I attended a live training call yesterday and learned about using DocStoc and SlideShare from Steve Gaghagen of onlinetechniques.net. DocStoc and SlideShare are repositories where anyone can upload and share documents like ppt and pdf’s.
Before the call, I had not heard of DocStoc. I had heard of SlideShare though as I found someone’s slide presentation on SlideShare when doing a Google search. These two services provide another way for people to find your content and your website. To get started, I created my accounts and setup my profiles.
I installed PowerPoint and opened it up. Note: if you don’t want to go with PowerPoint, an alternative is OpenOffice.org. I took one of my previous blog posts (Making Second Income Coach Work) and “repurposed” it (as Steve says). Actually I modified the content a bit and formatted it to create a slide presentation. I saved it to ppt format, converted it to a pdf, and uploaded it to both DocStoc and SlideShare. After that, I used OnlyWire to submit the document to social bookmarking sites.
Here’s my slide presentation if you want to check it out:
