Promp: cartoon style vector, Steampunk , coloring page, completely white background, --ar 2:3,
why often when I write coloring book appear a watermark belove?
@@darakuT use --no text in your prompt
If the "--no text" option does not work for you, use "--no text font letters"
That prompt worked for me across various styles.
Thanks Danny. Found your video as been using MJ for a little bit now and didn't know how to find out what version I was using and didn't know about the remix mode.
Be careful, the images generated won’t be big enough for a book page. So it would be a small passport image on a regular coloring book page. You’ll need other softwares to do additional things to make the image large enough without losing the resolution.
Thanks, I’ll do a video on this.
@@DannyOnDemand now I'm confused... Do the images generated by MJ have enough resolution without upscaling to be stretched to to 8.5 x 11 without becoming pixelated? Please clarify.. Thanks
@@MrJoe1199 I’m going to do a detailed video on this before the end of the month. The images came out were really good quality but I would upscale to see the extra detail.
@@DannyOnDemand I’ll be tuned in for the updated video! I need to know the other part of this process. Thank you!

How to Use with Bluewillow AI or Leonardo AI
Please.....
What size should I use for coloring book for kids and how many designs to use like 30, 60, 100 pages
Start with a low amount if your creating your first coloring book then add more pages once you feel confident
Hello there: just starting midjourney, the settings don't work in the free version obviously, do you have to have a subscription for the settings?
I would make sure your on a subscription so that you have commercial license if you plan to sell the coloring pages
what about copyright? Does anyone know if this is 100% legal?
Avoid creating anything related to a person or brand. If you pay for Midjourney, you have commercial license to sell anywhere.
My pictures have too much black in them or get generated with color from time to time. How is it possible to make the pictures really only with linings and maybe on top of that, with wider spaces. sometimes the lines are so close together, it's impossible to color them in between. Thank you.
You can email me screenshots, so I can see what's happening
You should check your in- and output levels bro! The audio is clipping pretty badly.
Thanks
Thanks for this informative vid! Where can we get our own ISBN if we don't want to use Kindle's free one?
What country are you based in?
HEY DANNY GREAT VIDEO :) BUT I HAVE A QUESTION .. AMAZON IS NOW ASKING IF I USED A.I TO MAKE MY IMAGES OR TEXT ON MY BOOK WHAT DO I DO OR PUT ?
Hi Paul, I already have a video on this topic but make sure you disclose the use of AI content
Those who make money from something will not post on UA-cam the secret for everyone to do what they do.
Ok, I’m not going to argue with your mindset. Thanks for watching
Great video and thank you for making this. I wanted to ask you a question. Which website do you feel is the best for creating images? Chatgpt DALL-E3, Leonardo AI or Mid journey?
I prefer Midjourney, you can checkout this recent video: ua-cam.com/video/VDYYmAJam44/v-deo.htmlsi=kv_G7IXQjRTB_oLH
@@DannyOnDemand ok. Thank you sir 🙏
guys i just want to know if my account will be safe if i use IA generated images
Just disclose any AI content that you use with Amazon
Thanks for this video. Quick but pretty thorough. So when you get images with slight deformations, do you just add a different prompt to correct that image? Or start all over again?
I use the remix tool, which allows you to add words in order to have better variations. Try to be more specific and detailed with your prompt with remix prompt. I hope this helps.
How do you say that you have the copyright? Paid Midjourney license gives you commercial license but you don't have the copyright.
Why would you choose real-esrgan or digital art over "ultrasharp"? It kinda makes sense to use ultrasharp to have more crisp images.
Ultra sharp makes the file sizes too large
@@DannyOnDemand But with fast esrgan the print quality would still be great or no?
Am still getting the same cube page size😢😢
Try - - ar 2:3 to change the page size at the end of your prompt. You can also read this article: docs.midjourney.com/docs/aspect-ratios
Thanks for sharing. I am wondering how anyone could color those pictures because there is so much gray in the way.
Yes there are still areas you can color in, there are many different designs you can create.
During uploading on kdp amazon asks that if this content is AI generated or not? So which option we should select? Yes or No.
Do Amazon accept AI generated content?
