4. Curation

Obviously, Original content is best. But do you know what else is good?

CURATION!

This is where you share someone else’s blog post. You write an introduction – or copy the first sentence or two – and include a link back to the original article.

This is really good for filling in the gaps in your blogging plan.
If you are keeping a bookmark folder of articles you like – you might find some that you don’t want to RE-TELL – but would rather just share. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO THAT!

Just don’t copy their whole article – and I recommend writing a sentence or two of introduction.

If you need some help with it – I use the “My Curate” plugin for wordpress – and it has a bookmarklet that makes it easy to gather and curate content.
