Making The Most Of Public Domain And Private Label Content

by: Sandra Stammberger

There's so much public domain content available all over the internet, with Master Resale Rights available also sites springing up left also right with Private Label articles you can use to create your own products, however what do you need to bear in mind, what is the best way to use all this content also 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 also 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 however 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 also get started. Where can you find this type of content? It can be difficult to find content that is free to use however here are a few links to get you started:

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 also 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, also http://www.thelostfiles.com provide guaranteed public domain or private label content for a monthly fee. You could or else 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, however a lot of newsletter owners will have free ebooks, giveaways also articles to download - some of which you will be able to use as your own.

So you've got your content ready to go also you've checked your rights also permissions however there is one more thing to think about - sites such as http://www.copyscape.com can check for duplicate content on the internet also of course so can the search engines. This could mean anything from the search engines deciding they will not 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, however that does not mean you should not go ahead also 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 also decide what you want to produce. If you plan to use content from more than one source, such as two or three articles by different authors to be combined into a report, you will need to go through also 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 also grammar (for example - spelling for some words is different in the US than the UK) also 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 also start combining them together to fit what you want to say - cut also paste to copy sections into the right place.

Next, look at the way your draft reads now also see if it fits your style of writing, your personality also 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, also then go ahead also publish it however to take it a step further also 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 also laid out, it should not take you long to reword things, add in some of your own ideas also keywords that fit your site, also maybe a few quotes also suddenly you're looking at something that no-one else has got, that the search engines will love also that no-one can claim you copied.

Time to start creating!
