Original subtitles

Now, if you're interested in taking your coloring book business to the next level,

I'm going to show you the best all in one tool that will allow you to go from IDEA

all the way to creating and uploading your book to Amazon KDP.

So check out this full video.

One of the things I love about this

software is that it's actually specifically made for KDP purposes, and

it covers everything from idea creation all the way to uploading, so it can

support you with every single part of the process.

And I've even been.

Speaking with the head of Business

Development and she's been lovely to speak with and she confirmed with me that

the book creator maintains full ownership of the copyright, which means you will

own what you make with the Book Bolt software.

So in light of the canvas situation, you know that you can use anything in Book

Bolt with complete confidence.

So this video will cover research and

that's all going to be done within Book Bolt.

Then you've got the coloring book creation, which is going to be using Mid

Journey. The cover and interior will also be

created within a Book Bolt.

And then we'll upload our book to Amazon,

again using the support of Book Bolt.

So let's start with the first step of the

process, which is research using Book Bolt.

Now you've got a lot of tutorials within Book Bolt to help you with many of its

features. So if there's any part that you don't

completely understand within this video, then you can just watch the tutorial.

And what's amazing is they also have weekly calls so they can support you with

any process within Book Bolt as well.

And what's amazing with this software is

it's not just research, but you can create books within it as well.

But I'll take you through that a little bit after.

So I'm going to take you through my process of how I start doing research and

I like to go to the cloud feature and what this is going to do is allow us to

filter specific data on Amazon so we can find the exact kind of books we're

looking for. The first option it gives you is to

search by bestseller.

I always like to use the top 100 as I

want to see the books that are doing and selling the best.

Then you've got category and this video specifically covers coloring books but

does have a wide range of lower and mid content categories.

That you can choose from.

Then the BSR range.

I usually leave that as it is and the price range.

I usually like to take that down to 0 to 10$ as that's what most people are

usually willing to pay for a coloring book.

Then if you want to add some keywords to make the search even more specific you

can. If you're a beginner, I would leave this

blank. However, if you know the niche really

well then you can add specific keywords like let's say for adults or a specific

style such as gothic.

Then just click the search button and

it's going to give us all the options below but we can take a look at the

results data 1st and that's just going to provide us with a summary of all the

information from the books and make sure you take a note of the price of the books

just so that you know how to price your book correctly.

So in this instance an average price would be 6$ and ninety cents.

Then it also provides us with a keyword count on the right hand side, so that's

just showing you how many specific keywords come up so you can get ideas.

Now let's take a look through the books and it provided with the title you've got

the author name Tony showing.

Us independently published books which is

great and any amount of reviews it has and the publication date, the price BSR,

the estimated monthly sales and the average BSR for the past 30 days which is

a super important feat as you can see the how well that book has actually been

selling consistently over a 30 day period which allows you to make a much better

judgment when doing your research.

One of the most important things you can

do during the research process is focusing on books that have sold well in

the past three to six months and I would say the more recent the better as it.

Shows a lot of demand for a book.

And if we take a look at this next book,

we can see that the publication date with March at 12, so quite recent and it has

21 reviews already with a fantastic BSR of 540 which is showing you there's a lot

of demand for the book.

And as a book has been recently released,

you've got a lot more chance to compete with the book.

And if we click on the option here, actually provides us with the price data

and BSR history as well.

So we can see that they actually

increased the. Price of the book to eight ninety nine

and it still continued to sell quite well.

So you can see how it's done overtime and how well the BSR is doing at the moment.

If you do find a book that seems interesting, I'll definitely save it as a

favorite just so that you can come back to it quite easily.

You can actually click on the title of the book and take a look through it on

Amazon. Check the reviews as well and just see if

there's anything mentioned there that you can actually do to improve the book and

make your book stand out.

So take your time and make sure you have

a look through the cloud tool in order to find the books that interest you might

find something that catches your eye this book looks interesting and you just keep

scrolling and have a look through.

This book has caught my eye.

It's been released in February fifteenth twenty, twenty three.

It's got a good amount of reviews and it's doing really well.

So the next thing you can do is to take a note of some of the main keywords.

In this instance, it's going to be patterns and then we can go over to the

product section in order to validate a keyword.

Then using the products tool, I like to type in the main keyword which is

patterns and then choose the category which we know is coloring books.

Then once you click the search button, you're going to be provided with results

data and keyword counts.

So some of these keywords you can use in

the back end keywords as well.

And we can take a look through the books

and if you notice a couple of books that have been recently released that are

doing really well, so they've got a good BSR which we can see in this instance

then I would say is.

A niche that you should be creating color

in books for.

Again, to the right hand side we've got

relevant keywords which is going to be super useful when we start uploading our

book to Amazon.

Now these are two fantastic tools that

are going to save you so much time during the research process, so make sure you

make the most of them.

