I downloaded everything back around Christmas time, and didn't have any problems with it.

Here's an update to my case study that I'm doing.

I just finished pass #2 through the book. All of the formatting is good now, and it's almost ready to go. I want to go through it again and see if there are any more fixes I need to do with it, but it's REALLY close to being done.

Oh, and I need to fix any page numbers that are mentioned in the book. For example, page 42 in the old book doesn't match page 42 in my book. I need to get any of those references fixed.

Enquirer · 01-17-2009, 10:31 PM

Very inspiring and a great thread, Kneb. Thanks. This and other threads on this site have shown me a way to plan a route to online success.

I've only read the first page of this thread and don't have time today to read any more. I don't know if this has been brought up before but, at the risk of repeating what someone else has said, I think it's important to point something out. Someone from the UK might do something in error before I have time to read the whole thread.

With public domain content there could be some confusion for people in the UK when using works published in the US. If a book was also published in the UK it is still under copyright until the end of the 70th year after the author's death. Make it 71 years to be sure. If an American (or any other nationality) published a book in the US before 1923, it should now be in the public domain. If it was also published in the UK, it might not be in the public domain the UK. If the author died in, say, 1950 it will still be under copyright in the UK.

I don't know how the internet affects all this because if a UK citizen used that book for monetary gain it could be seen as breach of copyright. Possibly unless they could prove that the version they were using was from the US publication - or they only sold to people in the US. But even then I'm not sure if it would be out of copyright in the UK.

I suppose the best way to avoid any problems in the UK will be to concentrate on US government publications or books published by authors who died more than 70 years ago.

There could be similar confusion in other countries that have different copyright laws. So make sure you check in your own country.

tj · 01-17-2009, 10:57 PM

Enquirer, the whole post is here about public domain regulations regarding to the USA. Other countries have more complicated rules than the USA, i.e. that the information from the government is not in the public domain and they copyright their information.

If we use an ebook from say gutenburg will we get a duplicate content penalty from google/yahoo? Just curious, great method thanks.

Wow great post! I myself am new to all this and a post like yours is really encouraging. Thanks Kneb.

1- The easiest way to find PD content "not-yet-indexed" is just to get a (physical) used copy of the book. There are millions and millions of PD books out there. Where? As I said earlier in this thread, the first place to go to get it for free is at Worldcat.org (find my exact post about this, above).

The 2nd option is to purchase that book at used online bookstores (for as low as $3).

2- Then you just have to transcribe the book, or OCR it.

3- The other way is to grab the parts you like from the PD book (online or not), and use those parts to craft your articles.

Let´s say that you extract just 1 article per chapter... That´s a lot of articles from just one book.

Then you can modify it a bit here and there, add some intros, present the content in a different way (as a to-do list, or as a list), and you have new fresh content.

4- If you hate writting, even some phrases here and there, you can always outsource the rewritting part, for just $1/$2 per article.

This is one of the best options and it´s way cheaper than outsource the entire article from scratch, for $10/$15 per article.

And this is way better than any PLR article you can purchase or get.

You can just add your own keywords throughout the articles, for SEO and traffic purposes.

Again, good content is good content, and the rewriting will change the order of phrases and some words, but the (great) content will still be there after that.

This will save you time and money, but, most important, this will give you killer content for your blog or site or newsletter or video or...whatever.

Take in consideration that Public Domain content was written by great authors (just the opposite to PLR content), and is already researched, and well written, with great content.

I not only use PD content because is free... That´s the less important part, if you ask me.

The main advantage is that PD content is (most of the time) killer content...

Real Case study:

- I recently sold a great blog on the "play piano" niche.

- What I did is to find 2 good PD bestselling books on the subject. One was physically purchased, and the other one was in an online repository.

- Then I just OCRed the text from the physical book, to have it in a digital format, where I can copy and paste.

- So I started by extracting the best content in each chapter. ne paragraph here, one phrase there, etc...

- I did the same with the other book.

- I came up with more than 40 articles of killer content.

- I added some intros and outros here and there, to improve some of them a bit.

- Then I purchased the domain name and chose a killer (HQ) Wordress theme.

- I setup the Wordpress blog (well, I ask one of my team members to set it up for me), adding all the possible monetization venues (adsense, amazon, clickbank, CJ, etc)...

- I add some PD related video clips to the blog also.

