Get the foundational training, tools, templates, and monthly live coaching to create a standout, in-demand coloring book that you’ll actually enjoy creating, promoting and selling!!
People are searching for your coloring book but, there's a problem...
“I'm not talented enough": You believe that you must have natural artistic skills/talent
"I don't have enough time": You feel you’re too busy with other responsibilities or commitments to dedicate the time needed to create and promote a coloring book.
"I don't have the resources": You believe you lack the necessary tools, materials, or financial means to produce a high-quality coloring book.
"I don't know how to market it": You struggle with being overwhelmed by the idea of promoting and selling your coloring book, lacking knowledge or experience in marketing strategies.
You haven’t made it and here’s why
"There's too much competition": You feel the coloring book market is oversaturated, and you doubt your ability to stand out among other established authors and publishers.
"No one would be interested": You underestimate the potential demand for your coloring book, believing that it wouldn't attract enough buyers or receive sufficient attention.
"It's feels too risky": You fear the financial risks associated with self-publishing, worrying about investing time, effort, and money without a guarantee of success.
"I don't have a large enough audience": You believe you
must have a significant following or fanbase to support the launch and sales of your coloring book.
"I'm afraid of criticism": You fear negative feedback or rejection, worrying that your coloring book would be criticized or not well-received by others.
"I don't know where to start": You’re feeling overwhelmed by the process to self-publish, feeling you lack the knowledge or guidance on how to navigate the various steps involved.
You’re probably feeling discouraged and defeated just reading this list right??
Or you could use a tested signature process to and go from wanna-be or never try to be because of fear and self-doubt
And here’s what happens when you do that:
You’ll stop questioning your artistic ability because you actually don’t have any, as a matter of fact, you don’t have to know how to draw a straight line.
You’ll realize that time will no longer be an issue because with this proven system the most ‘complicated’ of tasks will take you more than 30 to 45 minutes!
You’ll find you don’t need a ton of resources, like having a huge social media following, or a big bank account, assuming a lot of risks (like investing in hundreds or thousands of books taking up space in your garage.
As a matter of fact, you can get started validating your coloring book idea immediately and for less than a coffee and a pastry at Starbucks
You’ll be excited to promote your coloring book because it will be as simple as talking about it, leaving you free to focus on sharing your book idea in a way that gets people excited and anticipating its release before you publish
You’ll be able to let go of the fear of "too much competition" market saturation or criticism it simply won’t apply to you because you’ll know what makes you and your book unique I call it your secret sauce and every coloring book creator has it, and I’ll give you a hint that might surprise you… it’s not about the book, it’s you and how you show up!
You’ll know exactly how and where to start with the Validate Before You Make It Coloring Book Creator Prep Hub a tested system for uncovering and validating a salable coloring book idea!
Because rushing to produce a book or any product for that matter without validating it is guessing, and guessing is not only a waste of time and energy, not to mention discouraging and expensive.
Hi my name is Rodney Washington, three-time self-published book author, host of the Coloring Book Creator Podcast, creator of the Publish & Promote Your Coloring Book in 30 Days course, the Coloring Bookpreneur Society and the Coloring Book Creator Hub membership program
When I published my first coloring book in July 2021 I did it during a very challenging period in my life, I’d lost my father to Alzheimer's disease three weeks after my 58th birthday, and not dealing with my grief triggered bouts of anxiety, and depression exacerbated by the fact that I was grappling with aging myself.
After such a devastating loss I needed something to look forward to, something to remind me it wasn’t too late for me hence the inspiration to self-publish Never Too Late Too Make It Happen
My first coloring book from idea to publication on Amazon in 5 days!
Then I did what most newbie coloring book creators on the platform do.
Publish and wait for the sales to come in, although I really didn’t expect to make a ton of money from the project, actually, it wasn’t even about the money, I just enjoyed creating the book, the process of producing and publishing a coloring book was something very different from anything I’d done in my many year's career as a photographer, online marketing implementation strategist for coaches, authors, bloggers, and photographers.
After I self-published I turned to my online marketing skills to launch three Facebook groups, grow an email list of over 4000 from scratch, launch a course, three memberships, and publish two more books.
Now I have the privilege of supporting first-time creators conceptualize, produce, and publish 20 coloring/activity books and journals (and counting) on a wide variety of topics from afternoon tea to dog training, anti-bullying, prayer, and scripture to animal kindness and compassion just to name a few subjects.
After self-publishing over five books of my own over the last 25+ years and having the honor and privilege to support new creators over the last 10-month produce over 20 titles in all sorts of subjects, I realized 2 things
One.
You shouldn't create your book (or anything you plan to bring to market in
a vacuum
Two.
the surest way to be disappointed with slow sales and/or lack of interest when your book comes out is because it was released with no audience, no awareness, and no launch plan
Bottom line: if you want interest pre-publication and sales out the gate you must create customer buy-in, support, and feedback as you’re producing your book
Not after it’s published.
Every published author from a New York Times Best Seller to a local selling out of the trunk of their car knows that grassroots tactile marketing is the fastest way to spread the word and increase book sales!!
Want To Sell More Books Faster?
Just like a politician, part of the game is you’ve got to be willing to shake more hands and kiss more babies (both in person and online)
I constantly tell my coloring book creator society members
You've got to get in front of your book
Like Coloring Bookpreneur Society member Contona B. Fair Sold 30 copies of her book Be A Blessing! Not A Bully!
In one afternoon!!
Hear to how she
30 copies of her first book in one afternoon
-Or-
Nefertari Guice to date has sold close to 100 copies of her book Serve The Silent doing grassroots marketing, in addition to getting her book picked up by a local bookstore she’s now booking live Color🖍️ & Sip 🍷 Events at local wineries and having fun connecting with her growing fan base.
Now you might be thinking, “Is in person the only way you can sell, can you do it
online?” Absolutely, but just like offline have to show up consistently and have a plan like podcast guesting, for example, a strategy I teach inside the Coloring Book Creator Mentor Course
