Aaron Kerr – Public Domain Publishing
Do you love books and have an interest in publishing?
Could you benefit from a business which allows you to work on your own schedule and earn money while you sleep?
Are you looking to learn and grow a worthwhile, profitable skill?
I’ve felt the same way.
Back in 2013, I was trying to start a side business. But not just any side business. I’d tried freelancing but got burned out on client work; I’d started a blog but never seemed to find an audience. I needed a business to fit my life, working on something I enjoyed and earning meaningful income without having to follow someone else’s schedule.
So I started experimenting. I’d published Kindle books in the past and started digging deeper into the process. At the same time, my family was reading a lot of classic literature. Thankfully, the two interests came together. I began formatting public domain works — classic books no longer under copyright — for Kindle and selling them on Amazon.
My goal was to earn a few hundred dollars every month to help support our growing family.
It worked better than I expected.
In just over three years, I’ve seen the following results:
All this has happened as a side business, by the way, while I worked a full time job!
Now, how about you?
Imagine if you invested the time to learn about public domain content and the digital publishing process?
What if you could follow a simple system to find and publish books which could earn income month after month?
And think if you could do all this on your own schedule?
If that’s the kind of things that interests you, then the Public Domain Publishing course is for you. In this self-paced course, I cover the exact system and tools I’ve used to run and grow my business. No secrets; no holding back. Here are the areas we’ll cover.
