posting same text/article on different sites?

Let's say have a text-based website, fiction, articles or a blog where you post original content written by you, and you want to advertise on other website. Will you be penalized for posting the same article on other forums, social media platforms and so on? I'm not talking about spamming but maybe 3-5 other websites excluding yours.

Penalized - no.

But Google will value the pages less since it's not unique. And even worse, if you post the text on sites that are way stronger than yours, they might outrank you (I've seen this happen).

I would ask ChatGPT to rewrite the articles to make them unique.

Prompt:
“Rewrite the following article to be unique while keeping the core message, tone, and style consistent. The goal is to post it on other websites or forums without triggering duplicate content issues. Avoid obvious synonyms and surface-level rewrites—aim for meaningful restructuring and rephrasing. Make it sound like a fresh take written from scratch, but with the same key points and intent.”

If possible make sure that all articles you post on other websites are linking directly to the original one.
