All my life, I’ve had an intense curiosity about the world around me. I’ve wanted to understand why things were the way they were, what they looked like “before,” and how they looked though the eyes of others. This insatiable curiosity led to the development of several traits within me that define who I am today: A deep love of history and the unknown, a strong connectedness to culture and a passion for art in all forms. It is from these perspectives that I am writing this book. Throughout this book, I will also explore and reveal ways to connect with the creative passions of others in ways that will allow you to adapt and change them into new, hybrid creations that will become the foundation for creating new streams of income, both for you personally, and for your business.
From time immortal, man has sought to express himself creatively, emotionally and expressively using all means from the world around him. From the cave paintings at Lascaux, France to the 3D digital creations of today, art in all its expressions has described and defined the world in which we live (and even the worlds we dream about) from the unique perspective of its creator. One of my primary goals with this book is to help you rediscover that artist within (and not for the reasons you might think). Of course, I’ll also be sharing research methods for finding these treasures, product creation styles and strategies, marketing techniques for image-based products and much more!
I felt that it was necessary to address this arena of the Public Domain because it has been completely overlooked by most Infopreneurs. Most marketers are quick to jump on the information bandwagon, but lag way behind when it comes to working with images. Honestly, there are some amazing opportunities that exist with using Public Domain images, and it’s my intention to explore some of those opportunities in great detail in this book.

Over the past few years, I have spent hundreds and thousands of hours researching, testing and writing about all the amazing ways we can use the proven content of the Public Domain to create all types of information products…from printed books and e-books to audios, videos, calendars and so much more. With my background in graphic design, one of my favorite areas of product development using Public Domain content has been in the vast arena of using images. My initial explorations ultimately led me to the creation of my first e-book on working with images, the Easy Money Picture Project, where I shared my best research and product development case studies for making money with Public Domain images! Since writing Easy Money Picture Project, I’ve continued to research, experiment and test even more ways to create profitable products with Public Domain images. The results have been pretty amazing. With all the new image sites, software options, product ideas and selling strategies, it made sense to publish a brand-new, up-to-date book on the topic. The purpose of this new book is two-fold: First, to explore and reveal ways to connect with the creative passions and art of those from the past; and second, to use those “proven” works as the foundation of a new fusion of art-based products that will create new streams of income, both for you personally, and for your business. Of course, I’ll also be sharing research methods for finding these treasures, product creation styles and strategies, marketing techniques for image-based products and much more!
