If you're interested in selling high
quality coloring pages to sell on Amazon,
1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,960
KDP and other websites, then check out
this video.
2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,590
This video will include an easy step by
step guide on researching your coloring
3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,150
book, then the coloring book creation
using an AI software, creating your
4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,000
interior and cover, and then finally
uploads it into Amazon KDP.
5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,630
When creating a book I always like to do
the initial research on Amazon rather
6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,040
than using any paid tools, so the free
tools that I do like to use in.
7
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:30,520
Help a lot.
8
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:33,010
The 1st is AMZ Suggestion Expander.
9
00:00:33,050 --> 00:00:37,040
It's just going to give you a lot more
keywords when you're using the search bar
10
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:38,000
for more ideas.
11
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:39,530
The second tool is by self-publishing
12
00:00:39,650 --> 00:00:43,760
Titans and it's a BSR and keyword
research tool.
13
00:00:43,770 --> 00:00:47,370
So it's going to give you a top extension
bar with a lot of useful information
14
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:49,650
summarizing things and then a single
product.
15
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:53,700
Information bar as well, and this is
going to provide you with useful
16
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:55,740
information on each specific book.
17
00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:57,260
Now we're going to use the search bar for
18
00:00:57,270 --> 00:01:00,300
our research as it shows us what people
are searching for.
19
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:04,660
So if we type in coloring books, you can
see all the keywords that you're provided
20
00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:07,380
with. So the benefit of the AMZ expander tool
21
00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:10,460
is that it's going to give you keywords
before, so you can see the grid
22
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,020
highlighted in red and there's another
grid highlighted in green for keywords
23
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:16,070
after. So you're getting so much more keywords.
24
00:01:16,450 --> 00:01:19,520
And you can just take a look and select
what sounds interesting.
25
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:22,290
So we'll go with the coloring books for
adults relaxation.
26
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:26,360
Now you can see that it's got over 30000
thousand results which is quite
27
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:28,770
competitive. But the benefit of the self-publishing
28
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:34,810
Titans BSR and keyword SEO tool is that
it summarizes all the key information
29
00:01:34,930 --> 00:01:35,800
that you would need to know.
30
00:01:35,810 --> 00:01:37,520
So for example, it gives you a keyword
31
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:40,880
niche score.
Anything with a keyword niche score of 60
32
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:42,290
or above is ideal.
33
00:01:42,450 --> 00:01:44,760
Then it also summarizes the total results
34
00:01:44,770 --> 00:01:46,440
of all the book the best.
35
00:01:46,450 --> 00:01:48,880
Tellers rank the reviews and the prices
36
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:50,090
of all the books.
37
00:01:50,130 --> 00:01:52,080
Now this is quite competitive and the
38
00:01:52,090 --> 00:01:57,160
results are too many, so we do again want
to niche down again using the search bar.
39
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:02,280
So we can just take a look at some of the
keywords that I suggest in and you can
40
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:04,480
click on any that may interest you.
41
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:05,960
So in this instance, we're going to go
42
00:02:05,970 --> 00:02:09,020
with Owls.
And you can already see the number of
43
00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:13,460
results have significantly reduced to
only 5000 So we're competing with a lot
44
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:16,820
less books.
22 books on this page and twelve of these
45
00:02:16,830 --> 00:02:18,340
are independently published.
46
00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:19,860
So there is some chance of if your book
47
00:02:19,870 --> 00:02:24,820
is good then it appearing on the first
page, then we can see that the average
48
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:28,580
BSR is over 300,000 thousand don't get
hung up on that number too much.
49
00:02:28,590 --> 00:02:33,500
Too many people focus on finding the
perfect a low BSR when a collection of
50
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:37,300
books with a BSR of 300,000 thousand is
still going to make you money.
51
00:02:37,310 --> 00:02:40,220
Now we can take a look at the books we'll
be competing with.
52
00:02:40,230 --> 00:02:44,550
So just scrolling down, the first two are
sponsored and not related to this niche
53
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:47,310
and this book here is a large print.