Yes, select AI generated if you have used it. They accept AI content, I have a video on it
@@DannyOnDemand ok thanks
@@DannyOnDemand send link please
my midjourney looks totally different and also I do not have the option to check the quality
How does it look different?
I actually fixed it by changing from app to the actual download from my computer
@@DannyOnDemand
Thanks for the video. Will we have copyright problems if we use midjourney basic to create pictures and then put them on amazon kdp?
I explain this at 5:35 in the video
Hi, loved the video! I was wondering if other people in Midjourney can download your designs if they’re public?
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Others can download your designs of they are public, you can always delete any image you create in midjourney and save it to your computer. The highest subscription allows you to have private mode.
@@DannyOnDemand Hi, thank you for inputs 🙏. I was also wondering the same thing. Given that the photos are public, other people would just download and use them to create coloring books, which would be considered as repetitive content and amazon would terminate your account because of it. I was thinking of paying the extra 25$ to go private, but your idea of just deleting the photos after you're done, seems ideal. Thanks
Can you show how to show the interior preveiw
Do you mean the look inside feature on Amazon?
Do you need a copywright page?
You don't need one
Funny, the Owls has too many toes...
Thanks for watching
Hey Danny. I have a spreadsheet full of niches I like but honestly not sure if they are good. I only use Amazon search and a free program but I don't have confidence in it or search. Any suggestions?
I still use the Amazon search bar as my main source to find niches. You can check out other research methods in this video: ua-cam.com/video/4AnmZmMNfmQ/v-deo.html
Dear Danny: maybe a stupid question: Is the content of your book 42 pages including the cover? Or is the cover another element (another 2 pages)? Thank you for your help.
The cover is another element that why I created it in another doc
WHAT A LEGEND! Awesome delivery!
Thanks Alan!
Thank you! Best video I've found yet on the topic!
I'm glad it was helpful!
What qualifies the coloring book to be titled large print? Is it just the fact it's full page or is it the 8.5 x 11 size? Thanks
No, the images are large print for a specific audience.
Great! I just published my first coloring book this month, thanks!
Well done!
got sales?
Do you earn any money from sales?

fastest way to get negative reviews is to put an image on the cover that hasnt got black outlines and isnt in your book, people expect to see a coloured page from inside the book as an example
@@spudspuddy my Coloring books haven’t had any bad reviews yet
Due to high demand Midjourney is not giving out free trials at the moment. This is such a headache🤦🏽♀️
You can try Leonardo AI for free or Blue Willow but make sure you check there commercial license terms.
I cant seem to register with midjourney
I'm having issues with how dark the drawings are. There's a large portion that can't be colored in. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Becarful..Amazon will suspend any account use ai
There are so many books on Amazon that have been created by AI, stop spreading lies
@@DannyOnDemand yes and there are so many books created by stolen art too...
Amazon has banned thousands of accounts of people who have a bunch of no content books, right or wrong. They will ban more until people stop doing them. I had published them sometimes over the years going back to 2010. I had some really good sellers that I unpublished after years & years of selling. They made it known almost 2 years ago they seem to hate low content, & banned so many accounts as Amazon ALWAYS does. They ban because they can. I unpublished all my no/low content books, which were only a small part of my overall catalog. I mostly write my own. Amazon is banning AI content right now though, so yes you are correct. Im not sure how they will work things out in the future, but being on Amazon for close to 15 years now & seeing all the craziness that comes & goes, (get rich quick schemes). I do know for a fact that theres always those on the front lines who get completely wiped out first before Amazon figures out what they want to do later. If they ever do. Point im making is they ALWAYS ban accounts first, & possibly reinstate a few later. But most stay banned. The only thing new here is the use of AI. They made it clear they seem to hate accounts that publish non stop low content. That in itself is too risky to do now. 2010 it was ok. Not after 2015 even though, the make money teachers ruined it a decade ago. But now its coming back due to AI. I can see them robo banning accounts if they detect their books are all created using AI. I dont agree with that, but I know Amazon, & I can totally see this happening very soon. They wait until the publishers are making the most money they can then they ban & keep those earnings. Thats F*ing capitalism! GOD BLESS CAPITALISM!😂 If thousands of morons who cant write, dont want to write, never had the desire to write, only want to get rich, use AI to publish books of any kind. Its a guarantee things will implode. I can see this happening with the AI craze. Teaching the AI craze to these idiots is were the real money is at.
