Making The Most Of Public Domain And Private Label Content

Making The Most Of Public Domain And Private Label Content

By Sandra Stammberger

There’sso much public domain content available all over the internet, withMaster Resale Rights available and sites springing up left and rightwith Private Label articles you can use to create your own products,but what do you need to bear in mind, what is the best way to use allthis content and what can you create with it?

What to Look Out For:

Copyright- you absolutely must check on this - violating someone’s copyright isnot clever and can be a really expensive mistake not to mentionseriously damaging your reputation. Is it really public domain? Allthose lawyers fees can really mount up when checking into all this butbelieve me, you really don’t want to end up in court over it.

PublicDomain Content - If you have the money to have a lawyer look atcopyright for you then fine, go ahead and get started. Where can youfind this type of content? It can be difficult to find content that isfree to use but here are a few links to get you started:

http://www.gutenberg.org/
http://www.wikimedia.org/
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/index.html

MasterResale Rights - If you can’t afford expensive lawyers what else can youdo? One rather less pricey way is to buy Master Resale Rights to aproduct - this gives you the opportunity to name yourself as theauthor, use the content in another product, rewrite the whole thing -the possibilities are endless. Just be aware with this that you willneed to look at the terms and conditions of what you are allowed to dowith the product before you buy.

On a budget? - not to worry,there are still many ways you can find great content without spending afortune or worrying about whether you can legally use it. Sites such ashttp://www.infogoround.com, and http://www.thelostfiles.com provideguaranteed public domain or private label content for a monthly fee.You could also sign up to some of the well known internet marketer’snewsletters. Why? Well if you’re serious about internet marketing youshould be checking out all the latest happenings anyway, but a lot ofnewsletter owners will have free ebooks, giveaways and articles todownload - some of which you will be able to use as your own.

Soyou’ve got your content ready to go and you’ve checked your rights andpermissions but there is one more thing to think about - sites such ashttp://www.copyscape.com can check for duplicate content on theinternet and of course so can the search engines. This could meananything from the search engines deciding they won’t rate your site ashighly because the exact same content is available elsewhere to somesmarty pants asking you if you really did write that incredibly goodarticle because they’ve seen someone else claiming that they wrote ittoo, so you do need to be aware of this when looking to use content youhaven’t personally created, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t goahead and make the most of all that wonderful information.

What Can You Do?

Youcould just read the information to learn from it yourself; you couldread it to get ideas for businesses, more articles, content, the listis limited only by your imagination.

How about:

Ebooks
Print Books
Presentations
Membership Sites
Face to face courses
Mini courses
Teleclass content
Webcast content
Podcast content
Blog content
Content for your Autoresponder
Ezine content
Articles for your site to build AdSense income pages
Viral Reports
Tips Lists

Whenit comes to using all the content you have gathered, you need to lookthrough it all and decide what you want to produce. If you plan to usecontent from more than one source, such as 2 or 3 articles by differentauthors to be combined into a report, you will need to go through andchange the content into a similar style, check that it is all writtenin the same tense, make sure the formatting is the same throughout,check for spelling and grammar (for example - spelling for some wordsis different in the US than the UK) and look through all the articlesto see if any of the points made are duplicated.

Once you’vedone this, make a list of points you want to make in your report, readthe articles through again and start combining them together to fitwhat you want to say - cut and paste to copy sections into the rightplace.

Next, look at the way your draft reads now and see if itfits your style of writing, your personality and your business. Rewordit to fit with this - there’s no point in producing a very formallywritten, stiff sounding report for a hobby site.

At this pointyou could just tweak it, proof read it, and then go ahead and publishit but to take it a step further and make it really unique, why notlook at how you might rewrite it so that all of the content is yours -now you’ve got the basic idea down and laid out, it shouldn’t take youlong to reword things, add in some of your own ideas and keywords thatfit your site, and maybe a few quotes and suddenly you’re looking atsomething that no-one else has got, that the search engines will loveand that no-one can claim you copied.

Time to start creating!
