Using other people's content

Sometimes it happens that, while surfing the web, you find some content that someone else has written, which you feel is worthwhile to share with your own readers as well. So what do you do? Can you just use that other person’s content outright? If you are able to get appropriate permission from the person who owns the copyright to that content, then yes, you can.

Another way to share such content with your readers is by providing a link to the respective page. This often makes for time saving, as you don’t have to write the content yourself, but you are still sharing information with your readers and not leaving them neglected. It also makes you come across as the person who's screening the entire realm of knowledge in your field, and then picking and choosing a select few to share with your audience. In other words, you can be perceived as an expert and a trusted resource in this manner.
