Understanding How Curating Content Can Help You

Content curation is scientific and creative skill of finding and sharing content on a specific topic for your readers while representing the brand. Understanding its dynamics take a while as this is time consuming and a mind boggling task. You got to find ideal, creative, new and most of all, interesting content for your readers to read at regular intervals. The content should match the brand level and must always aim to improve the already existing levels. Content curation helps you build more audience. You can then have a larger group of readers with whom you share your content, and they can spread your word. Many content curators share already shared content and re-share them. Sharing constantly is also the trick.  Successful curators share content as high as 8 to 10 times a day. Content sharing is today’s preferred way of curation. And it works!

Shortlist Your Audience

Short listing a stream of people to target, which is your audience, is the first step of the several easy yet time consuming steps towards content curation. List out all the people you want to attract. Also, think about what kind of audience are you trying to build and also, what kind of content you would like to share with them. Then, go ahead with the next step of the plan.

Streamline the Topic of Your Content Being Shared

As a content curator, it is really important to know what brand you are dealing with and what kind of content can be shared to maintain the pertinence. Select two to three topics that correspond to the brand represented and find interesting content around it. The content should primarily revolve around the interest of the readers. Around 70% of the readers select content based on the topics, so obviously you should limit yourself to the readers' requirements, since you're curating for SMO Marketing. When you are out there to market yourself as a content curator, you face the same defiance as a brand. You therefore, need to convey your message through your content carefully and clearly. Your readers should be able to tag you with your style of content sharing, like “the social media expert,” “the niche restaurant critic,” etc.

Quality Must Prevail in Curation

Your role as a content curator is more than just an information provider; you are better than a directory or any general search engine. The information you share must therefore, be of high quality and interesting enough to capture attention. People should be able to compare you with your contemporaries on the basis of your work, and the content being shared. Your work and skills are supposed to be of a filter meant for separating junk from the essential stuff. The more the people trust your sources, the higher is your popularity and the power to spread the word around.

Curate Regularly and Frequently

Apart from the relevance of the content, make sure you are regular with sharing it. Some great pieces of information and then a long pause will make you a communicator first, a redundant one later and after a point, forgotten. If you are not willing to compromise with the quality of the curated content, better not compromise on the frequency of curating and sharing the same.

Explore and Use the Tools for Content Curation

Not always can you find the most creative content to share unless you are an expert. To be an expert in a shorter time, you must use online tools that can help you find better content to curate with latest trends in curation and general information around your readers. The list of tools is endless - Pocket, Curata, ContentGems, Kuratur, etc.

Curating content is not as heavy headed a task as it may seem; it only gets better with time devoted to it and the steps mentioned above followed in retrospect and in continuity.
