On Creating Original Material

     Well, it is true.  You can copy and paste to your heart's delight, stealing other people's stuff, and organizing it in such a way where it can be your unique way of doing it.
     Or, you can create your own content.
     Let's face it, there is a lot of stealing on the web, because people want to be liked.  They don't want to post things where people will think they are weird.  They want acceptance by their peers.
     But if you want to be able to make money on the web, you have to invent your own identity.
     You have to dig deep into yourself and find out what you really want to do.
     You also have to not care what other people think.  This can be scary at first.
     The road is tough for a long time when you try to do something original.
     However, the rewards are great.
     Trust me on this one.

     Or you can keep stealing other people's content, and be well-liked by everybody, but you won't be able to make money, unless of course you find a situation where you can.
     The jury is still out on what you can and can not do on the web.

     Also, being original takes a lot longer, which is why most people don't do it.

     The way I do it is both.  Sometimes I steal photos and things for videos and blogs, and sometimes I come up with content that is 100% my own.  That way, I can have the best of both worlds.

     Thanks for reading, and good luck.  It ain't easy no matter what you do.
