Here are some best practices for getting the most out of SlideShare's lead generation service, LeadShare

Offer something specific and measurable in your lead form

• Lead forms with specific offers perform far better than generic ones - "... we'll get back within 24 hrs"  (specific)
• Forms assuring users of responsible behavior perform better - "... No Spam! That’s' a promise"  (assuring)
• Examples of best performing offers on LeadShare - "... we'll give you a 30 day free trial"  (measurable)

Give your lead presentations (or documents, videos) a strong title

• Your title is as far as most people go, so make it inviting
• Our research shows a strong title increases CTR by 10% (on a standalone basis)
• Use relevant keywords, but try to keep the title short

Make your first slide/page REALLY impressive

• The first slide is your thumbnail, so use big fonts and clear images
• Our research shows a striking first slide increases CTR by 15% (on a standalone basis)
• Check that it actually looks good at the smaller thumbnail size

Adopt an experimental approach

• You might need a few tries before figuring out the best approach
• Try different combinations of messages, offer text, questions in your campaign
• Change, fine tune and optimize till your maximum ROI

How do you increase the quality of leads you are collecting?

Quality of leads you collect is influenced by your lead campaign settings. Look up these options under the Advanced Options section of the lead form.

• If your leads are coming from an irrelevant country, change your geography targeting
• Try turning off leads on file downloads, sometimes file downloading gives lower quality leads
• If you are using content blocking, this may lower lead quality, make the form optional
• Sometimes putting the lead form in the middle of the presentation disrupts users leading to lower quality leads, try moving the form to the end
