Scoop.it, the Perelman Premise and GOLD!

“Content is king, distribution is queen, and she wears the pants”.  ~ Jonathan Perelman, Veep of Agency Strategy at BuzzFeed.



Scoop.it works off the Perelman premise. 
~ You curate the content. 
~ They help you distribute it.

Scoop.it is a D.I.Y. content curation tool that helps you organize, publish and circulate content; including random content.  Launched in 2011 and within a year and a half, 75 million users had signed up.





Several years back, someone invited me to try Scoop.it - a content curation tool. In an effort to try to keep up with ever-changing information technology and because no fee was involved, decided it was a tool worth testing. My initial efforts resulted in the creation of three topics.

My first tests included using the interface to my blogs. If you publish a “scoop” or write a post at Scoop.it, you can share it to your blog simultaneously or at a later date. If you are on the Google Plus social network you can also share your content there also.


There is a free plan and an upgraded plan. With the upgrades, you can add more social accounts and/or blogs.


Must confess that my activity has been limited because other work-at-home projects which have been consuming my time and energy. But for the new year, decided to add Scoop.it as a priority task on my “To Do List” for 2016 and pick back up where I left off.  That turned out to be a good home business management decision. To my surprise, one of my topics has leveled up to GOLD!! It was quite a surprise when they gave me a silver ribbon. But GOLD??!! That type of recognition and support is very encouraging.




The Scoop.it content curation service has too many plusses to list, but here are a few you should consider:

+1) Links from the site are recognized by the search engines.

+2) The site owners have an informative blog loaded with tips and advice.

+2) It's a great sharing tool and also good for research.

+4) The interface to blogs or pages streamlines your work process and saves time.

Perleman's Content Strategy Tip : Gotta Respect the Queen

It's been around a few years but I haven't quite latched on to BuzzFeed craze (if it is a craze).  But it may be a powerful tool according to Jonathan Pereleman (head of BuzzFeed).  Besides, I like when people figure out a way to insert a Queen in the game plan.  😍


Although I don't know how to play chess, I do know the queen is the most powerful piece in the game of chess.  Somehow the idea of that is very appealing to me.  I can't explain why.  I'm not really a power-monger.  I believe it's because the queen is a woman that even though she's called "powerful", her power (or strength) is in her compassion and gentleness, like Queen Esther.  That's a generalization, of course.  Some women who get to reign can be real bloody heifers, like Jezebel and her daughter, Athaliah!

Regardless of whether or not you can understand my flawless logic, I'm sharing and keeping this video link for education and reference.
