OMG - I literally published my FIRST book on Amazon - it's a mermaids coloring book that I published on May 3rd. I won't post my link out of respect to your business. I was just searching for ways to market and came across this video. So unreal - I also have 54 pages. I hope this is a good omen!
OMG thank you! I’ve created some AI designs for a coloring book, but couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the gray area. This is a game changer. Thank you! Lol
Thank you for this information. I got inspired to create my own Adult coloring book & your video is helping me to get started right this minute. I appreciate it very much ❤ Thank you again
@@LatoyaNicoleOfficial I have to express my disappointment in the whole process I only had my coloring books up maybe two to three weeks and then I got a notice that my account was terminated. I tried reading and understanding their terms and conditions but it made no sense and I did not see where I violated any of their rules or regulations but it's all good though God has a better plan for me. Also one of the coloring books was based off of my grandkids and I really wanted to purchase it to send to them but once your account is terminated your coloring books are taken off of their site. A real disappointment it was a real nasty how it was done.
@@twanieblack I’m sorry this happened to you. You can try to appeal it but it will most likely take a couple of tries before you speak to an actual human via email. I’d have to agree that when this happens it can be disappointing and the system really needs to be updated when it comes to account terminations. There are other platforms to publish on as well such as Lulu and Ingramspark. But, ultimately things will still work out for you. ❤️🙏🏽
Sorry, this happened to you. So you won’t be able to open a new account with an LLC EIN number and business name and try again. Hope you all the best. 🙏🏾 ….but God
OM gosh Latoya I am so happy I came across your channel! I am starting to design coloring books before launching my KDP shop. This video is so helpful! I look forward to watching more of your videos 🙂
Thanks this is very useful, I'm a Artist and will be making my own little black princesses coloring book(own drawn images) and wasn't sure how to use Canva.
Thank you very much for your wonderful video, it makes my work so much easier, I learned a lot and got answers to some of my questions. Good luck to you and your channel❤
Hi there, thanks a lot for your great videos! I have a general question about KDP publishing. I have created a book on Canva and can use the graphics from there commercially with the pro account. So I have publishing rights etc., but NO copyright. That's what's in their licences written. In the publishing process at KDP, you also show it, there is a checkbox to click on " I own copyright and publishing rights." On request at Canva they have no problem with this. When inquiring at AmazonKDP always comes only "We cannot make a statement about this. We have to check that." How this works is not specified. Do I just upload everything, put it online and simply click on the checkbox and Amazon then decides afterwards whether it's ok? Thank you very much! Best regards Lou
Thank u so much. But adding only text makes it unique please confirm me... Because im doing coloring book. I have done slight modifications by adding ectra lines to it.
@@nounoutech-m8o I don’t suggest using Canva stock images for your coloring books however this video is not about Canva’s stock images…it’s about Canva’s tool that produces AI generated images. I’ve also linked the terms in the description for your reference. ☺️
Yes, people do still make money with coloring books. It's all about finding the right niche and marketing your product well. I’ve made a detailed video on this topic which you can find here [th-cam.com/video/ftANB8rA1c4/w-d-xo.html]. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this video and your other videos LaToya😊. You have BLESSED me in more ways than you can imagine. Maybe you can offer some suggestions....I seem to be stuck with trying to get my SVG image to look smooth, which I'm using Vectorizer AI. The black and white looks blotchy, if that makes sense, and I've played around with the brightness, contrast and the white, but my image still looks blotchy. FYI...I used Magic Media to generate my image, do you have any suggestions? I'm trying my best not to get frustrated, but this seems to be my only hold up. This coloring book is super important to my ministry and prayerfully 🙏I hope it encourages GOD'S little princess who struggle with baldness, as I do. So I really want this creation to represent the message that God want's me to deliver. Sorry for the long explanation, just wanted to share with you the foundation of this special project, anyway's THANK YOU in advance for any suggestions or help you offer🙏❤.
@@ULOAFIA You're definitely not alone! The term "bleed" can be a bit confusing if you're new to book publishing. In the context of Amazon KDP books, "bleed" refers to the extra space around the edges of your pages that allows your design or images to extend all the way to the edge of the page after trimming. Here's a quick breakdown: With bleed: If you want your images or background colors to go all the way to the edge of the page, you need to add bleed. Without bleed: If you don’t need your images or colors to go to the edge of the page, you don't need to add bleed. Your content will have a white border around it instead. I talk about it a bit more in this video: th-cam.com/video/9ZnctrYJfNI/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps!
I have a question I made an 8.5 x11 coloring book.I entered the exact margins and trim based on kdp measurements.Now Everytime I try to publish I get margin is off
@@_yuliyahh_ Hi. No. If you’re creating a book to sell on KDP it needs to be a high quality book. If your prompts don’t generate images that would give the customer a good experience you may want to consider using Midjourney or hiring an illustrator to create original artwork.
I have a question if I want to use thw whole page and I don’t want any borders or use the ruler Will that be ok and Print out good? Does that make sense?
I used leonardo Ai and generated many pics using free cradits and i did edit a lot and uploaded on KDP but they blocked every time. Can you help me plz what could be the reason ?
Hi. I have a situation. I start making coloring books in March. I have seven books in Amazon. Last week I make a Book and in les then a hour is Blocked. Amazon sent me a email the l use some words. So I fix the words and I download again and again Blocked. Now because the book might result in a disappointment costumer experience. The only thing I am doing different is the l am using 8k oil prompts like this for the cover. I downloaded 3 more books in two weeks and all blocked because the same reason may result in a disappointing customer experience. I am claiming my copyright of the book. Maybe I am not supposed to claim because I use Al and is a is a third-party? I just want to know if someone knows what I am doing wrong?? Can I download the book again with different cover and name? Thank you for your help.
Hi. Sorry this happened to you. I recommend not resubmitting the same book until you know and have fixed the EXACT reason it is being rejected. Focus on submitting only high-quality books that include content you have the rights to, including commercial rights to any images, whether they're created by you, licensed, or AI-generated. If you continue to face issues, reach out to Amazon's support via phone or live chat for clarification. They should be able to provide more specific feedback on why your book is being blocked and what steps you need to take to resolve the issue.
17:09 isn't it 26 mermaids? 54 inside pages, with the first being the book belongs to and then starting at page 3, going every other page..... is 26. 52 pages would be 24. No big deal...