This is great but I'm not seeing the pixel count on my page.
what do you mean pixel count on your page?
@@DannyOnDemand at 12:51 "you might just want to make sure that the image quality is good enough…" and you point to the numbers 1024 x 1536. I can't find this on my MJ page.
is it ok if i use RGB instead of CMYK? because i don't want to pay canva pro just for that, is the difference really that big
I’ve not tried RGB so I couldn’t tell you the difference. You can use Canva pro free for 30 days and cancel it anytime.
I read that it should be black and white and grey not allowed
Hi, nice video!
if I publish my book (mandala book) on amazon kdp, does it have to be stated in the book what I used to make the drawings? Midjourney, Canva etc. Thanks!
Thanks, if you pay for the services you have commercial license to sell them anywhere, so you don’t need to state how it was made.
Thank you first for sharing this excellent information. But I want to know one things. if I download images from midjourny and use them in my interior page, will it be any copyright issue?
If you have a paid plan then you have commercial license to sell your images. Avoid creating anything movies, celebrities, brands, sports teams.
do you think we are safe doing this? you dont think amazon will crack down on ai? Is there any way they could tell if we use ai or not..? Just curious
If you don’t want to do this, you don’t have to. I’ve uploaded this book to Amazon and had no issues, I’ll do a video on this soon.
Thx Greatly, from Egypt 🇪🇬
Thank you!
Great Video, how did you set the image size to 1024x1536 ? thanks for the video!
This is the set image size once you upscale your image.
@@DannyOnDemand - I upscaled my image and it is 1024 X 1024?
can we generate images from midjourney in the free plan and use them for amazon kdp?
No, I explain this in the video
hey danny great video . just have one question what are the dimensions needed to create the book cover on canva ?
Use KDP cover calculator
Jesus can change yr life ❤
🙏🏾
At time stamp 21:06 do you have to pay a fee to be able to publish your own book onto Amazon for people to buy? Cause it shows "your printing cost" so I'm just wondering if you have to pay for the fee?
No you do not have to pay a fee to publish your book. The printing cost is included when a customer buys your product. You will get a royalty amount you can see at 21:19.
First of all, thanks for this amazing video. One question: doesn't the MJ image lose quality when enlarged to fit the 8'' x 11'' canvas format?
I don’t believe so but other people say it’s blurry. I’m going to do a video on this towards the end of the month. I’ve ordered one of my coloring books so I will show you the quality of it.
@@DannyOnDemand I will be very grateful for that 👍
You can change the ar by typing after your prompt. So on midjourney, you would type:
/imagine prompt: coloring page, high-detail line art, hyacinth. --ar 8.5:11
Type double hyphen then ar width : height of the image.
Dear Danny, do the pictures you are loading into the Canva program have to be CMYK for the print? Even though they are black and white?
And in this case I have to upload jpgs? or tiffs? jpg are never Cmyk right? Thank you for your help
The images I upload into Canva are png for the best quality when downloading it should always be cmyk, I hope that helps
@@DannyOnDemand thank you, I understand that the file on canva should be downloaded in cmyk, but the pix cannot be saved in png when you put them in cmyk, right? so the pictures can be rgb for that purpose while they are uploaded in Canva. Thank you so much for clarification again 🙂
Hi Danny
I just want to ask you if you have used it to create and publish coloring books with midjourney and if there's no problem if using it whith kdp
Did you watch the full video?
Thank you! I’m so grateful for your videos! ❤
Glad you like them!
thank you for this video. great job
Thanks for watching!
So can I add more pages or do they have to be divided by a certain number for the print?
I don't quite understand what you mean
After watching so many videos finally I found this video, thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Danny, I'm using the ratio --ar 2:3 on midjourney as shown on your video but none of the images fit the page, they are cut off. Am I doing this correctly? Thanks
Hey Dez, take a screenshot and email me what is showing. My email is in the about section on my channel page.
@@DannyOnDemand Thanks so much, I've just emailed you. 🙂
Hello Danny , how do I get my own personal bot or private chat
Do you have a paid subscription?
Excellent video, thank you so much for this!
