The 1 Day Product Creator – An Honest Review

1 Day Product Creator – An Honest Review

When
I was looking around for reviews of 1 Day Product Creator I couldn’t find any
decent ones so I thought I would put this review together for anyone who is
looking to get a better idea of what this product is about before they purchase
it. This however is simply my review of the product; if you want to check it
out for yourself you can go here now
1 Day Product Creator

The
1 Day Product Creator is the brainchild of Aaron Danker who is a world renowned
product creation expert himself, so I was willing to listen to what he had to
say about making money in this section of internet marketing. Aaron has made
nearly all of his own income online from product creation and he is now simply
sharing his easy to follow steps with other marketers out there so they can
follow in his footsteps.

One
of the first things that struck me when I came across 1 day product creator was
that this whole “product creation thing” was something that I really needed to
pay attention to if I was to make any serious money online and the reasons for
this are simple. When you create your own products you can harness the power of
all the affiliates out there in the market to sell for you while you go about
creating more products to increase your income, whereas if you do affiliate
marketing alone you are solely reliant on your own efforts all the time, thus
limiting your income and growth potential compared to product creation.

The
secret of making money here is to turn around quality products as quickly as
possible and this is what Aaron helps you do. It’s no secret that the internet
is going in a multi media direction, so instead of just showing you how to
create an eBook, the first module in 1 day product creator shows you how to get
started making high quality video products in a quick and professional manner.

After
looking at module 2 in the course I realised that the copy writing process was
even more important than the product itself and how I could use simple
headlines and word combinations to maximise my sales. The copywriting area was
covered in great detail and I found myself losing the fear I had of writing
sales copy for my own products.

Getting
traffic and building a list is also something that I had looked at on and off
over the years and I knew it was important but no one had really showed me how
to do it successfully so I was ready to take full advantage of the second and
third modules in the course that showed me new techniques on how to get more
traffic than I had previously experienced and how to build an effective squeeze
page so I could capture my prospects details and market to them later on.

Successful
product creation is largely about getting other people to do the work for you
while you go about expanding your business and this idea is covered in more
detail in module 5 where you are given the blueprints to effective outsourcing
techniques that you can use to grow your business.

What
Aaron has done here is to effectively condense down into easy to follow steps
something which I had previously thought was a long drawn out complicated
process.

I
now feel that I can take on the gurus at their own game and deliver high spec
profit pulling products to my own customers at the same time.

Public Domain Material Part Four

Documents

It is fairly incomprehensible the amount of formerly copyrighted material that is available for general usage and while we touched on a few with the audio books earlier, there are many others that haven’t been reformatted to some sort of audio.

These are easier to work with, as you can arrange these in categories much the same way you could with the audio books – but there is so much more freedom. While you could have maybe half of the works of Louisa May Alcott available in an audio format, it is possible for you to have her entire collected works available.

Manually

Here’s the trick: even if you don’t and can’t find it on the internet, there is nothing stopping you from taking the recently published material and typing it all out. As long as the work is in the public domain, it doesn’t matter if it’s been published recently, it’s still public domain and you can use it.

Documents are a little bit tricky, though, because you could spend your time making a TXT file for your package and someone can just come along and copy that text file into one of their packages for their profit.

To combat that problem, all you have to do is create a non-editable file that will display your document, such as a PDF. When you create the file, make sure you brand it by putting a title at the top with the original author’s name and a link to your website at the bottom, with maybe even your name or a company name.

Partially Automated

If typing out pages and pages of content seems rather time consuming to you, then you’re not alone. It is absolutely time consuming and can be tedious. Unless you’re just an ultra-fast typist with all the time in the world, you’re going to want a faster way to do it.

The best way to do this is with a scanner that has an automated document feeder attached. It’s a thing at the top of a scanner that will feed sheets through automatically and even flip them over for you in the process so it’ll copy both sides. After you do this, you’ll have tons of images of the book on your computer.

Having images doesn’t really help, though, because you’re pretty much at the same point as just having a physical book to copy from. This isn’t entirely true, though, as you are in a very advantageous position now. You can let your computer do the rest of the work while you sit back and wait for it to process.

Some scanners come with this particular software, others don’t, but you need an optical character recognizer.

