The ability to network successfully can be one of the greatest assets in business. It allows some people to find incredible opportunities, while others just watch from the sidelines.
Here are seven of the most important habits to develop:
1. Ask insightful questions.
2. Add value.
3. Learn their 'story.'
4. Share a memorable fact. Mention something personal that defines who you really are.
5. Keep a list. Lists give you something to reference in conversation the next time you meet.
6. Make small promises and keep them. No matter how small a promise you make -- such as sending an email or returning a phone call -- delivering on that promise reflects on your character.
7. Reward your 'power' contacts. Keep a list of your top five to 10 networking partners and do something each week to add value to one person's life or business.

Social Media is a fantastic way to spread the word about your products, services, or brand. That’s because social media makes it so much easier for you to connect with your customers, fans and target audiences.
Nowadays, almost every business has their Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ accounts set up and optimized with their various target keywords and company information. But that wasn’t enough. Unless they already had a strong brand name, these businesses didn’t instantly gain followers, likes, and a large fan base. So how did they do it?
Through promotion of course!
But the whole point of having these social media accounts to begin with was to promote your business, and now you have to figure out how to build traffic on these platforms too?
Well, the good news is that’s it’s not that difficult to do. In this post we’ll go over 4 simple marketing strategies you can implement to build a stronger social media following and get mass traffic going to your website. With these tactics, a little hard work, and consistency, you’ll notice a difference in your social media pages in no time.

This is a great piece by Heidi Cohen on why your marketing needs content curation and 12 attributes of a successful curation strategy. This is one of the best articles I've seen on this topic in a very long time.
As I said, I've seen many pieces on curation but if you're like me, everytime I read about this, I always find something new or am reminded of ways I can polish what I'm doing.
Here are some of the highlights.........
Intro:
Why Your Marketing Needs Content Curation
At its core, content curation is like a great editor or blogger who brings his unique taste and understanding of his target audience to his selection of the best content for his readers. **He provides context for the content so that it's more than a collection of information 3 Reasons your content marketing strategy needs content curation: 1. Offering your audience a combination of original and third party content provides a branded context for your work 2. Curating other people's content positions you and/or your organization as a tastemaker in your field 3. Creating sufficient content is a marketing and business challenge 12 Attributes of a successful content curation strategy: Here are a few things that caught my attention: *Has defined measurable goals As part of your content marketing strategy and by extension your marketing plan, content curation needs objectives that are associated with your business. **Targets a specific audience . *Content curation like other forms of content marketing requires understanding your readers' marketing persona
** Involves a community
*As with any social media or content marketing, your audience should be at the heart of your content efforts.
**Clay Shirky says it best:
"Curation comes up when people realize that it isn't just about information seeking, it's also about synchronizing a community" Selected and reviewed by Jan Gordon covering "Curation, Social Business and Beyond" Read full article here: [http://bit.ly/SpJEfQ} Via janlgordon

This is a really good article about content curation. There is nothing wrong with doing content curation, as it provides insight from multiple sources. As this article points out, the trick is curating content that adds value to whatever it is that you are adding the content to. In my case, it's my blog. I've followed most of these guidelines instinctively, because I want to provide quality information to share with fellow technical communicators and e-learning specialists.
Read this one carefully, as it's chock full of good advice. --techcommgeekmom

A really good point made here. Google has upped the ante for quality content and because of this it’s important that you have an ongoing content strategy. It’s also important that your site stays fresh and curates reliable sources.
There’s an important point to be made here about content creation. I think curation is a perfect strategy to test out if you can keep a schedule that would be required for true creation.
The other thing that curation does for you is it helps you get a good feel of the market. As you curate for a while you’ll start to see trends and opportunities for your own unique content....
