If you want to make a full time living or even a part time income out
of old books, first of all you have got to find physical copies of
them.
There are many avenue’s available to help you search for your
ancient book of choice and all of them are extremely simple to carry
out.
One of the least time consuming, but most comprehensive
ways is to do a search on ebay under Books Comics and Magazines,
Antiquarian and Collectible. Just type in “Old Book” in the search box
and you will be returned a truly phenomenal amount of answers, many
showing Historic Books up for sale.
A fair quantity of these
will be from pre 1923 in the USA or more than 70 years to the year end,
since the death of the Author if from the United Kingdom, which means
they are in the public domain and legally yours to use as you like.
It’s
fair to say that a large proportion of them will be of no use to you,
but go through the list and make a note of all the books that you are
interested in, just to check that you have not missed out something
that could prove very useful to you or indeed turn out to be a real gem
in your chosen niche.
Narrow down your list by discarding those
that do not seem worthwhile and place an ebay “watch this item” on the books
that appear to be of the right calibre for your chosen niche.
If
the particular book you are watching on ebay seems to “jump out at you” as a
fantastic find then make sure to take a note of the end time for the
auction, but do not bid on it straight away as this will possibly bring
it to the attention of a rival buyer or number of prospective historic
book purchasers all looking for a similar market, which in turn will
have the effect of driving up the final price if it is an auction
format item.
Far better to wait until nearer the auction end, therefore reducing these possibilities.
Of
course if the ancient book you want is on sale as a Buy It Now format,
then you obviously want to snap it up immediately in order to stop
anyone else getting to your prize first. Because as you now realise
this particular old book is going to be your main tool in creating your
very own new work of art, which you can resell over and over again as
many times as you like in order to give you a recurring lifetime income.
So just to recap:
1 DECIDE WHAT NICHE MARKET you want to create a saleable work in.
2 USE EBAY AS YOUR RESEARCH TOOL for a physical copy of an old book in your niche market.
3 SEARCH EBAY under Books Comics and Magazines, Antiquarian and Collectible, plus (Illustrated) if you wish, etc, etc.
4 USE THE SEARCH TERM “Old Book” or “Old Books”
5 IF YOU WANT TO DEFINE YOUR SEARCH INTO YEARS ,.. for example:”1850 to 1900″ or something similar.
6 WHEN YOUR LIST IS RETURNED discard anything that looks totally irrelevant.
7 MAKE SURE THE BOOK YOU CHOOSE IS DEFINITELY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN and suitable for converting into your new product.
8 WATCH (IF AUCTION) or buy (IF BUY IT NOW) any books that definitely fit your niche requirements.
9
WHEN YOU ARE SURE OF YOUR BOOK CHOICE – BUY IT AND TAKE DELIVERY – then
get excited about the new product you are about to create for an ever
increasing income.
