This is a video of all the pictures I have use in a blog I write about "how to pray". I have put it to the music of Blue Max Berries' "Raincheck Romance". What I wanted to show is the diversification of humans and nature. The simple vs. the complex, yet the simple is complexed in its self and the complexed is very simple. Enjoy.

The Public Domain "Yard Sale"

Have you ever had a problem with voles? They're little rodents, kind of like mice and they dig holes in your yard...not a good site for Yard Sale customers.

A couple years ago, we got overrun with them. I set traps outside and caught a couple
dozen of them in about two weeks. We haven't seen any since...which makes me VERY happy! My yard is happy too...so was the red-tailed hawk family that benefited from
the vole marketplace I set up for them back in the cornfield.

So what does this have to do with marketing? PLENTY! There are rodents out there just looking for places to dig holes...maybe they'll find YOUR yard...AKA your website...and start digging. A few weeks ago, I came across this guy's "Yard" and he was offering some pretty cool products that help you combat the holes in your marketing strategies to be more effective and profitable.

This marketing "Yard Sale" has become one of my favorite, WEEKLY destinations because the offerings are different every week. I've picked up some great
tools there for my own marketing toolbox and I think you could benefit from this site as well. Check it out at:

Turning Public Domain Content Into Pure Gold, Part 1
by Ramon Ross

Using Public Domain content to help build your online or offline business provides numerous opportunities for expanding your reach into virtually any niche market out there. It also can explode your income in ways that you may not even be considering.

Public Domain resources are available from nearly every primary media category including books, magazines, newspapers, government materials, photographs, artwork, movies, audio recordings, ephemera and software. In this series of articles, I take a look at each category and suggest ways to use those specific types of Public Domain content to expand your online or offline business.

Books
This category may very well be the largest of all the categories with over 85 million books available in the public domain. I have identified over 30 different ways to use or repurpose public domain content from books in to new products that could boost, enhance or compliment your online or offline business. Here are the first five.

• Republish content as-is in print form
You can easily republish public domain books into print for using print-on-demand technology. Scan the existing book pages to print as-is, or have the text transcribed or converted into text using OCR.

Example: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill has been republished dozens of times by different individuals and companies.

• Republish content as-is as a downloadable e-book
Republishing public domain books as e-books uses the same basic techniques used for producing print versions. Scan the existing book pages as-is, or have the text transcribed or converted into text using OCR.

Example: Gutenberg.org is an online leader in moving public domain books into electronic form.

• Republish content as-is along with other books on CD/DVD
If you have ever searched for books on eBay, you have no doubt seen collections of books for sale on CD. While some vendors offer thousands of books on one CD or DVD for a couple bucks, smart vendors are selling niche-driven collections for higher prices.

Example: B & R Samizdat is an excellent example of what can be done (and done well) with public domain book collections.

• Use content to develop Study Course with workbook
Why not take that favorite public domain book and write questions or exercises for the end of each chapter or for a separate workbook or study guide? This is an excellent way to breathe new life into a classic book.

Example: A number of public domain self-help books such as As a Man Thinketh by James Allen have been enhanced in this way with great success.

• Use portions of different books to create new thematic “collection” book
Using related or themed sections from a variety of public domain books is a great way to produce fresh, new materials for sale. By drawing from a number of titles, you increase the value of the collection and gain credibility from the “masters.”

Example: The book Great Speeches by Native Americans published by Dover Publications features a collection of speeches by Native American leaders that were excerpted from a variety of public domain books.

Turning Public Domain Content Into Pure Gold, Part 2
by Ramon Ross

As we stated in part one of this series, using Public Domain content to help build your online or offline business provides numerous opportunities for expanding your reach into virtually any niche market out there. It also can explode your income in ways that you may not even be considering. There are numerous ways to use or repurpose this material into products that will add to your bottom line.

In part one; I began discussing the first five ways you can use public domain books to develop new products. Here are the next five ideas:

• Update or rewrite material for new product
In can be much easier to write or develop a new book if you have an existing foundation and public domain books can provide that for you. You can use this method to create new products by:
a. Updating archaic or outdated language, facts or dates
b. Using the table of contents as an outline for developing your new book
c. Rewriting the existing text so that it reflects more of your own personality

Example: Sun Tsu’s Art of War has been rewritten into a number of excellent, updated new books, including The Art of War for the 21st Century by Dan Lok.

• Use content to develop a How-to Course
There are many classic “how-to” courses that are available in the public domain. I’ve found them on a wide variety of topics from how to speak in public to how to prepare a deer hide to make leather. Many of these can easily be updated for use as part of a high-end information product package.

