Share
Imagine this: You're a social media manager who needs to push out content on your Twitter account, fast. You ask yourself, "How can I possibly be creative and efficient at the same time?" You're in luck — content curation is the answer.
First, one-third of your social feeds should consist of promotional content, driving sales and generating profit. Another third of your feed should be composed of interactions with others, such as replies, comments and sharing user-generated content. Finally, the last third of your feed should focus on sharing outsider content, or curated content. By sharing curated content, you're demonstrating to your audience that you are a leader in your industry, because you know who the thought influencers in your sphere are and are sharing their content. This builds your brand's identity and your audience's loyalty.
Before you add Twitter accounts to your lists, don't forget to verify that they are reliable sources with stellar content. This means checking for any spelling or grammar errors, too!

What Is Content Curation?
Curating content is the opposite of creating content from scratch. In essence, the process of content curation is like finding needles in a haystack. Curating content involves sorting through the millions of articles, blogs and photos on the web, and then picking the most valuable pieces of information and organizing them in an easily accessible place. From there, you share the content with your audience. While you can curate content yourself, luckily, there are tools online that can provide you with curated content. By tapping into the functions of these platforms, you won't end up on the umpteenth page of Google, wasting time scrolling through pages of possible content until your fingers start to cramp. This ever-growing social media strategy recognizes the importance of social channels that aren't just your own; content curation places an emphasis on discovering over creating. The best part? You're saving plenty of time.Content Curation Tips & Tools For Twitter