- I add some nice PD pics too.

- I add some remaining articles not included in the blog, t submit to article directories, and to use with Squido and Hub pages, all linked to the main blog.

- I add an Optin box to the blog, static intro page.

- And I even add a pdf report filled with step-by-step how-to content (yes, from the same original PD books), that people can download for free after the optin.

Voilá... A great money-maker ready-to-use-and-profit-from blog (people love this)

* Time spent: 3 hours

* Money spent: $9 for the domain + $6 for the PD book

* Blog Sold 4 days later for $589

A very easy thing to do, but that´s just ONE of the many many ways you can use PD content for big profits (no matter if the content is already indexed or not, because you can easily overcome that, as I explained above).

For point 4, anyone can advise how to find writer that helps rewriting article for $1 to $2? I always pay someone to rewrite article for $10 to $15 per piece. Not cheap. If I can find someone who can work this out for only$1 to $2, that is great!

Can anyone throw me some lights on this?

I figure that in about 2 weeks, I should be able to have the book uploaded to Amazon. At that time, I will also upload it to Kindle, as well as starting the blog posting.

Hey Bishop,

There is this cool utility which automatically removes the line breaks for you. And does many more things too -

*************** Here is the info on what it can do
How often have you needed to extract text from your emails, only tofind the simple, menial task to take more time than it should. You'll
have many '>' characters appearing at the beginning of lines because
your email has been replied to, back and forth, countless number of
times. Often, you'll also need to painstakingly reformat the text to
make it appear readable.

Now with Clippy, you'll be able to remove '>' characters and reformat
your text with a single click of a button.

But why stop there? You can re-align the '>' characters that have been
concatenated into a single line; Strip HTML tags; Convert the case of
letters; Remove line breaks; Count the number of lines and words; And
more.

Clippy works by taking the text that you have copied to the clipboard,
sending the text through it's conversion engine and pushing the
reformatted text to the clipboard.

Built-in to Clippy are a number of operations. Each operation performs
a single, pre-defined function, such as remove line breaks, remove '>'
characters and convert spaces to tabs. You can think of operations as
your basic building blocks.

The power of Clippy comes from the ability to group one or more
operations together to perform a complete task called a clipper. When
you run a clipper, all the operations assigned to it will be perform on
the text in the clipboard, in the order that was specified. They act
like one seamless task.

Clippy comes with four pre-defined clippers:
- Unquote, remove linebreaks: removes email quote characters and
reformats each paragraph.
- Align quotes: vertically align email quote characters
- Strip HTML, remove linebreaks: removes all HTML tags and converts
some character entities, and removes linebreaks. Thus leaving just
the text of the HTML document.
- Reformat paragraph: reflows paragraphs.

I'm from Germany and the copyright laws here are nearly the same as yours, meaning a work is generally in the public domain 70 years after the death of the author, regardless if it's considered public domain material in the US or not.

But what about US government publications? Does this rule apply here too, meaning that I may only use those publications 70 years after the author's death?

Would be nice if someone could please shed some light on this if possible. I think such publications could build a good basis to start some nice new projects from!

Damen, you will get what you pay for ... if you're searching "quality" work for $1 then you will get the same kind of quality. I don't know if you can imagine how much work it is to rewrite content.

I read the whole thread and I know that many things were already said about governmental publications, but most of it was mainly focused on US copyright alone. I just want to make sure to stay on the legal side while using any PD works, because german copyright laws are by far more complex than those from the US.

Anyway, Timo was kind enough to put an answer to my question in some nice and easy to understand words. Thanks Timo and Viele Grüße!

Timo

I just found an interesting post regarding my concerns, check this link [http]blog.librarylaw.com/librarylaw/2004/09/copyright_in_go.html (damn, I definitely have to increase my post count for those nice hyperlinks).

Somewhere within the comments the following is stated (from a mail from the US Copyright Office):

"[...]In regards to works of the U.S. Government in the PD in the U.S. (part of the Library collections or not): neither the Copyright Office nor the Library of Congress can ensure or otherwise guarantee that foreign users of images in the Public Domain in the U.S. will not be litigated against by Federal Agencies in the U.S. You would need to contact these agencies individually to determine if indeed they will not seek to enforce their rights abroad.[...]"