54
00:02:47,570 --> 00:02:49,320
Our coloring book and if we take a look
55
00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:53,360
at the box of information above it
provided by self-publishing Titans, we
56
00:02:53,370 --> 00:02:57,640
can see that it has a BSR 500,000
thousand and it was created in August
57
00:02:57,650 --> 00:03:00,360
2022 And I do like the colorful cover.
58
00:03:00,370 --> 00:03:02,730
The next book has a BSR of 226,000
59
00:03:03,570 --> 00:03:06,930
thousand i'm not that too impressed by
the cover.
60
00:03:07,050 --> 00:03:11,490
The book after has an impressive BSR of
36,000 thousand very low.
61
00:03:12,030 --> 00:03:16,460
And we'll quickly take a look at another
book with a BSR of over 1000000 but it
62
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:19,860
does have a lot of reviews, so I can
imagine that does well around Christmas
63
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:25,790
time, followed by another book with a BSR
of over 280,000 thousand released in 2015
64
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:30,380
So there's not too many recent books
within this niche and there is a massive
65
00:03:30,390 --> 00:03:32,260
demand. But just understand that if you were to
66
00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:35,540
create a book, then you're not going to
get a huge amount of sales.
67
00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:39,860
But if you can find 5 or 10 similar
niches, then you can still make good
68
00:03:39,870 --> 00:03:42,020
money. Let's just take a look inside one.
69
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:45,940
These coloring books to understand the
process of creating one of these.
70
00:03:45,950 --> 00:03:51,100
So we can see on the first page we have
this book belongs to followed by a color
71
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:53,830
testing page and then we've got the owl
image.
72
00:03:53,870 --> 00:03:57,900
The next page is then blank, followed by
an owl image and then the next page is
73
00:03:57,910 --> 00:04:00,220
blank. And the reason why the second page is
74
00:04:00,230 --> 00:04:03,620
always blank is because Amazon's pages
are quite thin and you don't want the
75
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,750
coloring to leak on to the next page.
76
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:07,700
Now to create our coloring pages we're
77
00:04:07,710 --> 00:04:12,910
going to be using Mid Journey and Mid
Journey is a text to image air generator
78
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:17,220
that will blow your mind and to access
Mid Journey you need to sign up to is
79
00:04:17,230 --> 00:04:21,100
scored and this is just an online instant
messaging platform where you can build
80
00:04:21,110 --> 00:04:25,540
communities and once you've signed up to
then you can sign in.
81
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:28,860
I'll show you some of the images I've
created using Mid Journey and you can see
82
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:31,750
the first three are related to the beach
and the seaside.
83
00:04:32,310 --> 00:04:35,860
Then I've tried to do a few coloring
pages just based on.
84
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:41,460
Portraits then after that I've tried a
few mandala coloring pages which have
85
00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:43,550
come out really good as well.
86
00:04:43,590 --> 00:04:46,380
And then following that I've also been
87
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:50,310
trying to create animal coloring pages
for kids.
88
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:55,340
And I'm really impressed by the quality
and the speed in which Mid Journey is
89
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:57,430
able to produce these images.
90
00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:59,700
All you need to do is simply type in a
91
00:04:59,710 --> 00:05:02,540
prompt for this one up at Coloring Page
for Kids.
92
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:07,020
Small cute lion, clean lineup, no
background, and with a few minor
93
00:05:07,030 --> 00:05:10,030
adjustments it created this and I'll show
you how to do so.
94
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:13,570
Once you've joined the official Mid
Journey Discord, it can look quite
95
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:16,450
confusing with a lot of different things
going on.
96
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:21,090
But in order to start creating our own
image, we need to go to one of the newbie
97
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:23,210
rooms. So you can choose any of the rooms in
98
00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:25,700
order to start creating your own image.
99
00:05:25,780 --> 00:05:27,050
If you want further information on
100
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:31,940
getting started, there's also a section
on getting started there.
101
00:05:32,180 --> 00:05:36,650
You've also got an FAQ section and it's
important that you know the rules in
102
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:40,090
order to get started with Mid Journey so.
103
00:05:40,100 --> 00:05:43,260
If you are a free user, you get 25
104
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:46,570
prompts. However, if you are a free user, you do
105
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:51,450
only have a noncommercial license and you
can click the link and you can Scroll
106
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:54,330
down to read further about that a little
bit more.
