Follow these steps to ensure you get as much coverage as possible before and after your presentation:

Prepare your PowerPoint as normal. Refer to SSW Rules to Better Presentations
Work on your presentation from SharePoint to allow sharing
Get your content checked by a tester and a designer)
Before you upload to SlideShare, add two slides:
1. On the last slide, add a generic SlideShare link such as slideshare.net/YourAccount - E.g. slideshare.net/SSWConsulting/
2. On the first slide add a note that contains the version. This is so that you can compare easily what version is on SharePoint and what is on SlideShare
Figure: Add the version number on the bottom right corner of your first or second slide
Upload to SlideShare – Make sure the title doesn’t have the version number on it
Go to “My uploads” and change the presentation title to have the version number

Figure: Adding the version number to the title (after uploading) won’t affect the URL
Create a "_OnSlideshare.txt" file with the Slideshare URL and add it to SharePoint on the same folder where the original PPT is
Now you can present!