So to start creating our coloring book

pages, what we want to do is take a look on the inside of one of the books to see

what the interior is like so we can just click on the title.

Then when we go to Amazon, take a look at the look inside feature and just scroll

through the pages so we get an idea and we can see the Mandala coloring pages and

the back cover.

Then the tool that we're going to use to

create these coloring pages is a mid journey and make sure that you're on a

paid monthly subscription plan.

And in order to have commercial license,

so they've got a 10$ plan, a 30$ plan and a 60$ plan all with different benefits

that you can choose from.

On the paid plan you get access to your

own private bot and you're going to have to type in a prompt in order to start

creating the images.

So you can see with this prompt I've

typed in simple coloring, page patterns, mandala, then aspect ratio two to three

in order to get these mandala designs.

Then I've upscaled them in order to get a

better resolution and then I've also.

Rerolled in order to get more coloring

pages. Then you can just upscale the images that

you like so you can take a look through these ones and then follow the exact same

process to create even more coloring pages.

Then to create the book cover the prompt that actually went forward, mandala

patterns with bright colors and then coloring book cover with the aspect ratio

you can see there.

And it does provide you with coloring

book covers with a text that you can simply cover with an element and add your

own text.

But I didn't like those so I just changed

the prompt and took out coloring book.

And then I found this one that I liked

and just upscaled it.

Then to start downloading these pages all

you need to do is click the web button, then you'll be taken to this page and

then choose the download button in the corner.

Finally you've got two options now to improve the image quality so that images

are good enough for Amazon.

The 1st is big jpg and this is the tool

that I've been using and recommending in order to upscale.

There is a cost to this however it is a quite affordable for example.

For a 12 month period you only actually have to pay 22$ and then each month

you're able to upscale 2000 images and there is a free version.

However this only allows you to do 20 pictures per month if you pay for it to

you. The great thing is you can batch upload

loads of coloring images and you just click start and then make sure you

upscale it. I would say four times is good enough and

then you can just click enlarge all images below.

You can download them all once this is completed so to start creating the cover

and interior within.

Book bowl. All you need to do is go to

the left hand corner where it says research and you've got the option to

create. Then we're going to go to the Book Bolt

studio, so you just click on that.

What's great about Book Bolt is they

provide you with several options so you can create the paperback cover and

interior together. You can also create a hard cover as well

and they've got custom options also.

Then you just want to put in your project

name. In this instance we know we're doing a

pattern coloring book.

For the trim size I usually go with 8 5

times 11 and then the interior.

Is always black and white interior with

white paper. Then I choose the option of no bleed as

in this case nothing will be going to the edges as we're going to have a border.

Now the minimum page count for any book you create on Amazon KDP is 24 pages.

So that's what I mean when I say book bolt is specifically made for KDP as they

know this and that is the minimum pages you can make.

So in this instance we're going to be using 20 coloring pages and we always

make these single sided so we leave the next page blank.

So it's going to be 40 in total.

And then also going to have a title page,

so we just make sure that it's 42 and then you can just click create project.

First thing you're going to see is the cover page with all the dimensions and

specific information that you need to ensure your cover dimensions are correct.

We're going to leave the next page one, as that's going to be our title page and

then the page after that blank.

So then we're going to start the coloring

pages from the third page and all we need to do is click this icon here and that's

going to allow us to upload all.

Our images, which I've already done, you

just click upload image and then it takes a little bit of time.

And once they are all uploaded, what you're going to want to do first is

create the border for your coloring pages and to do this we're going to be starting

on page three as I mentioned.

Then we can find the element as the

second icon, so we can just click that and actually use a rectangle.

So we just click on the rectangle, then we can size it up to the area inside the

green lines as we've gone for the.

No bleed option.

Then at the top you can change the color of the rectangle to white and then on the

right hand side of the color box we've got the option to edit the border.

So we just make sure that we choose it as black.

And then for the stroke, I usually leave the number as 17 and then go down to the

bottom and click OK for the next step.

We want to ensure now that this border is

added to the rest of our coloring pages, so all we need to do is go and right.

Click on page three and this is going to give us the option to clone this page.

Then as I mentioned we leave one page blank.

So then we want to go through the rest of the pages and make sure that all of them

have the order.

And once we've done that then we can

start to add our coloring pages.

So make sure you go to the file library

and add 1 image at a time.

So all you really need to do is double

click on the image and then adjust it and make sure that everything is.

Find correctly.

You can also use the crop tool if there's

any area that you'd like to get rid of to ensure that everything fits into the

area. And once you're happy with this coloring

page and just follow the exact same process for the other coloring pages that

you have Now once all your coloring pages are done, what you can do is work on the

cover. So to start this off, what you can do is

go to the file library and upload the front cover image that you would like to

use. Then take the time.

To align everything properly and make sure that it reaches all the way to the

edges. And once you're hay with your placement,

you can look through Amazon in order to find some cover designs.

