subject: The Best Home Business Income Opportunity Available Today [print this page] The best home business income opportunity available today......eBay and the public domain!
You will know all about eBay, the world's biggest market place and a place where ordinary people can set up a business for next to nothing and be making real cash profits within a week!
But What is the public domain?
Here is the Wikipedia definition:
The public domain is a range of abstract materials commonly referred to as intellectual property which are not owned or controlled by anyone. The term indicates that these materials are therefore "public property", and available for anyone to use for any purpose."
And....
A creative work is said to be in the public domain if there are no laws which restrict its use by the public at large. For instance, a work may be in the public domain if no laws establish proprietary rights over the work, or if the work or its subject matter are specifically excluded from existing laws.
So material is in the Public domain if; Its copyright has expired Its copyright wasn't properly renewed It has been released into the public domain by its creator
what kind of 'material' are we talking about?
Books Works of Art Illustrations Music Magazines Videos Government publications (in the USA)
How can we tell what is in the public domain?
A very important point to bear in mind here is that different countries have different rules for what constitutes public domain material.
In the USA the following applies; Published Before 1923 IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN Published 1923 1963 copyright not renewed IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN Published by the US Government, regardless of date IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN Published after 1963 NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN
In the UK (and many European countries), copyright expires on the 70th anniversary of the end of the year that the creator died. (for example; if the creator died on 27th March 1910, copyright expires on the 31st December 1980)
Material published by the UK government is not in the public domain.
It is your responsibility to check the law governing the public domain in your own country.
So now you understand a little about how the public domain works but why does it represent the best home business income opportunity today?
There are millions (literally) of books, artworks, musical works, videos and other publications (some created by the greatest thinkers and historical figures the world has seen) freely available for you to do whatever you want with including SELL them.
And this is where eBay comes into the equation.
Because eBay has such a huge, global audience running into hundreds of millions of people it is a relatively simple task to research popular niches (eBay provide the free tools) where people are spending money and then find public domain material to repackage into products to sell to them.
It is not difficult with a little determination and work to fully stock your own eBay store with products created from public domain material. The simplest and cheapest way to package these products is on CD and DVD (easy and cheap to post) so your costs are a few cents per disc plus your eBay/PayPal fees.
With one product you'd be making maybe $5 profit per sale, nothing to get too excited about but consider if you had 50 products each selling one copy per day (remember this is a 365 day a year business) you'd be making nearly six figures per year!!
Are you now beginning to see the power of the public domain when coupled with eBay and why this is the best home business income opportunity available today?
