The long-awaited process for creating high-quality illustrations with consistent characters is now available in the Classroom: https://www.skool.com/guild/classroom/c0dc43d2 (available to all members with Level 2 and above). If you are still at Level 1, write a comment or publish a new topic to give other members the opportunity to like your work. You only need five likes to reach Level 2. Please share your feedback on the process to collectively improve it.

Let's test this format in the Guild. Sometimes we all need some external ideas, a push to continue moving. For some, it could be a small step, but for others, it can lead to a breakthrough. Once a week, I will search for a profitable niche, research and validate it, and share the distilled results with the Guild members. It will not be a perfect niche, but it will have potential to create a first book, to test some new ideas. The niche of this week is: Monochrome Coloring Book. Please pay attention to the attached image; open it at full size, and you will find many niche ideas and keywords. And now the validation results: - Demand: Strong. A quarter of the listings qualify as “Winners,” which means new books can reach good ranks with few reviews. - Competition: Moderate. Only 4 market staples—manageable for a focused launch. - Obsolescence: Very low, suggesting most books in this niche continue to sell. - Pricing power: Weak. Nearly all titles are priced under $10, indicating low perceived value and limited profit margins. Verdict: The niche shows solid entry potential but limited pricing potential. To make it worthwhile, a book here needs a premium hook (e.g., unique art style, print quality, or theme variation) to break above the $10–12.99 range. Winners: 14 books (26.9%) Obsolete books: 1 book (1.9%) Market staples: 4 books (7.7%) Price distribution: - $9.99 or less: 96.2% - $10.00–$12.99: 1.9% - $13.00–$14.98: 1.9% - $14.99 or more: 0% What do you think about such a format? Do you want to add some? To make it somehow different?