It is a program on your computer that you can use to interpret images (in particular, images from your scanner) as words. Then you can take literally whole books, rip them apart, place them in the feeder, start the scan, and then let the OCR process the entire book.

If you have set it up correctly, you’ll be able to just walk away while all of this is happening and go do something else. After it’s done, you can the documents it has made, combine them into one if you need to, and then open the new document into a program that will automatically check for spelling and grammar errors.

A program that would do that would be Microsoft Office, but that costs a lot of money. A good substitute for that if you don’t have the resources would be Open Office. After you import your document, you can then edit it, export them as a PDF to protect them, and then make them a part of your packages.

Open Office doesn’t natively support PDF export; you’ll have to find a plugin for it on their website.

Other Ideas

There are other ways to make money with the public domain content and one very good way is to make a membership site by offering collected instructional works to members who want some very good information.

You may have to update some of the information but for the most part if you’re working with fundamental concepts, then information would still be useful today.

Just outright selling your packages is good if you want to do it on eBay. You can literally sell just about anything on eBay as long as you have the right to sell it and if it is a physical product.

If you wanted to offer a physical book to people, then you could always approach LuLu.com as a way to self-publish. They offer a way for you to do what is called “Publish on Demand”, so that you can publish books one at a time and pay one at a time so you’re not bogged down with a lot of extra stock.

Also, with the “Publish on Demand” setup, Amazon offers a similar service and is ideal for people who have eReaders (digital downloads) as well as people who want a physical book.

Public Domain Swipe File

Here is a page out of my personal swipe file of some of the hottest titles available within the Public Domain:

Too big for this email me for the ebook download address

These are titles that are still very relevant in today’s society, and are ‘easy sellers’ in terms of being some of the highest quality writers found within the public domain.

To locate additional public domain titles in your market, use websites such as www.Alibris.com to enter in keyword phrases and search for books in the public domain from 1963 and before (remembering that certain material from 1926 to 1963 may have updated their copyright, so always verify that first by checking the copyright date).

You can do this by visiting the copyright database at http://www.copyright.gov/records/cohm.html

If a copyright has been renewed, you will see a “RE” in the registration number such as:

Public Domain Part Three

There are a lot of ways someone can make money with public domain and now that you know where to get your material you need to know how to take that free stuff from the internet and make money with it!

Public Domain Part Two

Before I begin I should point out that I have had to edit out a lot of material. If you would like a copy of the unexpurgated (I had to get that word in) version of the book then drop me a line and I will email you either a copy or the link to where you can download it.

Chapter 3: Your Journey Into The Public Domain

There are countless public domain resources online, including directories and databases that house categories for all public domain material and media, from images to audio files.

Many of these websites also require a fee, either in terms of membership or on an individual purchase basis. Whether you are interested in exploring the public domain yourself, or you would rather take advantage of one of these services, this chapter is devoted to helping you begin your journey into the public domain.

Your first step is to determine what type of public domain material you are interested in.

Are you considering using content-based material, including poetry, novels, short stories or plays, or are you primarily interested in images, portraits, graphics and paintings?

There is also audio, midi and even lyrical material available within the public domain as well.

Once you have a good idea as to what type of content you are interested in finding, you can easily begin your search, keeping one last thing in mind:

When you begin exploring the public domain, you have two different choices. You can either obtain public domain directly or indirectly.

When going about it directly, you are pulling material out of the public domain for personal evaluation. You are responsible for verifying your right to use the material, however the benefit to direct search is that you are not required to comply with any outside restrictions.

When utilizing an online search database or directory service, many of these public domain resources require that you comply with their license restrictions, meaning that because they host the images, content or material, they are able to attach additional restrictions on the material, often minimizing your ability to resell it or even modify it yourself.

This can become quite confusing, after all, isn’t the whole point of using public domain mainly focused on your ability to use free content material however you wish?

That is the true spirit of the public domain, however because these services spend a lot of time and money researching, extracting and hosting the material for you, they are justified in requiring that you read and follow their guidelines. While not every resource site will restrict you in your ability to modify or resale the material, make sure that you read the fine print prior to downloading and using the content.

