How to make money online with public domain pictures and images?

More often than not, when you’re mulling over – or in the idea phase, of a new information project, you think about writing, audio or video. Those product creation methods have always worked very well for me, but the other day I ran into a new eBook that sent me spinning into ‘idea universe’ with its fresh and ambitious approach to product creation.

And, in case you haven’t already guessed, this new approach to product creation is none other than using the magic of Public Domain images.

http://hurleypix.com/pictureproject

My good friend, Tony Laidig (the Public Domain Expert) told me that he has made thousands of dollars selling copies of maps, photos and more. And I know he wasn’t kidding either. He proceeded to tell me about his buddy, George, who takes Public Domain images of Native Americans, prints them on leather and then sells the new ‘work of art’ for hundreds of dollars… And get this… he can’t keep the prints in stock.

Tony also told me about another guy is quietly making hundreds of dollars EVERY day selling image collections on eBay. Then there is the dude who’s making nearly $20,000 per month selling poster prints of Public Domain images.

So if you’ve been wondering how to make money online then this should open your mind to wild and wonderful possibilities…

Then Tony shared something about Public Domain images that dropped my jaw… there are millions… tens of millions of photos, fine art and illustrations available for you to use anyway you want! He’s not talking about Cafepress t-shirts and greeting cards here either (although you could create those if you wanted).

http://hurleypix.com/pictureproject

Tony just created a killer, new eBook called “Easy Money Picture Project” and he reveals strategies in the book that NO ONE else is willing to talk about. And here’s the thing… these image-based products actually sell so well that Tony has people e-mailing him to beg him NOT to tell anyone about their websites or their methods.

In the book, Tony shares over 90 websites (like the one I love that has over 1.3 million images on it in high-res) where you can find and download Public Domain images. He also tells you everything he has learned about using Public Domain images from his 20+ years experience working in the printing and publishing industries…

In the “Easy Money Picture Project” you will learn:

=> Where to find Public Domain images online and offline

=> What to do with Public Domain images once you’ve found them

=> How to profit from Public Domain images

=> Who your potential customers are and why

Some people talk theory about new ways of selling, but Tony speaks from experience. That’s what I like about him. (Plus he’s always happy to email me – no matter what time it is!) So if you want to be part of the huge and profitable ‘picture business’ but you haven’t yet got your own photos, or you want to know how to make money online using images, then this will be a godsend!

Enjoy!

The Challenge: You’ve got an ebook, ephotos, or series of ‘how to’ digital photography tips videos that you desperately want to sell on eBay…

You know that there’s 280+ MILLION buyers who are looking to buy products from eBay every single day, with roughly over 70,000 new buyers joining eBay every day… which just means eBay is an absolute GOLD MINE for you and me.

However…

Recently there was new changes to eBay… eBay basically said ‘you can’t sell ebooks anymore’ (and enforced a complete ban on selling digital items).

As soon as I heard about that I thought about the incredible opportunities that lay in waiting… And today we’re about to see one of these opportunities realized. It’s called Auction Acrobat and in a nutshell it automates the creation, packaging, and shipping of your CD/DVD’s…

You could be selling DVDs AS EASY as selling eBooks!

How does one sell info products on eBay?

Well, in my case, I’m considering using CDs and maybe even DVDs to package my products… (What other options are there?) :)

And let’s face it, when digital items are neatly packaged into tangible CD/DVD form, the value of these products goes way UP.

So, if you’re a photographer, artist or designer, then you could be easily putting your designs or photography onto a CD or DVD, and setting up the whole process on autopilot… Customer comes along, orders your photo screensavers CD, pays for it at Paypal, and your software takes care of the WHOLE ordering process…

Impressed yet?

You should be…

So… How To Make Money On eBay?

eBay Info-Products Are Still Good To Go, John Says!

The Evils of OilImage by Auzigog via FlickrI’ve HAD an ongoing interest in eBay for a while now, sold the occasional photo using my eBay CafePress method, and mulled over the very cool idea of selling e-photos too.

Then eBay pulled the plug on selling digital products from under our noses.

Of course, you can look at that and immediately SEE shining opportunity.

Just think of all the CD cases and DVD cover box design work a good designer or photographer could now get… After all, all those physical products are going to need some pretty pictures to make them stand out…

And if YOU’VE considering putting together a unique digital photography tips DVD, or wants to still sell e-photos and fast track your digital photography business using info-products (plus learn to be an eBay PowerSeller) then there’s still time…

Anyway…

Along comes John Thornhill to the rescue. John looks at the ‘problem’ and thinks it over for a night or two. On the third night he wakes up with the solution, and a brilliant one at that.

John thinks w-a-y outside the square and says ‘why not sell the digital product from your own site?‘ That’s right… deliver digital products from your OWN website (after you drive traffic from eBay!)

OK John, I’m impressed. You win. There is genius in simplicity.

And now he’s re-launched his own eBook Membership website that will show you exactly HOW to do this…

The whole kit is included… tutorials, videos, tools, even the kitchen sink…

And the best thing?

You get a massive $100 discount if you ACT now (before the price goes up on TUE 20th)

This special will only last for a few days, so if the link is the normal price, sorry!

It’s still worth while of course to learn HOW to set up your own website to sell photos, how to sell digital info products and that cool unique digital photography tips DVD project that you’ve been telling me all about!

