I've tried the link a number of times. Didn't work.
One genius marketing plan I saw today was a coloring book brand had a free digital coloring page every month if you sign up to their email. This makes people stay with your email marketing and tell their friends to sign up too as they know they'll get free stuff forever. You can just use a page of your new book each month and if they like it they can buy the real book
So far, YOU are my fav KDP Educator. I like your advice to go in the direction of higher quality content always. PEACE. Working now on my first cover. WILL publish THIS WEEK!
Sean, your deep dive into 'Coloring Book Cafe' was both thorough and enlightening. It's impressive to see how they've integrated different strategies to stand out on Amazon. The way they blend quality designs, smart pricing, and digital offerings is genuinely inspiring. Thanks for shedding light on these tactics and providing invaluable insights. I've taken away so much from this video for my own projects. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🎨📚
Glad you liked it!
Loved this analysis, Sean! Thank you!! Keep them coming!
Very informative video Sean. Thanks for taking the time to study that company and share your insights with us.
If you do 6x9, adding a larger hardcover book with less pages (if it's text based) can help as well. And larger size paperback can drive down print cost and offer 6x9 as compact version. Both paperback can be sold at same price but a 8x1p or 8.5x11 paperback with less pages can print lower. You can price it a little.lower but you don't have to. With color books, you can offer a pocket size as well.
Thanks! Your clip is so useful. I'm not trying to create a coloring book, but I did want coloring sheets for a workbook. You've helped!
I like your videos Sean cant wait for the next one on coloring books
You are rocking the videos lately. Great job- thanks Sean!
Glad you like them!
Thank you. I just stumbled on your channel and I am definitely learning. New sub here to stay. Keep it coming.
Thanks so much for the information! I am a writer, and have my own fiction series which I want to finish and sell on the platforms you have shared. I have also done editing for a publishing company and ghost-writing where I have had very good reviews from customers. So, this video has inspired me to write my own books instead of writing them for others. Unfortunately, I live in South Africa, so buying into the community is not possible when it costs almost a whole month's salary with the exchange rate. But this video has given me a lot to work towards.
"Price anchoring" , thanks for pointing that out, Sean..........You're the BEST!
Great info! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I get a lot of really Greta tops for my ideas!
Love the case studies !
Just subscribed, great video, Cheers.
I've used Corel draw 2018 pro. It has a symmetry tool to draw one wedge and it repeats around the entire thing. Takes a few mintues for things like that. Mandela's. Snowflakes etc.
Well done Sean. Thank you
Thanks for watching
Cool video, thank you!
You are amazing I love your videos
Hey man, can you do one thing? Nomatter what video i watch there's always going to be that confusion about the interior size, can you make a video on that? There are so many people going through the same problem and there's no video on RUclips clearly explaining anything.
your videos are the best
Hey Sean, I discovered your channel by accident but I'm glad I did. I've got a quick question about running ads on Amazon. Do you have a separate course on that? I think a lot of people know how to generate books for free but they are afraid of running ads, because it costs money and therefore they want more guidance. So let me know if you want to sell a course just focus on how to run ads to promote book products. Thanks.
Thanks for the info, but how do you go about competing in this niche..?
Nice one Sean
Excellent video
Amazing content
Do you know where i can get those a plus content templates and what program they use?
I've actually got that 125 Mandala colouring book. It's nice, but for some of the designs you need a magnifying glass.
Coloring book is very profitable but needs some experience with it. Can deplete your ads if not done correctly.
I do like these videos.
Nice Video!
thank you
Why can’t I add pictures to my main post? :( I’m only seeing options to add in the description.
My 8-9 books have been in KDP review since July 27. They’ll review one or two with editing requests, either in the title or description box, but they all look really good. Worked very hard on these, creating high quality covers and contents. Is this normal for low content books? I’ll never quit, but it is frustrating! Thanks for your videos by the way, I’ve learned much from you!
