Another great tip mentioned on the Social Revolver blog, is to add your presentations to the LinkedIn groups that you belong to. So, if you belong to groups with thousands of members, that's a lot of potential views. Many groups send out a daily digest email that contains the day's activity. Your post will then potentially reach those LinkedIn group members who didn't even log into the site, but just read the email digest. You can also tweet a link to your presentations on Twitter to get even more exposure.
