Hello Kneb To be honest and frank with you I am extremely disappointed by your book; I was expecting at least some warning like: THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION - SINCE IT WILL BE BUSY FOR THE NEXT THREE TO FOUR DAYS (In case that you have dial-up connection) I am glad that I have broadband so took me like 15 minutes to download everything. Or something like: WARNING!!! -WARNING!!! - WARNING!!! IN CASE THAT YOUR HARD DRIVE IS ALMOST FULL, DO NOT DARE TO BUY THIS BOOK, SINCE IT IS A MASSIVE DOWNLOAD WITH THE BONUSES I am also glad that my children gave me a new portable hard drive for Christmas, so I have enough space to start playing with all the sources (some of them) that you provide inside the book. Now seriously, I am most impressed and I just started glancing through it. I'll come back after the weekend which shall be used for reading and having some ideas storm processes to make good use of all this. Thanks a lot, Efren |

Lol, you forgot the warning of "Make sure you have plenty of free time before you start reading, because you'll be sucked in for hours!" My latest update: I just formed my Publishing Company tonight. ![]() I am now the proud employee of CM Media LC. ![]() |

Guys, I've said this many times before in that other thread that got deleted. Don't wait for Kneb's coaching to get started with something. If you're concerned about copyright issues, then stick with US Books printed before 1923. Those are GUARANTEED to be in the public domain. The first book I did, which I'm waiting on my second proof copy from Amazon, was printed in 1909. I don't expect to see a single sale on it, but I still went ahead and paid the $39 to upgrade at Amazon, so I can charge a lower list price and make the same amount of money. It's worth it, though, because now I know the process and am working on getting my second book published through Amazon. I figured out what I need to do differently (just to make it easier), and learned some things. Don't wait for somebody to hold your hand. There are more than enough examples on what can be done, just pick one and replicate it. In fact, I guarantee that you'll learn more from any coaching if you've already gone through some of the stuff on your own. You'll know some other questions to ask, and be able to understand things a little better. |

Hey, here's what could be an EXCELLENT business model... If any of you have the BFM script (I'm not going to go into it because this is Kneb's thread for his own product), then you have the workings for a great membership site. Find several public domain works around your subject and offer them as a freebie to your members. Find a couple of the really good books and offer them as an OTO, for a decent price, say $27 - $47. The better quality and higher quantity, the more you can charge. If you don't mind a little manual work, then you can even throw in a physical copy of the books. However you want to do it will work. Anyway, you now are getting members that can become affiliates and promote your site to their friends. If this makes sense and you know the script that I'm talking about, then you should be seeing several $'s floating around in your head right now. If not, then do some searching and see if you can figure it out. I'm not trying to be too cryptic, I just don't want to hijack Kneb's thread onto another product that isn't his, but this is too good to keep quiet about. And Kneb, if you'd like me to edit any of this post, then just let me know. |

Anyway, the steps were extremely easy. My state (Kansas) has the ability to do it all completely online. I got online and registered with the site. Check out your Secretary Of State website for details. After I registered, I was able to just go through the steps to form my LLC. I'm not planning anything fancy with it, so I didn't have to worry about some of the things. I just want the protection right now, and I'll focus on building other businesses to spread my assets later. Once I got to the end, I just had to pay $160 with my credit card and I was able to print out the Articles of Organization immediately. That's it, and my business is up and running! When you complete that, a simple visit to irs.gov will get your EIN number for FREE. Now's the time when you have to decide if you want your LLC to be taxed like a corporation, but I am not interested in that right now, I'll deal with that in another business. Answer a few questions, and you're through and can print out your new EIN immediately. So, in total, after about 1 hour I had my business formed and my EIN. All I have to do now is go into my bank and get a Business Credit Card in order to start building credit for my business. | |

Thanks for the kind comments, Jack... And yes, I know than the free coaching is being awaited for many of you, but sometimes, things get delayed. It will be ready pretty soon, though, I can assure that. In the meantime, please take a look at Bishop´s (wise) words... | |

