Do's and Don'ts of Content Curation

The final post in this weeklong series on content curation is the "do's and don'ts."

  • No matter where you publish, always remember to add something of your own to the curated content. Just sharing a link on Twitter isn't content curation; neither is copying and pasting sections of someone else's article to your blog, even if you give them attribution. 
  • Try using your curated content as the basis for explaining your opinions, giving insights on a new topic, or exploring the opinions of others.

  1. Great post! and I enjoyed the week longs posts as well. I wanted to share an asset we've created on the 5 simple steps to becoming a content curation rockstar with your audience. It reinforces many of the points you've made as well. http://www.curata.com/resources/ebooks/5-simple-steps-to-becoming-a-content-curation-rockstar/ thanks and keep curating!
