Good to know, thanks for sharing!

It is called 'Branding'! You may cover the same things as others have, just like ALL of us have (there may be a few exceptions, don't beat me up, people!), but putting into your own words makes it yours.

You may have heard of PLR (Private License rights - there are other names)? These are articles, blogs and other material, including e-books that are already written for you. They cost very little, usually, or free.

You get the right \s to use them in varui\ious ways. You just have to make them different than they were because Google (Bing, Yahoo, etc,..) does not like duplicate material.

You can treat these little snippets you get from other sites like this - as long as it does not look or even feel like the original...

Take a look at one of my pages..

You've made a great point here too - that although you may be covering similar material, your take on it will always be different. That's one reason why even if there are a bunch of other blogs on a topic, yours can still do well.