SO TRUE... That´s exactlywhat I was going to say... 1. Write a starting plan. Mindmap it. 2. Start following your plan, with focused action. Then, you will be totally ready from Day 1 of coaching... ---> Take a look at the simple plan below, kindly outlined by Bishop:
You don´t even need the BFM script to make it work... But start doing something right now, 1 plan at a time. Things start to happen when you start doing something... :) | ||

Anyway, if you're hesitant to buy it, then don't. If you're interested in public domain, then it's a great investment to your business. Nobody's going to fault you one way or the other. | |

Hi Dennis, Thanks for asking, because this is a crucial question: 1. What you get when you discover Public Domain is access to (killer) FREE CONTENT... Forever. We are talking about an (almost) unlimited number of articles, books, texts, videos, movies, audios, speeches, music, sound effects, images, graphics, photographies, and even software and source code... 2. The most important element of any (information) business is CONTENT. Content is especially important in online marketing, where people are looking for information. 3. The better your content, the more traffic, subscribers and money you make. As easy as that. 4. The Public Domain gives you access to millions upon milions of FREE bestselling CONTENT... And the key here is "bestselling". Killer content. The Public Domain is "like" a PLR lifetime membership... BUT (unlike with PLR) you are getting access to real Bestsellers, GREAT content, made by real experts, masters, and artists. - You get PLR from people like Aristotle, Charles Dickens, Napoleon Hill, Andrew Carnegie, Eugene Schwartz, Robert Collier, Buster Keaton... or Leonardo Da Vinci. 5. Again, in ANY niche, the better the content, the more money you make. - John Reese (as many others) says: "...You can get millions of visitors, but today, in the web 2.0 age, if you don´t provide killer content, your business will die, and fast"... - SEO experts agree that: "The bottom line (of SEO and traffic) is, the better the content, the more backlinks and better rankings you will have, more targeted visitors, and better conversions"... Better conversions = more money. - 6 figure bloggers always say that "the better the content, the more loyal readers and repeated visitors you will have"... More repeated visitors = more money. - Wealthy autobloggers always repeat the same thing: "Regarding content, Autoblogging is very much the same as manual blogging: if you put crap you will not receive much results... it´s always the quality of content you put on your blogs... that´s what really matters"... ... An every real expert will tell you the same: "The better the content you share, the better results you get"... * So my answer is YES, you WILL make money with this, if you use it... I hope this clear things up :) All the best, Kneb | |

+ Continuing with the "Can I make money with Public Domain" question: * Want examples? The world is full of them. Let´s take a look at a simple one: * Napoleon Hill´s "Think and Grow Rich": Who doesn´t know this book and its author?? It´s in the Public Domain... That means that you can use that book in ANY way you wish: re-sell it, re-publish it, make an adaptation, use the content as articles, make an updated version, use the content to feed your blogs, use quotes from the content, give it away for free to get leads, etc... * Do you know how many publishing companies and individuals have made (big) money just by republishing that same famous book? Yes... A LOT of them. And this is an ultra-competitive situation: hundreds of thousands of publishers... all of them publishing the same and famous book. But the above example is just the tip of the iceberg... there´s so much to it... * So my answer is YES, you WILL make money with this, if you use it... Public Domain content is the best content you can find about a topic, most of the times. --> To be more specific, there are 23 big markets, 23 proven niche markets, full of sub-niches, where Public Domain content is the best content you can find on earth for that niche... And you get access to millions of bestsellers = ready made products, that you can freely use, sell, re-sell, re-write, re-anything... Just with Public Domain books, there are millions of bestsellers waiting to be republished again... Easy money. This information has been "hidden" like a secret for ages... Using PD content is a killer and definitive advantage in the infoproduct and publishing business. Now you know. What you are going to do with it? If you do nothing, another entrepreneur will do it. They are doing it right now, while you are reading this... I hope this clear things up a bit more :) All the best, Kneb |

I just approved my first book at Amazon and it's for sale now. ![]() I'll wait until the thumbnail starts showing, and then if it's ok I can provide a link to the book with a discount code set up. I wouldn't earn anything, but you would have to pay Amazon's fees, of course. The book price would end up being $6.99, plus shipping. Anyway, I want to make sure that I'm not stepping on any toes first, and that it won't cause any issues anywhere. |