Example: A number of individuals have used the book, The Master Key System by Charles Haanel as an excellent, modern-day how-to course.

• Book-based How-to Courses or Training Classes on DVD
In the last example, we talked about using classic public domain “how-to” courses to develop new, updated products. The best way to take this to the next level is with video. By videotaping the processes outlined in the “how-to” book, you add huge value to your new product. And with today’s digital technology, it is becoming simple to step up to this next level of product.

Example: I recently helped a friend who is a massage therapist take a classic book on Swedish Massage and develop it into an instruction video course.

• Use content to develop Mini-Course autoresponder
Finding and using a niche-focused public domain book as an autoresponder series on your webpage can be a great way to draw traffic to you site, add value to your message and build your mailing list. People love free stuff and using an excellent resource like a public domain book can add credibility to you and your product line.
Example: You could easily take a public domain book on horse grooming techniques and use each chapter as a new message in your “Horse Care” autoresponder series.

• Use content to develop Homeschooling curriculum or supplements
There is tremendous value for education to be found in many of the books currently in the public domain. While you will not find information on the latest fads or technologies, many books that were considered “ahead of their time” or just plain “out there” are now providing foundations for some of today’s hottest topics. There is also a high value in many of the more historically accurate accounts of the past, compared to many of the “overviews” used in today’s classrooms.

Example: A quick trip to an educational store will show you the value and growing use of public domain books in the education marketplace—especially when it comes to classic literature and historical texts.

Turning Public Domain Content Into Pure Gold, Part 3
by Ramon Ross

We have established that using Public Domain content to help build your online or offline business provides numerous opportunities for expanding your reach into virtually any niche market out there. It also can explode your income in ways that you may not even be considering. There are numerous ways to use or repurpose this material into products that will add to your bottom line.

In this series, we have examined 10 ways you can use public domain books to develop new products. Here are five more ideas:

• Use excerpts to make Quotes book
Quotes are a quick and powerful way to make or validate a point on your website, in your book, when you speak, etc. Having a collection of niche-related quotes can make for an extremely valuable and profitable resource, especially because it saves time and effort for the researcher. The Public Domain is a fantastic resource for not only making your own collection of quotes, but also for rediscovering some powerful quote collections from the past.

Example: The self-help and business markets have seen (and have taken advantage of) the benefit of using quotes. Here is a great example I used in “The Public Domain Code Book”… “Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.” —Henry David Thoreau

• Record reading as an audio book
Using audio is a powerful way to create new products and caters to the busy lifestyle that describes many people. By reading your favorite Public Domain books, you are creating a higher value resource than by just offering the book alone. Then, you can offer the files as podcasts, as downloadable MP3s or as audio CDs…or all the above. If you have a computer and a microphone, you’re set.

Example: Take the Public Domain books you are already selling and record them to use as an upsell or as a new audio-based membership site.

• Use content as e-zine articles
It can be extremely challenging to write new content on an ongoing basis for your e-zine. Public Domain content makes for an excellent supplement to your existing or original content. You can also us the content to submit to article sites to help drive traffic back to your primary sales page..

Example: The US Government offers millions of pages of content (all in the Public Domain) that would make for excellent additions to your e-zine on a broad variety of topics including real estate, health, credit and debt help and other hot topics.

• Use content for blog postings
How many of you have all the time in the world to write ongoing, fresh content for your blog. Imagine drawing from a relevant Public Domain resource, then copying and pasting a few paragraphs at a time to provide your readers with the content they’re looking for. Public Domain books also make an excellent resource for those of you building “blogging empires” for Adsense revenue.

Example: How about taking a Public Domain recipe book and posting a new recipe every day from it on your cooking blog? This would be a great way to discover and provide fresh, “new” dishes for your readers to try on their own. Plus it builds your blog as the source for great recipes (or craft ideas, tax tips, real estate tricks, pet care ideas, success insights, etc.).

• Use excerpts along with images or video to create viral movies
With the growing popularity of YouTube, Google Video and other video-share sites, the opportunities are nearly endless what can be done with Public Domain in this media. Use clips from Public Domain movies or documentaries, photographs, quotes, poems, etc. to make your own viral video to get traffic to your site.

Example: One of the best examples I’ve seen of using Public Domain content in viral movies is Morgan Westerman’s “The Interview With God” (www.theinterviewwithgod.com) video. Based on a Public Domain poem, Morgan’s flash movie generated over a million visitors to his site and spawned an entire product line. Brilliant!

