Create a Curation Frequency
One of the best ways to share the best content with your followers is by curating social media content. However, prior to sharing content with your followers, you need to find out how many times per week you should be curating this content.
The frequency of curation typically varies based on the platform. Twitter, for example, will likely require more content curation compared to a platform like Facebook.
The ideal mix for content marketing, according to a study by Curata, is:
-
Original Content – 65%
-
Curated Content – 25%
-
Syndicated Content – 10%
