When it comes to curating content to add to your editorial calendar, sometimes it can look pretty simple at a glance, adding topics and planning your next piece — or does it? Content curation may look from the outside as a quick fix to getting content fast, but it is most definitely not. It can be quite the complicated beast.
As you start pulling your sources together to generate your curated content, keep a few myths in mind that can potentially stop you from pointless hours of sorting and brainstorming.
Myth #1: Content Curation Is One Size Fits All. Just like any content or SEO strategy, content curation does not always fit into one box for every niche. You can curate content for any industry, but the most effective methods may vary from one niche to another. When you are in the first steps of developing a content curation strategy, carefully analyze the kind of content that performs well in your industry. This will make your strategy a bit quicker when you start curating, because your sources will be a little more obvious. Once you have a handle on the best content sources for your niche, your next curating effort should be a breeze.
