SUBJECT: Lesson #3 - Creating Your eBook With Public Domain Creating an ebook is quite simple {!firstname_fix}. You can scan a physical book, compile the scans and transfer them to a PDF file, or you can hire a freelancer to transcribe the book in Word or another data processing program, so you can turn that into a PDF file. The beauty of e-books is they can be easily downloaded from the Internet, whether direct from a website or as an email attachment. However, downloading can be slow for some consumers, especially if they are not using a broadband connection. E-books that are particularly long can take quite a long time to download and can be a source of hassle for your consumers. Aside from cutting your e-book into mini, easy to download file sizes (which would totally defeat the whole purpose of having an e-book for a product in the first place), the best option you have is to zip your e-book into an archive. This will compress your e-book into a smaller file and will make it easy to download.

Take your inspiration from these well known stories: Walt Disney Walt Disney has made a billion dollar fortune on timeless stories that we have always loved. His entire empire is built on characters from these stories, making everything from movies, TV shows, songs, music, theme parks, and so much more. His source? The Grimm Brother’s Collection of Fairy Tales – a public domain work. Disney simply copied them, tweaked the characters’ names, rewrote a happy ending, slapped the whole thing on a piece of film, added some music, and voila! He opened a whole new world of magic while he made profit out of it. Ted Turner Turner Classic Movies (TCM), a cable network that earns millions of dollars a year in gross profits, broadcasts classic films that have long since entered the public domain, Ted Turner only pays a very minimal cost when broadcasting. This is a far cry from other broadcast stations who must shell out millions to pay for royalties and other fees. As a shrewd businessman, Ted Turner saw the opportunity of a lifetime that public domain offered – re-distributing copyright-free works and earning a fortune for his effort. You will find many more examples of rags-to-riches stories around public domain re-selling. Who said this kind of stories only exist in fairy tales? You can create your own fairy tale, too, by turning public domain ideas into dollars. In our next lesson will discuss how you go about making money with your new eBook - don't miss out on this!