You should do a terms and conditions of KDP on your site and do it in layman's terms so that people can understand why they get terminated
They would need to ask KDP or a lawyer

Thank you for the content. Why do you skip a page? Does that help with the images not bleed through
Are you creating a copyright page for your low content books?
Super
How did you generate your book description
You can use ChatGPT to assist
Omg thank you for the tutorial because the templates made no sense lol this is much better. ❤ What size paper do you use for the cover?
amazing tutorial but i did notice your mermaid has 2 tails. which AI tends to do sometimesthank you so much for your help.
yea, definitely watch for stuff like that and extra fingers when creating your book ;-)
Thank you so much for the tutorials, I've really been struggling with this for a while
But I can't find the magic media even after searching on apps

Hi, when selecting an author name and using an alias/possible business name, do you then need an LLC?

Hello! I can’t seem to find magic media anywhere do u suggest something similar?
What if I use a canva font? Does it have to do somethig with author rights?
Is there a minimum image resolution you should stick to when creating these coloring book pages? Or are dimensions the only thing that matters?
i cant get the template for the cover onto canva?? it says it doesnt accept files this big
Enjoyed your video so much, but are you using the pro AI in Canva?

Do I have to individually add borders to each page or is it an easier way? Thanks for the information.
duplicate page or add margins. there is videos for that
i typed the same thing and my images are colored already not sure why they are not black and white
Hi Latoya: Is there a reason you don't use the existing Canva 8.5 x 11 template? Is it because it's no bleed?
Yes, it’s because it’s no bleed and we were creating a book w/ bleed.
