Its been 1 month since I saw your video and made 2 coloring books and uploaded them on amazon. I came back to this video to say my thanks since I got my first purchase. Your video is super helpful. Thank you so much. May God Bless You!!!
I'm wondering did you sell one coloring book, or a few coloring books to one person, or did you get a wholesale bulk purchase from a store? I'm interested in knowing what you sold, if you are interested in sharing that with us?
I had to absolutely come back to this video to give you my most sincere thank yous because girllll, I put out my first coloring book May 19th, and just submitted my 2nd coloring book today and Ive already made over 50 sales in just the last 2 weeks of May with my first book. (which btw made top new release in less than 24 hours)..This video is super easy to follow step by step.... This video is sooo helpful and you are amazing for putting this out!!!! Thank you so much and please keep putting out more videos like this because you are a great teacher and I am enjoying this journey very much so!!! :)
I love this!!! Thank you so much for coming back to share your results with me - it made my day :) So happy to hear that you found my videos helpful in your KDP journey and that you are able to see these awesome results with your sales! Congratulations and thank you again!!
Congratulations te only person who really teach the amazon measures , a lot of people are doing videos only for likes they don’t really explain everthing we need to publish
This had to be one of the best KDP tutorials I have watched! Very good in terms of detail and clarity. Your video makes tackling KDP seem doable. Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for providing this in-depth video! Specifically, the parts where you show how to determine the KDP sizes, trim, bleed, margins, etc., and how to format your Canva project accordingly, how to format the cover properly with KDP's cover calculator, and how to upload the whole thing properly -- these things are GOLD-NUGGETS of information on areas that could be tricky and hard to figure out. I was so overwhelmed and intimidated by the process when I first set out to start publishing coloring books a few months ago... UNTIL I found your video. Since then, I've published 3 coloring books and I'm about to finish the 4th one, and every single time I work on a new book, I always come back to this video and watch the formatting parts again to make sure I do everything right. Ivy, you are a life-saver! THANK YOU!
Thank you for your very detailed feedback and such a kind comment! Really appreciate it and I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and found the details helpful! :) Congratulations on publishing 3 books already!! All the best on your KDP journey.
I made sure to follow along practically as you were taking us through the steps required to successfully publish on KDP, all six of them, and having successfully completed them, I am now eager to see whether Amazon KDP will approve my Paperback. Thank you Ivy for sharing this with us.
Your tutorial gave a detailed and actionable explanation of low-content publishing. To enhance productivity, Low Content AI is a perfect solution that automates repetitive tasks, helping creators focus on creativity.
I watched a video that said this can be done in 10 minutes and once I began the process it was clear it wasn't a 10-minute start to finish for a beginner. There were a number of things I was wondering about and you addressed it in this video. I appreciate your detailed instructions, pace and willingness to share.
Watched 1000s of videos on youtube but didn't find anything useful. Then, I came across your video. OMG, I am so glad I found you. Usually, for these things people have created courses, so that they can make money. I must applaud you of creating such a detailed video which actualy not only helped me but also others to launch their first book without any fear. I wish you all the best and may God give you everything you desire in this world!!! We need more people like you who really want to help others. Thank you so much Ivy
Wow, thank you so much for your very kind message! Means so much to hear that people are finding value in my videos - thank you so much and I really appreciate yours and everyone's support of my channel. :) All the best!
Hi Ivy, your video is amazing. I just retired and was really bored doing nothing when your video came up on my FB account last week. After watching your step by step. I was able to create my own coloring book. It was already published at Amazon. I was able to make 4 books since last week, and working on my next 3 books. I used to teach multi media arts and this is really a nice tool for beginners like me to have a book published. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad this video inspired you to start something new! :) Congratulations on publishing your coloring books and wishing you all the success in your KDP journey!
Your videos are so helpful and descriptive. Going from KDP to canva with the measurements etc, explaining bleed, no other video does it like this. Thanks so much!
This guide was incredibly detailed and easy to follow. For those who want to produce more books in less time without sacrificing quality, Low Content AI is an excellent option. It helps you generate high-quality content quickly and efficiently, making it a valuable addition to any creator's toolkit.
