The public domain is home to tons of classic poems and short stories and, best of all, people love them.  Have you ever taken the time to walk around in a book store and just notice how many compiled books of short stories there are on the shelves?  They are a very popular seller, especially around the holidays, because they are entertaining, quick and easy to read and children often love them, which in turn makes them very enjoyable for the whole family.

Poetry has been loved by people since its conception.  A great poem can be heart felt, true to life, romantic, humorous or maybe even all of the above.  Poets have been sharing their art with others for years, and many of those creative works are now available for you to capitalize on from within the public domain.  Plain and simple, short stories and poems are a big hit and always a good choice to pluck right out of the public domain and make some easy profits.  Also keep in mind that when using these types of materials, they don't always have to be created by well known writers, in fact, if you were to create a book of short stories for example, no one would even know the authors included in the ebook until they purchase it from you.  Here is three ideas to get you started:

 

  1. Track down a great collection of short stories and compile an ebook including all or some of them.  You can even create an ebook focused on let's say a holiday, like Christmas for example, filled with short stories about this wintery favorite.  Christmas is actually one of the best times of the year to sell these types of ebooks, mostly due to the fact that it is the one specific time of the year that the whole family is together, making the moment a little more special to those wishing to entertain.  You are giving them the wonderful opportunity to sit down in front of a cozy fire with their family and share some classic tales of times past.
     
  2. Putting together a nice collection of poems in an ebook will often bring in the buyers.  As with the short stories above, if you can create a theme such as love poems, you will be able to target a specific niche of people.  You can find poems covering virtually every subject matter, so use a little creativity when constructing your ebooks.  Another idea would be creating an ebook filled with inspirational poems, you could even separate the types of poems into chapters rather than individual ebooks so that everyone would find something of interest.
     
  3. Another thought would be to make a collage of the two.  Create an ebook filled with short stories, poetry and even pictures of beautiful classic paintings and other forms of artwork, kind of a coffee table book if you will for the computer.
