In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains why curating content in today's era of too much digital content can position you as an authority—and a hero—to your clients, prospects, and other target audiences.

In addition, according to Wayne, curating content also has these benefits:

1. Curating content forces you to stay abreast of what's going on in the worlds of your clients, prospects, and target audiences. It also allows you to issue spot for them.

2. It takes less time to curate content than it does to create content.

3. Curated content gives you a non-salesy way to get your content in front of your audience.

4. Curating content can provide inspiration for your future content.

Practice Pointer: How NOT to write a "Year in Review" thought leadership article

In this episode, Wayne Pollock (Founder of the Law Firm Editorial Service) explains how his approach to posting content on LinkedIn has changed thanks to choosing to be notified every time certain people with large followings post on the platform.

According to Wayne, being notified when these people post:

1. Helps him reverse engineer both successful and unsuccessful posts;

2. Inspires him regarding the substance of his posts;

3. Inspires him regarding the formats of his posts; and

4. Reminds him that not every post, even from LinkedIn "experts,"  is going to be "a banger."