107
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:59,500
And as you can see here, noncommercial
means not primary, intended or directed
108
00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:02,620
towards commercial advantage or monetary
compensation.
109
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,310
If you would like to purchase a
subscription for commercial use, you need
110
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:13,150
to click on Trial Support, then press
forward slash subscribe and click if the
111
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,680
option comes up.
112
00:06:14,860 --> 00:06:17,570
Then just give it a moment and click open
113
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:23,090
subscription page and then you'll be
taken to where you'll see a few of these
114
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:27,170
subscription options.
So I've gone with the 10$ a month as I've
115
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:31,570
used up the free version but you are
limited to 200 generations each month.
116
00:06:31,580 --> 00:06:36,410
I will go up to the 30$ a month as
there's a lot more benefits but just be
117
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:40,690
aware whatever you create is a public and
if you wanted to have your own private
118
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:44,260
bot then it is an extra 25$ on top each
month.
119
00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:47,640
Now to start creating your designs, if
you're in the free plan then you need to
120
00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:52,530
come down to one of the newcomer rooms
and then start typing.
121
00:06:52,650 --> 00:06:58,040
However, you'll see that it can be quite
chaotic in these rooms as all the
122
00:06:58,050 --> 00:07:00,890
newcomers will be creating their designs
in there.
123
00:07:01,330 --> 00:07:05,400
But if you are paying for the basic
subscription then you will get your own
124
00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:07,890
personal bot which I prefer using.
125
00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:09,600
Now in order to start creating our
126
00:07:09,610 --> 00:07:14,160
designs we need to make sure the settings
are right so you can just type in forward
127
00:07:14,170 --> 00:07:16,600
slash. Settings and then enter and then it'll
128
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:20,840
come U with where you can adjust your
settings O The first setting I like to
129
00:07:20,850 --> 00:07:24,800
have it on is MJ version 4 which is
Midjourney version four, the most utodate
130
00:07:24,810 --> 00:07:26,210
and advanced version.
131
00:07:26,810 --> 00:07:29,400
Then Niji mode is just an anime version
132
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:31,410
of Mid Journey if you want to try that.
133
00:07:31,570 --> 00:07:33,240
Now there are different types of quality
134
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:36,960
settings and these just influence the
quality of image that you get back.
135
00:07:36,970 --> 00:07:42,200
So with the free or 10 subscription I
would only recommend the base quality as
136
00:07:42,210 --> 00:07:44,360
you won't use so much of your credits up.
137
00:07:44,370 --> 00:07:46,880
But the 30 subscription is unlimited so
138
00:07:46,890 --> 00:07:49,250
you can go with the high quality.
139
00:07:49,410 --> 00:07:51,160
In terms of style, this just gives Mid
140
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:54,000
Journey the ability to stay closer to
your prompt than I usually.
141
00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:56,840
Leave it on style medium, you've got
three different.
142
00:07:56,850 --> 00:07:57,960
Options to upscale.
143
00:07:57,970 --> 00:08:00,160
So beta upscale is more detailed, Light
144
00:08:00,170 --> 00:08:03,970
upscale is a lot less detailed and I
usually have it on regular upscale.
145
00:08:04,170 --> 00:08:07,200
Public mode would allow anyone to see
what you're creating, while private mode
146
00:08:07,210 --> 00:08:12,200
you have to pay an extra 25$ so fast mode
creates images much faster but uses a lot
147
00:08:12,210 --> 00:08:18,280
more capacity as you only have a limited
amount of fast hours and then relax mode
148
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:21,240
takes a lot longer but you won't use as
much capacity.
149
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:25,360
So if you are using mid Journey a lot
then I'd recommend relax mode, but if you
150
00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:26,800
are using it just every once in a.
151
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:28,600
While then you can stick with fast mode,
152
00:08:28,610 --> 00:08:32,400
but test out different settings and don't
be afraid to find the best ones for you.
153
00:08:32,409 --> 00:08:37,840
Now to start creating your design, just
go to the bottom and put in forward
154
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,760
slash. Imagine then you're going to have prompt
155
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:45,720
come up and then you just need to start
thinking about who your coloring book is
156
00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:49,520
going to be for, what design you're going
to have, and what style you're going to
157
00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:53,570
have. O for this We already know that we're
158
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:55,490
creating coloring books for adults.
