It's no surprise to me that so many posts, comments, and questions that I see on the Warrior forum are from newbies trying to figure out ways to make some extra money online. And I got to thinking, I've generated VERY fast money online doing things that any newbie or experienced marketer can do.

Feeling inspired by a large new deal that literally fell into my lap, I wanted to share a few models that either myself or my past customers have used to being in money FAST doing things that really anyone can do.



Case study 1: Public Domain content + WordPress blog = $3,000 profit in 45 days.

Something like that can be done 1,000,000 times. There's no end to the content needed to make this happen. All I did was find 3 public domain books in one of the 23 best-selling niches I've identified, and then set up a niche WordPress blog.

I then copied and pasted the content of that book over a period of 45 days doing 1 to 3 posts a day. I also posted my affiliate links to related books on Amazon, ClickBank, and Commission Junction. And of course, AdSense. After 45 days I listed the blog for sale and it very quickly sold for a little over $3,000.

This is a model that anyone can follow. It's dead-simple. If you're a worker, you can develop one of these sites a day and use the automated blog posting feature in WordPress to post your content to free up your time.

Once your bankroll builds, you can do what I do, and that's outsource 99% of the work. Once you're cranking out 3-5 of these sites every single day, you can imagine what starts to happen after 45 days if all you want to do is flip these sites. I won't even post what your earnings look like even selling the sites for just $1000 after 45 days.

Do the math. It works and it's proven.


I also "mini-flip" niche blogs with Public Domain content in as little as 3 days:

I compile 1 or 2 public domain books, let´s say about "public speaking", I choose a killer free WP theme, split the content into 21 blog posts, setup the adsense and all the rest, and then sell the blog 3 days later, for anything between $200 to $600...

Not bad for 60 minutes of work.

Of course, I have a system setup, and all I do is just to select the public domain books. All the rest is outsourced for dirt-cheap.


Remember that:

1. Most people are lazy.

2. Not everybody knows and/or wants to setup a blog (or anything) and fill it with good content (from the mighty Public Domain).

Your content is great (written by great authors, not PLR-crap ghostwriters)... and hardly indexed.

3. Therefore, there are lots of eager buyers ready to buy...





Case study 2: Setting up a 900-page AdSense site with Public Domain articles. Sold for $1,500 in 30 days.

A student of mine needed money quickly and wanted to do a quick flip. All he did was copy and paste 3 public domain books into a site - 900 pages of Public Domain content, added his AdSense ads, and then put the site up for sale. Sold the site for $1,500.

Of course, he used software to automate the page building.

You can of course make much more by holding onto these types of websites and building an empire (heck, now he flips 5 sites like that each month), but sometimes you need money fast and you can do these quick flips any time you need to.



Case study 3: Public Domain Halloween images + mini site = $3,000 profit in 19 days.

I found a bunch of old Halloween images that were in the public domain.

All I did was package them up, wrote a couple of paragraphs about what is included, showed a few examples, and offered the whole package of images with full rights for $17. Sold 203 packages in October. Spent $300 on a few ads, total profit: Over $3,000.

Total time it took me to put the above together - about 3 hours max.

You can build thousands of these sites in tens of thousands of niches. The above is the smallest one I have. A similar site I have where I used the same method makes MUCH more than this all the time. I'm just saying this so you know you can use the above method any time of the year. Not just Holidays.




Case study 4: Student searches Government website, compiles its Public Domain material, makes $2,000 first month.

This is a great overlooked niche: Student Loans.

A student friend of mine put together an ebook about student loans. He obtained all of the information from a BIG public domain supplier who spits out tons (millions) of content... the US Government!

Took him a few days to put everything together, made over $2,000 profit first month, $5,000 the second month - and continues to sell ebooks like crazy. Where does he sell it? On FaceBook and student forums.

Yes, someone could have easily done all of the research and got the info for free themselves, but there is a TON of money to be made packaging up Public Domain content and information that anyone could obtain and selling it for massive profits.




