Make Money
With Public Domain Works
Did you know there’s
thousands of works that you can just pick then sell, revamp,
or repackage to sell?
These works are all free for the taking and you can find
them in the public domain. You can easily make
money with public domain works because most of the work is
already done for you! These are great for putting together a
quick product to market to a specific
niche.

As you can see, anything published before 1923 is a safe
bet so I suggest you stick with these – it makes things much
less complicated.
Here are some places where
you can find thousands of public domain
works.
Some files in the websites are not in the public domain,
so please double check them before
using.

Another good idea is to
borrow books from your local library, or buy books published
before 1923.
You can search for these books at thrift stores, flea
markets, garage sales, and even
online.
Some good websites to
search for books are:
When you find a work that
interests you, make sure it doesn’t have a copyright by
searching for it online here: http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohd.html
.
You might also want to call the Copyright Office Research
Department at (202) 707-6850.
It costs about $20.00, but you can ask them for a
certified written report and have them estimate the cost for
you (it might come out to a little more or a little less than
$20.
When it comes to selling
your public domain works, again it’s all about your
ad.
Write to your customer as if you were a friend and have
info that they simply need to know
about.

The public domain is a
dream come true for information
sellers.
Make good use
of this resource – it's like free
money.
You can sell the
information just as you find it, but it's more profitable to
put together a package.

manual and some pictures, record an audio, and create a
checklist or mind map.
Packaging these together will allow you to charge about
500% more than an ebook, and you didn't have to work much
harder for it.