159
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:56,850
Based on the research we've done on
160
00:08:56,860 --> 00:08:59,700
Amazon, That's going to be an owl.
161
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:01,890
We want clean line art, and we're going
162
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:03,500
to have mandala design.
163
00:09:03,910 --> 00:09:05,580
And I usually like to create my coloring
164
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:08,190
books size 8 5 by 11.
165
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:10,420
So in order to have it fit that size
166
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:14,150
you're going to need to do aspect or
ratio 2 by 3.
167
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:17,780
Then you can just click enter and it
usually takes about a minute to create
168
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:20,540
the design.
But to save time I have speed it up and
169
00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:25,100
we can just see the detail and high
quality these coloring pages are and that
170
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:27,260
all these designs were created in under a
minute.
171
00:09:27,270 --> 00:09:28,550
It's absolutely outstanding.
172
00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:30,580
If we take a look at the largest owl you
173
00:09:30,590 --> 00:09:33,900
can see by its claws it's got too many so
it doesn't.
174
00:09:33,910 --> 00:09:38,180
Always produce the perfect designs and it
can sometimes show a few odd things, but
175
00:09:38,190 --> 00:09:39,540
AI will only get better.
176
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:41,060
So there's a few things that we can do
177
00:09:41,070 --> 00:09:43,070
with these designs, and one is to
upscale.
178
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:47,310
And this is just to enlarge the image
without any loss in quality.
179
00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:52,710
So each image is numbered, so you've got
one two three and four.
180
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,990
You've got the option to rerun the
prompt.
181
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,870
If you're not happy with the designs that
it's come out with, then you've also got
182
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,600
the option or variation.
183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,950
So if there's any particular design that
184
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,710
you do like, then you can create four
more variations of that design.
185
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,550
So in this instance, we're going to go
with variation 3 and this will create 4
186
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,910
variations of design number three.
187
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,870
Now our four variations have been
188
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,510
completed. Then we can just click on them and
189
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,180
compare. Now although all these designs are highly
190
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:27,020
detailed, they are quite similar and I
don't want my coloring page is to be
191
00:10:27,030 --> 00:10:31,620
quite boring.
So another feature that can use to add
192
00:10:31,630 --> 00:10:36,420
your own variation is called Remix and
you can find this in the settings and
193
00:10:36,430 --> 00:10:39,660
just make sure you put a forward slash
before this in order to access the
194
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:42,750
settings and make sure you click remix
mode.
195
00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:47,990
And this amazing setting actually uses a
text box that will allow you to.
196
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Adjust your variation based on your
prompt.
197
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,550
So this time when we click on variation
one you'll see this text box come up and
198
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,110
it will allow us to type some words.
199
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,750
So I've chosen Mandala background as I'm
200
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,230
happy with the design but I just want
something a bit more creative and it's
201
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,950
going to be interesting to color in.
202
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,950
And once these have uploaded you can just
203
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,480
click on the image to see the designs.
204
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:15,240
And I'm a lot more pleased with these.
205
00:11:15,250 --> 00:11:19,760
We can see that it has included the
mandala design on the background flowers
206
00:11:19,770 --> 00:11:21,320
and on the owl.
207
00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:22,920
Also, I think they look a lot more
208
00:11:22,930 --> 00:11:25,840
interesting rather than the previous
variations that we created.
209
00:11:25,850 --> 00:11:29,400
Before you take a look at image 3, you
can see that the feathers have gone
210
00:11:29,410 --> 00:11:33,720
everywhere and that sometimes does happen
with a I as we talked about before.
211
00:11:33,730 --> 00:11:38,520
It's not perfect, but it will get better
now once we know that we are happy with
212
00:11:38,530 --> 00:11:41,450
images 1.
Two and four.
213
00:11:41,460 --> 00:11:47,050
We can upscale them in order to create
enlarged versions for our coloring book.
214
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:52,660
It can take a bit longer than a minute to
upscale, but once this is done then we
215
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:56,380
can scroll through the images and make
sure that we're happy with everything
216
00:11:56,460 --> 00:11:57,450
that we see.