The Public Domain and "Monkey See, Monkey Do"

Tip! Using related or themed sections from a variety of public domain books is a great way to produce fresh, new materials for sale.

As a Public Domain researcher, determining whether or not a book, image, audio or video resource is in the Public Domain can be a daunting task, unless your best friend happens to be a copyright lawyer. I have discovered some secret ways to "allow" others to do some of that copyright research for you, at no cost to you. Now, I am not a lawyer (and do not play one on TV), so I do not offer this information to you as legal advice, but this approach has saved me a lot of time and effort and has proven extremely valuable in my own Public Domain research. Here is the "secret" strategy: Discover what other information publishers are already selling, then obtain your own copy and sell the same thing. Monkey see, monkey do. Here's what I mean

I'm sure most of you have heard of Dover Publications. I doubt that there is any company who has developed and utilized Public Domain content more than Dover Publications. Let's say you see that Dover has republished an older publication that would fit well within your niche market. Chances are very likely that since they are publishing it, they've already done the copyright research to determine that the resource is indeed in the Public Domain (as a matter of fact, I'm quite certain they've done that research). Now that DOESN'T mean that you can order a copy of Dover's product and then reproduce it for your own purposes. They have their own version copyrighted or protected by license. What it DOES mean, however, is that you can locate your own original copy of the resource and develop it with some confidence that it is copyright-free. I always say that you cannot look for something that you do not know exists. Researching Dover's database (also know as their catalogs) helps you "find" those gems, of which you were previously unaware.

Here are a couple websites that demonstrate the power of this "secret":

http://ayerpub.com/CategoryPage.asp

http://www.euriskodata.com

http://www.higginsonbooks.com/index.html

To maximize your research results using these types of websites, be sure to:

1. Take a look at the products they are selling. Many of these are based on Public Domain resources, and in some cases, might even be exact reprints. The products they offer will give you a good idea of just what is available...think about it...there is a reason why THEY are selling it, right?! And it certainly aids in your quest to have actual titles for the books that fit your niche.

2. Pay attention to the information they offer about the books or products they are selling. This is the same information you can use to locate your own copy. Often they will include the title, author, year of original publication and more. Armed with that information, you can head over to Abebooks or Alibris and search for the book there. You can even plug the info into your favorite search engine. Who knows, the book may turn up being online. Remember, there are 85 million Public Domain books out there.

Tip! There are many classic "how-to" courses that are available in the public domain. I've found them on a wide variety of topics from how to speak in public to how to prepare a deer hide to make leather.

3. Use their resources as a bibliography to discover obscure titles by authors that may not be listed anywhere else. In some cases, you may discover a complete listing of titles by your author on these sites. Use this list as your own checklist to find the books that will best serve your niche through Ebay, Abebooks, local used bookstores or libraries (or one of many other online or offline places).

Whatever you do, do NOT underestimate the value of this type of Public Domain research. Many of my own greatest Public Domain discoveries were made at some of these types of sites. Take time to get to know these types of websites - research them. You just might strike gold!

The Public Domain Code Book

Get your share of 85 million…

Hey Eveyone,

Many marketers have an amazing ability to churn out successful product after successful product. But did you know that very often, those “successful products” only account for a small percentage of their true income. The real money is in the secret strategies they never talk about. If the marketing experts DO allude to these strategies they rarely tell you how to use them effectively. As a result, marketing success often takes on the appearance of illusive “magic” and only THEY know the trick. But you know…magic is only magic until you know the secret, and I have found a “nobody” who has uncovered one of those secrets.

Tony Laidig, a graphic artist who has been quietly working behind the scenes in the publishing industry for years, has “cracked the code” to finding amazing Public Domain content. The reason this is so important is that there are literally over 85 million books in the Public Domain…85 million!! I was blown away by the amount of information Tony has amassed about the Public Domain (and a bit frustrated that he’s telling so much). His new product, “The Public Domain Code Book” is a serious goldmine for creating information products and could very well cause a gold rush stampede into the mostly unknown Public Domain treasure fields.

Most successful marketers are using Public Domain content somewhere in their business. I suggest you do the same, and Tony finally makes it easy to do so. I have my copy of his product and wouldn’t give it up for anything, and if you’re smart, you would rush to get your copy as well. Just click the link below, NOW!!

Would I buy from a nobody? You bet!

Hey Everyone,

I’m discovering more and more that there are behind-the-scenes “nobodies” that are creating incredible products and using them to make their fortunes without all the glory or fame. Well, I just found out about one such “nobody”, and the product he has created is going to really make some waves.
