If we could be more productive, we can get a lot more done, right? Well, that’s how I see it.

I’m always interested in finding new ways to become even more productive and get as much done as possible, as efficient as I can, allowing me to progress onto the next thing on my to-do-list.

In this article, I’ll be sharing 10 brilliant content curation tools that will make you much more productive. In no particular order, these are my favourite tools for content curation....

Most of us try to find the Google answers to at least 3 – 4 questions on a daily basis. Considering this, the apps or websites which host content about which people ask questions are bound to have huge traffic rates.

Wouldn’t you want your website or app to be one of the most talked-about ones? Wouldn’t you want to put up content which prompts user discussions and helps keep you in the news?

Finding content ideas that trigger user interaction to bring about a real change in your field of work is a very challenging task. All the more if you need to put up such content on a regular basis.

What would help would be a way in which you could find what makes users tick every now and then. What are things people like talking or asking questions about? Bloomberry is a unique online tool that lets you find out just that....

They’re two sides of the same coin, in that without a stream of discoverable content you have nothing to share and without any publishing tools you have nowhere to put all the great content you have in your back pocket.

For that reason, we’re splitting our tool summary right down the middle and offering our top three picks for both content discovery and publishing that content in a way that drives traffic. Before you check them out, you might want to make sure you're up to speed with popular social media and marketing tools like Buffer and Tweetdeck....

Content curation is the process of filtering through huge amounts of content from different online outlets to find the best content to share with your social media audience.  And it’s something that most of us do.

The following chart is taken from a survey conducted by Curata (content curation and content marketing platform), showing how businesses share curated content with their customers and prospects. As you can see, only 5% of those surveyed said that they never share curated content....

In this section I analyze the key Communication Skills that make up the profile of a professional content curator:

Imagine if an art museum contained every single painting created over a hundred-year period. It wouldn’t be much fun to visit, right? Hundreds of thousands of images, of wildly varying quality, without organization or context? It would be like a Google image search crossed with a garage sale.

Content curation is what turns a warehouse full of art and artifacts into a museum. A good curator sifts through the content to find pieces that are valuable for an intended audience. Their job is to direct attention to worthy content—and in doing so, make the museum a worthwhile place to visit.

Your blog readers and social media followers are drowning in content. You can be the content curator that helps direct their attention to what is most helpful, educational, or entertaining. Content curation, as part of your editorial strategy, can help make your blog a more valuable destination for your readers.

But the benefits go both ways; as you help your readers find great content, you’re helping your organization, too. Here are just a few ways curated content can help advance your marketing goals, and some of our favorite curating tools.

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes of a website. For instance, content creation, security and backup measures, constant updates, design overhauls, and even running an online business. However, your site visitors do not care how much is on your plate at any given time. That’s why many website owners have given in to the increasingly popular method of autoblogging.

In the past, we have shared with you how to automatically post content from one website to another, some of the best autoblogging plugins on the market today, and even how to build a complete autoblogging website from the ground up. However today, we are not going to go into the technical or step-by-step details of autoblogging. Instead, we are going to develop a better understanding of how you can curate and aggregate quality web content for your website using the popular WordPress autoblogging plugin WP RSS Aggregator.
