VentureBeat: Presentation sharing site SlideShare raises $3 million

  • Jon · 1 year ago
    I like Slideshare, but I am scratching my head to find the business model. At one level it is "file-sharing" (with a twist) and file sharing has been a great traffic attractor, but not a revenue maker not to mention the copyright problem.

    @Jon: actually the business model is pretty straightforward... many people who post presentations are using them as sales & marketing tools. the presentations attract potential customers, and SlideShare drives additional traffic that turn into customers (as per my blog post, several folks get a lot more visitors from the SlideShare community than from the slide owner's traffic alone).

    think of it as the LinkedIn of widgets / presentations... people looking at those presentations tend to be from business-focused demographics, with very specific attention to content & keywords. that's a highly monetizable audience.

    I agree. it does compete somewhere between sites like Scribd and Docstoc but after reading all about it I'm sure it offers a more beneficial service like Google Presentations.
