Matt Furey found it, filmed himself demonstrating the moves, and turned it into a video course. He’s still selling it. Right now it’s $297, marked down from $497, and going by his own sales page, he’s kept some version of that price structure running for years, nudging it up as demand grows. The book itself costs nothing. It’s public domain. You can read the whole thing on archive.org. Furey isn’t a marketer by trade. He’s a wrestling coach. He didn’t need a growth hack or a clever hook. He needed a good book nobody else had bothered to package. That’s the whole play: find a public domain book in a niche people care about, and turn it into something people will pay for. Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org), and the Internet Archive (archive.org) have thousands of these, to download and use however you want. Grab two or three on the same subject, feed them into notebooklm.google.com, and ask it to build a course, a book, a video series, whatever you’re picturing. NotebookLM will do some of its own research and update the material as it goes. That’s useful. It’s also the part you can’t skip past. Proofread everything it gives you. Rewrite the awkward parts. Check every fact it states like it might be wrong, because sometimes it is. What you ship needs to be worth someone else’s money, that’s your job, not the AI’s. It pays to remember that AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. It’s just very good at making you think it is. Enjoy the books either way. Regards, P.S. If turning old books into new content sounds worth trying but “write good prompts” is the part you’d dread, that’s what the AI Prompt Guide is for: https://link.ckv.to/prompt-guide.
