It is difficult to know what is allowed when current technology, especially in the area of online technology, is so new and has presented so many new possibilities. One of the difficulties when it comes to business blogging is copyright. What happens when you see a video clip on YouTube and you decide to use it as well? That could be a problem.

Giving credit where credit is due

Until online copyright gets hashed out, a good rule of thumb for your business blog is to make sure that you give credit where it is due. When using others’ ideas, provide a link. And make sure that you avoid plagiarism at all costs. When it comes to images and video, it is a good idea to get actual permission when in doubt. Good business blogging means good practices.
