Free Website Content With Public Domain!

This helps me make some money to pay for last minute travel and emergency things during my grandmother’s funeral. Today is about Public Domain and features Tony Laidig…


Free Website Content With Public Domain!

You need content for websites that you own, which can mean quite a bit of writing. Or your website content can come from a little known free source called public domain. This source of content has been around for a long time but you may not be capitalizing on it.

Public domain information

This is information that is not under a copyright law. Not just limited to actual text, this information may in the form of audio, images, pictures, video and more. All these different forms of media may have expired copyrights or it may never been under any copyright. Without these, it may be in the public domain.

You do need to check to make certain the information is in the public domain and free of copyright restrictions. If it is free of those you can use it as content on your blog or on your website.

Not Just Blogs!

Actually just about anywhere you would use that media format, you can use public domain media. You can easily use videos to create your own video products. You can create an audio book from audio or from an old book. Create membership websites and fill it with information you find on the public domain. Use images for shirts and graphics. You are only limited to your imagination.

Tony Laidig

Anyone who has been to an Unseminar can tell you how Tony Laidig shares incredible and valuable information about Public domain.  I have attended several and talked to him several different times.  He tells you where to find information, what to look for and if it is probably safe to use.

But what is incredible is that he created this Public Domain Toolbar.  What is so great about it, is that there is no remembering what rules apply to this year or that one.  You also can tell the toolbar what information you need and it will find it.   This toolbar can help provide you with more content than you can possibly use in several lifetimes.

Imagine this, almost everything the government gives public access to, is in the public domain.  Any and all media before 1923 is probably in the public domain.  Shakespeare can be yours. Does that make your head spin?

    Public domain is amazing. I've use a lot of it on another niche. I used mostly government stuff. However, I did find some wonders children fairy tails that I offered as bonuses to e-book I wrote. They were wonderful… illustrations and all.

    Kathryn,That is awesome. I have done some research in the illustrations before and found some of Beatrix Potter in Public Domain. But Internet tools and success articles do not really call for bunnies :)
