good evening everybody
I am totally new to the whole thing, but making progress.
now I am at the step of writing my content, I decided not to steal the work of anybody.I want to do it legally.
I will start by building two sites, one of them will be about a health niche and the other is about a furniture niche.
Because I am a pharmacy student I will manage to write useful information for my health site, I will go to my school library ,do research and gather the most useful information, I will make a reference page containing books I will use.
The important part, I need to write content for my furniture site, consider I am writing an article about certain type of desks, is it legal to collect information from amazon's reviews for example for that type of desks?
or can I research the web for useful information and use it for my own favor?
If I'm not allowed to do that, how would it be possible to write my original content?
Is rewriting others' work illegal.
By logic, the web is my only resource of information for that furniture site, If I'm not allowed to use information from the web,from where can I get information ,and from where came these tons of sites?
I don't think that all marketers an article writers have bought the products in order to review it.
Is it legal to use the product buyers' reviews from amazon?
In amazon,they add people's experiments and reviews for products, are these reviews a property of amazon, and protected buy it's copy-writes?
hiring An article writer is not possible for now.
so what is the solution for me?
what are your thoughts?
please I need help.
Thanks in advance.

    To create something original and totally legal I would:
    1) Quote small to medium-sized sections (from the Amazon reviews for example), remembering to credit and link to the source.
    2) Both before, and / or after the quoted section, you can add a personal memory about unique, or truly comfortable furniture, then ask your readers a related question about their experience, etc.

    IMO, you can *not* easily break the laws, or get in any trouble, with this format.


    EDIT: Asking the readers a question very early on is a great way to keep their interest.

    There is a saying to which I can not contribute the source.

    But it's essentially this... It takes about 10,000 hours of practice to become really really good at something.

    So your best advice is simply to dig and and write, write, write. There is no law that says you can not read content and rewrite it. Rewriting is much different than copying. People use other peoples content for this purpose all the time. It's how we learn.

    Good luck.

      Very Good advice InternetMarketingIQ!!

      Another thought, is that you must use simple words, easy to understand. To be a good writer takes time, effort, perseverance, practice and PATIENCE. So this is a process to learn something new.

      great
      you mean:
      step1.read a lot and learn about something
      step2.the ideas and information you learned is now yours
      Is this right?
      The "It's how we learn" sentence reveals the whole thing.
      thank you nice people

    You have to be passionate about something in order to write really great "linkable king" content. If you're not, rewrite top articles that appear early in Google rankings.

    Best way to rewrite an article is to simply rearrange sentances and bullet points. Read it out load and say it again in your own words with different meanings etc. I can rewrite a 500 word article in 15 minutes and it's not exactly taxing on the brain after your 10th one.

    Yes perfectly legal! If it wasn't, there would only ever be only one television producer, one maker of cars, one brand of wine You get my point. Everyone does this and it's perfectly fine.

      Some people in this thread need to take a serious look at US copyright law. It is illegal to rewrite someone else's work - that is what is referred to as "creating a derivative work".

      Facts are not copyrightable, statistics would not be copyrightable. Use the facts and any statistics you find and then come up with your own unique take on the subject.

    But yes, sounds advice from Tina there - keep your behind covered!
