<\/p>\nIf you\u2019ve decided to make this the year that you really take action when it comes to content marketing and social media- congratulations! As you\u2019ve probably noticed (and likely why you\u2019ve waited this long to get going in the first place), it takes a lot of hard work and time to create high quality content on an ongoing basis. You may be lucky to publish one new blog post a week. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that you only have one thing to publish in social media a week. As you work on building up your portfolio of original content, you can spend time-sharing the content of others in social media.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are 5 tips for curating social media content:<\/strong><\/p>\n Share content that\u2019s relevant<\/strong> Read it through first<\/strong>
\nThe content\/links that get shared on a business social media page need to be relevant to the business. Anything that\u2019s off topic can confuse followers. Even if you aren\u2019t the one creating the content, it needs to be something that you could create, or would like to create (if you had the time). In fact, this type of content is a great resource when creating content of your own. You might not want to share the work of your competitors but content that\u2019s produced by industry publications, events, or other thought leaders in the space works well.<\/p>\n
\nBefore hitting the \u201cshare\u201d or \u201cre-tweet\u201d button on an article, make sure to take the time to read it through first to ensure its accuracy and quality. Just because the title looks good doesn\u2019t mean the article itself is actually good. By sharing content with your followers, it essentially says that you agree with it and are vouching for it unless of course you specifically say otherwise.<\/p>\n