For example, the Digital Gallery, applies specific restrictions on the material from the public domain that they host and distribute.

While you can always find the SAME public domain material if you search directly yourself, by using their service you must comply with their requests.

Keep this in mind when planning out how you intend to use public domain and make sure that these restrictions (if any) do not affect your plans.

My personal strategy is to use the online services as a guideline. They help me find titles, media names, file types and with that ready-made research, I can create a swipe file of material that I am interested in.

I then go directly into the public domain and extract this content myself, so that I am not restricted by anyone’s guidelines.

For public domain imagery, I recommend browsing through the Library of Congress, at http://www.loc.gov/library/libarch-digital.html

You will find everything from paintings to postcards up for grabs. Just make sure that you verify the time stamp as having been created prior to 1978 unless you are going to personally verify that the material is copyright free (if created after 1978).

The Digital Gallery also provides an abundance of imagery based material, carrying over 1.5 million public domain images:

http://www.digitalgallery.nypl.org

When it comes to finding documents, including books, poetry, screenplays, scripts and even novels, the Gutenberg Project is infamous for their vast collection of public domain works. Their database search is user-friendly, and their collection is always expanding to include additional material.

You can begin exploring the public domain by visiting their site at http://www.gutenberg.org , or by reading their introduction guide at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

The Gutenberg Project is such a popular public domain website simply because of their organized collections and ease of use.

You can begin searching through recent downloads, recent updates, or by title, category or topic.

You can also choose to volunteer to be part of the Gutenberg Project team where you can evaluate public domain books, offer proofreading services or even reformat material into new digital works.

The public domain doesn’t just offer content in the English language either. If you are interested in catering to other languages or countries, you can often find literature produced in Chinese, Hungarian, Polish, Mayan and even Russian, or you can download English titles and hire a translator so you can penetrate new markets easily.

You can also use their built in internal search engine to locate books based on specific topics or categories to speed up your search.

You could also search between 1923 and 1963 paying notice to the fact that a small portion of work may be copyright protected, and require further research to evaluate your right to use it.

Note: Only a small percentage of material created between 1923 and 1963 contains copyright protection, so don’t overlook this time period altogether. Just keep in mind that you should never automatically assume that the material is available for use and spend a bit of extra time evaluating material from this specific timeframe.

iBiblio, available at http://www.ibiblio.org is a fantastic tool for exploring the public domain quickly, easily and at no cost. It offers a very clean, simplistic search process allowing you to easily locate hundreds of books and images.

Bookfinder is yet another valuable resource for finding public domain content and is available at http://www.BookFinder.com

With Bookfinder, you can easily enter in a book title or author’s name to locate all material associated with your search query. You can also choose to search through recent searches (conducted by other users on the site) or based on category to get a good idea of what is popular.

For example, if you were interested in searching for information relating to the “dog training” industry, you would enter in “dog training”.

Note: If you know the author’s name or a specific book title that you are interested in, you can enter it in the search box as well. Otherwise just using keywords will quickly reveal hundreds of available books and material.

Now, before you hit the Search button, within the publication year menu, enter in “Publication Before 1923″. This will ensure that you only search for material that is free of any copyright and readily available within the public domain.

That’s it! You will have an incredible collection at your fingertips and just by using pre-defined search queries that limit the search dates, you can eliminate any need to conduct further research verifying a copyright date or publication date.

Just search for material prior to 1923 and you’re good to go!

Whenever you find public domain that you are interested in using, you can choose to download it directly from any of these distribution agents, however one thing to keep in mind is that you will be required to pay a nominal fee for this material as it’s being researched and collected for you.

The great thing about this however, is that with sites like BookFinder.com and AbeBooks.com they’ve done all of the work for you. They not only research the public domain regularly to locate additional material for all available topics, but in many cases they create a digital version of the material for you!

Imagine just how much easier it is to create ebooks that you can turn around and resell, if 100% of the work has been done for you, including verification of the material being free of copyright AND the document or manuscript being transformed into digital format.

These services will save you an incredible amount of time while also ensuring that you are only using public domain content that is freely available, eliminating any potential problems from mistakenly using copyright protected work.

Another chapter another day another dollar as the saying goes.

‘Till next time