@Seandowlett- absolutely, something I will consider! Thank you Sean!
I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT IDEA TO WORK WITH COLORING COURSES. IT'S VERY SMART. YOU CAN BE AN AFFILIATE AND PROFIT IN OTHER WAY. I WILL APPLY.
Great videos.
How you can see how much they are making per day?
My activity book for adults is launching in a few days. I want to get reviews. I’ve looked at services but thinking of posting on my neighborhood FB forum offering a free book on which they can provide an Amazon review if they wish to do so. Is this against Amazon’s rules? Since it’s an activity book, I think it needs to be to provide the actual printed book vs a PDF. Thoughts?
Is mandala copyright free? 6:30
Nice i like your video❤❤❤
Hello Sean! I follow your channel and I really like your content. Following your lead, I created my own store on Amazon KDP and try to run it carefully. However, when I run an ad, it doesn’t work for me and doesn’t charge me any money. In addition to this, there are still many problems, for example, I cannot create an electronic book format. Sales 0. I have a proposal for you, maybe you can start sorting out the problems of small stores like mine?
I published books but no sales as yet what should I do do you give consultation
I want to ask about another platform for selling coloring books.
Dude, this is one of the best publishing biz videos.
Thank uu Sean , how can hiring a good illustrator on Upwork
Hi Sean, well presented and very informative video, thank you so much. As a UK resident will Amazon KDP enable me to sell books to the US for example ? Thank you
yes you can sell everywhere
Hi Sean! I did watch your training video, great stuff! A lot of people on message boards and FB groups, things like that are such downers who say this is impossible for the average person. I have been learning and building for three months and am excited about it! I'm in it for the long haul. I have to wonder if people who say it's impossible because millions of people are uploading books if they are just doing it for a few months then giving up. Anyway, thank you again! Cheers from Nova Scotia!
If you create a coloring book, can you put your name on it as the "author" ?
Lulu spiral bounds are no good tho. You need to get private printer to print the larger lay flat type (the ones that are aluminum and coil bound).
I use Lulu for spiral-bound books and I'm very happy with them. If you';ve had a problem, I hope you sent photos to Lulu - the Support has been great IMHO.
im about to sell my first colouring in book... Do you think its worth changing the author name to a brand name such as "coloring cafe" rather than my name john cooper?
Just curious, when dong something like a joke book or inspirational quotes, do you have to site your sources or how does that work?
Also interested in this!
How are coloring book authors getting so many images on their pages? Mine is still in draft mode but i want to upload more photos. Can i add some in the "details" part by pasting some images with the description?
▼Hi there @GinasOnlineFinds - I'm trying to work out what you mean, to see if I can help. Are you asking about the additional images on each book's Amazon page when you scroll down? If so, that's a free marketing module called "A+" for Authors. When uploading (or after uploading), an Author can access the A+ Modules and upload extra images to match the pre-set Modules. It's a fantastic way to show what's inside any book. Hope this makes sense :-)
can someone explain how does he check the royalty information for all the books.
Seandollwet.com/bookbeam
I have no idea how they are pricing the books so low.
AI is Absolutely capable of those images and soo much more.. I juts got into AI a few days ago and ive already created 4 150 page coloring books that are just miles beyond anything that i could have ever hoped for or imagined.. perfectly symmetrical. perfectly portioned.. the only issues ive found with using AI is that sometimes it will add extra hands and paws to people and animals. kinda strange but its seldom that it happens.. AI Prompts can be a little tricky.. the smae descriptors in a different order can have drastic effects on what the AI poops out..
Hey @jeredc.3219 - that's great! I tried a couple but didn't have any luck. Is there one or more AI you would recommend for the images?
