Some time ago (a few months) I received Avril Harper’s Ultimate Public Domain Profit Plan and, to be honest, have only spent some time on it in the last few weeks.

I have read quite a lot about using material from the public domain in the past but Avril’s guide is the most comprehensive I have seen.

What I failed to realise is that there are lots of rules about using any public domain material and you must ensure that the work you want to use is truely public domain material. Avril’s manual and CD package goes through all the pitfalls that you must be aware of.

More importantly perhaps, Avril offers lots of advice and ideas for using copyright-free books etc to create your own copyrighted work which you are free to sell and keep 100% of the profits.

There are lots of misconceptions about the public domain, what you can and can’t use.

For example, I recently noticed a post on a forum where one lady had got it completely wrong. She had basically said:

As far as I am aware all material on the internet is in the public domain

Her post didn’t last long – a moderator deleted it before too many people read it.

What should be taken from this is that material on the internet is certainly NOT always public domain

But it does highlight how someone can get it so utterly wrong and leave themselves open to serious problems i.e. lawsuits.

There’s plenty more info on the site if you are interested:
