Five Ways To Profit From Public Domain Information

Ever wondered why Walt Disney never got sued for
intellectual property theft?

C’mon, the guy ripped off so many Hans Christian Anderson
and Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales! And he never paid the said
authors any royalty fees! Granted that they’re dead, but
shouldn’t their families be entitled to proceeds from their
works? Such would be a small price to pay, considering the
accumulated wealth of Walt Disney’s billion dollar
enterprise.

But alas, Mr. Walt Disney, you see, is a marketing genius.
He knew how to exploit the allowable usage of public domain
information, and he built for himself an empire in the
process.

And if Walt Disney can do it, so can you! After all, we all
have access to public domain information. We don’t even
need a touch of that famous Disney magic. We just have to
weave our own creative spin on things.

But first, the basics…

Public domain information is defined as any body of creative
works and other knowledge that is not protected by US
copyright laws. Copyright protection needs further
verification, but by force of statute, works done prior to
1923 are public domain information. The law also includes
works done prior to 1978, for as long as the life of the
author plus seventy years does not exceed the current year.

The term “body of creative works and other knowledge”
includes literary works, music, movies, artworks, scientific
ideas, and inventions, just to name a few. So, quite
literally, public domain information is an ocean of many
promises and splendid discoveries for anyone who would
decide to dip their feet in its inviting waters.

And public domain information is free. Everything that
you’ll earn from it is net profit!

Walt Disney made good use of public domain information by
updating old classics into movies for the new, during his
time at least, generation. That was the creative spin he
used to market works that are quite archaic to make them
seem new and fresh. He found his audience, and he made his
fortunes. There’s no reason why you can’t do it.

Ah, budget constraints you say. But we are internet
marketers, dear friend. That’s the beauty of the web, you
see. Seldom do we have to spend a substantial amount to
invest in something. Many avenues are available for us to
make good use of free public domain information!

Here are some ways to use public domain information. They
would surely earn you significant gains!

1.) Republish old literary works as eBooks. The classics you
see in bookstores are prime examples of earning from public
domain information. The publishers did not have to buy the
rights for the books they have decided to distribute. You
could do the same with eBooks. Search your local library for
old works, and scan them. Convert the images to text with a
text bridge program, edit errors, package them nice in .pdf
format, and you’re all set to market a royalty-free product!

2.) Republish old articles as special reports. Granted that
you’re not likely to find any internet marketing articles
circa 1923, but there are still some interesting pieces from
that era. Just the other day, I saw a person make 43 sales
for a special report he made out of a 1914 article on dog
grooming.

3.) Make downloadable albums of old songs. Here’s your
chance to make MP3 downloads that are actually legal.
However, please bear in mind that only the songs are free
game. The performances of certain versions (i.e. the London
Philharmonic Orchestra’s version of a Beethoven classic) are
separate copyrights in themselves. It would be best to make
your own version from the public domain compositions.

4.) Offer downloadable movies. Just like Walt Disney, Ted
Turner has made a killing with public domain information.
One of his channels, Turner Classics, shows pre-1923 movies
which he can re-broadcast without having to pay any
royalties. You could do the same by offering old movies for
download.

5.) Make posters of timeless masterpieces. You could also
search the web for high quality images of classic paintings
and sketches. These digitized masterpieces can easily be
reproduced as posters which you could sell to the millions
of art aficionados worldwide.
