These books are really time intensive and you need to edit them properly to get the colours correct, this is not a beginner niche to explore but it can be rewarding. I have published 2 and found them exhausting to make.
@@davidsam6590 oooh. Sounds complicated. I just learned how to make picture book with rhymes. First one is called the seed of kindness. I've started a new youtube channel creative press read aloud. The trick is to get traffic from youtube to your books. Watch this space. I will be doing more normal colouring books too. But the training I bought makes the lines clearer and gives me extra chrome extensions to do research and get the keywords right. It's fun. Tried the first read aloud and got it completely wrong haha. And 2 of the pictures were in the wrong places. So my book will be tried and tested for quality before I upload to Amazon
I've never heard of the hidden pictures color by number style. So cool! I can see why this author is doing so excellent in their sales. Thank you so much Caroline. I love all your videos. They are so informative!!
It's funny how the old "paint by numbers" genre is making a comeback in a new form, pretty sure the hidden style was common in the past too. Makes you wonder what else could be re-imagined for the modern consumer
The mystery mosaics for adults are my fav.--Belba family and Jennifer Rolling have some of my favorite. After work, I will watch Hulu or Netflix and color to destress. I like to see what the picture will turn out to be. I buy about 1-2 a month.

Omg I didn’t know this type of coloring book was a thing now. I’m pretty sure I know how to make those pretty simply. The hardest part is going to be simplifying the number of colors in the puzzle, but illustrator can do that when converting to vector.
WOW ! Blown away by this company. There's plenty of Nonograms around which is a similar thread but nothing else on the market like these. They are fabulous.
I have about 40 books published. I make about $5 to $20 a month doing nothing. No advertising. Most of the niches are quite saturated so in order to make decent money you probably will need to spend a significant amount of money on advertising and hope you at least break even. Just my two cents.
One person has a unique idea. Someone “discovers” it, everyone copies and now no one makes any money. As a writer and artist, I’m flabbergasted at this video.
Very interesting. I agree with other comments about appears so time consuming to create-- even tho the surprise design is cool!How is it made? Great about an email list, however what if you don't have one?
Thanks for your kind sharing. I am trying to understand more about coloring books. Am i right to say that sellers will sell a digital coloring book, which the buyer will then need to dowload in digital form and then print in hardcopy for coloring? Or these coloring books are already sold in hardcopy?
Good idea! I LOVED color by number as a kid. Not sure if the Book Bolt program is equipped to make this kind of book yet, but I am sure they will eventually. 🙂
Hi there, When will your self publishing course be going live? I have signed up to be on the wait list 3x and have not received a confirmation email. Just curious, looking forward to it. Your videos are alway great! Thank you for all you do 😎
I think the idea of a 'hidden mosaic coloring book by numbers' with squares or diamonds, is a great idea, thanks for sharing. I've been searching for an app that can generate these from my own pictures for KDP, but can only find standard color by number book generators. Any ideas of apps that can generate this type??
and out of 9k in sales how much is the profit in the end? minus amazon fees, printing fees, shipping fees..guess instead of 11.99$ there ll be around 3-4$ left to his account? that he has to pay income tax etc of😂😮
This was an incredibly detailed and helpful video for anyone interested in self-publishing. If you're aiming to streamline your process and scale your business, Low Content AI is the perfect companion. It simplifies content creation while ensuring professional results.
They have it for adults it's a small time artists like myself get ripped off by assholes I want to take it all online. I went ahead and published colour by number and then hand published colour by number mystery designs for adults with ADHD and autism and then I dropped off a bunch of these to an addiction medicine clinic and they got you know ripped off. And that is exactly what happens and people say that you haven't seen all this and you haven't seen all that that isn't the case at all it's just people take from each other constantly and try to constantly change and republish work as if it's theirs.
@@WaymakerOracle I'm sorry to learn that your books got ripped-off, especially after doing something kind by giving away a bunch to a clinic. As an artist, I've really wanted to do coloring books to sell on Amazon's KDP platform, but all I hear and read about are rip-off stories when real artists publish on Amazon KDP and Etsy. They find their art appearing in other's coloring books that are compilations of ripped-off artwork, or in collections of images for sale as digital downloads, usually for coloring book maker wanna-be's. The digital age has made it too easy for real artists to be ripped-off and now AI has added to it.
wait wait wait... please... more than 60 000 products, search volumne 23k, magnet IQ 390 -> it is not a good niche, is crowded as much as every other in coloring books
No one is buying these.. don't let the Amazon numbers fool you. It doesn't take into account the number of returns that are made on these things... once someone gets it home and realizes how time consuming they are, how thin the paper is, etc... they are returned.
you're getting on my nerves! all your videos are the same for those who have absolutely no talent, for complete nonentities: they teach how to steal and copy
Great job! I'm also loving the power of AI and I'm dedicating a lot of time making videos about how to leverage the power of AI in Content Creation. Make sure to check it out❤❤
Not going to be with zero competition after this video!
LOL you have that right Mary

