Create Products For The Yachting Crowd

Yachting has a long history and yacht racing actually began in the late 1800’s.
Yachting Wrinkles; A Practical And Historical Handbook Of Valuable Information For The Racing And Cruising Yachtsman by A J Kenealy and published in 1899 details the early beginnings of the sport of Yacht racing and is still by today’s standards a wonderfully well written and engaging book.
While the basics of yachting are included in this book, including types of yachts and rules and regulations of the sport, there are also some very interesting chapters that while dated may prove to be valuable content for history and yachting buffs. These chapters include Etiquette of yachting, insurance, and the cost of yachting. Can you imagine paying your captain $25 to win a race?
In addition to some wonderful history on yachting as well as a very articulate explanation of the sport of yachting, Yachting Wrinkles offers a wealth of images – around 80. Some of these images are of large yachts on expansive rolling seas while others are more detailed images of the inner workings of yachts.
Removing these images from the copy in the book - you could repurpose them in any number of products. Take them to a printer to have them enlarged to make prints and lithographs. Use the images for a coffee table book on the history of yacht racing or use them as graphics for other products like playing cards, t-shirts, totes, pillows and calendars.
You can add to your collection of public domain yacht photos by simply visiting archives.org and searching their text files for the keyword “yacht”. You’ll find around 140 results, many of which also have wonderful yachting images.
The text of Yachting Wrinkles can be modified to update some of the information or it can be kept as is for its nostalgic and historical value.
Yachting definitely has a narrow niche, not too many people can afford it, so to market to this group of people you’ll need to put together a spectacular product.
On the other hand, a book full of yachting images lets those who cannot, dream and live vicariously through the images. In short, Yachting Wrinkles offers an abundance of opportunity to create profitable and professional quality products.
Is This Copyright Protected or Not?

I’ve just run across one of those cases of “Is this copyright protected or not”? That little tiny bit of wording at the bottom of a website that says everything on this website is copyright protected will stop most Public Domain content researchers dead in their tracks. But… is everything “really” protected under the copyright laws???
First… let’s review the website I found last night. Christian Digital Images - Historical Illustrations & Religious Stock Imagery & Clipart - www.christiandigitalimages.com
BTW - this site uses a piece of software called Lightbox Photo Gallery to manage all these great images. Not cheap, but if you are going to sell public domain images at the level these guys are… something to think about.
Logan and I agree that this site is making money under the radar. They have mastered the art of finding a niche and filling it. The images are gorgeous and religious art is used in many different industries. I am purchasing some of this artwork to use for one of my businesses.
Because all of the images posted on the website are watermarked, I must purchase the down-loadable image to get a high resolution non-watermarked image.
But… It says right in the footer that the content has all rights reserved and if you read the EULA statement it says that all content remain the property of Christian Digital Images. Plus… They are a Canadian company… so their laws are different than those of U.S. companies. Pretty pictures on this site… but can they be used by us Public Domain Treasure Hunters???
You bet… the EULA agreement covers everything that they have written and their own branding graphics within copyright. Also… you can’t just purchase 100 images, throw them up on a website and sell them as a package. (This could be disputed, but it’s in their terms of service, so why bother rocking the boat)?
What you can do with images from this website…
- Print them as posters
- Use the images for a store front through CafePress.com
- Use the images for websites
- The images can be used in books, digital or hard copy.
Make your own products using the images (I wont even go into the hundreds of ideas you could use these gorgeous images for)!!
One of their terms of website use is pretty funny. They don’t want anyone linking to them or using some of their information to “advertise” their website. Yes… I was surprised as well. Who doesn’t want free advertising? Well, they are out of luck, I linked to them anyway.
I just can’t tell you how excited I am with this website filled with hidden “treasure”. You really do need to spend a bit of time flipping through the pictures. I’ll bet you come up with several ideas where you can use these images that don’t have a thing to do with religion in a direct manner. And… don’t worry, after you pay for an image, it’s yours. The “is this copyright protected” question has been answered!

You have probably heard it before… but it’s true. You need to sell your own product online. If you want to build credibility and trustworthiness you absolutely must have at least one best product to sell online.
What do I mean by Best Product? I mean the best product you can possible make… that is uniquely yours… that gives people confidence in you.
Most of you know I sell my own products… like -faux painting videos - Using Public Domain for new products - coaching. I am considered an expert in these fields. So… eventually I got the picture that to become an expert online… I had to prove it. I needed my own brand of products.
Now… what you may or may not know… is that I have lots of other products that I sell in obscure little niches… that have nothing to do with being THAT Painter Lady or That Public Domain Diva.
The process of finding these little obscure niches and becoming an expert (using a pseudonym) is another subject… but needless to say… I needed a product to sell that included expert information. The problem was… I was not an expert in these little niches. So… how was I going to create a good product to sell online?
First… I began to search for ways to create a product in a niche where I had little or no experience. I came up with a really easy solution… that has worked like a charm.
Creating useful and interesting products that someone actually needs and wants to buy is the trick to building multiple income streams… without spending a lot of time… and that is 100% legal is often a challenge.
Did you know that their are thousands and thousands of books available that are in the Public Domain?
What is Public Domain? It means the material no longer ( or never was ) under any copyright protection. What does that mean to you? It means that if you can find a book written about your subject that is in the Public Domain… you can use that product any way you wish.
Simply put, you can use this insider secret to instantly create ebooks, manuals, articles, reports or any other type of information products in a snap. In fact, once you figure this out, you’ll be able to tap into millions and millions of pages of material you can use for anything you want…without asking permission or paying a dime in fees.
- Create an ebook
- Use the content for web pages
- Create an audio book by reading the content
You get the idea.
