An entire world of new opportunities are about to be opened... there are thousands of new, important and profitable works coming into the public domain each month and you can start profiting from them right now! If you ever wanted to start your own business with the lowest possible risk and the highest possible profits then you owe it to yourself to investigate re-packaging and re-publishing public domain information! Discover the incredibly low-risk and extremely profitable world of creating businesses from scratch using recently expired copyrighted works that are now in the public domain! There is a vast treasure of information and creative works such as movies, music, books, manuals, photographs, posters, and more that you can access at ZERO cost (NO royalties or copyright payment fees, EVER!) that you can resell for 100% profits... From: David Vallieres, Editor, The Public Domain Report and Lois M. Jeary, Owner, Home4Success RE: Profiting From Public Domain Information Dear Friend, I want to tell you a 100% true story about how a simple man with seemingly no ambition (and was constantly teased for too often 'day dreaming' while in school) created a business empire worth billions (yes, billions) using books that were in the "public domain". But first, if you're not familiar with the term "public domain" allow me to help give you at least a general idea of the legal and business power contained in these two words. At a very basic level, "public domain" means... ...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, a play, music, photographs, movies, instruction manuals, courses, reports, posters, etc... Re-publishing and re-packaging public domain information and other creative works can make you a lot of money. The reason is fairly simple: If you find, re-package and sell information that has fallen into the public domain you do not have to pay royalties or copyright fees on that work. Can you tell me about any other business that... ... you can resell over and over and keep 100% of the profits without paying a penny for the acquisition of it and not ONE CENT in royalties or copyright fees for its continued use? In any normal business start-up you will be required to provide a Tax ID number along with other documents and proof of your business registration just to be able to buy products for resale! Then, until you've had a chance to establish 'terms' with your wholesaler, you'll be required to pay cash, up front, for all your starting inventory. If you're buying widgets for $4.95 wholesale and selling them for $9.95 you must constantly re-invest that $4.95 in more widgets. In order to do a large trade in widgets you'll need a large inventory! Before you even open your business door you'll have to invest $50,000 to $100,000 in widgets and as soon as you sell one of them you have to take $4.95 out of that $9.95 sale and plunge that right back into buying more widgets! I call it the 'black hole' of retail business, because you will... ...constantly have up to $100,000 or more, depending on the type of business you operate, tied up in cold, hard inventory for as long as you are in business! Let's contrast this normal business start-up with one that is started using 100% FREE public domain information as their 'widget'. First, I should state clearly that there is not another business in the world that is more profitable than the 'information business' i.e. selling books, manuals, reports, photographs, posters, coupons, gift certifictaes, courses, etc...but... The biggest problem for most individuals who want to enter this enormously profitable business is that they have to either create their own information product or secure (by paying an up-front fee) the rights to sell someone else's product. Again, for most individuals 'creating their own information product is very hard to do... they can't write or don't like to write, they find it... ...difficult or impossible to even think about writing an entire book! If you love the idea of publishing information as a business model but you don't want to or can't create your own book or manual...what do you do? Let me give you another example. You find a deal where someone else will allow you to purchase a 're-sale' license to their book or manual. In most cases these 'rights' can be purchased inexpensively. The problem, of course, is that everyone else has discovered this secret and ... ...have purchased the rights to the same book you just bought and is selling it all over the Internet! Not only have you lost exclusivity, but in most cases the 'product' has been discounted to attract sales that there's no profit margin left in the sale of the book! On eBay ebooks are heavily discounted and sell for pennies. What profit is there in that? Now, you can also purchase rights that are much more expensive and exclusive... $900, $1,500 up to $15,000 or more for the 'rights' and, in many cases, you'll have to pay royalties on each sale payable quarterly to the copyright holder. This will certainly make your product more exclusive and sales will be better, however, you are still faced with enormous competition... because... ...the investment required to purchase these rights will have attracted the most dangerous competition of all... sophisticated marketers or as I like to call them, "players with money" Yes, these players are competing against you! Not good news if you're just starting out or want a good chance at making a lot of money with your 'reprint' right product. Like I said, let's contrast this business start-up with one that is started using 100% FREE public domain information as their 'widget'. First, securing the rights to public domain information will cost you nothing- they are 100% free to use! It may cost you a few dollars to 'buy' a used book or course you find in a used book store, but those costs are really minimal. Second, there are thousands of works to choose from in thousands of categories and since almost no one knows this kind of opportunity even exists... ... you will be able to dominate entire markets before your competition even knew what hit them! Third, since you do not have to purchase a large stockpile of inventory and you have no major competition you can spend your money where it matters most: creating marketing that makes you money! Why now? Why public domain information? First, there are books, courses, manuals and music and other creative works whose copyrights expire almost every day. These are all 'products' that are FREE for the taking, if you only knew how to find them and how to re-publish them! Second, the vast treasure of public domain information is growing daily and a very tiny, minuscule percentage of the business public even know that they can be used without permission, without