Curate Content Fast With These Sites
Coming up with ideas to write about is easy at first. As time goes on though you start to get a little flat. Here are a few ways to share content without having to write it yourself (almost).
On a good day, it takes me 15-minutes to go through each site and post (or schedule) content to various social sites.
1. Vine.co No longer Active
Find something funny, cute, or helpful and share it
2. Pinterest.com
Find a recipe, helpful tip, or quote from the Popular category and Embed onto your site
3. Youtube.com
Look up your topic and find a video under 3minutes to share (embed) ex. Music, tip, how to, funny, or fun fact
4. Mashable.com
Look for a popular (trending) story that fits your audience (doesn’t need to be niche specific)

6. MemeCreator.com or MemeGenerator.com
