Content Curation Tips

Howdy
★ Thank you Tony

Howdy
★ Changes
★ How I present

The Beginning

★ 1996 - “Content is where
I expect much of the
real money will be made
on the Internet, just as
it was in broadcasting.”
The Beginning

★ 1997 - Danny Sullivan and Leland Harden coin
the phrase “search engine optimization”
★ From their book “Net Results”
★ It turned out that what governed organic search results back then
was how many times the keyword appeared on the web page. The
Cybernautics designers had done a tasteful job and the keyword
Jefferson Starship did not appear as often as it did on fan pages
about the band. Once Bob had his designers have the words
Jefferson Starship recur on the page in tiny black print against a
black background the page rank vaulted to number one. The band
was pleased.
★ Bob and Leland Harden called this new field Search Engine
Optimization and soon thereafter hired the first SEOM (Search
Engine Optimization Manager). And so SEO was born.

Audience

Audience
★ Identify your target audience
★ Everyone is not your audience
★ Your audience includes more than humans

Audience
★ Understand what types of content resonate
with your audience
★ Do they respond to photos? controversy?
humor? video? politics? art? local?

Audience
★ When does your audience click and what do
they share?
★ Timing matters - A LOT!
★ Identify clickable content
★ There’s no “formula” - you have to figure
this out on your own for each client/project

Content

Content
★ Think of content broadly
★ Cliche - a picture (or a video) is worth more than words
★ Think of ways that you can layer content into something
new

Content
★ Be an industry go-To resource
★ Share, analyze, and visualize what’s happening across
your industry as well as with your competition

Content
★ Point your audience to valuable subject matter
★ What does your audience value?
★ Keep people coming back to your web site and social
media accounts by entertaining them, making themselves
better, or helping them do their jobs better

Content
★ Find content that people
don’t normally have access
to
★ Mix in occasional quirky
items that make people
smile, laugh, or think

Content

Content
★ Create a Twitter list
★ Curated lists let people
identify a lot of sources of
good content in one place
★ Build a sharing circle on
Google+
★ Maybe it’s brands you admire, or
industry experts, or your
customers

Content
★ Consume, consume, consume - get away from your computer
★ Ideas and inspiration (and great content) come from
everywhere

Content
★ Follow relevant industry sources and
organizations - their email
newsletters are your friend
★ You can often find nuggets of
industry information on yahoo/google
finance, podcasts, slideshare and
linkedin

Content
★ Experiment with formats
★ Posts with visuals are shared 30% more often than posts
without. Except when they’re not. It’s all about your
target audience

Content
★ Provide content to others that
they can curate
★ The system doesn't work if we’re
all takers
★ Use META DATA to insure you get
SEO credit for your work when
possible

Community

Community
★ Credit your original source
★ Nothing else to say about this

Community
★ Personalize when you share content
★ Answer the question: What makes this photo, video, data,
infographic with sharing?

Community
★ Comment on what you’re
sharing
★ Commenting adds value; it
also makes you more
approachable

Community
★ Say thank you
★ Closing the loop
isn’t just good form,
it’s also key to a
robust community

Community
★ Showcase your community
★ Don’t just share what they
share; tout their
accomplishments and cool
deeds
★ http://geekbeat.tv/dropcam

Community
★ Be a member of your own
community
★ Don’t just spam; Engage
with your audience

Measurement

Measurement
★ Set smart, challenging, achievable goals
★ Make digital curation pay off by aligning your efforts to
business goals

Measurement
★ Monitor your metrics
★ Measure the ROE and the
ROI
★ Are you ready for me to
drop some mad tactical
strategy on you?

Measurement
★ Do more of this…

Measurement
★ Do less of this…
