Looking for ways to improve the content you publish? You’re in good hands.
Content curation is a great way to maximize the results of your content marketing efforts that allows you to create more quality content at scale, yet many marketers don’t know how to leverage content curation in their strategies successfully. When used correctly, content curation is a powerful way for marketers to be more efficient and impactful with their content marketing.
What is content curation again?
It’s ok to ask again, it can be confusing. As you learned in last month’s discussion on best practices for content curation in 2016, content curation is a lean content marketing technique that allows marketers to publish more quality content that generates more equivalent results with a smaller investment. To be more specific, content curation involves sourcing, enriching, and publishing 3rd party content that is relevant to your audience. Added benefits of content curation include:
- helps publish more content for less
- helps build relationships with influencers
- adds credibility to the editorial line
Data point: Content curation helps SMB Marketers generate 3.7x the amount of content for the same amount of time and 5.2x the amount of content for the same costs. Source: http://business.scoop.it/content-curation-roi/
