SUBJECT: Lesson #5 - How To Make MORE Money With Public Domain Content

{!firstname_fix},

Not many marketers understand or appreciate the real value of
public domain content even though they know it exists.

This is usually because they don't know how to fully exploit
them and so put it off.

Today I want to delve deeper as to what you can do with this
content - starting with images.

Recreate Public Domain Images and Sell Them

Besides modernizing public domain text, another alternative is
recreating copyright-free images. Again, you do not have to be
an artist to do this sort of thing. You do, however, need to
know a little about digital art software like Photoshop or Corel
Draw. 

With the help of a good image editing software, you can make
alterations in a public domain image, depicting tired old works
like Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa or Picasso’s Woman in front of the
Mirror in a humorous twist. 

In fact, there may already be several funny depictions of these
works circulating the net – propaganda posters like the US
Government’s We Can Do It!, Leonardo da Vinci’s The Vetruvian
Man, and many more. These images are in the public domain so
they are free for use by the public any which way they want. 

Once you have a collection of these “modernized” public domain
images, you can group them and publish them as themed calendars,
posters, bumper stickers, coffee mugs, or other gift items. You
can even print your products and sell them online as t-shirts,
hats, book bags, cards, and more.

There are two ways of doing this. You can hire a company that
specializes in promotional products. Have them make an inventory
of all your altered public domain images so you can store them
and ship them whenever a buyer decides to purchase from your
site. Or, you can enlist the services of a Print on Demand
company like Café Press or Lulu and let them reproduce or
reprint copies of your public domain images. 

Redistribute Public Domain Works on eBay

Right now, eBay is one of the most powerful websites for selling
products to the world. Based on auction-style selling, buyers
can bid on a product up until the time deadline and then the
highest bid wins the product.

Make CD Versions of Public Domain Work

Repackaging public domain work on CDs gives your business a new
dimension and it's easy to do. 

CD versions of public domain works are especially profitable if
you are making revisions or updates on an existing product.

In our last and final email I'll go over more ways in which you
can re-purpose and recycle public domain content which can lead
to more traffic!

We'll also be touching over the core of what internet marketing
is really all about and why public domain content is so precious
for the online world.
