1. Curate other people’s research

Example: The Ideal Length of Everything Online by Kevan Lee of Buffer
Lee creates a great piece of curated content in which he collected the best of other people’s research. He organizes the information to give readers an overview of the most relevant research. Further, as a good content curator, Lee adds extra value to the content by including his own commentary.

2. Spotlight the best images in your niche

Example: World’s Coolest Offices from Inc.
This is a great example of how to curate images and make them your own. Use vibrant and engaging photos to draw in readers.

3. Curate your comment section for new insights

Example: Simon Dumenco’s Six More Media and Marketing Buzzwords That Must Die from Ad Age

He utilizes user-generated content and gives credit where credit is due. It’s an easy-to-read, shareable piece of great content.

4. Get influencers to help curate epic content

Example: How 10 Winning Salespeople Spend 15 Minutes Before a Sales Call on the Salesforce blog