217
00:11:57,460 --> 00:11:59,090
You can click on them and take a look
218
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,420
through each picture individually.
219
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:03,090
I'm just going to use 3 examples for this
220
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:06,300
video, but just make sure that you add a
lot more.
221
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Coloring pages using the steps I've shown
in this video.
222
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:15,550
In order to save this as a PNG you just
need to click web and then Yep and then
223
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:21,070
you'll be shown your image again and you
just need to click save with prompt and
224
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:27,910
soon as you click that then it will save
it as a PNG which you can upload to any
225
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,510
software to start creating your coloring
book.
226
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,630
Now you can click the home option and
then upscale and it's going to show you
227
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,470
your other.
Upscaled designs and you just click the
228
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,270
three dots and then you can click save
image again and then you'll also have
229
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,400
your PNG files for your coloring book.
230
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,990
So just before starting your interior for
231
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,950
your coloring book, you might just want
to make sure that the image quality is
232
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,480
good enough and we can see here that
we've got.
233
00:12:57,170 --> 00:13:02,320
One oh two four by one five three six,
and this is more than good enough for the
234
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:06,360
85 by 11 coloring book that we're going
to create and Justice make sure that you
235
00:13:06,370 --> 00:13:08,130
save that and download it as a PNG.
236
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,070
Now in order to create your coloring
237
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,030
book, just use a software that you're
most familiar with.
238
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,360
I always suggest canvas as it's really
easy and free for anybody to use.
239
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,150
So just make sure that we get our sizes
right.
240
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:28,790
So we're going 8 5 by 11 and all you need
to do is click create design to start
241
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:29,950
creating your coloring book.
242
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,110
Just use the first page as this belongs
243
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,870
to and then second page will be blank
third page.
244
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,000
Then you can start adding your designs
in.
245
00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:42,930
And this just follows the exact same
structure as the Owl coloring book we
246
00:13:42,940 --> 00:13:45,020
looked at earlier on in the video.
247
00:13:45,220 --> 00:13:46,930
So just make sure that you have your
248
00:13:46,940 --> 00:13:50,650
design followed by a blank page to
prevent bleed through and then you just
249
00:13:50,660 --> 00:13:53,010
repeat that format throughout the
coloring book.
250
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:56,930
Now if you want to create a similar
design, all you have to do is go to the
251
00:13:56,940 --> 00:14:01,340
elements and type in Mandala into the
search bar.
252
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,440
And then click enter and then you'll be
showing designs.
253
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,830
Avoid any with the crown if you don't
have the Canva Pro subscription, and then
254
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,040
you can go to the text in order to find a
similar text.
255
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,000
The good thing is Canva shows
complementary text styles.
256
00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:21,340
And then in order to just create the line
then all you can do is go to lines and
257
00:14:21,350 --> 00:14:23,740
shapes and you can find the line there.
258
00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:25,460
Now to add a blank page all you need to
259
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:29,300
do is click in the right hand corner to
add another page.
260
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:33,060
And to start adding your coloring pages
that you created on mid journey you just
261
00:14:33,070 --> 00:14:35,460
need to upload them first of all.
262
00:14:35,470 --> 00:14:37,740
Then align it to the page properly and
263
00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:42,860
add a border around it so that customers
will not color in outside of the
264
00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:45,350
boundaries. So to give you a quick demonstration of
265
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,150
how I did this, just make sure you go to
uploads, click on the image you want to
266
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:55,470
use, then you can double click on the
image in order to crop any bits out.
267
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,960
So I just want to crop out those areas
that you're not able to color in.
268
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,350
And once you've done that, just click the
background and then you can align it to
269
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,070
the pink purple outline.
270
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,120
That will keep it within the bleed.
271
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,910
Then in order to create the border you
can go to elements and then you can.
272
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,670
Just simply type in Square outline Or you
can just find an outline in the lines and
273
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,600
shapes section.
274
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,720
But as I've already used a previous
275
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,830
outline in the other coloring page, I'll
just copy and paste that onto this.
276
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,480
Then all you need to do is keep on
repeating the process.
277
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,710
I advise that you have at least 20 pages
within coloring book and this will end up
278
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,390
being over 40 pages in total due to the
blank pages as well.
