Content Curator
We are living in the age of the internet. And any brand that wants to stay relevant has to build a successful online presence that delivers engaging information to its audience. That’s where content curators come in. Content Curator VBOs scour the internet to find articles, blogs, videos, and images on a particular topic.
They then share that information in an easy-to-navigate collection online via social media feeds and blogs. If you love research and social media, becoming a content curator could a great fit for you.
DESCRIPTION
You’ve been to a museum right? Museums display beautiful art and interesting artifacts in collections to draw in visitors. Every item on exhibit was hand selected by a curator. Museum curators consult with other museums, galleries and collectors to acquire items for display. The job requires meticulous research skills and a keen eye. Likewise, content curators consult with brands, influencers, and online authorities to find relevant info to share online. Content creators can host and share content on their own website or feeds, but they often work with clients. Content curators help businesses build their online presence by supplying a steady stream of content that audiences will interact with online. Successful Content Curators should be able to find relevant information that is interesting, timely and helpful to the intended audience. Not every post, article or video is worth sharing — prudent content curators only share the best of the best.
