"Here’s a Public Domain Idea You WON’T Want to Miss!" © Avril Harper, Chartered CMIPD, Dip PM
Today we’ll talk about getting expert writers to make money for us as affiliates or promoting our own products instead ….. and without paying those writers or giving anything in return for articles that could drive hundreds of visitors to our promotions.
Those articles will be taken from what’s called the ‘public domain’ and if you don’t know it already, the public domain is a mammoth storehouse of valuable creative works available to you and me, completely free of charge.
This idea is hugely effective, cost free, it works incredibly well and can generate a very good living for you, as you’ll read about soon.
Typically ‘public domain’ describes literary, musical, artistic and other creative works that are no longer protected by copyright, alongside others that never were subject to copyright. As such those items can be picked up and turned into valuable commercial products such as books, films, postcards, prints, calendars, and countless other high profit products.
The fact is there are many millions of articles in the public domain, covering a massive range of topics, and not as some people think featuring just old and long outdated articles. In fact, especially in the United States, there are articles printed as recently as the 1970s which are packed with valuable up-to-date information and no longer subject to copyright.
The articles we’ll use were first published in the United States, they’re written and researched by experts, and likely to make a good deal of money for us.
But wait up a moment, didn’t I say these articles you can pillage and plunder for profit are located in the United States? Doesn’t that mean they could still be copyright protected outside the USA? And doesn’t that also mean any of our readers using those articles for profit outside the United States also run the risk of being charged with copyright theft?
Yes, yes and yes! I really do suggest many of our readers could face legal charges for using those wonderful US-based public domain articles.
UNLESS of course you don’t actually use those public domain articles outside the USA, you use them instead inside the USA! Easy, very easy, and today I’ll tell you how it’s done.
You do it by marketing and promoting your public domain articles via American sources, using American-based companies, and targeting American readers. So you’ll use US-based article directories, you’ll choose US-based affiliate products, you’ll target US-based buyers. And that means every single aspect of your business is US-based, as indeed are the articles you’ll steal from the public domain.
Even better you can pick from millions of very high quality articles, on countless different subject, and you can even add your own name as author to those articles, and use them to promote tens of thousands of very different products ….. without ever having a website of your own.
Does it sound too good to be true? Yes of course it does, but actually this idea really is as good as it sounds, and perhaps even better!
All you do is locate products likely to make you high affiliate commissions - try ClickBank, they even tell you which products are most popular with buyers and fellow affiliates - then you locate public domain articles that are so up-to-date they’ll be ready to upload to article directories with your name as author literally minutes after locating those articles. What more could you ask?
All you do to make this business work is choose a subject to write about and promote, then you study ClickBank’s marketplace to see which products are currently most popular and generating regular sales, finally you determine what competition exists against you for those products.
Once you know lots of people might be interested in buying your chosen product, once you determine competition against you is low, you set up what’s called a ‘forwarding’ site that takes literally seconds to create and which lies at the heart of today’s easy exercise.
Once done, you make a few simple changes to articles you’ve just taken from the public domain, which you then place on the world’s leading article directory where quality articles frequently show high in search engine returns.
Then the more articles you upload, the more articles you’ll have ranking high in search engine returns, and the more traffic there’ll be coming your way.
Additionally, using what’s called ‘forwarding’ you do not require web design skills, you need never know how to upload a web page to the Internet, and you do not require hosting space either. And all this business will ever cost you is about $10 each year or maybe less for every one of your income streams.
Forwarding allows your raw affiliate links to be hidden behind a conventional domain name, so when someone keys that domain name into their browser he or she will be forwarded to the sales page for the product you are promoting with your affiliate details already embedded.
Following on, your domain name is used in promotions for products you are promoting as an affiliate, in today’s case as part of the resource box in articles you take from the public domain and subsequently upload to Ezine Articles (www.ezinearticles.com).
Using the forwarding technique and uploading a few short articles to Ezine Articles, you could be receiving hits on your domain name and taking orders the very same day ….. without you ever having a website of your own!
Once you take your articles from the public domain, those modern day ones I told you about, you make a few simple changes, including adding your own name as author, and you use those articles to drive traffic to your forwarded website.
Within days, you’ll find just one article can drive hundreds of visitors to your promotions, and that article can take just minutes to perfect.
This is where all that traffic will come from:
* From visitors to the directory who read your article and click on the link in your resource box, and who subsequently visit the site featuring your promotions.
* From publishers visiting Ezine Articles’ directory to obtain articles for their own sites, and who are obliged to include your resource box with active links at sites where your articles are published. Some of those publishers receive millions of page views every month, and that means major traffic travelling from your articles’ resource box to whatever you are promoting!
* From people keying words into search engines that match keywords and phrases used in your articles and which help your articles rank high in search engine returns.
So now you know how it’s done, now you realise there’s lots of money to make promoting other people’s products, using other people’s articles, it’s time you knew where to go to steal those articles.
There are three main places I personally use:
* Google’s digital library at http://books.google.com which features books new and old, copyright protected and in the public domain, and where you can search for and download many copyright-free titles.
* eBay, where you can find physical copies of magazines published at specific times and which you can check for copyright status literally in seconds, even before you pay pennies for those publications.
* Gutenberg.org - it’s the world’s largest online source of information and downloads for works in the public domain.
When you have your title, there’s a very simple way to make sure it’s in the public domain, and this goes for very old titles as well as articles by expert writers published as recently as the late 1970s. That place is: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/firstperiod.html
And that is where you’ll also find links to other sites
offering valuable information about public domain works that are perfect for
promoting ClickBank products as an affiliate - as well as turning into
unique articles with your name as author.
Isn’t that wonderful? I’ll tell you it is, because I use those ideas myself every day, and I’ve also turned the whole concept into a 100-page report that’s available to you at: www.avrilharper.com/pubdomcb.htm It's called 'The PDCB Report - How to Use Modern Day, High Quality, Top Notch, Ready-Made Articles from the Public Domain to Promote ClickBank Products as an Affiliate'.
All articles are provided in good faith and are researched and written to the best of our abilities. However, readers should always do their own due diligence before investing in any business opportunity, and they should be aware that many article writers and web masters, including ourselves, frequently receive a commission for selling other people's products. We pride ourselves on always choosing the very best products to recommend to our readers and we only recommend products offering a solid money back guarantee.