279
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,520
Now to download it, make sure you go to
share, click download.
280
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Make sure that.
281
00:15:43,130 --> 00:15:46,760
The file type is a PDF print and that you
282
00:15:46,770 --> 00:15:50,210
also use CMYK best for professional
printing.
283
00:15:50,410 --> 00:15:54,960
Click that and if you are using a free
account you will have to try Canva Pro
284
00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:58,010
free for 30 days but you can cancel at
any time.
285
00:15:58,170 --> 00:16:01,440
Now to get started with your cover and
get the correct dimensions make sure you
286
00:16:01,450 --> 00:16:02,370
go to kdp.
287
00:16:02,770 --> 00:16:05,080
amazon.com cover calculator and you can
288
00:16:05,090 --> 00:16:10,250
put in your book information and then
it's going to give you the dimensions
289
00:16:10,330 --> 00:16:12,490
that you need to create your cover.
290
00:16:12,850 --> 00:16:15,440
And then you can go to whatever software
291
00:16:15,450 --> 00:16:17,440
that you like to use in order to create
covers.
292
00:16:17,450 --> 00:16:19,160
In this instance we use in Canvern.
293
00:16:19,170 --> 00:16:21,200
You can put those dimensions in and it's
294
00:16:21,210 --> 00:16:24,000
going to create your cover page for you.
295
00:16:24,010 --> 00:16:26,240
Now for our cover design, we can go back
296
00:16:26,250 --> 00:16:29,280
to mid journey and you can see the prompt
that I've used here.
297
00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:34,120
I've taken out coloring page for adults
and I've just put in our multi color
298
00:16:34,130 --> 00:16:38,720
sitting on branch because I wanted it to
replicate the coloring page style and
299
00:16:38,730 --> 00:16:42,250
then I upscaled a design I was happy
with.
300
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:47,140
And then in order to download it, you
just click web and then you can go down.
301
00:16:47,740 --> 00:16:52,250
Make sure you're happy with everything,
check the resolution and then make sure
302
00:16:52,260 --> 00:16:58,250
you click save and then you can go back
to your Canva page and make sure you
303
00:16:58,260 --> 00:17:01,230
upload it.
And once it's uploaded, all you need to
304
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:07,390
do is click on it and then make sure that
you've got it on one side of the page.
305
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,190
Make sure it's always on the right hand
side and then you just make sure that it
306
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,119
fits the page properly.
307
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Then the next part is for the Backpage.
308
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,109
We want it to be the exact same color as
the front page.
309
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,230
So all we need to do is go to the colors,
then there's a color picker tool.
310
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,640
Then you just hover over that color and
then it's going to make the background
311
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,120
exactly the same color.
312
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,230
So the Backpage is going to be identical
313
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,320
to the front page.
314
00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:35,980
Now what we want to do is add some text.
315
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:42,850
So find an interesting text that will be
look great on the cover and that is U to
316
00:17:42,860 --> 00:17:46,860
you but go through Amazon and take a look
at other fonts that have been used.
317
00:17:47,290 --> 00:17:50,720
And it is a little bit difficult to see
the font.
318
00:17:50,730 --> 00:17:57,480
So what you can do is add a square to the
background in order to make it stand out
319
00:17:57,490 --> 00:17:58,200
a little bit more.
320
00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:59,520
So we're just going to quickly change
321
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:01,050
that to black.
322
00:18:01,130 --> 00:18:04,250
And then you can just put that behind the
323
00:18:04,490 --> 00:18:08,760
title in order to make it stand out a
little bit more and then just make sure
324
00:18:08,770 --> 00:18:12,680
that we get the measurements right and
just bring that in a little bit.
325
00:18:12,690 --> 00:18:16,600
Another thing you can do if maybe you
don't like that too much, is just fade
326
00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:19,040
it. Into the background a little bit so we
327
00:18:19,050 --> 00:18:23,680
can still see our art design in the
background and I think that has a nice
328
00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:26,960
effect. Now we want to make the Backpage look a
329
00:18:26,970 --> 00:18:27,880
bit more interesting.
