It's incredible to see the persistence and experimentation that led to this success! After publishing so many books, finding what works best must feel so rewarding. Thanks for sharing your process and helping us avoid the mistakes you've already tackled!
I think there's also a factor of off-Amazon marketing. I have been promoting my coloring books on instagram for a couple of months and I think it helps. Reels, posts, free books in exchange for collabs etc. Major coloring brands have a big presence on social media as well.
@@rebelrulesart I can't say for sure but I think people are more likely to buy a book that they've seen on some trusted account than just randomly on Amazon. especially with the amount of same-looking books out there. plus it helps a lot with the reviews to do collabs with coloring channels.
@@noone-em1vt finished colorings, videos of colorings. eventually people who have finished images from your books will contact you and offer collaborations. then you'd be able to post their works as collab posts.
But they have instagrams made in era of automation. Your reel will be seen by 200 ppl. So new huge money for ads needed and ppl still will stay with cozy bold and easy cute stuff because they see it everywhere
So the biggest factor is if we enjoy making coloring books and I absolutely love making coloring books even and when someone color in it and post every page tells different story colored by different people ut gives me immense happiness 😍
Btw I would add that for me a big thing in selling coloring books is selling not only coloring books. It's such an unpredictable niche that after a year of only making coloring books I am back in the puzzle book niche, language books etc. If a coloring book sells well it's nice. If it doesn't it doesn't overwhelm me at least.
Yeah for sure - I think unless people are building a list/website/bigger project with their coloring books then they should have other products if they are just working on Amazon - well said!
Thank you as always for this content!!! I keep hearing people posting today to do this books that are already saturated and people believing them... this is good content
Thank you for your precious guidance. Can you guide me on one thing? I have a Canvas subscription, and I generated images for my storybook and book covers, but kdp blocked it. Then, I created a coloring book using canvas elements and kdp blocked it. I don't know the reason. When I asked them, they replied, "Can't be published at this time."
It kind of horrified me to hear that there's a publisher/person who steals the best ideas. I haven't started publishing but I started writing a kids picture book, and I haven't made the pictures yet. But it's a lot of work to come up with the creative ideas for the content. I know my ideas are unique, I haven't used AI, and now I'm scared my creative idea will be stolen
@@heard3879 coco wyo is a company, bog company with big money, it is not a person. They have more money for the ads than put $20 daily. Their book is more popular on amazon than christmas at hogwart
Yeah, I just checked now and they look similar. But then I had this thought that coco wyo did got their account terminated before for copyrighted title or something, and now they're back in business and ruling the book world. I don't think they'll do this kind of silly mistakes, I'm saying silly cz they should've known about this by now. Using copyrighted or trademarked stuff and making sells with it, is strictly forbidden by Amazon. That's why I was wondering that.
Are you talking about Adobe illustrator? If so you’ll have to upload the interior in PDF format. The cover can to be JPG, PNG or PDF I think. Good luck, I just published my first hand drawn colouring book🇦🇺❤️
@@MissChelleI did my children's coloring book in Canva, and used 3 AI illustrations on magic media, but hope KDP will accept them and not reject my first book. 😊

This part for coloring books is key

Can you please tell me what do you post on instagram

@@taranjeetkaursra1650 no the biggest factor is to have HUGE MONEY for marketing. It is not possible to get views for coloring book just for $0,15 😅😅

@@ChrisRaydog yes, if you have something like Coco Wyo going you should probably focus on this but I am not on that stage :D
Another great video took down some notes.
Thank you, chris

Great insight. Coloring books are "easy", so they get saturated. You def need a USP to stand out. More work = more reward.
Good info and best reminder, thanks!
Is publishing on KDP free?
Good info, thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks Chris
Make any coloring book an the big coloring book authors will just copy and take your sales might as well save time an just copy them first lol jkjk 😂
Great upload as usual. The website is inaccessible though!
Mmm strange, it's working here - what is it doing?

I love making my coloring books too. When is the best time to upload Xmas ones to kdp? November?
@@LizJames-z3t It is too late

um.., it's the entire strategy that forms the basis of China's economy
Good advice. I'm too original to want to copy anyone else. 😅
cocowyo copied all original ideas from berrie coloring book and soe japanies illutrations , i just reported them to original owners

I think cocowyo published first, no? I think berrie is the ripoff actually.
@@ocmetals4675 sorry I meant bobie good coloring book
I'm about to upload my book to kdp. Do they allow AI illustrations or not?
