CONTENT CURATION

Page 2: Content curation

My name is Dado Van Peteghem

I’m a 28 year old guy from Belgium. I live and

work in Ghent, the greatest city on earth.

In what follows I want to

share my daily routine with you:

the fine art of selecting,

spreading and creating content.

It’s called content curation.

And I think it can be of value for you.

You can follow me on Twitter via

@dadovanpeteghem or mail

me at [email protected] if you want

to get in touch. Don’t hesitate.

Every company should think of itself as a media company, and publish to its customers, to its staff, to its communities. Tom Foremski, journalist and thought-leader.

HOW …a short and practical guide.

Page 12: Content curation

Your passion is your niche. Start from your passion, something that makes you tick. It’s the only way to create a natural reflex. If content curation feels like work, you’re doing it wrong. Check out ‘Crush It’ by Gary Vaynerchuk to learn more about passion.

Build a list of sources worth following. Alltop & Technorati are great places to start your search. Also mine Twitter via search.twitter.com to see what kind of sources other people in your niche are using. These are the sources that inspire me on a daily basis.

Use smart technology for aggregation. Work efficient to make it scalable, centralize your content via tools like Google Reader and Feedly. They help you to aggregate everything in one place, and offer everything you need to spread content in your network.

Page 15: Content curation

Incorporate ‘read, tag & spread’ in your daily routine Fix a timeslot in your agenda to scroll through your daily content feeds. It’s the first thing I do in the morning, like a newspaper 2.0. It takes about 1 hour every day, just to give you an idea. Don’t forget the weekends by the way, no kidding =)

Page 16: Content curation

Again: use smart technology. Tagging content via online bookmarks is like building a giant open library and archive. I like to use Pinboard.in (there are alternatives) Dlvr.it is a smart tool that scans my feeds from Pinboard and automatically shares what I select.

Page 17: Content curation

Don’t be a robot. Share a compelling mix. Make sure to balance your content to stay worth following for your network. 1. Don’t overdo, only share the very best content. 2. Try to share a mix of text links, pictures and video. 3. And make it fun, don’t be a robotized machine.

Page 18: Content curation

Follow opinion leaders in your domain. Get on their radar. It’s important to learn from the best. I closely follow what opinion leaders in my niche share and create. The tools above will help you to find them. And they allow you to measure the evolutions in your personal influence as well.

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE TOOLS

Page 19: Content curation

Have a homebase to spread your own stories. A good content curator is a respected source of information. Leverage that context and go beyond just sharing what other people create. Build your own stories on your homebase. I love Wordpress & Tumblr for that.

Curate conferences. Top notch content all over the place! Conferences like The Next Web or LeWeb are great opportunities in my niche. I can set up interviews, write blogs and tweet about it. It’s real time curation. And I meet great people in real life, like Madlen Nicolaus (@madleeeen) from Kodak.

Page 21: Content curation

Love books, and share the love. I really love reading books. I mean, real paper books (see picture). Books are great conversation starters. Write summaries, share reviews and recommend the best ones to your network.

Page 22: Content curation

Keep an eye on the impact. Set up metrics. Measuring tools provide you with the right information to map the impact of your actions. It’s necessary to keep track of the types of content that get picked up. Adapt accordingly. I use Google Analytics, Woopra, Tweetdeck & Twittercounter.com.