330
00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:30,640
You can add coloring pages from your
331
00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:35,920
interior, just download them as a PNG and
then place them on your back cover, just
332
00:18:35,930 --> 00:18:40,440
so that the customer gets an idea of what
the interior pages look like and just
333
00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:42,810
make sure that everything is aligned
properly.
334
00:18:43,010 --> 00:18:46,880
Then you might want to add some text and
you don't really need to go overboard
335
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:49,640
with. This you can just simply explain what is
336
00:18:49,650 --> 00:18:52,490
contained within the book and align it
properly.
337
00:18:52,690 --> 00:18:57,800
Then you just want to make sure that you
give a name to your design at the top
338
00:18:57,810 --> 00:19:01,890
just in case you've got a lot of files
that you want to make it easy to find.
339
00:19:02,050 --> 00:19:05,250
And then you can download it by clicking
share, download.
340
00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:12,290
Make sure that it's a PDF, print again,
ideally CMYK and download.
341
00:19:13,330 --> 00:19:17,850
We run to the final stage now and all
this includes is uploading it to Amazon
342
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:22,240
and you're going to need to go to
kdpamazon dot com and then you'll come to
343
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:27,160
this page and you just click the create
button and make sure that it's a
344
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:30,800
paperback. Then you're going to need to put in your
345
00:19:30,810 --> 00:19:33,130
book title and subtitle.
346
00:19:33,490 --> 00:19:35,410
Just make sure the keywords are related
347
00:19:35,490 --> 00:19:38,010
to what you want to rank for in Amazon.
348
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:40,860
Then you're going to put in your author
349
00:19:40,870 --> 00:19:44,150
name and just make sure that is something
unique.
350
00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:46,270
Then the description.
351
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:49,740
You can use chat gpt you can click the i
352
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:50,750
o and the copyrights.
353
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,350
Then you need to fill in the keyword
354
00:19:53,390 --> 00:19:55,950
section next and just make sure they're
all keywords related.
355
00:19:56,270 --> 00:20:00,380
Then categories and just make sure that
you choose a category related to the
356
00:20:00,390 --> 00:20:03,290
book. It's not a low content book and you can
357
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,370
read the description of what a low
content book is there just repeated
358
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:11,090
content?
Or does it include a large print font and
359
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:12,700
then there's no add up content.
360
00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:15,010
Then you just click save and continue and
361
00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:16,980
that's the first page done.
362
00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:19,880
Now you can Click to get a free ISBN but
363
00:20:19,890 --> 00:20:23,210
if you want to publish to other
marketplaces you will need your own ISBN
364
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:26,760
and I always have the interior black and
white.
365
00:20:26,770 --> 00:20:29,490
We already know the size is 8 5 by 11.
366
00:20:29,650 --> 00:20:32,000
It's going to be no bleed and I prefer my
367
00:20:32,010 --> 00:20:33,930
coloring page covers glossy.
368
00:20:34,210 --> 00:20:37,640
Then just upload the interior page and
369
00:20:37,650 --> 00:20:42,160
then after that you need to upload the
cover and once those have been uploaded
370
00:20:42,170 --> 00:20:46,610
you can click launch previewer and then
you can actually view the book.
371
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:50,420
It's showing us the cover, so just make
sure everything fits within the red lines
372
00:20:50,430 --> 00:20:52,990
and there's no issues detected, which is
fantastic.
373
00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:56,380
Then we can just take a look through the
interior pages and just make sure
374
00:20:56,390 --> 00:20:59,550
everything's fine, which it is and I'm
happy with everything.
375
00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:02,430
So then we can just go down below and
click approve.
376
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,040
So we're happy with everything and then
we can take a look at the printing costs
377
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,520
and then click save and continue.
378
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,430
Then we're onto the final page where
379
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,200
we're just setting the price of the book.
380
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,630
I always like to price my books
381
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,800
competitively. So I've just gone with six ninety nine
382
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,550
and then you can go to expanded
distribution just to make a bit more as
383
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,960
well from bulk orders.
384
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,150
Then the rest of the prices in the other
385
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,870
marketplaces, I just like to round that
to 99 to just get a little bit more than
386
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,880
you can just click.
387
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,750
Publish your paperback book if you're
388
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,170
happy with everything.
