Making The Most Of Public Domain And Private Label Content
Making The Most Of Public Domain And Private Label ContentBy Sandra Stammberger
There's
so much public domain content available all over the internet, with
Master Resale Rights available and sites springing up left and right
with 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 all
this content and what can you create with it?
What to Look Out For:
Copyright
- you absolutely must check on this - violating someone's copyright is
not clever and can be a really expensive mistake not to mention
seriously damaging your reputation. Is it really public domain? All
those lawyers fees can really mount up when checking into all this but
believe me, you really don't want to end up in court over it.
Public
Domain Content - If you have the money to have a lawyer look at
copyright for you then fine, go ahead and get started. Where can you
find this type of content? It can be difficult to find content that is
free 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
Master
Resale Rights - If you can't afford expensive lawyers what else can you
do? One rather less pricey way is to buy Master Resale Rights to a
product - this gives you the opportunity to name yourself as the
author, use the content in another product, rewrite the whole thing -
the possibilities are endless. Just be aware with this that you will
need to look at the terms and conditions of what you are allowed to do
with the product before you buy.
On a budget? - not to worry,
there are still many ways you can find great content without spending a
fortune or worrying about whether you can legally use it. Sites such as
http://www.infogoround.com, and http://www.thelostfiles.com provide
guaranteed public domain or private label content for a monthly fee.
You could also sign up to some of the well known internet marketer's
newsletters. Why? Well if you're serious about internet marketing you
should be checking out all the latest happenings anyway, but a lot of
newsletter owners will have free ebooks, giveaways and articles to
download - some of which you will be able to use as your own.
So
you've got your content ready to go and you've checked your rights and
permissions but there is one more thing to think about - sites such as
http://www.copyscape.com can check for duplicate content on the
internet and of course so can the search engines. This could mean
anything from the search engines deciding they won't rate your site as
highly because the exact same content is available elsewhere to some
smarty pants asking you if you really did write that incredibly good
article because they've seen someone else claiming that they wrote it
too, so you do need to be aware of this when looking to use content you
haven't personally created, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go
ahead and make the most of all that wonderful information.
What Can You Do?
You
could just read the information to learn from it yourself; you could
read it to get ideas for businesses, more articles, content, the list
is 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
When
it comes to using all the content you have gathered, you need to look
through it all and decide what you want to produce. If you plan to use
content from more than one source, such as 2 or 3 articles by different
authors to be combined into a report, you will need to go through and
change the content into a similar style, check that it is all written
in the same tense, make sure the formatting is the same throughout,
check for spelling and grammar (for example - spelling for some words
is different in the US than the UK) and look through all the articles
to see if any of the points made are duplicated.
Once you've
done this, make a list of points you want to make in your report, read
the articles through again and start combining them together to fit
what you want to say - cut and paste to copy sections into the right
place.
Next, look at the way your draft reads now and see if it
fits your style of writing, your personality and your business. Reword
it to fit with this - there's no point in producing a very formally
written, stiff sounding report for a hobby site.
At this point
you could just tweak it, proof read it, and then go ahead and publish
it but to take it a step further and make it really unique, why not
look 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 you
long to reword things, add in some of your own ideas and keywords that
fit your site, and maybe a few quotes and suddenly you're looking at
something that no-one else has got, that the search engines will love
and that no-one can claim you copied.
Time to start creating!
