When determining whether a document is in the public domain, should you pay for the  copyright search or should you do it yourself? This is a good question, and the answer lies,  as usual, in the method.

You should find two to three solid business ideas from confirmed public domain works  (works published before 1922, or government publications, or works donated to the public  domain). You can then use them to start off two or three income streams, and once you  have a small but steady income from your fledgling online business empire, expand by  picking up more lucrative topics that may require more research and money.

First off, there is literally so much contained within the Public Domain already that so many  of the regular people don't know about, that there is no chance of the public domain  running out of options in the foreseeable future.  And then, of course, more work is being  added to the public domain every day.
