“Content is king, distribution is queen, and she wears the pants”. ~ Jonathan Perelman, Veep of Agency Strategy at BuzzFeed.
Scoop.it works off the Perelman premise.
~ You curate the content.
~ They help you distribute it.
Scoop.it is a D.I.Y. content curation tool that helps you organize, publish and circulate content; including random content. Launched in 2011 and within a year and a half, 75 million users had signed up.
Several years back, someone invited me to try Scoop.it - a content curation tool. In an effort to try to keep up with ever-changing information technology and because no fee was involved, decided it was a tool worth testing. My initial efforts resulted in the creation of three topics.
My first tests included using the interface to my blogs. If you publish a “scoop” or write a post at Scoop.it, you can share it to your blog simultaneously or at a later date. If you are on the Google Plus social network you can also share your content there also.
There is a free plan and an upgraded plan. With the upgrades, you can add more social accounts and/or blogs.
Must confess that my activity has been limited because other work-at-home projects which have been consuming my time and energy. But for the new year, decided to add Scoop.it as a priority task on my “To Do List” for 2016 and pick back up where I left off. That turned out to be a good home business management decision. To my surprise, one of my topics has leveled up to GOLD!! It was quite a surprise when they gave me a silver ribbon. But GOLD??!! That type of recognition and support is very encouraging.
The Scoop.it content curation service has too many plusses to list, but here are a few you should consider:
+1) Links from the site are recognized by the search engines.
+2) It's a great sharing tool and also good for research.
