Putting public domain content to work basically involves four steps:
1.Goals. What do you want to accomplish? Simply keep in contact or motivate fence sitters to act right now? Your answer will influence
amount of information you need, as will your market’s information needs.
2.Locate. The next step is to locate appropriate public domain content. This involves research that can be done at your computer, at any hour of
day or night.
3.Verify. You’ll want to protect yourself by making sure that
materials you have selected are indeed copyright free.
4.Adapt. Unless you are going to reprint a book or government pamphlet, you will want to scan or transcribe it, and reformat it into
format that works best and suites your marketing needs.
No longer do you have to write every word of your marketing. Information in
public domain permits you to market more efficiently, so you have more time to provide your unique products and services.
Public domain material allows you to save time and money while creating an ongoing stream of credible customer communications.
