Content SelectionQuestions to ask yourself
Is it exclusive?
Is it relevant to our readers?
Is it something we are interested in?
Does it have potential to be shared? (Other sites, social networks, etc.)
![Page 6: NEPA BlogCon 2013 - Content Creation & Management](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5550a2c8b4c90590208b4da6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Quality vs. Quantity
It’s not important how many times you post.
Each story has a different shelf life (news vs. interviews).
Establish a voice.
