TL;DR: Steal the angle, never the funnel. Find competitors who are clearly profitable (old running ads, ranking money pages), reverse engineer WHY they work, then build your own version. Copying their exact creative or article just puts you at the back of the line with none of their data.
Thats why spying on competitors is the fastest way to skip the learning curve, but only if you look at the right stuff with the right tools. Most people open a spy tool, glance at two ads, copy them, and wonder why it flops.
logic here is very simple. A competitor spending real money already ran the tests you'd otherwise pay to run. They burned the bad angles, killed the weak creatives, and landed on what works, all on their own dime. Your job is to read the answer off the page, not repeat the whole experiment. I'll use one niche the whole way down, a posture / back support product, and look at the same competition twice: once through SEO, once through social.
