Hey @tacostate, one way to remove yourself from stating "I create original content", keep in mind that Steemit is growing every day, new Steemians/investors/players/etc are joining the platform and everything what they see is "new". By verifying yourself and creating a strong brand identity, (which means you will need a professional website) you can create a strong audience that knows you only publish original content.
Hope this helped you out.
