Newbie question regarding duplicate content
Hi -
I'm new to the Warrior Forum and have an article writing question that I would appreciate some guidance on.
I'm very interested in freelance and PLR writing in the near future because I love to write. Making sure the article I write is technically unique content is something I'd like to learn a little more about. I'm not interested in any spinning software as I would want to write everything myself. So, for a specific example, let's say a future client asks for articles about a new diet of some type. I research it, find several books on it for ideas, as well as checking statistics, newsletters, magazine headlines, and check the diet forums etc. I jot down a bunch of notes, quotes, and facts in Notepad. So do I just reword my notes with synonyms and semi-personal insights and that technically makes my article unique? Since I'm really expounding on other people's research already done isn't that copying someone else's ideas? It's concerning to me. I know I can't use exact quotes or statistics, so what if I find some fantastic research somewhere that says, for example, "Over 5000 people have lost weight on this diet" - I can't use that statistic because it's someone else's and already used, right? Might be hard to reword that even though it's an intriguing stat. Lastly, does anyone know where I might find a Before and After example showing how someone took an online idea or piece of research and made it into unique content? Thanks in advance and I appreciate your patience with all my newbie questions
