Free Stuff: Home

Back in the olden days, when the Internet was new, lots of folks were trying to figure out how to make money off of this newfangled idea. One of the first "big ideas" was selling "the information age" - get together a collection of articles, reports, books - or whatever - and sell them as a package, with the buyer having full rights of reproduction. The idea was that the buyer could then take each individual article (or report or whatever) and resell it to the public at large over the Internet for a small fee. And if you had enough of those small sales, your fortune could be made! It was almost the perfect business: a large inventory with a minimal cost, electronic transmission (so no postage or packaging) and a potential world-wide market.

Like lots of folks, we acquired several of these packages over time... and discovered for ourselves the drawbacks of this scheme. The information is there, and lots of it, but information becomes dated so quickly in our new "information age" that, usually, by the time you can acquire a report for resale it is already out of date. Or it may not be accurate in light of more modern information. Or... lots of other things, mostly negative. Needless to say, making money off of these things is not easy, but I suppose it still could be done given the right attitude, or marketing approach.
