The Benefits of Curated Content Sharing to the Consumer and Creator
Curated content is a type of content that has been created by someone else and is shared on social media. It can be a video, an article, or anything that is seen as valuable.This type of content has become popular and more common in the last few years.

4 Ways to Get Inspiration for Your Own Content by Sharing Other’s Work
There are many ways to get inspiration for your own content. One of them is by sharing other people’s work. If you’re looking to get some fresh ideas, you’ll get a lot of them by just looking at what others are doing. You can find inspiration in the form of blog posts, tweets, online courses and videos, podcasts, or even a book.
The following are five ways that you can find inspiration by sharing other people’s work:
1) Share something on social media
If you want to share something on social media, make sure it’s something that will resonate with your followers and their interests. For example, if your followers like photography but not cooking recipes- don’t post
2.) Share someone’s YouTube content
If someone creates a great tutorial or guide on something related to your product or service, you can share their content and add your own thoughts and opinions to what they shared.
3.) Share someone else’s Blog Content
There is plenty of great content on there and I can guarantee you can find great content that would be in line with how you view your product and services. As with the video, you can share their content and add your own commentary to the piece.
4.) Share someone’s infographic or chart
Infographics and charts are great visuals to use to educate people on facts and statistics surrounding your product or service. Not everyone has access to the tools and resources to conduct detailed research. So it is a great idea to utilize existing tools to enhance your message. Be inspired by what others create, apply it to your message, and give the infographic or graph a story as to how it applies to you.
With all of the examples above, it is key that you be sure to give credit to the original poster. Tag them in social media posts, link to their original article or video, whatever it takes to let you audience know who originally created the product as well as inform the creator that you appreciate and are sharing their works.