I’m glad it was helpful 🙏🏾
Hey there. I have two things that I can’t figure out… How do I move to my own room and how do I save 1 of the original 4 images that are created?
Hey, if you have a paid plan then you will get your own paid room. To save one of the four images, you need to upscale it first and then watch the video from 12:10.
thanks!! I have the $10 per month plan. Does that get me a private room?
@@marshall020409 then you will have your own private room. Watch from 6:55 to access the room.
Hello Danny,
I have a question about the blank page.
If i add some images/texts on it, will it cost higher?
What do you think if i add some texts/images on blank pages ?
Thank you
You should leave the back page blank, watch part 2 and part 3 to understand the full process. Avoid creating anything around copyrighted and trademarked content.
@@DannyOnDemand Thank you once again for your response.
For more complex images, you will really need to redraw the entire image even with an upscaler, they are not very high quality yet.
I agree you need to do some editing but the quality Midjourney produces is superior most other tools
How did you choose the categorie? Are these the correct ones for coloring books for any age?
I just look through the categories related to the book I’m creating
Hi Danny, thank you for the video. Under contributors, do we need to add MidJourney as Illustrator at 19:40? Could you advice on how to add one? Mid as First name and Journey as Lastname? I keep getting error " author(s) still does not meet our Metadata Guidelines" from KDP when trying to add them. Thanks again.
You do not have to add Midjourney to your contributor, if you have a paid subscription then you have commercial license to see anything you create.
@@DannyOnDemand Thank you, Danny. If KDP still gives me that error, I will remove it and see. I do have a paid sub to MidJourney.
@@dadflydrone no problem
what command can i use for kids coloring book and thanks for the hard book
I have prompts in the video
What are the dimensions required for the book cover and the book pages?
The book pages are 8.5x11 and for the cover use this website: kdp.amazon.com/cover-calculator
So to get a private bot it's $55? 😮 How do you fix the excess claws?
It’s $25 for the private bot.
Extremely helpful! I've learned so much about Midjourney but keep learning more. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching Heather, make sure you check out part 2 and the rest of the series that’s pinned in the comments.
Thank you so much Brother
No problem
Thanks for seeming like the only honest person doing this kind of content, you show actual expectations on people who make first book, i like you dont do stuff like 340k/year easy thumbnails n stuff
Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment, make sure you watch part 2 and part 3.
Is midjourney paid images big enough to be printed?
Checkout my review video on this Coloring book.
Great stuff :). I posted a very thorough walkthrough recently on doing this and you still managed to mention some things I forgot!! I do think that doing 11xx8.5 inch coloring pages do come out a little blurry. Have you had any issues with that?
Thanks for coming by, your video was fantastic. There’s so much to mention with midjourney but you learn more each day. I’m waiting to receive the author copies to really test out the quality.
Hi, I have the same issue and I have some shading spots in the background. Also, looking for the way to fix this.
@@DannyOnDemand Would love to see you review an author copy and take us through what your thoughts are? :)
@@selfpublishingempire that's a good idea. I think I'll create a few coloring books of different sizes and compare the quality.
@@Tiramisu2024 I'll check out the quality once my books arrive
probably the most valuable video for me!! thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job! Your information was extremely useful and provided me with valuable insights. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise with us. I greatly appreciate your help, it has made a positive impact on my work.
Thanks for such a lovely comment. I’m glad it was helpful!
Hiya, I've been using ar 2:3 on MJ but when I check the size its always 896x1344 (ie, not 1044x1536). What am I doing wrong please?
Thank you
You're welcome
Is working with gpt chat in kdp legal and won't it cause me any problems?
To create coloring books without modifying them or writing a short story
Did you not watch my videos?
@@DannyOnDemand I watched it and wanted to ask you that I shouldn't worry and it doesn't cause any problems
if you dont do post processing on your images using photoshop it will look crap once printed. Sorry guys you'll have to pull the fingers a little 🤣
Thanks for watching!
thank you so much . i have a question , can we make any photo color in the cover. even it's not from our book content?
You use anything on the cover but make it related to the images in the book.
amazing video. how many pages do you recommend per book?
Thanks, the minimum I would say is 20 pages with a blank page behind so it should be 40 in total.