Remember, eBay is where the people GO. And selling information is still as strong as it always was… Why not learn how to do it with an expert? :)

Sell Photography Lessons: 103 Sales And Counting

Photography lessons: ebook sales

Sell Photography Lessons: 103 sales +

Believe me, this is a HUGE learning experience for me as it hopefully will be for you!

Firstly let me say I am working on documenting exactly how I did this. The report that comes out of that will be gratis for you (free) so that you can take it and learn from this amazing experience. The tentative title is:

“How A Hippy, Meditating ‘Photo-Preneur’
Pulled In 103 Sales In 3 Days With
A $7 Niche Photo eBook That Almost
Anyone Can Easily Create…”

There you go.

So anyway, if you’ve been reading this sell photos blog you’d know that I offered my ‘eBay and CafePress Guide’ with 100% commission, plus 50% on the one time offer (OTO). The One Time Offer is exactly that. A sales page that appears only one time – at a special one time price – after the buyer has bought my initial (first) product…

Are you still with me?

Skip McGrath took the offer up and told his huge subscriber base about it. Scroll down on this page and you can see the little paragraph where he mentions my guide in his newsletter. Note his link to my sales page. That link is his unique reference link. That’s all YOU need. (Except your link will have your own Paypal email address on it).

Skip no doubt is a very HAPPY camper right now. After all, I gave him 100% on every $7 sale! The OTO was a different kettle of fish. I enjoyed quite a few of those sales, and Skip too. Plus there were LOTS of other ‘related’ sales but you’ll get to find out about that with the free report… As soon as I finish it.

The sales report below shows 64 sales… I haven’t got a recent screen grab. Quick totals – 103 sales and MANY one time offer sales… At one stage I could actually leave my email account open and watch as new sale notifications would appear, popping in to say hello…

Photography lessons: ebook sales

The bottom line is that YOU can do this too. You can promote or recommend my guide and earn 100% commission reasonably easily. To do so just go to my affiliate page to learn how:

Let’s keep the momentum happening…

Photography Tips: Your First Photo Niche Product Is This Easy…

7 dollar success

Sell Photos Photography tips: How do you easily create a simple photo niche product?

I thought I’d show you a great tool to use to create your first photo based product.

Now just imagine for a minute that you know a very excellent photographer who lives nearby. And you’ve been thinking how fantastically cool would it be if you could get this guy (or girl) to talk to you, and you could ask him/her a few questions…

And you know what? That part (the interview) is kinda the easiest part… Whether you do an audio recording or even email some questions, it’s just a matter of, well, going and doing it… and then compiling your words into a format that others can benefit from… (Usually a PDF document, like an eBook).

Of course, there’s also the initial research, writing the sales page, all the design, ongoing promotions, taking payments, getting others to promote your product too….

Did anyone say this would be easy?

I wouldn’t call it easy… BUT I would say that it’s worth it! Believe me. Once you’ve done all the ‘hard work’ then the joyful sounds of cash registers ringing (or something like that) will come a’rolling into your bank account or Paypal account for the next 2, 3 or 12 months (or years!)

7 dollar successAnyway, because I’m a HUGE fan of using other people’s knowledge, I recommend you to DO the same. I read, study and then I study again. When I’m ‘relaxing’ I’m listening to MP3s of marketing guys talk about online marketing methods… I’m listening to Jeff Johnson talk about community sites, I’m writing articles, I’m reading marketing blogs, participating in marketing forums….

OK, so I NEVER stop. But you don’t need to go to that extreme.

You just need to USE the right tools in the first place…

And here is a GREAT tool you can use to do that.

It’s Kevin Riley’s “Recipe For Success With $7 Secrets.” I have a bunch of Kevin’s other wacky and brilliant guides and I constantly dig into them to get what I need. For example, for my ‘eBay And CafePress Guide‘ which is a $7 eBook, I gobbled down a few of Kevin’s ideas from his ‘Recipe For Plucking Low Hanging Fruit From The Internet’ (download a free taster of that HERE) and numerous others from him…

Anyways… I’ll encourage you to the cows come home that if you decide to create your first photo niche product then consider creating a $7 product firstly. I’m not kidding! People buy these low priced products without batting an eyelid. Hey, after all, it’s only $7 dollars, right?

Plus a $7 product doesn’t need to be filled with 100+ pages of info… You can be ALL done in around 30 pages of solid content… Keep that in mind.

Plus you DON’T need to spend hours crying over the the right words and the perfect sales letter (sales page) either… Hey, it’s only $7, right? The sales page can be very SIMPLE. So…

Are you beginning to see how attractive a ‘low priced’ photo based niche product could be?

Kevin’s guide hands you a simple step-by-step plan…. There’s no denying this stuff takes work. BUT, Kevin’s guide steps you through the process… helps you set your goals, create a full product line, and develop your unique position in the marketplace… gives you tons of worksheets to help you plan it all out… ALL important stuff!

Enough! I’ve GOT to stop. I’m not writing a book here… :)

I know you’ve got the idea about what I’m talking about, right?

In a nutshell, start with a $7 product, and use a guide and solid blueprint to step you through the process. Kevin’s Recipe For Success rocks. Go try it!
