I have seen people taking inspiration by reading news, articles and stories of others but I have seen that people are copying information blatantly from others. But I am not sure whether it is justified to use information from other website and if it is justified how far it is justified.

When you copy, you miss the opportunity to use your own voice and express your own opinions. So often people copy simply because they lack the confidence to put themselves out there. The other reason people copy is to make money fast. Don't do it. In the end you'll make more by building your own business.

The exception here is affiliate marketing, where worthwhile information about a product may be available from the product owners and it can be more useful to use some of their material when you do a personal review of the product. Product owners often provide detailed information and sales copy based on knowledge you just won't have access to.

Cheers

copying the content is not at all justified. if one want to be a good and professional copywriter, then he should not copy others content. otherwise you will lack behind in the long run. smile.gif
