A video curator has a knack for finding the gems in mountain of online video. Video curators watch hundreds of videos, gather the best video in playlists on YouTube or another website, and distributes the channel to a network of fans.

The best video curators have a keen interest in the subjects that their video channels cover. You'll find video curation channels focused on everything from skateboarding to kittens, fast cars to knitting.

Becoming a video curator is simple. All you have to do is sign up for a YouTube account, create a playlist of your favorite videos, and publish it to your video channel. Just like that, you're a video curator!

If you want more control over your video curation channel, create a video blog. This is a separate website you can use to display your curated videos, under your own design and branding. Use video SEO to build a fan base for your curated videos, and you could become the next tastemaker for your video subject.
