How quickly should you move on from a failed product and move on to the next one? Should it be based on budget or a timeline? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I've got something exciting coming for you guys, I can't wait to share very soon...
Thanks Chris for the guide. Seems the discord link is now invalid
The one thing I admire about Mr Raydog is his transparency and he says it like it is ... no sugar coating... thanks Chris
Amazing breakdown. Thank you Chris.
Thanks!
I've been publishing coloring books for a year now. I must say it's a roller coaster.
Certainly is - in profit though?
@@ChrisRaydog overall yes, but nothing spectacular. I thought I've got the hang of it a year ago, especially when I combined AI drafting with professional artists rework of those drafts, but no. I still have no sure way of good launching for coloring books. just started short videos for marketing - maybe it'll help.
@@ChrisRaydog I'd correct myself - not only short video but off-Amazon methods of marketing in general. cause I can make a good-enough coloring book and even get in on the first page for its main keywords for some time but I can't get it to sell consistently and make profit. when I cut off the ads, it dies away
@@vladimir.zlokazov What kinda CPC's/ACOS are you getting for your books?
@@ChrisRaydog it differs a lot from book to book but in best cases I can get to 40-50% ACOS with around 0.28-0.35 CPC.
I'm new to your channel and watching your videos I'm learning alot. A big thank you to you for explaining in such an easy and clear way. Also I have a request...I would appreciate it alot if you make a specific video on how to make great book covers for coloring book. I suck in making covers. So it would help me alot. You can show 10 sample covers for explanation from your old work or you could also explain atleast 20 book covers from amazon telling the reason behind its excellency. Whatever you feel more OK with it. ^_^
Copy of Copy of Copy of Flowers lol. Great video as always!! AND Chris Raydog website, woohoo..

Grerat video as always! The approach to coloring books is exactly the same as researching for fiction novels as well. You need to find the right genre (or sub-genre), and then you need to see what the expectations are within that, then go above that and research the tropes and see if there's any spins you can do on those existing tropes in order to stand out.
I wanted to know how can i make amazing colored cover pages to shine in the list.i dont have budget to hire someone but wanted create exellent book covers.
I don't know why, but I uploaded a book last year before Christmas, but even with the right keywords, it does not show 😩. It's not a coloring book, it's a story in verse book...and i do believe the content is unique as i did not find this subject online. I am super annoyed because i really had high hopes for it. Unfortunately i don't have any funds to promote it. The same goes for my other books. I did work a lot on the covers, the research and so on, but...nothing. No result whatsoever. And yes it frustrates me because i looked at the competition, and mine is way better. For example i did an alphabet tracing book, and created unique 4 verses poems for each letter... Nothing. Meanwhile i see absolute crappy books, black and white, completely boooooring, with horrible illustrations, selling like crazy...i mean wtf??
Hi Chris. New subscriber. Going to watch this one and have watched a few other videos (all great!) though feels a bit overwhelming where to start with your vids. Which ones do you advise I watch for someone who is new to creating KDP colouring books?
Nice to have you on board :)
And yeah, this is the unfortunate nature of YT videos.
If you have a specific area that you'd want to start with, let me know and I can try and guide you in a direction
@@ChrisRaydog Thanks :-) Am trying to hone down what I need to know to get started. Have set up accounts, signed up to book bolt (though not sure if that is best one or not for creation), to use AI or not, how to start with low expenditure when getting started, trying to get a feel for topics/ideas, keywords (only learnt about this after watching one of your vids), ads (again never knew about those until one of your vids!) - basically everything! So thought I'd ask which is best ones to look at initially, though this one looks like it may potentially tick those initial boxes? I have the tenacity to see this through and aren't afraid of hard work to see it through. Thanks in advance as I think I'm going to learn a lot from you.
@@annieanonymous611 Hi Annie, I think a good idea would be to join my FB group and post there so I can give a more detailed answer etc
@@ChrisRaydog How can I join your FB group?
Chris, after spending hours watching videos on KDP I cant believe im just finding you now! Wondering if you could offer some advice, i currently have around 35 colouring books on amazon and had about 100 sales over these books without ads, im struggling to bring in constant sales each month, with some months having as few as 3 sales. Would putting money into advertising change this in your opinion? Or is it better to run ads on future books and leave the ones I already have alone?
do you recommend a course for creating them?
Totally agree. They say coco wyo books are simple because they know nothing about drawing
17:38 - You've misspelled 'Scenery' as 'Scenary'... just trying to help, great video!
Thank you - yes, this was changed before publishing thankfully! Glad you enjoyed the video
I was doing a little inspiring research all I saw was a lot of books that I couldn't tell one author from the other. There was no branding, they all look like they went to the same person to create their books. When I clicked on their profile, a lot of them only had one or two books.
Hi Chris,
If you find a second I'd have a question, in April you sold 3392 units and you mentioned that you currently have about 31 coloring books. I remember in another video you said that one of your coloring books has a BSR of less than 1k and sells about 200 pieces per day which should give a much higher result. With that said, here it comes out to about 113 units per day of everything. Would you reveal how many units a day come out of the product with the lowest BSR?
That one I think would have been around 1k during q4 and isn't near that number now, I think that one is maybe around 50 a day ATM but q4 will be bigger for that book and the new ones , hopefully
@@ChrisRaydog Thank you, I'm asking because I'm wondering if I overestimate how many can be sold at a given BSR ;) My best result was 1100 BSR and it came out then I think about 75 units in a day (September), on the other hand in October at 5000 BSR I had 80 units so I guess it also depends what month for a given BSR different sales fall out.
What if you don't have money to run ads? My colouring book only had three other colouring books in its field. I made it was a therapy project for myself then wanted to share it with my community. Its been out 6 weeks had 3 sales. Lots if likes when advertised it on Instagram. Not sure where to go from here?
link to your books on amazon
Where's the link to your friend's stock images?
