...If you haven’t used content curation as part of your content marketing strategy, you could be missing out. Content curation sites and pages frequently attract audiences because they fulfill a very real need to skip through the clutter and find valuable content. People simply don’t have the time nor the patience to pore through pages of Google results, Twitter feeds, and Facebook messages in order to find the items that want. Content curation offers up a considerably faster and potentially useful avenue for discovery. When you curate content well, you can build up an audience of people who depend on your ability to point them towards the resources they need. You become an authority figure, a trusted source. And in the internet, that trust is invaluable....

If you still wonder what content curation is, here's a short guide for you !
Scoop.it!
Many businesses focus heavily on creating fresh, high quality content. Although content creation is an indispensable part of content marketing, content curation is powerful as well. It can add value to the content you already have, allow you to connect with your audience more effectively, and give you the freedom to focus on creating content that will truly benefit your brand. According to the Content Marketing Institute, “Content curation is a means by which we either supplement or promote our brand’s point of view to our specific audiences within the context of how the ‘world’ is talking about that particular topic.” Although it’s true that a lot of curated content comes from outside sources, you can also curate your own content by using content your company has already created....

You need to read carefully and decide if resources are relevant, if they are unique and if they are of value to your audience.

Content curation is a tremendous opportunity for brands to provide a useful and ever-engaging service for time-poor consumers who are eager to learn, research and be entertained. When it comes to content, consumers both enjoy and suffer from a plurality of choice. With something like 2 million new articles published to the web each day, the options can be paralysing for consumers. By curating content from various sources and bringing them together in a branded hub, brands can distill the digital ‘wheat from the chaff’, so that consumers don’t have to....

You can’t just snap your fingers and produce great content. To get stories and images that people actually care about, you need to address the higher-order problems your customers are facing today or will face tomorrow. You have to do the sustained work of thinking through these problems and coming up with relevant insights. Consider Adobe’s new content-marketing strategy. Several years ago the company’s mainstay business of graphics applications was struggling against new competition, including free software. In response, executives made a concerted effort to step back and think about customers’ most important graphics-related problems. They saw that although online retailers were putting up fancy websites, the companies weren’t connecting their accumulated consumer data to the pages in order to drive sales. So Adobe invested in R&D and made some analytics-based acquisitions in order to develop a platform to make that possible. Dubbed the Marketing Cloud, this new platform would enable websites to show the right images to the right customers at the right time....

Small businesses take note: It's no longer about your products and services. It's about giving your customers what they want and need--and not old-fashioned marketing. What is content creation and curation? This is just a way to describe the way companies create--and share from other sources--stories and information that their audiences find compelling. Those channels have attempted to disintermediate the traditional relationships that existed between, say, Inc. Magazine and entrepreneurs or IBM and CIOs of global banks. Any company with an online presence can now be a publisher and curator. The biggest change for small businesses is marketing. It’s no longer just about your products and services--it’s now also about your customer’s wants and needs. Sure, you know that already, and hopefully you base your sales strategy around it. But your content and online presence may still be mired in the old marketing mentality.So become a content creator and curator. You can get pretty far with these five steps...