❤ awesome video man! you've just motivated me to put my pedal to the floor
Thanks, go for it, checkout part 2 and 3 so you don’t miss out all the details
Gotta love Midjourney! Ive been experimenting with it a lot and its pretty powerful. Gonna use it for childrens books. Keep up the great work and content Danny!
Midjourney is fantastic, thanks for your support and I look forward to your video on Midjourney soon!
yeah
Brother, FANTASTIC video
Thank you
I just made a coloring book with it!!!
Great work, Well done!
Can you let me know how you got the black outline border in the aspect ratio of 8.5:11.
I added it in canva.
@@DannyOnDemand yeah fogured it out after watching the video again yesterday. Thank you though. Appreciate it a lot.
I tried many times but didn't work, but after following your tips it worked! now I can create a coloring book, thanks a lot, keep doing these amazing tutorials
Thanks, I’m glad it was helpful
Awesome. Keep ‘‘em coming!
Thanks! There's a lot more to come!
I'm working on a coloring book where you have a page where the object is framed, the rest of the paper is supposed to be black. Does that work on a book like this?
I don’t quite understand what your trying to say. Send me an email with a screenshot.
@@DannyOnDemand Whops, "framed" probably was the wrong term to use xD As paper sheets are only available in white/creme I was thinking about making the page black by creating a black square and scale it to the size of the paper. The motif art is supposed to be in a white square that is quite a bit smaller so a white headline fits above it, maybe some white text beneath it. The back of the paper most likely needs to be black as well, otherwise it'd look off. However, I'm a media designer so I'm not really convinced the paper will look great afterwards even when only 100% black is used instead of 4C black. With the thickness of the paper, the black from the back will shine through I guess
This is the best most informative video.
Thanks Michelle, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing, you are so kind
Thank you for your support 🙏🏾
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for watching
thanks your video helped me
I'm glad it helped Josh 👍🏾
Thanks for this. How do you check if there's demand for a product? Or how competitive/saturated that market is? Is there any risk involved? To me it looks like there's none apart from spending your time creating all this stuff and no one buys?
Hi, I showed this all in the first part of the video.
@@DannyOnDemand Right, watched this in part so I forgot, but guess I was looking for more statistics.
Just look at Etsy, it's super-saturated which sucks from the point of view of people who want to support real artists.
@@renlish I disagree with you saying Etsy is saturated. There are always new trends that you can create designs around.
You cannot do this with KDP. The paper is too thin to be written on
Thank you so much for this!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you for this video. Every time I had a question in my mind, you answered it within the next minute. However, I was thinking of starting with the 10/month plan. I see that's what you chose, so what would you say are the limitations? In retrospect, would you have chosen 30/month right away, or did 10/month suffice for your needs? Thank you :)
Glad it was helpful, your limited to 25 designs with the free plan. Once I had used that up I still wanted to test it out further so I bought the $10 that allows you to do create 200 designs. I really like midjourney so I’ll get the $30 a month and you can create unlimited designs.
@@DannyOnDemand I've paid for MJ 4 different times. Two of those times I paid $10 but then ended up upgrading to $30 because I was trending to run out of images. If you're in a budget, be very conscious of the images you create. Otherwise, go for $30 and do as much as you want (in relaxed mode)
Hi Ginger, I started my Midjourney subscription on the 10$ plan - I quickly found that I used up all of my Fast-Hours and couldn't create any more images, due to no access to the relaxed mode. If you think you're going to be using it a lot, I would go straight for the $30 plan so you don't waste 10$ to begin with. The unlimited relaxed mode is awesome, and most of the time I feel like it isn't much slower. I usually generate things all the time in the background so it's the perfect plan for myself. I hope this helps!
Hello, I saw this video how to create KDP on Amazon. This tutorial is very well detailed, clear and easy to follow. I tried the free plan to test it out what it can do. I was pretty amazed by the quality of images it can generate. Then I tried to $10 basic plan. If you use a lot of Fast mode on this plan, it would last me probably 5 hours. So I opted for the $30/ month plan. Now, I use relax mode on most of the AI generated images for my shop. I use it for stickers and patterns for other goods on my online store. This is another great idea to generate high-quality line art images according to your own imagination for making images on coloring books. Thank you Danny for this tutorial.
Thank you for this video, DannyOnDemand ♥
