Public
Domain - Internet Gold Mine
With the advent of the internet and the ease of
which information can readily be downloaded and
compiled you would think that more people would
realize that the public domain is a source of
wonderful wealth that can be tapped into for huge
profits.
I have spent the last 4 years "discovering"
little known secrets of this information that
is readily available to those who know where to
look. Or should I say "prospect". That's
exactly what it is. It's Mining. When you mine
the internet, you are not mining little rocks
in a quarry or dredging a cold river looking for
that elusive nugget of gold. You are searching
for the gold of the future, and of the past. Information
becomes your ore. You now become an information
prospector. A "Millennium-Age Gold Miner."
The tools of your trade are much different today
than in the days of old. Your "pick-axe"
has evolved into your mouse, and your "gold
pan" is your hard drive. Your computer is
the dredge and your internet connection is your
"claim". In the old days when a prospector
found gold he would drive a stake in the ground
and this would become his claim. You are doing
the same thing when you sign the contract for
your internet connection. You are staking a claim
to the largest source of wealth in the world.
Public Domain Information.
You transcend the boundaries of the physical
world by entering a realm in which it is possible
to find riches in the deepest recesses and crevices
of the web. The public domain is the undiscovered
country of the information age. It's mysteries
are deep as oceans and it's knowledge as expansive
as the universe. The public domain now becomes
ultimate natural resource.
Information has always reigned king since the
beginning of time. There are millions of us who
know not the sheer power and value of the information
that is freely available to anyone who knows where
to look.
The new millennium, and the information-age is
very much like the GoldRush of 1849 in which hundreds
of thousands of people rushed westward in a stampede
of gold seeking pioneers. Some were young, some
old, some in between, but all sought a common
goal. Gold. Only this time it is different, the
gold we seek in this age is information, and it's
not mere thousands, but hundreds of millions people
who are on this new quest blazing new trails and
forging great new paths to wealth.
Information is abundant and widely available.
You can mine this gold at anytime, from any place
in the world. You do not have to travel vast distances
facing the perils of the land to stake your claim.
All you need is a computer and a connection to
the web. From anywhere in the world you are able
to seek out, find, download, and refine your treasure
from the warm and cozy comfort of home.
Never before, in the history of man have you
been able to procure such wealth so quickly. You
are able to locate information on any subject
in an instant, and your results are displayed
before you faster than you could have ever imagined.
Your "gold pan" quickly become full
of the valuable information-ore. Each time you
find a nugget it motivates you to find more. You
become entranced with the new found riches and
it almost becomes obsession. The desire to find
more pulses through your veins like a hot drug,
steadily increasing your craving for more. The
more you find the more you want. It the realization
becomes obvious that you have "Gold-Fever"
and now you can't stop searching for more information.
This is what the public domain is. It's an internet
goldmine chock full of free information ready
for the taking.
Stake your claim!
