Disney
took what was already in the public domain and REPACKAGED
it into a brand new product ~ A cartoon feature-length movie,
that has been watched all over the world. He created a classic
out of public domain that is now loved by people of all ages.
Not
Just EBooks
I'm not
suggesting you go make a movie out of that public domain file
in your hard disk. (Well, you can if you want to).
What I
want you to see is the unlimited possibilities of working
with public domain content. Some people worry that, since
others have access to the same public domain content, there's
going to be too much competition. But think about this. What
you do with the content may be different from what I do with
it. That's known as a derivative work. And the new product
is 100% your own. You can even copyright it as your own!
You might
create an ebook with it. I might create a whole series of
ebooks with the same info! But someone else with knowledge
in mutimedia might create a video or an audio on CD. Someone
else might turn into an online training course. Exciting isn't
it? Even two websites utilizing the same content need not
necessarily be the same.
You can
also create special reports, manuals, newsletters, ezines,
training courses you can conduct via email or online.
Creating
a training course is an excellent way of using public domain
info. You string together half a dozen or more articles and
turn it into a 7-day course. People are online to learn. And
they'll sign up for your course. You can even charge your
readers a subscription fee to sign up for your course if you
like.
You could
also load your lessons in your autoresponder and anyone who
signs up will automatically receive one lesson a day. Much
like this one. You don't have to keep hitting the send button
everyday or worry if your readers are receiving their secheduled
lessons. Using an autoresponder, everthing is done for you
and you can focus on other aspects of your business.
A word
about making videos and audios. A 'how-to' guide is beyond
the scope of this lesson. But with the right hardware and
software, you could produce exciting multimedia products that
will be your very own. If you don't know anything about this
but have the time and interest, then learn. If not, find someone
who can do it and hire them to do the job for you.
I promised
a short lesson and I'll keep to my word. We'll take a break
today and I'll see you again tomorrow. As always if you have
any thing you'd like to ask or sugestions about what you'd
like to see covered in this course, email me at ofs@openforsale.com
These
past few lessons we have only been looking at public domain
information that is in text format. Tomorrow, in Lesson 6
- something totally different. Don't miss it!..
