T + T + F = curation

I figured out how to get at least 80% of my articles curated.

Studying my analytics recently, I stumbled across a pattern — a formula, if you will — that explains my approach.

Here’s the abbreviated version: T + T + F = Curation

Now I know that “formula” doesn’t mean anything to you yet, but that’s my mental shortcut for remembering it. Don’t worry, I’m going to completely explain it and break it down.

Curation is important but it’s not everything

Just because your article is curated, doesn’t mean that it will make you a lot of money or be successful by any other metric.

On the flip side, you can certainly make money with uncurated articles.

Long-term, curation does typically make you more money, though. When I look at my data, all of my highest earning articles are curated.

Curation can also indicate the quality of your article.

Not getting curated, however, doesn’t automatically mean that your article is bad or that your writing is subpar. Far from it. There are many variables that go into curation.
