5) Never use copyrighted materials such as photos and articles. This is plagiarism, and you may get into a lot of trouble for this. You can lose your business and get sued over copyright infringement. If you do not have the time to write your own articles, you can out source the writing for a reasonable fee. All your investment in creating and publishing articles will be well worth it when you see your list build and your traffic increasing.
