We're going to discuss how you can create your own products using public domain information. First off, the online info product niche is a hot one and if you follow a solid action plan, there's no reason why you cannot succeed. Many top marketers that run profitable content publishing websites actively make use of public domain material to rapidly expand their online businesses.

If you know where to look, you can easily grab thousands of public domain content absolutely free of charge. Here's the best part: you can even put your own name to it and sell it for a profit! How's that for a super easy method to creating a bestselling info product in double quick time - with minimal work involved?

Once you've identified the best public domain sites, what is the next step you have to take in order to turn a free resource into a branded, profit-pulling product? Well, there are two methods you may use:-

The couch potato method

Many folks opt for the former because it requires very little work on your part - all you've got to do is find a quality PD text on a popular topic, download it to your computer, re-package it in PDF format and then publish it for sale on your site. If you choose to go down this route, make sure you take the time to thoroughly investigate the copyright terms of the work in question (yes, even if it's in the public domain), before going ahead and using it.

The tweak and profit

The 'tweak and profit' technique is a lot safer to implement, and, if you're prepared to go the extra mile, will probably prove to be more profitable for you in the long run. This method involves editing and modifying the original content (you need not re-write the entire book, just parts of it), inserting suitable pictures and illustrations where relevant, and changing the font text and size, updating the language so it's appropriate for a modern audience. Some of the other changes you could incorporate include adding a foreword (this would give the impression that you're an expert in your niche) and author's notes after every chapter.

Now let's talk about this in more detail...

For starters, the advantage of being able to edit the content is that you can make sure the information provided inside is relevant and up to date. Some of the writing in public domain books might be outdated and may need to be re-written to reflect the state of modern society. You can change the product as little or as much as you want to, depending on, the needs of your target market as well as your own imagination and creativity.

If the images that are included in the original work are out of date, consider replacing them with your own royalty-free graphics. If there aren't any diagrams, do you think the inclusion of some would improve the overall appearance and quality of the text? Also, feel free to insert your affiliate links in the 'List of Resources' section, especially if you feel the program you're promoting would help enhance the life of your reader.

The bottom line is this...

Set aside a couple hours to re-work the public domain material you download, so it becomes a new and unique product that's ready to make you money.

And with that, we conclude this article on how to use PD information to make your own products!