An entry regarding copyright on publications from the US government on Wikipedia states:

"[...]Die Gemeinfreiheit besteht grundsätzlich nur innerhalb der USA, wie ein Senat-Report von 1976 klargestellt hat. Allerdings kann man davon ausgehen, dass fast alle betroffenen Regierungsbehörden die Nutzung außerhalb der USA dulden. Beispielsweise hat die FWS Image Library 2004 ausdrücklich erklärt, dass ihre Bilder weltweit frei genutzt werden könnten. Andererseits ist von der Library of Congress bekannt, dass bestimmte Produkte mit einem Rechtevorbehalt außerhalb der USA versehen sind.[...]"

"[...]Public domain only exists within the U.S., as a Senate report of 1976 made clear. However, one can assume that almost all concerned government agencies tolerate the use outside the United States. For example, the FWS Image Library 2004 explicitly stated that their images could be used freely around the world. On the other side the Library of Congress announced that certain products are reserved with rights outside the U.S..[...]"

You see, it isn't as easy as it first sounds...unfortunately.

PS: Will take a look at your offer!

Please, let me know

Kneb,

Hi. I'm new to the forum, and I guess like a lot of others have spent ages digesting lots of information before making their first post.

I bought your PDS guide and am really pleased with the artistry and resources. I have plenty of ideas, and would be interested in obtaining some coaching, but am not allowed to PM you as I don't have enough posts in yet.

In respect of what coaching I would benefit from (your points above), I would like to learn, and also identify useful tools to achieve a specific end.

For example, If I identified a work of art that I wanted to obtain the image for, What do i do? What are the technical things I need to know (image formats, file types etc) to enable me to get that converted into a poster, a picture or whatever. Can I do this by print on demand? Which suppliers have you used that are reliable and produce good quality products. These are some of the things that I'd appreciate learning in the coaching.

Regards

absolutelee · 01-18-2009, 10:13 PM

Hi Kneb, and everyone else!

I bought this WSO a week or so ago. I've already more than got my money out of it.

I flip websites, and one of my issues has always been how to find great content. I knew about the public domain, but had never been able to put public domain stuff together with my website flipping.

Well, Kneb's book solved this problem for me. Actually about three pages out of the book did. Among a ton of other great stuff, Kneb has a section that covers government search engines that lead you right to public domain content on any of thousands of topics. I've started using that content in my websites. It's cut a few hours of research out of the making of each website, and also provided me with great, keyword rich content.

That's not all that's in the book. Actually, you could take this book and make it the cornerstone of a whole internet marketing career. I've already read the book twice. (The first time, I read the book in one sitting.) I'm now reading the book for the third time.

I actually posted this reply to Kneb's comments on his WSO.

Here's the thread in case anyone's interested:

If a work was never published in the UK or an EU country, then the copyright law in country where the work was published applies. So if something was published in the US, never published in the UK or EU, and has gone into the Public Domain in the US, it will be in the Public Domain in the UK, too.

But, if the work was published in the UK or EU during the time its foreign copyright was valid, then UK copyright law will apply, even if that work lapses into the Public Domain in its original country.

The best advice I was given regarding this issue was to post Public Domain content on a web server based in the US, have any transactions processed by a US based processor (e.g. ClickBank), and have the price in Dollars. That way, your content doesn't leave the US, and is always subject to US jurisdiction. The fact that you are a UK citizen doesn't enter into it.

ClickBank (and 2Checkout.com) are re-retailers, so technically they're selling the product, not you. I presume the same would go for Amazon.com, but you would be well advised to stay away from Amazon.co.uk, just to be on the safe side. If you create a physical product, it would be a good idea to have it duplicated and dispatched by a US based fulfilment house.

Hi Kneb,

Here are my suggestions for the coaching:

1) How to turn PD into usable content: basically teach how to grab a pd book at what you can do with it (articles for your blog, for ezines, squidoo lenses, ebooks, free reports, what else?);

2) I vote for the idea of "X Ways to Make Money with public Domain"

3) Also I would also like to know more case studies and explain them a little better...

Thanks! I look foward to the coaching...

All the Best,
Dan

Tekstar · 01-22-2009, 12:36 AM

I would also like to see step by step for once how to monetize a product into an ebook and an audio book and show what products you used from start to finish.

