Cura6on of GREAT / Viral Content!
What Is ‘CuraEon’ • Firstly… Cura6on Is Not A BAD thing! It got a lot of bad publicity years ago because it wasn’t great for SEO. Times have changed though!
• We Have Rules We Need To Follow To Curate Properly
• We Never Claim That Any Of The Material Is Ours Unless It Truly Is Our Content
• Cura6on is simply using other’s content with a bit of our own spin and carefully credi6ng the source
The Cura6on Process
• Find winning content that you ALREADY know is going to be popular
• Scrape it from the source
• Add your own secret sauce • Publish it
What Content are You Really Searching For?
• Parameters that content tool uses make it easy! • Gut feeling – how does it feel to you • But, TESTING is the thing! • Pos6ng it on site and FB • Next session – Process and schedule to follow of – Pos6ng content on website and FB – Evalua6ng engagement – Making viral ads from TESTED content and making it rain!

• ALWAYS! AWLAYS! Say Thank You & LINK BACK TO THE SOURCE Of The Image!
Show Example on Extreme Rush
How To Curate ArEcles • Cut & Paste The Ar6cle To Your Sites ‘Post’
– Watch Out For Images, Ads & Other Links You may accidently Copy & Paste
• Trim the ar6cle down to only 50% of the original ar6cle – The Easy Way, If there are 400 words Only Use 200 words or If there is 10 paragraphs only use 5 of them – Just don’t over use the ar6cles
• If You Use The Images In An Ar6cle You Can Only Use 50% of Those Images – If there are 4 images use only 2 of those images
• Block Quote & Source Everything • ALWAYS WRITE 100 WORDS OF YOUR OWN CONTENT
