5 Reasons Why You Should Use Content Curation as Part of Your Blogging Strategy

As a blogger, you may think you are generating enough content.  As this article points out though, content curation adds a new element to your work.  It allows you to “offer your reader the world and a broader information experience.”   MyCurator it makes it easy to begin curation on your WordPress blog.  And our Notebooks capability allow you to save up interesting articles for more complex curations or as source information for your original content.

Content curation has been around for a while, but many bloggers, including book marketers, don’t realize the advantages or benefits it offers.

This form of marketing comes in various forms throughout the internet. Of those variations there is one common thread: content curation is related to article marketing, or more specifically to content marketing.

5 easy ways to curate content on your blog

5 easy ways to curate content on your blog

A good, thorough article on curation.  One of the key features of MyCurator is that it makes searching for and finding good content so easy.  This article just popped up in my list of curation articles after being found through a Google Alert.  It was easy to review the full content in  a pop-up and then quickly publish it.

I like to think of content curation as utilizing existing content in a new, value-added way. It isn’t sharing entire pieces of other people’s content with your audience (that’s syndication), and it isn’t compiling lists of links with no additional commentary (this is content aggregation, and Google doesn’t like this!) Content curation is a bit of an art form, and takes some time to perfect. But once you’ve figured out a strategy that works, you’ll have a process in place for regularly finding, compiling and editorializing content your audience will love!
