Most of us understand the value of sharing information. But when the information belongs to others, we wonder “what’s the point?” Yet, as massive amounts of information abound, the art of content curation can help us provide resources to our audiences while positing ourselves as an authority. Here’s how. Curate When You Can't Create It takes more than just words to create content. Where do you turn to find new ideas or inspiration? Pointing others away from your site shouldn’t be regarded as poor marketing, but rather as a savvy way to position yourself and your company as an industry authority.

Additionally, sharing secondary resources says that you and your company thinks outside the box. According to Andew Hannelly in his article Needles, Haystacks, and Content Curation for The Magazine Group’s Engage blog, how a company exhibits others information is what customers will regard as their end product. How did you present it to them? The Wisdom on Curated Content. Ten Steps to Content Curation. Content Curation is rapidly becoming one of the buzzwords du jour, as we all drown in a sea of content coming at us from every direction, through multiple devices and on a 24/7/365 always on timeline.

What is content curation? My definition may be somewhat abridged from industry pundits – here goes: “organizing and sharing the most relevant content on a finite subject.” Why is content curation important to your brand or business? Simple answer – if you want to connect with your potential customers and market segment your content has to be relevant, concise and “speak to your market” in a meaningful way. According to latest news, our ability to store, communicate and compute content has been growing at a rate of 23% per annum since 1986. (Science Magazine).

We are all drowning in a mass of content, encompassing digital assets, including photos and videos coming at us via the web, email, smartphones. Ten Steps to Content Curation: 1) Get a grasp of your market focus. The Five Stages of Filtering, Relevance and Curation. Tonight's news of Gmail taking on information overload directly, using a combination of intelligent algorithms and your own feedback to build in box personalization is yet another hallmark move to taking on the increasing deluge of content approaching us from all directions - be it our e-mail, static Web pages, audio and video, or the many different social streams which we have subscribed to.

There is no question that content creation and sharing is exploding and people are completely incapable of giving every single message and item their full attention. And many smart folks are looking to bring solutions to find the best and ignore the rest. As I see it, there are five major ways companies and individuals take on the topic of relevance. 1. Editorial Filtering Loose definition: I am the smartest person. Of course, it is easy for an individual to be a curator. 2.

The Psychological Principle Behind Marketing Success In a Networked World | Jeff Sexton Writes. Eight years after it was first pub­lished, Steven Pressfield’s The War of Art has sold sig­nif­i­cantly more copies this year than any year fol­low­ing its ini­tial release.

In indus­try where writ­ers expect to lose money on their non-fiction books and to have their titles all but lan­guish after the ini­tial pub­lish­ing push, this rep­re­sents am incred­i­ble suc­cess story – one accom­plished with­out a tra­di­tional mar­ket­ing push, or a plug by Oprah (though it darn well deserves it, if you hap­pen to be read­ing Ms. Win­frey), or even a re-release from the publisher. How did Steve do it? A few rea­sons come to mind, some more salient than others: 1) The book has proved itself a mod­ern clas­sic for its intended audi­ence of writ­ers and reg­u­larly makes appear­ances in Top 10 lists of books for writ­ers.

Writing - Five Ways to Gain Attention the 'Write' Way.

Imagine this headline in an ad for a low-cost mobile phone targeted at low-income consumers: "65000-color display will make your life as colorful as a rainbow and new sound technology will ensure clear sound. " Does it work? Or, consider this: a software product requirement document for adding new features reads, in part, "The users should be able to collaborate while using the product. " Does that requirement specifically convey what needs to be developed? Unfortunately, the answer to both questions is No. What is common in both examples is that they are part of a marketing effort for the respective products.

When discussing social media with business executives, I'm frequently reminded of the fable of the elephant and the blind men.

One feels the elephant's side and proclaims that an elephant is like a wall.

A second, feeling one of the elephant's legs, says it is like a pillar. A third, touching the tusk, describes the animal as being like a solid pipe. Although each man's description was accurate, each perceived only part of the elephant; none had a perspective of the entire beast. It's the same with many business executives and their views of social media: "Social media? Such statements reflect perceptions of "parts of the beast"—components (tools) of social media. Here is a four-phase adoption model designed to reveal the entire elephant that is social media. Phase I: Observation Phase II: Preparation Phase IV: Integration.