I usually don't comment but feel like I need to do so today. I had set a target to publish a book on Amazon KDP for over 18 months but made no traction. Initially, I feared it might not measure up, and then I was concerned about where to start. Your video, along with the one where you created the square book, was all I needed to get started. The booking-making was a family affair (My 3 girls and I). It took us three days, but we have successfully published my first book. Even if I never make a sale, I still owe you my thanks for showing me how possible it was. Thank you for what you are doing.
I'm so glad! Thank you for your very kind comment and I'm so happy to hear that my videos have enabled you and your 3 girls to publish your first book - Congratulations!! :)
This is the most detailed tutorial I have found. I could hug you. Thanks for this!!!! I watched it from beginning to end with no pauses. It was engaging, I followed along with no confusion, and I feel so much more encouraged to try this. Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Ivy, this step by step tutorial was 1000000% helpful. I was able to create my coloring book along side you with very little complications. I only got stuck on two things and they were small things that I figured out quickly (Im using a different laptop than you). I am so excited to see my book published! Thank you sooooooo very much for taking your time to teach others in depth on how to make this.
Thank you so much for you very kind comment! I'm so glad this video played a part in the publishing of your first book! Means a lot to me for you to come back and leave me a comment to share your outcome - thank you so much and all the best! :)
You are the only reason why I was able to create my own colouring book within two days and publish it on amazon kdp. All thanks to you ❤❤❤ and your style of explaining is simple and understandable yet fun and engaging. Loads of love and blessings.
Thank you so much for sharing this and for your very kind words! I'm so glad to hear that you were able to publish your coloring books following my tutorial - all the best with your KDP journey! :)
Absolutely the best tutorial video I have found so far and the step by step guide is so helpful thankyou! I’ve never published a book before so I am excited to get started!
I can only join the others, by saying, that your video really is the most helpful one. Thank you for taking the time, explaining step by step and the options and tools that exist. I, myself, am really interested in this topic but am totally new to it. So, I basically get so frustrated with the content creators, who say "Just do this and that, generate multiple pictures at once, one click here, copy n paste picture there, play with the settings, till you're satisfied, upload on kdp, get rich - easypeasy!" I definitely have saved it and you won me as new subscriber! Thanks again! ❤
Thank you so much for your very kind comment! You are too kind :) I'm so glad to hear that you found my video to be helpful and thank you so much for your support and for subscribing!
I am so excited. With your amazing step by step TH-cam video, I have created my very first coloring book. Your video was so easy to follow and understand. 2 thumbs up. Extremely helpful.
You're very welcome! I did get feedback from Amazon. They asked that I remove all template text and guides from my cover file. I don't think you did that in the video, did you? HELP please@@ivyhang5084
just made my first book, waiting on kdp to update there tax info problem then i can publish, thank you for the very indepth video going over the steps, im confident now, id be able to publish more, and hopefully make some passive income to quit my crappy 9-5, thank you sm! ill comment once i publish and start seeing success
Thank you so much for your kind words and I’m so glad to hear that my videos have inspired you to take action! Taking action is the key to success - wishing you all the best in your kdp journey! :)
Great, easy-to-follow instructions including uploading to Amazon. I always look forward to your videos. Thanks. You give me the confidence to try on my own.
Alex, i don't know if you remember me. Over the past 2 years, I've been on your streams, commented on your videos, and emailed you my resume for help. I finally got a data analyst position 2 weeks ago and i love it. Thank you for everything.
Thank you Ivy for such an informative video. As well as being impressed by the video, I also appreciate the way you have taken time to address questions in the comments. Bless you!
Thank you so much for your video and information, Ivy! I had to watch it more than once to make sure I had all the information. I had a few difficulties because I used microsoft designer to help with the illustrations. When I tried to upload to KDP the file was not pdf. It took several tries to convert my files but I was successful. It also takes practice to input the correct information in Microsoft designer to generate the the image you have in mind. I am so grateful for your help. I have already self publised two childrens books. Have a wonderful day! 😊😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment. So glad to hear you were able to overcome the challenges and that you've self-published 2 children's books! Congratulations!! :)
The problem with making a coloring book this way is that the images will be quite inconsistent, with different thickness of the lines and them being quite different in style, which is never desirable, because chances are the buyers won't be happy about it. And another thing, the cover should only include the animals that are used within the interior, not just random animals, people expect the cover to depict what's actually inside the book.
