It's easy to assume you need a complicated book idea to make great money on Amazon. Sometimes, that's simply not true. Take a look at Comfy Patterns by Coco Wyo. This is a simple $9.99 coloring book, yet it's estimated to generate close to $10,000 per month. It also has 3,500+ reviews, which tells you it has been consistently selling for a long time. (I use Publisher Rocket to look up book earnings; screenshot below this is just one format) So what's driving those results? ✅ It's highly niche. Instead of creating just another generic coloring book, Coco Wyo carved out a recognizable style with bold, cozy, easy-to-color patterns that appeal to a specific audience. ✅ The author has built a catalog. This wasn't a one-book success story. Coco Wyo has published a large collection of coloring books over time. Every new release creates another opportunity for readers to discover the rest of the catalog. ✅ The winners get more attention. While some of the author's books have fewer than 50 reviews, it's likely the strongest performers receive the most marketing, promotion, and ongoing investment. That's exactly what many successful publishers do—they double down on what's already working. 👉The lesson for authors One successful book can lift your entire publishing business. Every book you publish becomes another door for readers to discover your other titles. That's why building a series or a cohesive catalog can be so powerful. And here's the biggest takeaway... You never know which book will become your "breadwinner." The idea sitting in your notebook today could be the one that changes everything—but you'll never know if you don't publish it. ⭐⭐⭐P.S. I've heard enough requests from this community that I've officially decided to create a Coloring Book Publishing Training next month. If you've been interested in entering this niche, stay tuned—I'll be sharing the strategies, tools, and workflow that can help you get started.

One thing I’ve noticed after publishing multiple books 📚 over the years is that sales often start to climb in the fall and winter months… and then soften a bit during spring and summer. And honestly, it makes sense. When the weather gets colder, people spend more time indoors, scroll online more, listen to more audiobooks during commutes, and look for ways to learn, escape, or improve themselves. Meanwhile, spring and summer tend to shift attention toward vacations, outdoor activities, family events, and just being out living life. Even major retailers plan around this behavior. The publishing industry sees strong momentum during: ➡️ Back-to-school season ➡️ Q4 holiday shopping ➡️ New Year “new me” self-improvement season That’s why it’s important not to panic if your sales dip a little during warmer months. A slower season doesn’t automatically mean your book is failing. This is actually a GREAT time to: - Build your catalog - Improve your listings - Gather reviews - Optimize your keywords - Prepare for stronger Q4 traffic later in the year Think of it like planting seeds before the busy shopping season arrives. 🌱 Now I’m curious… Have you personally noticed certain times of year where you buy or read more books? Or do your habits stay the same year-round?

Let’s build a story together 👀 I’ll start with one sentence…and each person adds the NEXT sentence in the comments. Build on to the story by creating the next sentence. If you see someone typing, wait for their sentence and then type yours out, building on theirs Let’s see where this goes 😂 Here's the first sentence: 👉 The moment she touched the glowing book, she was transported to a magical place. Your turn 👇 (Only ONE sentence per comment—no overthinking it, just keep it going)

Last night during our 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐐&𝐀, I got to work with @Demetra Lambros on her journal/planner, and this is something everyone here needs to hear. She designed her book in Canva (and honestly… it looked amazing 👏). But when she looked into printing through Canva… the cost came out to $27 per copy 😳 Now compare that to Amazon KDP… 👉 The same type of book could be printed for around $3 as an author copy That’s not just a small difference...that’s a complete game changer when it comes to profit margins, pricing strategy, and actually building a scalable publishing business. I attached a short replay from our session where she asked some really good questions about: - Moving from Canva to KDP - Printing costs & profit margins - What to think about before publishing If you’re working on a journal, planner, or low-content book… this will help you avoid some expensive mistakes. Also—quick reminder about the 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫 👇 This wasn’t a private consult or 1:1… this was just one of our group Q&A calls.
