Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 1 To grow you or your company’s influence in today’s online world, you must be a worthy resource for helpful information so you can help others filter out all of the noise online. Content curation is a crucial part of a successful content marketing strategy and a social media strategy. Content curation enables busy professionals to act like museum curators, sharing the best of other people’s content. Curating content is an excellent tactic for generating ideas for your own created content. It also enables you to easily share content that you don’t create from scratch and helps you grow your authority on certain subjects such as digital marketing. Unlike content aggregation, which uses a computer’s automation and algorithms to find articles, videos, and images, content curation uses the human touch. It’s the process of finding and sharing the best content with your audience through social media, your website, and/or blog. Those who find the sweet spot between content creation and content curation are more successful online. A Curata report reveals that more than 50 percent of marketers who curate content enhance their brand visibility, thought leadership, search engine optimization (SEO) and website traffic. Here are 5 content curation resources you should explore: 1.