That’s a really great point and would definitely recommend using one method or the other as opposed to mixing both (I wanted to show both methods for tutorial purposes so mixed them up in my video). However you are right that it would be best to make sure the lines are consistent from a thickness perspective:). The other way is on chat gpt to instead of saying black and bold lines you can say thin black lines to match the type of images you find on canva. Thank you for your comment!
I just created and listed my first Amazon colouring book. I will admit that I had the same thoughts. In the listing I do add a note saying that only the white sample images are in the book. I also thought about how there are a few different art styles which I'm not super fond of either, will add a note about that too. End of the day it was still a great helpful 101 tutorial to help get us started! I look forward to designing my very own hand drawn colouring books later this year. Wanted to get the practicalities out of the way first and just get started! There's so much to learn where passive income is concerned but it's also so much fun! 😀
I love this tutorial! But I have 1 question. Aren’t the Canva pictures copyrighted? I’m so scared to do something illegal! 😅 And it’s totally free to get it on Amazon? They just show you the costs so you know what price to put it out for? Thanx!
Thank you so much for making such great tutorials! I would like to say that when I got to making my cover page I had to save the png file to my computer separately so I could upload it onto Canva. It would not let me copy and paste the image directly. Everything else has been spot on and I have enjoyed making my first coloring book. =)
I came across your video some months ago and must say it is still the best video for those just starting out with KDP. I'm on my 24th book and have more in the works. Thanks again!
Wow so glad to hear! Thank you for your kind comment and support. :) also, that’s amazing that you’re on your 24th book - congratulations on your massive progress!
Well done step by step video! The most comprehensive “how to”, easy to understand and follow along video based on the subject matter. Thank you so much for your willingness to share your knowledge and insight! You’re awesome!
Hi Ivy! This video was so helpful thank you! 😊🙏 There were some challenges but I stayed up all night in order to get my first ever colouring book finished and submitted to KDP! Exciting stuff! I will be creating side hustle tutorials like you are in the near future. If ever I learnt something via you, I will be sure to always mention you! I will also direct people to your Canva Publication video. Saves me ever having to create a video on it 😄 You're not the only channel I will be learning from and getting inspiration from but you're the first where side hustles are concerned. Awesome to see how soon your channel has blown up! You deserve it! Keep up the great work and thanks again! 😀👍
Thank you so much for your kind comment and congratulations on publishing your first ever coloring book! Also, all the best with starting your new channel! :)
Hi there, I am also trying to do a colouring book following this video, but for some reason my KDP book cover will not copy & paste onto CANVA. I don’t have CANVA Pro, so not sure if that could be the reason? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 😁
Ivy, thank you so much for this in-depth tutorial.🔥 I'd designed a coloring book in Canva prior to seeing your video but with your help, I was able to fill in the areas that I didn't know and bring my project to PUBLICATION!! Thank you again so much! I'll be sure to report back on the progress. 🙂
I will forever be grateful for you this is a simple side hustle I've ALWAYS wanted to pursue but was scared and in fear because I suck at drawing, I thought that literally was the only way! I could cry with tears of joy because you made all of this so easy with this step-by-step tutorial! You are AMAZING! Thank you so much again i just published my first one and it is in review, but boy does it feel so good after the time we each spend using our beautiful minds and creativity. I feel like a kid again muah xoxo!! HUGS!!
Thank you so much for this kind and heartfelt comment! I'm so glad this video is able to play a part in helping you realize your goal of self-publishing - all the best with your KDP journey!! :)
Thank you, Ivy, for providing the useful information. I am happy to inform you that seeing your content I have tried myself today and published also. Thank you once again.
Thank-you for your outstanding guidance! I've been looking into starting this for a little while. Your tutorial is by far the most thorough that I've found, and makes me feel much more confident in getting started!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! I’m glad this video managed to give you confidence to get started with your kdp journey - wishing you lots of success! :)
Thank you for the step-by-step tutorial of how to create your paperback book cover in Canva. I was previously stuck using the KDP cover creator which does not allow for any creativity on the back cover. Using Canva enabled me to create a truly unique back cover for my coloring book. Your videos are great Thank you so much!
