From HR Web Cafe:Creating the Perfect Social Media Posts

“Want to improve your social media savvy? This handy infographic maps out guidelines, dimensions and optimal times for making the the ‘perfect’ social media posts on the most popular platforms: LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, YouTube, Pinterest, Vine, Google+, Instagram & Tumblr.”

Curation posts are one of the five basic kinds of blog posts.  They should be part of your toolkit because they let you demonstrate your expertise without much of the effort that goes into developing a think piece.

For most of the last month, Jerrod Morris and Demian Farnworth of Copyblogger have been publishing a four-part series about why you should consider curation and how to do it well. I’ve been waiting for them to complete the series so I could share it with you all at once. Each post includes a podcast and transcript.
