Curation Is The Quick Way To Start Your Business

12 years ago, I created a video about curation, it became my 2nd most viewed video on YouTube with over 16,000 views.

That video was called What Is Content Curation. (I’ll drop it below if you are interested in watching it)

I created it because I was starting a project where I built 2 curated blogs. After 6 months, I sold these for $2000 each, which wasn’t bad for something that took me less than 2 hours per week to run.

Curation Is All Around You

Social Media

Communities

Newsletters

Articles

Videos

All these can be curated.

Each morning I spend a few minutes looking for interesting content that can impart a valuable lesson to my newsletter subscribers.

If I have published something I consider useful, I’ll use that, often there are elements of curation in those articles.
