You've heard of content curation, but maybe you're still not 100% sure why it's something you need to make part of your content marketing strategy. After all, you're focusing on other people's content, right? Maybe you've been attempting to curate, but haven't seen results?

On this episode, UpContent CEO Scott Rogerson shares tips on doing content curation the right way. Learn how a strategic approach to curation takes you a step beyond "sharing other people's content" to build your brand's position as a thought leader and to create a learning organization.

Scott covers:

  • Typical fears and concerns when it comes to content curation
  • How curation can position the brand and sales reps as subject matter experts
  • The definition of good curation and how it's different from content aggregation
  • Typical mistakes marketers still make with content curation
  • How to use content curation to support evergreen and pillar page strategies
  • The importance of consistency when curating (frequency, posting) and how technology can help minimize time and effort
  • The role of curation in other areas: social media, employee advocacy, original content ideation, internal information sharing and education
    • Enlisting the help of subject matter experts across the organization to curate the right content for marketers to leverage
    • Ways to distribute curated content
    • How sales teams are beginning to embrace content curation for social selling, personal brand building, and sharing knowledge with the marketing team
    • Using content curation tools to build learning organizations (internally)
    • Leveraging technology to get more out of content curation
    • Legal concerns (like the EU Copyright Directive) and the future of content curation