This interactive tutorial was absolutely wonderful! It was so engaging, that I literally followed along and completed my book step-by-step on a dual screen and simply paused the video when needed. This tutorial is exceptional, especially for a visual learner, like myself. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Ivy!!! You are amazing for creating this excellent clear step-by-step video, it's so helpful! I've just finished making my first coloring book, and I know I'll come back to it for the next ones. You are so much appreciated!
Thank you very much for your very kind comment! I'm so glad you found this tutorial helpful and huge congrats on creating your first coloring book! All the best with your KDP journey :)
HI Ivy! Your video made me still awake until this time, 1:00AM. It is not a problem to sleep late as I have learned many things in this tutorial. I'm ready to sell my output tomorrow. Thank you so much. Very helpful!
Thank you for your kind comment and I’m so glad you found the video helpful and you were able to learn something from it- sorry it kept you up late though! All the best with your KDP journey! :)
@@ivyhang5084 If I thought I could make a few bucks on KDP I’d be happy to make a small donation. It just seems to me that the market is overly saturated🤷🏻♂️
Very clear, detailed, and to the point. I appreciate you taking the time to walk through this step by step. I hope to launch my first coloring book in the near future.
Thank you for the step by step help! Your video stood out from a lot of others online. I found your info to be detailed, yet simple enough to follow along at my own pace. Great tutorial!
I love your video!! The best that I have seen. I learned so much. I am so excited about doing my first coloring book. I will keep you posted, Thanks again!! :)

@@ivyhang5084 Hi, I need your help. I uploaded two composition books on Amazon. I designed on Canva and I didn't have any trademark or cartoon object that could be a trademark. Amazon Blocked both of the composition books. Do you know how I can resolve it?
Hi Ivy!! I wanted to thank you for such a fantastic quality video!! It’s very helpful and informative - as a creator I appreciate you immensely! Cheers! Elle

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me such a kind comment! So grateful for everyone's support and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Great tutorial, thank you for keeping the pace going quickly and steadily!
Thank you for your kind comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial! :)
Thank you so much for your video and information, Ivy! I had to watch it more than once to make sure I had all the information. I had a few difficulties because I used microsoft designer to help with the illustrations. When I tried to upload to KDP the file was not pdf. It took several tries to convert my files but I was successful. It also takes practice to input the correct information in Microsoft designer to generate the the image you have in mind. I am so grateful for your help. I have already self publised two childrens books. Have a wonderful day! 😊😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment. So glad to hear you were able to overcome the challenges and that you've self-published 2 children's books! Congratulations!! :)
The problem with making a coloring book this way is that the images will be quite inconsistent, with different thickness of the lines and them being quite different in style, which is never desirable, because chances are the buyers won't be happy about it. And another thing, the cover should only include the animals that are used within the interior, not just random animals, people expect the cover to depict what's actually inside the book.
That’s a really great point and would definitely recommend using one method or the other as opposed to mixing both (I wanted to show both methods for tutorial purposes so mixed them up in my video). However you are right that it would be best to make sure the lines are consistent from a thickness perspective:). The other way is on chat gpt to instead of saying black and bold lines you can say thin black lines to match the type of images you find on canva. Thank you for your comment!
I just created and listed my first Amazon colouring book. I will admit that I had the same thoughts. In the listing I do add a note saying that only the white sample images are in the book. I also thought about how there are a few different art styles which I'm not super fond of either, will add a note about that too.
End of the day it was still a great helpful 101 tutorial to help get us started! I look forward to designing my very own hand drawn colouring books later this year. Wanted to get the practicalities out of the way first and just get started! There's so much to learn where passive income is concerned but it's also so much fun! 😀
I love this tutorial! But I have 1 question. Aren’t the Canva pictures copyrighted? I’m so scared to do something illegal! 😅 And it’s totally free to get it on Amazon? They just show you the costs so you know what price to put it out for? Thanx!
@@NobelActdid you sell any? How much have you made so far from the one book?
That's a good point 👉
This is an incredibly comprehensive tutorial. I'm extremely impressed. Great job.
