This article will show you some important information about Public Domain Works and how you can make money from them. As you may probably know public domain is a vast resource, but is a largely untapped one. In the US, public domain works are simply published works that no longer have copyright protection under the US law. This means all works published before 1923 regardless of where they were published. Works published between 1923 and 1963 but whose copyrights were not renewed (This means there are no copyright claimants to these works). Other rules apply but I decided to skip the lengthy legalese to keep this as short and sweet as possible. If you want to read the finer print just go to: Now, seriously, do people really make money with Public Domain works? People who make money with public domain works are much more numerous than you think. Your local bookstore may have as many public domain works as contemporary ones. You can name the bestsellers of all times as among the few of them. To name a few: The Holy Bible, Roget's Thesaurus, Rutledge's Manual of Etiquette and even many of the cookbooks that you still refer to everyday. The top grossing animated films by Walt Disney, Little Mermaid and Snow White are derived from Public Domain materials. Both films made millions of dollars for Disney Corp. Now, many website owners already make money with Public Domain - works that were published a hundred or more years ago! One such website owner is Rebecca Fine. Her website The Science of Getting Rich Network attracts traffic that most website owners can only envy. Her The Science of Getting Rich Network website is currently ranked 14,276 at Alexa! Many of the recipe ebook packages being sold today for $17 to $47 get their materials from Public Domain works. Many of the articles being circulated online and sold to website owners are sections or chapters of published public domain materials written more than a hundred or more years ago. Many of the ebooks that you read today are wholly or partly public domain works. Here’s an important lesson here: if many people are able to make money with public domain, there’s no reason why you can’t. By Raul R. Bancod The
