Check out this video from Jason Hamilton…

An example of a public domain book he’s selling on Amazon: The Faerie Queene Book 1

The original text was published in 1590.

Jason elaborates…

most of the work that I did for that public domain content I did like 3 years ago… that has continued to make me between $150 and $200 every single month completely passively

The key…

you can’t just go copy and paste your copy of Pride and Prejudice or Treasure Island… and then just publish it and hope that it’ll start making sales.

Amazon requires you to do something with it to make it unique and and potentially valuable to a customer

3 ways you can do that…

  • Create an original translation
  • Provide original annotations
  • Add original illustrations

Jason notes that it’s easier than ever to do those things nowadays with AI tools.
