Be A Curator

Would you like to learn more about content curation? Curation is the future of the Internet and will lead to a great collective intelligence online. Curation is happening every day. When you share a tweet, a Facebook post, Google Plus one something or Pin something you are practicing curation. You are recommending content to others. The trouble is by doing these things alone you will not develop meaningful relationships.
Let me explain, you see by doing these things, yes you can eventually perhaps garner big numbers but be honest, how many of these friends and followers are people you are truly connected with and truly understand who you are and vice versa.

I will show you how to leverage your time and teach you the real art of curation. Simply by finding and sharing content “really good content” I will show you how to develop a long lasting and highly beneficial network of loyal followers and show you why it’s more important to pursue quality in life and not just quantity online.

Ready to take action! Of course the best part of being a content curator is it’s tons of fun and you will learn quite a bit. So how do you get started.

Post on Internet Billboards

Posting your content on our site helps you gain market recognition, brand awareness, and increased exposure. Our unique combination of curation and original in depth articles from experts and enthusiasts like yourself coupled with our unique sharing and social media strategy, will help you reach a much larger audience than you might be able to reach on your own.

We help our curators and publishers by providing a community that appreciates great content and builds access to larger and larger promotional channels, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google Plus to name a few.
All the content on this site is contributed by our many professional members as well as our editors. Every post is moderated and checked for quality assurance. This means you are in excellent company. Also because Internet Billboards is building on the social graph as well as our large interest graph we have many topics to choose from and something for everyone and can help you make many meaningful connections within our community. Bottom line though again is that all of the content is moderated. That means that nothing submitted is published until it has been reviewed and approved by our editors.

There are two ways to submit your articles or content curation. The first way is to create posts directly on this site to be published here exclusively. Exclusive posts that meet our standard of quality get preferential treatment in terms of promotion and page position. Alternatively, you can set up your account to take in posts from the RSS feed of your own blog. Whichever method you choose, please review the terms of use for contributed content.

Step 1: Sign up and Log in to our site

In order to publish posts on our site, you’ll need to have an active account here. If you have an account on this site log in here. If not, sign up here. Once you complete your registration and enter your activation code you will be able to log in.

Step 2: Fill out your profile

We provide you a nice author bio box which will give you increased exposure and allow you to put all of your social media links in to your profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, your website etc, fill them out and place a picture so we can see the face behind the publish posts and curation. Believe me it makes a huge difference.

When you first log in I would recommend changing your auto generated password to something you will easily remember, your profile is on that page so take the time to update your profile.

Step 3: Add content to the site

There are two ways to submit your content to our site: automatically through a valid RSS or Atom blog feed or manually on the site.
Step 3a: Add your existing blog feed

The main benefit to adding your content to our site via a feed is that each post automatically comes into our system to be reviewed by our editorial team. A few things to keep in mind before you add your feed:

Your feed needs to provide the complete text of your blog posts in order to be published. Summary feeds will be removed from the system, unless you have curated the content from another source.
Incoming feeds can only be attributed to one author. If your feed is a group feed or will have guest posts, they will all be attributed to the user account that added the feed. Consider splitting your feed using Yahoo Pipes or a similar service.
Incoming posts and curation from feeds are not published automatically, only added to our moderation queue. Feeds that continually provide off-topic posts will be removed without notice.

Step 3b: Add posts to our system manually

We love to partner with curators and publishers who provide exclusive content to us by posting directly on our site. The benefits for publishers and curators include:

Access to our large audience
Increased visibility and recognition
Promotion through our network
Increased awareness within your niche

Be aware that material posted directly to our site is moderated for quality just like all the submissions we receive. We encourage anyone interested in posting directly on our site to log in and read the welcome message for some additional rules of the road and a welcome message to help you get started on Internet Billboards.