Can u send me a link of how to do it, thanks in advance

Maybe some really intense dot to dots?
Paper quality is everything ❤
I'd say color-by-number books are more difficult to create, so there is less competition in that sub-niche of coloring books.
The mystery mosaics for adults are my fav.--Belba family and Jennifer Rolling have some of my favorite. After work, I will watch Hulu or Netflix and color to destress. I like to see what the picture will turn out to be. I buy about 1-2 a month.
I have bought some of the Sunlife ones as well. Those are fun too.
How many pages do these typically come with and do you buy them as physical books or are these digital?
Thank you so much for this 🎉 I’ve started right away creating my first one. I’ll return back with my results when I have them 💪🏼
Can’t wait to hear how it goes!!

Thanks a million!!!$$$
Nice video but unless I missed it, we weren't told how to actually create these books - perhaps a topic for another video?
This was a really great video. I can’t make any books in this niche, but it was very interesting nonetheless!!

Thank you for being honest and transparent. Most UA-camrs don’t tell the ins and outs of this type of thing. ❤
The mosaic quest coloring book is so cool!

This is a great idea. I’m painting and do digital art. I think I can combine the two to create paint by numbers.
Thank you for your video, It was quite useful.

Phooey. This is over my head. All I've wanted to do see to write and sell short stories.
I wonder if you can do this on Book Bolt? 🤔thank you for sharing! ❤❤
I didn't think people wanted different things. They look like fun! ☀
how do you do those colouring pages???
Just watched this amazing best for mind refresh thank you best wishes
Thanks for your kind sharing. I am trying to understand more about coloring books. Am i right to say that sellers will sell a digital coloring book, which the buyer will then need to dowload in digital form and then print in hardcopy for coloring? Or these coloring books are already sold in hardcopy?
These are paperbacks or spiral bound print books
Hi there, what extension are you using to see BSR and details ?
How I can make this kind of books
Good idea! I LOVED color by number as a kid. Not sure if the Book Bolt program is equipped to make this kind of book yet, but I am sure they will eventually. 🙂
We all need to tell them to program it in, don't ya think?😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Show us how to make such books!
How do you make the reveal color by number book?
Thank you for a cool video that makes me think.

Is this your coloring book? If not, how then do you know how much royalties it earned? Was it traditionally published or self-published?
What software creates a paint by numbers from a picture?
Inspired!
COOL, How create it?

How do you make a book like this ?
10000 is not a little competition
Yes 10,000 is quite hight but I don’t think all of them compete in the same exact keyword/niche.
it is on amazon, normal coloring books have a competition rate in the millions !!
Thank you

Can anyone tell me if we can write a review for our won books on Amazon if we buy it at full price just like any other customer? Thanks!
You can, but it is highly likely that this review will be deleted.
ok googled. printing costs alone for a book of 200 pages is nearly 5€ here.
How on earth are the hidden picture ones made?

$1 or $2... per book is a gem for us from poor countries...

Is there any other platform than Amazon?
not that prints the books and then sells them for you
Great question ,,, maybe THAT is the real business to start ,, a dedicated "print on demand" only website 😇
A beautiful face.
Where would I make these pages through? I have Canva and Creative Fabrica
not there
How could you even begin to create these kind of coloring books?
take any color picture and lay a transparent grid over the top, you than have to number all the colours then take the picture away
wait wait wait... please... more than 60 000 products, search volumne 23k, magnet IQ 390 -> it is not a good niche, is crowded as much as every other in coloring books
is she fibbing to us?
❤
Well its got competition now and will be swamped
Hi! I'm just wondering, if you make that much from kdp, why bother with UA-cam videos as well? Does UA-cam pay better?
she didn't make those books she's just pointing out that they exist
Prove the income!! You failed to say tge top books pay a lot in ads!!! Plus the cost to print
How to create ?

Agree 100%, I left a similar comment. Funny thing is (to her advantage) she doesn't look like a con artist! I'm blocking her from my recommendations.
Is anyone here suffering from the problem of blocking books?
amazon blocks any substandard book with low quality artwork, it must be 300pdi and cmyk

So you basically advice people to steal somebody´s original idea?
It's actually not an original idea.
