Content Curation Strategy: A 5-Step Journey [Infographic]

Marketers who are hoping to better engage their buyers with content should consider adding content curation strategy to their marketing.  In fact, research indicates that leading marketers are curating 25% of all the content that they publish.

By curating third-party content, you will:

  • spend less time and resources creating your own original content
  • complement your own created content
  • shine a light on insights from thought leaders (great for influencer marketing and building your own credibility as a thought leader since you will avoid the trap of egocentric marketing)

But many content marketers may be wondering “How can I get started with content curation?

Are there best practices? Can I analyze its impact? To alleviate some of these pains, we recently published the Definitive Guide to Content Curation, which has 70+ pages of curation strategy and advice.
