Duplicate content

I’ve tried doing some research on the subject but I’m getting conflicting opinions and answers. Also, haven’t seen an example scenario exactly like mine yet. So here it is.

I have a small niche website with a couple freelance content writers. These writers, and actually many people in my niche, have their own personal blogs. I do not allow them to post any of the content they write for me on their personal blogs, but they have approached me wondering if I wanted to put some of the content they wrote for their own blogs on my website.

This got me thinking of separating my website into a more free-form blog where approved bloggers in my niche can write about anything related to the niche with little to no oversight from me. Of course I wouldn’t pay them for this.

Then I would still have my paid content that would be specially chosen through keyword searches and competitor analysis, for my freelance writers.

Now if I did this, and people posted duplicate blog content from their own personal blogs onto my website. Would this negatively effect my rankings as a whole?

I’ve seen answers ranging from “definitely” to “not at all” to everything in between. So I guess I just want to hear what y’all have to say.
