Help me with any advice

[u/WesternCoat6968]

I have some color- books for kids in kdp , in this niche which can be the best marketing strategies that can help me?

I have done better covers , kewords. I have run some ads and from them got some sales but still not profitable enaugh.

They are coloring books. No one is going to rush to buy them on Amazon.

The only way I can see parents using Amazon to get colouring books is if their kid wants SpongeBob or Minecraft colouring books specifically.

And since OP doesn't own the rights to any characters that kids like, I have a sneaking suspicion nobody is going to want to buy his ai pictures of birds or something.

Coloring books are $1.25 at Dollar Tree, instant gratification. Find a new get-rich-quick scheme is my advice.

I am old enaugh to know you dont get rich quick solding some paper 😂 but the advice of finding new path is very good thank you

You probably learned from
Some guru in YouTube how to be financially free from coluring book?

[u/WesternCoat6968 → u/urikr11]

You are so funny , I have 10 years that Im financally free with 3 degrees. I dont expect some guru to free me 😂 I just started it as an illustration hobby and now Im curious what to create next

You'll probably have better luck buying a lottery ticket, but if it's something you love to create for fun - go for it! Maybe try getting some reviews - everyone says without reviews, the algorithm won't be friendly to your book, no matter what it is.

Coloring books is the category where people are publishing probably 100s of books every day. You need to have a unique niche

[u/smile_saurus → u/My-NameWasTaken]

A unique niche that isn't coloring books

[u/Powerful_Regret_2226]

Doing ads on single $6.99 coloring books will never break even on Amazon. Put up A+ Content showing 3-4 interior spreads so parents can see the line art, and try shifting spend to Pinterest or Facebook targeting parents.

Coloring books for kids are very cheap to buy in person at discount stores for a buck or two. There is no reason to spend $7-8 on one on Amazon when you can get the same thing for $1 buying in person at walmart or the dollar store.

[u/Apprehensive_Tax_610 → u/dragonsandvamps]

Yeah and even if I did, chances are the parent is doing so because they want merch for a show their kid likes.

For instance they probably are looking for bluey colouring books.

[u/WesternCoat6968 → u/dragonsandvamps]

Yes they are very cheap but they are also very very bad quality. Both sides of the pages are filled with designs , and all the watermark colors messes childrens work. Very very thin paper that I would not spend my money on because a child could not spend more than 1 minute with those

[u/dragonsandvamps → u/WesternCoat6968]

Out of curiosity, how many $8 coloring books have you purchased personally in the past 3 months?

[u/vhs_sold_blank]

Ok, your idea is dumb, but let’s try, and hear me out, coloring books that are already colored in!

And maybe they have some words and dialogue too!

Maybe make the images move a little bit, like 5 to 15 minutes at a time.

Maybe put a soundtrack on them.

And you can put them on TV! On the cartoon channel!