I was asked a very good question that I would like to share:
That's basically it, and now that it's ready my whole job is to figure out how to market it. There was no author for this book, so I labeled my company as the author. For my other book that I just ordered the proof of, I gave proper credit to the authors and my company is only the publisher. | |

If you've wondered how to use public domain content, then check this out... I'm creating a site and could really use some extra stuff to get people coming to the site, and encourage them to tell their friends about it. I stopped by one of my favorite public domain sites and did a quick search. Within 3 pages of search results, I found 17 different books that I can use to help my site. I haven't determined what exactly I'm going to do with them, but I know that some of them will be uploaded to Amazon for self-publishing. Some of them will be used to expand my site and give it more content. I will also use some to just give away as free pdf's, with my site and amazon book information spread throughout them. Not only do I now have an awful lot excellent content, but I also have some great pics from these books too. |

I haven't been on the forum for a while but I just checked in to read this thread. Dennis in answer to your question. Yes and No. I have been doing the IM thing for about 6 months now. I have almost completely given up on it. I haven't look at my sites in about a month. I've decided that traditional IM doesn't really work with me. I ran into Kneb's other thread about 6 months ago. I built several sites with PD content and still have not made a dime. I then took a couple different approaches, more along the lines of what Bishop is doing. I published several books. I didn't sell one copy. My fault because I didn't market them, but I didn't intend to do marketing in the first place. I really wanted to see what they would do first on their own. Bishop I just checked and after three months I sold my first book. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I have 6 or 7 titles that I just need to change the formatting and then I can have them published if I decide to. I then made the switch to electronic format. I have been doing so so with this. I am more interested in residual income than selling one or two products. In my niche I seem to have found a way to do this. I am not making a ton of money, but I am making money just about everyday. I have been doing this about a month. Most importantly though my sales are consistantly growing. My goal is to replace my income in the next 6 months. 12 months is more realistic but I am pushing for 6 months. I think that part of the reason for my lack of success is due to my niche. My expertise is in Religion and I am just not passionate enough about any other niche to make it work. I doubt that anyone else using PD would be as unsuccesful in IM as I have been if you put the work into it. One thing that I can attest to is that I had no overnight success. I have had many frustrastions along the way. I jsut stuck with it long enough to see results. So in answer to your question Dennis, no I am not wealthy yet but yes I have made some money and will continue to pursue PD. | |

I am only using selling on the Kindle at the moment. There are other devices ebooks can be sold for (mobipocket, sony ebook) but it is hard enough to learn how to format for one device. Eventually I will grow into these and other markets. The Kindle is a hard market to crack. If it is PD it is probably already offered for the Kindle. Sometimes there are dozens and dozens of the same title for sale or free on Amazon. All of my blogs were failures, and still are. Actually they were great learning curves though. I intend to start building wordpress blogs again, specificaly to draw attention to my Kindle books. I am just waiting until I have more titles available for sale on the Kindle. Eventually I will also build a "how to" blog to self publish on the Kindle. |

Yes... that´s right. That´s what we are talking about: FREE (but killer) CONTENT, FOREVER... Content is King, and it IS the basis of your business and your traffic. And the Public Domain is just the bigger source for quality content. And it´s free for the taking... ;) | |

Here's an idea of one thing you can do... https://www.createspace.com/3377109 I did this with the self-publishing through Amazon's Createspace service. The cover was created using their cover creator, which is an online utility. Something like this I can take around to some local bookstores to see if they're interested in selling it. The price for self-publishing? It's free until you order your proof copy. That costs a price, depending on how many pages the book has, and if it's color or black and white. This book costs around $6.50 to print, which is how much the proof copy costs, plus about $6 shipping. If it looks good, then you approve it and it's ready for publishing. You can direct people to your E-Store and make sales immediately. If it doesn't look right, then you edit your files, re-upload, and order a new proof copy. As soon as it's ready, then you approve it and start selling. I don't think it gets any cheaper than that for self-publishing your own books. You can be online with a book for less than $20. |