The above are just some small case studies to show you some quick ways you can make money with Public Domain as fast as TODAY.

Of course there are stories about $10,000 here, $100,000 there, and even millions, but I know if I shared some of those stories with you, most of you wouldn't think it's possible.

The above numbers are small, so it's easy for you to say, "yes, I can do that", and then you do.

As you start making money with Public Domain, and as more and more rolls in, you set your goals higher... and before you know it, making $50,000 profit in a month for a few hours of work doesn't scare you any more.





PS: you will discover more Case Studies, insights and answers to Warriors questions throughout this entire thread.




All the best,

I know that people check with duplicate checkers when you sell site so do you re-write content or are you finding works that are not yet on the internet? It seems like if it was from a government site or gutenberg it will show up as duplicate content unless it's re-written.

How?

Go to [WorldCat.org] Search for books, music, videos, articles and more in libraries near you and do a search for the book there.

Worldcat organization is a highly useful site that finds books on local libraries around the world.

PD is still very new to me. I 've been digging for some books at Worldcat and will you please clarify something for me? When I specifically search for a book using a keyword phrase, I 'll add the dates from 1800 - 1922 to the keyword phrase. A number of book titles come up. I click on them but then I see the Publishing dates as in the 1980's or 1990's. I 'm not sure if I 'm doing the right thing here but how do I know for sure that the book is Public Domain before I head over to the library.

Thanks ahead for your time and help!

I found this excellent resource: Sonoma County Library, California

How can you use it? Well, they have gone to the trouble of scanning a ton of images into the system. Do an advanced search, enter your subject, select Photograph for Limit and select all of the Locations. Under Sort, choose "Publication Date". When you hit "Go", you'll get your list of pictures related to your keyword, with the newer ones at the beginning. Simply start working from the end of your list and if you have any photo touch-up skills, then you're in business.

Some nice old pics of trains that I found that are clearly in the public domain:




There are so many more, it's unreal. Just let your mind go and you'll come up with all sorts of applications for this stuff.

For the train search, here's the link: Horizon Information Portal

- books could be republished in that year's
- mistake by the person that punched in the dates into the database

So the best way is to checkout by sending/ asking the librarian about the publishing date of the book. You cannot be sure about the dates and everything else before you hold the book in your hand.

SWEET you can make a great blog/website with a bunch of free high quality information..

I search ebay, DP and sitepoint for these blogs and websites .. on ebay the blogs go for like $50 and on DP about the same..

Is there some special secret section you have to sell on, where can I see blogs and websites that people are selling for high value. Where di you sell the blog that made you $3k in 45 days at?

And there blogs you say you can easily sell for 200-600 dollars.. where are you selling these at? I search past history on ebay and I didnt see anything there, i searched everywhere (but clearly not the right prices)

Or there is like 0 bids on the blog for sale..

Sorry for having a skeptical attitude.. i just can't complete the pie on where you sell these sites to make the money you claim to make. (And I DO believe you're making big bucks, you are very knowledgeable on this topic)

I don't know how to deliver what I want to say in a nice way but hope I will not offend anyone.

$3000 for a site in 45 days is near to impossible this days, 2 years before yes this is possible, I've been in site flipping business for 5 years now and my first 2-3 years in the business, selling this kind of site at $3000 in short period of time is very easy.

But since 2007 the price of sites (any type of site) is slowly dropping. This days there are so many people selling websites every where, sitepoint, digitalpoint, ebay the price really drop very fast.

And most buyer now base the price of the site on the earnings and traffic. If a site don't have good traffic and earnings you can't sell site even good looking with good and unique content for a high price.

To sell a site for $3000 , the site must earn at least $200 - $300 a month because of buyers price the site X 10 of the monthly earnings.

Unless you can point us to a place beside the sites I mentioned to sell sites, that we can find good buyers.

But over all even do we can't sell a site for $3000 the information is really great maybe we can build 30 sites and sell them for $100 per site to gain $3000 still good source of income fast and easy.
