I got this secret to tell you and get you off your chair. Like many other few have discovered public domain secret treasures. It’s a perfect business opportunity for internet entrepreneurs whether new or old.

Many people didn’t know that in the US law anyone is allow to distribute, resell or give away expired copyrighted content. It’s so called the public domain work. Recent years we can see a handful of marketers “borrowing” it to publish as instant product.

Let’s look into the detail here. Public domain refers to anything that is NOT protected under US copyright law. This includes all works published before 1923 and under certain conditions, works published up to 1978. A “work” can be anything, a book, movies, plays, songs, photographs, instruction manuals, posters, courses, reports, etc. You could take these works, repackage them and sell them for a profit. By using public domain content, all the hardwork on writting is already done for you. You just focus on selling.

Let me suggest 10 other different models which you can tap into public domain works.

Model 1: Resell

You can re-publish public domain content exactly as it is. Whether it’s a book, a movie or even music. You can take this content and quickly turn it into a product.  Just copy it as it is or rewrite it. Next, start promoting and selling it massively.

Model 2: Web Content

Grab the text of the public domain work which relates to a product you are selling or  promoting. Create web pages and include links back to your own product page.

Model 3: Repackage

Personally, I like this alot. You can repackage public domain work into a new product. You can use the same ideas to create new and better products. Many new books are actually public domain works rehashed.

Model 4: Multimedia

You can change the media from book into a CD or video series. What was once a “book” now become a complete home study course.

Model 5: Reprint Rights

People like reprint rights and it’s a quick and easy way to make money fast. You can sell reprint rights derivatived product created from the original public domain material.

Model 6: Upsell

Use public domain works to act as an entry point for upsell to your best selling product. Give your buyer a chance to do an immediate upgrade to their orders.

Model 7: Bonuses

Yes, give away free! People love bonuses and are more likely to buy a product just for the bonus.

Model 8: Viral Marketing

You can take parts of the book and turn it into a smaller viral e-report. Allow people to pass them or sell it away. Once you trigger the “virus” effect, it is impossible to make people stop.

Model 9: Google AdSense

Use material from public domain work to create information-rich website or blog. Place Google AdSense code on your site. Once someone click on thr ads on your site, you can start getting small checks every month.

Model 10: Mini e-Courses

Create mini-course that people can subscribe from your site. Just load a series of 5 to 7 articles into your autoresponders to allow it to deliver on auto-pilot. You’re collecting a list doing this model.