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
Thank you so much for making such great tutorials! I would like to say that when I got to making my cover page I had to save the png file to my computer separately so I could upload it onto Canva. It would not let me copy and paste the image directly. Everything else has been spot on and I have enjoyed making my first coloring book. =)
So glad you enjoy my tutorials - thank you for your very kind comment and appreciate your support of my channel :)
This video is outstanding and I am excited about publishing my first coloring book. Thank you so much for an outstanding tutorial.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment! All the best with publishing your first coloring book! :)
you are such a great educator, finally a video that covers everything, easy to understand and very comprehensive! thank you!
Thank you so much for your very kind words! I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos and find them helpful :)
I came across your video some months ago and must say it is still the best video for those just starting out with KDP. I'm on my 24th book and have more in the works. Thanks again!
Wow so glad to hear! Thank you for your kind comment and support. :) also, that’s amazing that you’re on your 24th book - congratulations on your massive progress!
Wow! Congratulations. Are they all coloring books?
Thats huge! :) i hope some are already selling aswell! :)
Well done step by step video! The most comprehensive “how to”, easy to understand and follow along video based on the subject matter. Thank you so much for your willingness to share your knowledge and insight! You’re awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your very kind words and support - really appreciate it! :)
Hi Ivy!
This video was so helpful thank you! 😊🙏 There were some challenges but I stayed up all night in order to get my first ever colouring book finished and submitted to KDP! Exciting stuff!
I will be creating side hustle tutorials like you are in the near future. If ever I learnt something via you, I will be sure to always mention you! I will also direct people to your Canva Publication video. Saves me ever having to create a video on it 😄
You're not the only channel I will be learning from and getting inspiration from but you're the first where side hustles are concerned. Awesome to see how soon your channel has blown up! You deserve it! Keep up the great work and thanks again! 😀👍
Thank you so much for your kind comment and congratulations on publishing your first ever coloring book! Also, all the best with starting your new channel! :)
@@ivyhang5084 Thanks heaps Ivy! 😊🙏
YOU ARE AWESOME IVY!!! THANKS A MILLION!!! I HAVE JUST PUBLISHED MY FIRST COLOURING BOOK :)
You are so welcome! I’m glad to hear you found the video helpful and congratulations on your first publication! :)
Hi there, I am also trying to do a colouring book following this video, but for some reason my KDP book cover will not copy & paste onto CANVA. I don’t have CANVA Pro, so not sure if that could be the reason? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 😁
Ivy, thank you so much for this in-depth tutorial.🔥 I'd designed a coloring book in Canva prior to seeing your video but with your help, I was able to fill in the areas that I didn't know and bring my project to PUBLICATION!! Thank you again so much! I'll be sure to report back on the progress. 🙂
So glad to hear!! Thank you for coming back to leave me a message to share your progress - all the best! :)
I will forever be grateful for you this is a simple side hustle I've ALWAYS wanted to pursue but was scared and in fear because I suck at drawing, I thought that literally was the only way! I could cry with tears of joy because you made all of this so easy with this step-by-step tutorial! You are AMAZING! Thank you so much again i just published my first one and it is in review, but boy does it feel so good after the time we each spend using our beautiful minds and creativity. I feel like a kid again muah xoxo!! HUGS!!
Thank you so much for this kind and heartfelt comment! I'm so glad this video is able to play a part in helping you realize your goal of self-publishing - all the best with your KDP journey!! :)

Thank you, Ivy, for providing the useful information. I am happy to inform you that seeing your content I have tried myself today and published also. Thank you once again.
Thank you for your kind comment and congratulations on publishing your first book! :)
Hi. Did your book get approved? Is it live now on Amazon? All of mine are blocked and I’m worried
In a world of overloaded TH-cam content this stands out as best. I find many videos to be over hyped and confusing. Not this one. Well done
Wow, that's such a kind comment - really appreciate your support! Thank you and all the best with your KDP journey! :)

Thank you for the step-by-step tutorial of how to create your paperback book cover in Canva. I was previously stuck using the KDP cover creator which does not allow for any creativity on the back cover. Using Canva enabled me to create a truly unique back cover for my coloring book. Your videos are great Thank you so much!
So glad to hear! Thank you for your kind comment and I’m glad you found this video helpful :)
This interactive tutorial was absolutely wonderful! It was so engaging, that I literally followed along and completed my book step-by-step on a dual screen and simply paused the video when needed. This tutorial is exceptional, especially for a visual learner, like myself. Thank you so much!
