Jan Gordon: My commentary
This is one of the suggestions that was mentioned in tis article but I can't stress this enough, it should be #1
After you've discovered who the right influencers are, always look for ways you can sincerely contribute to them that is meaningful, then find ways to leverage the relationship and make it a win/win for both of you.
Intro:
"if you want to grow your business, you need to know who the influencers are in your field, learn from their expertise and build a productive professional relationship with them".
Why leverage influencers?:
"Influencers are hubs of information, they have many followers who respect their recommendations and opionions and being featured by them sends a powerful amount of targeted traffic your way - It's good old fashioned word of mouth recommendations on steriods" Here are a few ways to discover influencers that I personally do myself: **Twitter Lists - Twitter is a great untapped resource for finding influencers and keep track of what they are posting **Groups and Forums - These are valuable sources of information. **Podcasts and webinars - This is a great way to find key influencers - whether it's through interviews, presentations, information products of their own or curated information by others Here are a few ways to build relationships that I've found very effective in finding influencers in my industry:
**Connect through the social media platforms they use
**Share the posts that are of value to your audience, retweet & quote their content, share, comment and like their Facebook posts
**Help promote what they are involved with, including charity causes, seminars, conferences, publiations and promotions

I selected this article from conversationagent today not only does it have some great tips for creating compelling content but it gives you examples of people who are doing a good job with each suggestion.
These ideas can be used for content curators as well - to create buzz and build an audience, providing "context" is what sets you apart from others - these tips are ways to accomplish that.
"Connecting ideas and people -- how talk can change our lives".
Here are a few things that caught my attention:
**. Make digestible bits of advice in micro-interactions gain big impact. Kellye Crane built a community for #soloPR practitioners off a Twitter chat filled with useful advice.
** Create a new list. People like to see where things stack against each other. By far, the most popular list is still the one Todd And created and AdAge took over.
** Give away secrets and tips to help others become more effective. Adam Singer is very generous in that regard.
** Teach something new or from a new perspective. Kathy Sierra has been able to do that on a topic that for many was considered not quite appealing . ** Inspire people to take action and change the world. Entrepreneur Chris Guilleabeau is a good example of that.
** Be opinionated about future trends. That's a trait that is best exemplified by Robert Scoble.
** Track and review future trends from behind the scenes. A good guide is Louis Gray.
**Create a conversation around a social object. That's what Hugh MacLeod does.
** Become the expert hub on a subject matter. The consistent "go to" person for branding is the team at Branding Strategy Insider.

Fully 1/3 of my business in executive search, speaking engagements, and consulting projects come directly from content curation and marketing.