I think it's great that you're starting to see some success. I hope you don't mind all the questions, but I like to try and pull as much info from the successful people as I can. ![]() If you don't mind, also, I'd like to ask how much effort you put into the books before uploading them. Did you read through them and change any formatting, maybe bold the chapter headings, or anything? Or did you just copy into an editor and save them as pdf's, then upload them? Thanks again for stopping by, you've given me and many other people a little more hope that it truly can be done (not that I needed any, but it certainly does raise my spirits to see somebody else have success). | |

No problem at all. I got the Creatspace idea from you a few months ago in Knebs old thread. As far as Kindle sales go its hard to track. Once your book is ready you submit it to be published to Amazon. They will tell you 12-72 hours to have it published on their site. This is more like 3-10 days. Also your book can get lost in the process. One of mine has been lost for about a month. Support is almost nonexistent, and what they do offer usually doesn't help much. If you have any questions you can post them in the forum and hope that one of the other publishers sees it and helps you out. It is really frustrating to get through the learning curve. Once you get a basic understanding of the process though it becomes a lot easier. Unfortunately you can't just upload your createspace pdf and start selling. That would be too easy. Your file has to be in a document format. I use word. The biggest reason is font size. A kindle can change the font size of your book just like in a document. The Kindle will automatically adjust the text the same as a word processor will do when you change font size. A PDF is like a picture. Therefore you can zoom in, but that won't do you any good when you are trying to read on the Kindle. Formating takes a ton of time. Most of your time will be spent here. I have spent alot more than 24 hours formatting a single book. I proofread the entire text. I make sure that the font is readable on the Kindle. I do use bold and other things at the beggining of each chapter. Also you must create a Table of contents with hyperlinks. If you are selling a 500+ page book, It is a real pain to flip through the pages to try and find something. If you don't give your customers a properly formatted book, they will leave bad reviews which will not help your sales very much. Even worse they can request a refund from your book. It's hard to keep track of sales on Amazon. Last month I sold about a book a day. This month I am about 1 and a half sales per day. I am more interested in long term sales than short term. I am trying to build a residual income of sorts. So I am more interested in what a book that was published last month, will do this month or next month. When I publish a new book I usually don't have any sells within the first 24 hours. Then all of the sudden I have a handfull of sales. It seems that there are people out there just waiting for you to publish a book that they want. After this initial sales period everything slows down. It seems like it takes about a month to for your sales to finally taper off and then give you some consistency. | |

Well, that´s awesome. 1 sale a day is a GREAT start point... Then the next month 1,5 sales a day... You are starting a killer residual income source, so just automate and tweak the system monthly. So thanks for sharing. Kindle is an easy but great source of residual income, and for the long term. It´s young and fresh, and easy to penetrate. I will reveal some Kindle insights in the next posts. There are many ways you can setup residual streams with Kindle, and not just from sales... : ) | |

That would be great Kneb. I have meant to put links in the end of my books to other similar titles that I offer. Other than that I don't have any other ideas. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. | |

One question: How do you go about building a residual income from Kindle sales. Do you just pump out book after book and go for sheer volume? Is there a way to get more sales from existing books? | |