Also very interested in which AI you use? Thank you
@@TeenaHughesOnline Ive been using Bing AI. I start each prompt with "Outline only" and i try to be as detailed im my imagery as possible.. list of general components.. foreground.. background. there are still flaws.. AI still struggles with any type of anatomy so best to count the fingers.. lol.. maybe dogs with 2 tails are the main selling point of your future books.. best wishes
@@DukeusMostchillius - thanks Jered, I appreciate your reply and details. Best of luck to you too :D
Again very missleading title
Yes
I never had success with coloring books
I have set the price of my product to 7.99 but amazon changed it to 8.82. As I understand iI will keep getting my royalty from the price I have innitialy set, right? Should I just change the price of my product to what Amazon have set and therefore get bigger royalty?
▼ Hi there @TheDManiak - Amazon will keep changing prices depending on what their goals are.
▼ I'd leave the price for the moment, and see how it goes for a month or so :-)
Brazilian around here too rs
Welcome to the channel 💪
brasileiro aqui tambem, vc tbm esta no kdp?
You have to buy isbn for a Coloring book now. And that is very expensive. Is there a cheaper option?
Whats isbn?
▼ I buy mine in a pack of 10, so it's only $8.50 per book (depending on which country you're in)
I have a doubt. Can a Amazon employee do kdp business side by side ???
I’m not 100% sure. But I don’t think a few of them doing kdp will affect us in any way
I have about 8 low content books still in review with KDP since July 27! They’ll review at one or two books at a time, with a requested edit in the title or description box, which I do immediately and it goes back into review. These books, although low content look really good. Is this normal? I am getting frustrated with how slow their process has been!
If something would work I never tell about it on youtube.
Then you don’t understand, that besides some people just want to inspire and help others, it’s also another monitizing strategy 😉 besides you make people enthousiast for his courses etc, he also earns money with these vids through RUclips.
Do you get an ISBN from KDP?
Yes
Sir can you help me
QUESTION: To understand the value of investing in the coloring book business, could you explain what is the value of an adult coloring book? I don't quite understand why an adult spends money buying those kinds of books. Thanks in advance for any answer.
@Seandowlett- so you can't answer my question?
Many different ones, Mandala books were originally marketed for relaxation, etc. Then, there are some for people who like to engage in arts and crafts, such as painting, etc. and some buyers are really advanced in either coloring pencils or other mediums (some can be used with watercolors) so it's basically painting pictures they like or develop their craft.
There are different markets, cute coloring books with puppies and cats, fantastic creatures, flowers and landscapes, even pinup books with sexy artwork, etc.
@@edu.santos thank you very much for your answer. It helps me to understand the potential of this niche. Have a nice day.
Besides being fun to do and a creative outlet for people who maybe can't draw anything, they cost very little to buy, I've been buying and sending them to my aunt in a memory care facility. She has what Bruce Willis has, a hard time with words, aphasia. Finding words is hard, imagine trying to watch a TV show or movie when your communication ability just gets worse and worse, it must be very boring to not be able to talk with people or understand what's being said on TV. These coloring books don't require words. I also sent her colored pencils, a cool pencil sharpener, and markers, also all from Amazon. Every couple of months I send her a couple more coloring books, at least she doesn't have to just sit staring at the walls. That's just one market for them.
What is mid journey?
▼ MidJourney is an AI which can create images based on text typed into it
Nothing walked you through the proper options in uploading the pages to KDP as jpeg or pdf or anything KDP specific.
big
i have watched a couple of your videos and i am wondering if you are so successful why do you look like your talking in some basement suite? it doesn't look like a successful atmosphere that your working in and do you spend a lot on advertisement on your kdp journals? no offense i hope just wondering. Thanks
No prob. I think the biggest reason why people stay poor is because they think they need to spend more as they make more. I constantly travel around and stay in 1 bedroom airbnbs cause thats all the space i need. And no you dont have to start by spending a lot
well i think that's pretty humble of you. Thank you for coming back to me. @@SeanDollwet
Stop saying that other people are winning this, they are getting that. Make useful content, you are talking nonsense.
Well done Sean, thank you
Thanks for watching
