What is Public Domain and How to Use It

What is Public Domain & How Can I Use It?

What is Public Domain?

Well, very simply put, public domain is any work that is not protected by copyright.

There are works that people give to the public domain (often referred to as 'free content' on the Internet). If you've completed my 'Truth about Traffic' course that you get free for signing up for my newsletter, you'll see I've included a number of resources for this. Just one thing to keep in mind is that this very freely circulating content will often be published all over the Internet.

You may also be interested to know that works published by the U.S. government are not protected by copyright. There are also works whose copyrights are no longer in effect.
This can be due to a number of situations, like copyright expiring etc.

How to Use Public Domain

There are many ways to use public domain content and here's just a few ideas:

- Website content: You can use public domain to draw in traffic. You can use this content to promote your own products, affiliate products or through program's like
Google's Adsense.

- Reselling it: People have made great money selling books (in printed or electronic format) that are in the public domain. Even big bookstores take works in the public domain, republish and sell them every single day.

- Make them into a new product: You can use the ideas and some of the content of public domain works to create new and better products.

Think multimedia. Books in print can be changed into a CD or even a video set. Add to the perceived value of the product by offering different ways to consume the information. What
was once simply a 'book' can now be a complete 'home study course' or 'training program'.

Where to Get Public Domain

There are a number of places to find public domain. I mentioned the 'free content' websites in my 'Truth about Traffic' course. You can also use the works from the U.S. government. As far as finding the public domain books and items with expired copyright, I must admit I'm not so
experienced in this area. I'm also not a lawyer (NO KIDDING!), so it gets complicated.
