Yes you can write a book!

Income from your own book is a great way to create a passive income stream. At the risk of sounding a little self-referential, our book Secrets to Creating Passive Income is a good example.

Now here's the really, really cool idea for you to mull over today. You can actually write, market, and sell a book of your own with very little effort. You don't even have to write the contents, and yes, this is perfectly legal to do! Once an author has left this plane of existence for over 70 years, their copyrighted material is in the public domain. Anyone can print, publish, and sell their book, and it's okay to make money doing so.

Here's a great example. We discovered an axtraordinarily valuable book that was way ahead of its time, written by Wallace D. Wattles about 100 years ago and titled The Science of Getting Rich. It's a great resource, and if you like what you read in The Secret, you'll be fascinated to learn that Wallace's book teaches much the same thing but many decades earlier.

The Science of Getting Rich is in the public domain. You are free to copy the contents and create your own book. All you need to do is learn how to cost-effectively get published, and away you go! Check out this Examiner article for ideas on how to go about this.
