You have undoubtedly heard the term, content curation. In fact, you may be using curated content for your business as we speak. As you read the vast amount of material that is available to you on the Internet, you have come across content that is rather complex and convoluted. Getting back to the basics of content curation may be helpful at this point.
The definition of content curation
If you are not familiar with the term, it can be explained in pretty simple terms. Content curation is defined as taking another writer's content, sharing it on your website or social media channel(s) (with attribution to that writer, of course), and generally adding a commentary of your own. This will give your readers a new, insightful, hopefully deeper understanding of the topic and it will allow them to consider the topic in a fresh, new way. It is definitely to your credit if you can incorporate curated content into your overall content marketing strategy. You may be surprised at how many valuable pieces of content you can find on the web. You are enhancing your readers' experience if you share it with them.
Although you are not starting from scratch when you choose to share curated content, you are still enhancing it with your own special touch. It is entirely possible that the content (before you started to work on it) was read on a very limited basis. Once you chose to work on it, your spin and your expertise and creativity may have caused it to go viral. It is all about giving your readers what they want and need. The truth is that what they want and need doesn't always need to be original content that you write. The fact of the matter is that they will appreciate the widened perspective. You will be giving them a great deal to think about. Another side effect is that you will be creating a unity among your readers and they will have a desire to keep coming back, over and over again, for more interesting, insightful content about which they can relate. In many online situations, content is sifted and chosen by a non-human. In the case of content curation, it is the human who is choosing to share that particular content. Considering that your relationship with your readers is critical, content curation is an extremely good idea (as long as you share a combination of original and curated content over time).
