Of course you can always do some search engine research and find a wealth of public domain material that you can use. The problem is that it can take hours and hours to sift through all those website to find the glimmering gems of public domain that you want to use for your business.

Here are a few basic sites to get you started:

http://www.gutenberg.org

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/advancedsearch.html

http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books

http://www.booksforabuck.com/general/pubsources.html

http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html

http://www.publicbookshelf.com

These resources will get you started, but they won't get you all the way there. If you're serious about using public domain, then you've got to find the sources for your niche that are off the beaten path. Unfortunately, several sources of public domain works that are jealously guarded and very difficult to find... especially some of the most useful types of public domain like government manuals. Many of the best resources are never publicized.

In addition, lots of new websites for public domain are popping up all the time.

You're probably starting to get the idea that finding and using public domain works in your business can be a little tricky.

If fact, if you want to start using public domain in your business or on your website, then I highly suggest that you get the advice of an expert in public domain. The expert that I highly suggest is Yanik Silver. His course on public domain, called Public Domain Riches, is extremely comprehensive and will give you a lot of little tips and tricks to make your use of public domain very profitable.

The best part about Public Domain Riches is that it offers a comprehensive list of resources for public domain that's updated regularly... something that takes too much time for me to do myself.

I hope you found this little public domain primer useful!