cost and without royalties or fees or how to go about documenting that they are in the public domain to protect themselves. Third, it is absolutely the easiest way to start or expand an existing business with such low risk and such high profits ever in history! Your product is 'free' and when you sell it you keep 100% of the profits. If you ever see a better opportunity, please let me know! This is a massive opportunity that has been created with the recent copyright expiration of thousands of books, music, movies and other 'works' that have passed into the public domain in just the last few months and years, so... ...the time to act is now! What makes me an authority on the re-publishing and repackaging of public domain information? First, I am the owner of InfoProductLab.com and have been marketing information products (online and offline) since 1996 and I have written several books and reports on electronic publishing and Internet marketing. Second, I publish 3 books that contain 100% public domain information. These books cost me $13.50 when I bought them at a used book store. Since there are no royalties due to the authors, I get to keep 100% of the profits when I resell them. I scanned them into my computer and I sell them in 'hard-copy' format and as ebooks. These three books alone earn me thousands of dollars each year in profits- and the best part is I don't pay a penny in fees or royalties to anyone! After my marketing costs, the profits are staggering. Third, I use images that are in the public domain and re-packaged them as 'posters' and sell them to art gallery owners all over the world. The profits from that simple venture earn me what most would consider a 'full-time' income. I also have several other small ventures that generate a solid monthly income - all of them from public domain information. There are really no limits to the creative business ventures you can start with public domain treasure! And, since there are thousands of works in the public domain- they are simply 'there' - you don't have to do anything to create the information- they are just waiting to be re-published and... ...they are ALL FREE for the taking! So, they are 'free'... but how do you profit?? You can do exactly what I did... digitize the information, create an 'ebook' and sell it on the Internet, creat posters, etc.... One book I re-published is about "day trading", another book is on "mind reading" and another book is on "advertising and copywriting". As I mentioned, when you find a work that's in the public domain you can digitize it (with a scanner hooked up to your computer) you can have it published as a 'real book' and sell it on Amazon, or sell it as an ebook or even create a 'course' and publish it!!... the possibilities are endless and the profits staggering. Not every kind of work in the public domain will have a market but here are some examples of books you could be re-publishing that have an excellent market right now: Books on mind reading, thought transference, etc Books on marketing, advertising and copywriting Books on trading stocks and commodities Books on collecting: figurines, wedgwood, pottery, etc Books on hand writing analysis, palmistry and the occult Books on herb remedies and natural healing Children's books and stories (especially those with color illustrations) Posters (or images that can be turned into 'posters) of all kinds -the 'patriotic' ones are especially popular right now Radio shows, music and movies... and so much more! Not convinced yet? I started at the beginning of this letter to tell you about a rather un-ambitious fellow who built a billion dollar empire using works that had recently fallen into the public domain. He based his entire business on fairy tales that were popular in the early 1800's, The Grimm Fairy Tales.... can you guess who it is? It was Walt Disney. Yes, he knew that the Grimm Fairy Tales were wonderful stories and he also knew they were recently added to the treasure of 'public domain' works. He changed the names of some of the characters and 'modernized' them a bit, but essentially copied them and made a large fortune selling the stories to a new generation! Want another example? How about 'Turner Classic Movies' or TCM... the majority of the films on TCM are in the public domain, not all are, but most. Turner gets them at a very low cost and sells advertising on his station. Is he making a profit? Well if he wasn't do you think TCM would still be around? He is making a fortune just from the ad revenue! How about one more example?... I'll keep it short because by now your mind must be reeling with the possibilities! A woman received a book in the mail one day. The book was written by a man who had been dead nearly 90 years. She realized how wonderful the book was and started to implement the suggestions the book taught and her little home business doubled and then tripled in income from the advice! She 'scanned/digitized' the original book and converted it into an ebook. Then she created a web site and made the ebook available as a free download in exchange for their email address, which also subscribed them to her free newsletter. She has built an entire business around that one book that was in the public domain! She now has associates from over 111 countries who have requested a copy of her ebook and ... ...she has thousands of people on her mailing list who all wanted a copy of that ONE book! How does she profit? She sells a 'CD' version of the book and even created an 'audio- book'... she is succeeding because of that one book... imagine what you can do with the vast treasure chest of information in the public domain! She has an opt-in mailing list the size of which most Internet marketers would be envious of... I could give you many more examples... but you have my example: 3 books published and a poster business with thousands in profits in sales (re-publish model); how Walt Disney got his start (update or 'modernize' model); TCM (ad revenue model); and the ('free ebook to build a huge list' Internet model)...but... ...what if you find something you'd like to publish but are afraid to because someone might steal it? You have a right to be concerned... especially if someone who bought the work found out it was in the public domain. Couldn't they just copy it and sell it as there own?? The answer is... ... no!! They cannot do that... IF... ... if you follow my advice: I found a 100% legal way to prevent anyone from stealing your work (even if you got it in the public domain!) ... and if they do, you can take legal action against them just as if you were the original copyright holder!! Ok?? This ONE PIECE of information is worth thousands alone!! But... ...this is where I stop giving you freebies!
