Content Curation & Newsjacking

[bashseo]

Greetings everyone! Its my first post, and I had a question in regards to content curation & newsjacking.  I tried to dig around the forum a bit prior to posting this, but havent really found much that covered this topic specifically, but I was wondering if there is anyone here who currently does this, and if so, are there any tips that you'd be willing to share with someone who's just getting into it?

Thanks

To be successful at newsjacking you need one of two things....

A) a powerful site that can toss second-rate content high into the SERPs

B) a brilliant mind that can come up with fantastic perspectives that everyone who reads them will want to share

"B" is the better path if you can do it because it enables you to build a following.

If you have either of those you might be more successful at specializing in the type of content that really interests you and that you can plan for rather than getting up everyday like a hungry vulture who has to find something in the news to scavange.

Now, if you are like Jay Leno and have a great team of writers and a great ability to present, then maybe you can do a really good job at newsjacking.

There is no substitute for hard work, resources and talent.