Ok, let´s talk about Kindle then: Kindle Residual Income, Part 1 Note: I can´t give out all the secrets from my Elite Coaching membership, but I can share the basics and some cool funky nuggets : ) 1. Kindle is the EASIER way to publish your content online. 2. You leverage on Amazon´s (huge) traffic. 3. Kindle is the hottest device for readers all over the world right now. Kindle 2.0 was featured on Oprah´s show, if you know what this means... 4. Kindle users are AVID READERS. They buy lots of Kindle books. They can buy a book and start reading in less than a minute. 5. You can publish ANY content that is in the Public Domain. We are talking about at least 85/90 millions of ready-made books for you to sell. 6. You can also publish YOUR own content, and that includes any derivative work made by you. If you have my Book, you know what I´m talking about. 7. You can publish also your PLR stuff. 8. Never publish crap or average content. Publish only killer and truly informational content. Or just stick to the classics (there´s no crap in classics). That´s why I always recommend to go first with PD (versus PLR), because PD content has a high-quality rate of about 80/90%, while PLR is just the opposite (80/90% of crap). 9. GO with the tested 23 Niches + The Classics Niche. The Classics niche includes any bestseller (fiction, novels, biographies, usually) in the history of books, from Gutenberg´s Bible to 1963... Examples of Classics? Aristotle, Plato, Cervantes, Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Longfellow, Kant, Descartes, Jules Verne, etc... Those have made billions to publishing companies since the beginning. Of course, you can find lots of new niches in the Public Domain, and some of them are real gold (I share most of them to my Elite members). 10. Never quit because a book is already published You can present books in new and different ways. (think Cover design and added pictures, to begin with). Read again the sections from my Book about the different ways to use and present PD stuff. 11. Secret not available (yet). 12. Let´s talk now about the 23 money makers and fully tested Niches Those are BIG markets, you already know. And let me tell you: the bigger the better (those who tell you the opposite are liars). As you go through the list, you will find that you can split every niche in many sub-niches (many = 20/50/100s). So just find those PD books (as-is) and publish them on Kindle, as easy as that. You can publish entire categories inside a niche. 13. Then we have the other way. Your derivative works, your mixes Let´s be creative and compile, mix and improve the already available PD stuff. You can take all the work of an author and compile a "best of" new edition. You can take a highly successful bestseller and create your new "improved version", adding new content, step-by-step tips, pictures and graphics, etc... depending on the nature of the original book. And of course: (secret not available, yet). Re-read my Book again, because it´s all on there. "The only limit is your own imagination" 14. Title is the 1st thing a visitor sees This is your main headline. Treat it like you best sales weapon, because it is. Take a look at bestsellers titles, and you will find some rules to follow. Or publish the same under 2 different titles to track sales and compare. 15. Your sub-title is the 2nd thing a visitor sees This can be your best weapon when your title is already published by others. Craft a killer "attetion-getter" sub-title and watch your sales really jump. 16. Your cover is the 3rd thing a visitor sees I can´t emphasize this enough: YOUR COVER IS YOUR MAIN SALES AGENT People are VISUAL by nature (whether consciously and unconsciously) This is something usually forgotten by internet marketers (80% of them) but well known by the publishing and advertising (offline) industry. Step by Step Cover Science: (secret not available, yet) 17. The Marketing a. Create killer Kindle Store. b. Leverage on Amazon´s traffic, but also use the usual online traffic strategies. c. Make your Kindle books viral, butterfly style. - Put a link to your Store inside every Kindle your publish. - The main goal of your Kindle Store is LIST BUILDING. Setup things around this. - Setup your Kindle Squeeze page and offer free Kindle stuff to get opt- in members to your Kindle list. - Offer free Kindle books if customers refer people (TAF and similar). - Setup your own affiliate program, (instant paypal comissions: non-IM people love it). - Always promote your other related books inside your Kindles. - Engage people to send you traffic (contests, free gifts, coupons). - Bribe people (ethically) to post reviews. - Include quotes and extracts of your other (related) books. d. Secret not available (yet) e. Test with different prices and offers. f. Do your own Kindle Market Research. 18. How to craft your Kindle book (what your buyers get) a. After the sale is made, your main goal is to provide a GREAT PRODUCT, that is, a great read experience for your customer (and we are not talking just about the content = the book itself). b. Do your work first and edit the book properly, include different fonts and different font sizes, and make sure the fonts you are including are visually appealing and readable. Don´t present the books as the usual "dry" PDF, but as the industry standards. c. Include related pictures and graphics of high quality. d. Strategy not available (yet). 19. Killer Content = Traffic = Money The more (killer) content you pubish, the more traffic you get, the more money you made. Notice than the better the content, the more money and better buisness you get. This is common sense, but we all know that common sense is not a sign of our times : ) That´s not all of it, but it´s a great (smart) start. Of course, the more you can automate all of this and outsource it, the better. So the first thing is to mindmap the entire process, and then just delegate the grunt work. Setup once, profit forever (my favorite system : ) Kindle is a new fresh marketplace, full of residual income opportunities. So get involved now. : ) | |

Hello Kneb, Is there any way to have this thread and any previous thread (if any) in PDF form inside the download area? The reason is quite obvious, but I want to say it, you and several people are providing a lot of information that make our purchase even better. Thanks, Efren |

Hey Kneb. Just wondering when the last update was. I purchased about a year ago and think that I got life time updates. Is that right?