A question I have which wasn't, at least I hope I didn't miss it, was if you have to keep the original authors title in an ebook you may have created from the original book. Do you have to credit the author or say how old the book is or what the original title was? I think if you have to do that then it might persuade a few from purchasing especially of they do a web search for the name and find it for free. I do think it would be best to change around the text and update it to make it different enough but I would still like to know if I have to do that.

Thanks,

-Bob

Hi Bob, I think you missed it

but basically in a nutshell here is the answer : you don't need to credit the author but it is better business ethic when you credit the author. I usually go the way and credit the author and under the title I add the line: edited by my name. Also you can change the title of your product to a new title and credit the old title in the impress them of the book.

I hope this helps.

Timo

I must have missed it then.. I need to go through it again anyways.

My main concern (again) is to show me how to make money with PD quickly, perhaps by case studies or just examples. My goal is still to quit my job by the end of Feb. and I'm relying mainly on PD to help me achieve it!! I'm very excited after reading Kneb's amazing book. He leaves absolutely nothing out!

johnmags · 01-22-2009, 07:53 AM

Hi Kneb

Thanks for sharing the PD sites to us. You are truly genuine in helping others succeed. I have read a lot of ebooks on public domain and not one of them showed us the source. You just revealed to us the site of the gold mine.

Real Warrior case study Very inspiring and a great thread, Kneb. Thanks. This and other threads on this site have shown me a way to plan a route to online success. I've only read the first page of this thread and don't have time today to read any more. I don't know if this has been brought up before but, at the risk of repeating what someone else has said, I think it's important to point something out. Someone from the UK might do something in error before I have time to read the whole thread. With public domain content there could be some confusion for people in the UK when using works published in the US. If a book was also published in the UK it is still under copyright until the end of the 70th year after the author's death. Make it 71 years to be sure. If an American (or any other nationality) published a book in the US before 1923, it should now be in the public domain. If it was also published in the UK, it might not be in the public domain the UK. If the author died in, say, 1950 it will still be under copyright in the UK. I don't know how the internet affects all this because if a UK citizen used that book for monetary gain it could be seen as breach of copyright. Possibly unless they could prove that the version they were using was from the US publication - or they only sold to people in the US. But even then I'm not sure if it would be out of copyright in the UK. I suppose the best way to avoid any problems in the UK will be to concentrate on US government publications or books published by authors who died more than 70 years ago. There could be similar confusion in other countries that have different copyright laws. So make sure you check in your own country.

Other countries have more complicated rules than the USA, i.e. that the information from the government is not in the public domain and they copyright their information. Timo

Real Warrior case study Hi Kneb, and everyone else! I bought this WSO a week or so ago. I've already more than got my money out of it. I flip websites, and one of my issues has always been how to find great content. I knew about the public domain, but had never been able to put public domain stuff together with my website flipping. Well, Kneb's book solved this problem for me. Actually about three pages out of the book did. Among a ton of other great stuff, Kneb has a section that covers government search engines that lead you right to public domain content on any of thousands of topics. I've started using that content in my websites. It's cut a few hours of research out of the making of each website, and also provided me with great, keyword rich content. That's not all that's in the book. Actually, you could take this book and make it the cornerstone of a whole internet marketing career. I've already read the book twice. (The first time, I read the book in one sitting.) I'm now reading the book for the third time. I actually posted this reply to Kneb's comments on his WSO. Here's the thread in case anyone's interested: How I Made $580K Using PUBLIC DOMAIN Works!

Real Warrior case study Hi Kneb, Here are my suggestions for the coaching: 1) How to turn PD into usable content: basically teach how to grab a pd book at what you can do with it (articles for your blog, for ezines, squidoo lenses, ebooks, free reports, what else?); 2) I vote for the idea of "X Ways to Make Money with public Domain" 3) Also I would also like to know more case studies and explain them a little better... Thanks! I look foward to the coaching... All the Best, Dan

Real Warrior case study I would also like to see step by step for once how to monetize a product into an ebook and an audio book and show what products you used from start to finish. A question I have which wasn't, at least I hope I didn't miss it, was if you have to keep the original authors title in an ebook you may have created from the original book. Do you have to credit the author or say how old the book is or what the original title was? I think if you have to do that then it might persuade a few from purchasing especially of they do a web search for the name and find it for free. I do think it would be best to change around the text and update it to make it different enough but I would still like to know if I have to do that. Thanks, -Bob
