Everything is good. You have a great looking site, and ready to take you online business to the next level. You’ve got all your “marketing tools” up and ready to promote your business. You have selected a few elite affiliate networks to work with, and you are all systems go.

Now, what’s missing? The hard part, generating content. Without content, there is nothing for your audience to share or talk about. Without content there is nothing to SEO. Without content, there is nothing for anybody to link back to. Without content, your marketing efforts can be seriously hampered as you need to offer something of value to your potential visitors. Without content, you know the drill…

Definition Of Content Curation

Good question and my quest to find an easy to understand definition of the term yielded very little results. I did however come across GetCurata.com which defines a content curator like this:

A Content Curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific issue online.

What Are The Advantages Of Content Curation?

To be an effective curator of a certain topic, I am of the opinion that you have to not only love it, but also know how to “identify” valuable information. By providing real value to the community and doing things properly, you can at a certain point, be considered as an authority of the subject matter, thus allowing you to build more relationships, increase your social engagement, build your brand, etc.

Curating content is not that hard really. What you need is a great Content Curation Tool, and Scoop.it is one of those that I have been using lately.

If you are interested, here's a more information about one of my "now" favorite Content Curation Tool.

Anyway, that suggestion did spark a good idea for letting people know what works for me and with that said, I will probably be writing more specific posts about it. Today, I will start with Google AdSense.

Here are some suggestions on how to improve your Google AdSense Earnings.

WordPress plugins are tools that extends this popular platform’s functionality. With WP plugins, almost anything can be done or added to your WP powered site. There are plugins for your design, SEO, security, social sharing, management, productivity, and more. Think about some functionality you want to add,  and most likely, some WordPress developer has already done it. The WordPress repository has an estimated 15K plus of available plugins for everyone to use and obviously, there are the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Now, you might or might not heard of WordPress Junkies (WPJ) before. It is a project that Michele of NewBizBlogger and I, decided to launch not so long ago. WPJ is a social and bookmarking site for all WordPress enthusiasts and lovers. Find more info here.

That said, the both of us, being users and strong advocates of using this software to support all types of online ventures, we thought it would be beneficial to provide our community and readers a list of plugins that have provided us the most value. After many, many, many hours of work… an eBook is born.
