    So inspiring, and smart. Well organized video, very informative and speaks very clearly. The only thing I would say would be to slow it down a little. Clicking through things soo fast- I had to rewatch video twice to figure out what you did in each step. It would definitely be easier for newer users to AI and Coloring Book publishers. Thank you! I will definitely keep watching

    Hey Latoya, I'm out here in Miami watching your videos. Just got laid off last week. I already have a pretty decent passive income on my TeachersPayTeachers page, but am looking to expand. Thank you for making this so clear and simple to understand. I appreciate you sharing the wealth!!! I'm about to sit down and write the list of my theme ideas, so step 1! I have to tell you, when you said "Easy to get a burger when you're already hungry" I died lol! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You'll probably see me commenting on your videos as I follow you around youtube trying to figure this thing out!

    Omg so much info in 12 minutes!! This was extremely helpful, thank you!! My question is, once your book is created, is there a way to order bulk/discounted copies (even if not necessarily thru amazon?), so you're able to have the physical books on hand, such as if you're selling at vendor shows or personal websites?

    • @LatoyaNicoleOfficial

    I have a couple of questions . So, pricing your coloring book on amazon KDP for $10.95 your profit is only going to $3.33 per book? Is that because they are doing the printing and shipping right?

  • @ericmotes9074
    @ericmotes9074 8 місяців тому +1

    Great information as always. Do you have a resource that you would recommend for printing if you wanted to print copies of the book yourself and sell directly to customers? Do you do this as well or just sell through Amazon KDP? Thanks.

    • @LatoyaNicoleOfficial
      @LatoyaNicoleOfficial  8 місяців тому +1

      If you currently use KDP you can print author copies of your book on your backend to sell directly to customers. I share that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7g5POFj58fI/v-deo.html
      I sell on multiple platforms as well as on my company site at entrepreneurscolortoo.com

      You can use simple elements like shapes, lines, etc to create your own original work but if you are asking about images, you should only use images that you have purchased the rights to. My top recommendation is to hire an illustrator.
