WHAT IS CONTENT CURATION?
Content curation is hand picking the best content on the web, adding your personal touch to it (think commentary, reviews, etc…) and sharing it with your audience on your blog or website. We recommend seeking out content that is relevant and meaningful to your users, while also aligning with your brand and image. Bonus points for curating material that is “trending”.
HOW DOES CONTENT CURATION BENEFIT ME?
Want more content on your blog? Can’t find the time to create it? Curating content will save you time, leading to more posts, leading to a boost in value on your blog. The more you are connecting with your audience, the more trust (and traffic) you are building.
“Quite simply, providing fresh and relevant content in an organized way, improves SEO for the site it lives on.” – Quote from a Curata 2012 Content Curation Adoption Survey