In this instance I'm just going to create a quick design example for you.

So we're going to go to the rectangle element again, then just add a rectangle

to the top and align it correctly.

And this is going to allow me to put my

title and subtitle within this area.

Then what I'm going to do is just

dulicate that rectangle.

And make it a little bit smaller and then

just add an area where I can put the brand name.

Then I'm just going to duplicate the same rectangle again and use that for the back

cover. Then I thought to bring the mandala image

down a little bit lower just so that it looks a bit better.

Then we can finally add the text and this is the option above the file library so

you can go with the heading as the title and we're going to want to change the

color of that as the background is black so we can just change that to white.

Next we can use the.

Regular multiline text for the subtitle,

and again we change that to white and then just align that with the heading and

just make sure that they're both in the middle and book Bolt helps you with that

by providing a green line to show you when something's in the center.

Use the text align option along the top to ensure the text is in the center, and

then make sure that everything is aligned correctly.

Next we can go back to book bolt in order to figure out our title and subtitle, and

a lot of these pattern books have a descriptive.

Word before them, so I'm just going to go with amazing patterns.

And with most of these books they are targeted towards adults, so the subtitle

would just be an adult coloring book.

I prefer to capitalize my letters as it

just makes the title and subtitles stand out a lot more.

And make sure that everything is aligned to the center.

Can add color to your title or subtitle just to make it sound out a little bit

more. And you can use the UET tool in order to

find a matching color and that just makes it OA little bit more.

Then you can just dulicate the subtitle and fill in the lower black rectangle

with your brand name if you want to.

And then what we can do is now actually

start on our title page and all we're going to do is click and lock the mandala

image background and highlight over the.

Text and copy and paste it onto the title

page. Once everything is on the title page and

you can align everything to the center and get rid of anything in the background

and then just make sure that you change the font colors to black to ensure that

everything can be seen on the page properly.

I chose to add one of the coloring pages to the middle just to make this page look

a little bit more interesting and I was pleased with how it turned out.

So now the only thing actually.

Left to do was the back cover and what I

needed to do is take a few of the images in the coloring book with the border.

So what you need to do is go to file and then export as a PNG.

Then we can go to the file library and upload our coloring page images to the

back cover and just make sure that you align everything properly so that it

looks good. Then what we can do is.

Then what we can do once you are happy with everything is just add some text

underneath just indicating how many coloring pages there are or whatever

information that you want to give.

You also just want to quickly change the

capacity of the background to ensure that we're not writing over anything important

such as the barcode.

Once you're finally happy with

everything, to download your cover and interior, you just need to go to Download

at the top and then click Download Current project CMYK printed Books as

this is best for professional printing and click download and you'll be provided

with a PDF copy of the cover and interior.

So we're finally onto the last part of the video, uploading your book to Amazon

KDP. And this is where Book Bolt sets itself

apart. So go to your KDP account and then just

go to create.

And then go to create paperback and now

when you guys fill in all this information it will be your blank.

But to save time I've started filling a few things in So we already know that we

chose the title Amazing Patterns.

Now regarding the subtitle you can use

book bolts and what this amazing tool will do is provide you with the relevant

specific keywords for a chosen book and all we need to do is to provide the asyn

and. Know that we have this in the products

tool, so we can just copy and paste this in as we've already searched for our

books previously and just copy and paste that into the area and then the book will

show up.

Now this usually does take a little bit

of time to show all the keywords and once it loads up you can see it's provided

with the keywords that this book is a ranking for the total item counts for the

books under that keyword and then.

Generally the search volume.

So you can filter the categories and I've decided to filter the keywords by their

ranking. This is showing us the best keywords that

this book is ranking for.

Now we want to find the keywords that

have the least total items count but a really good search volume which will give

our books a much better chance of being seen and looking through the listed

keywords. The Floral Mandala Coloring book for

adult relaxation amazing patterns has a much lower total items count and a good

search volume. Now I didn't include amazing Patterns as

that is our title.

Then I've just copied and pasted that

into the subtitle.

Don't be afraid to add more keywords here

into the subtitle, but you definitely don't want a keyword.

Stuff it as well so there is a balance to it.

Then we can add our author name into this section and then we can start on the

description. Try to make it as interesting as possible

so you are selling the positives of the book and includes.

A list of its features as well, but if you really are struggling with this and

you can use a tool such as chat gpt to help you with the description, then we

know that using book Bolt that we do own the copyright and necessary publishing

rights, which is a great thing about this tool.

Then we can go to keywords and we can actually use the products tool for this

as it's provided us with the keyword account on the right hand side and this

provides you with.

The most used keywords in these best

selling books. So it's just a case of looking through

each keyword and just making sure that is relevant to your book.

Then you can include them in the seven back end keywords.

So just make sure that you fill out these boxes.

Don't include any keywords that you've already used in your title and subtitle.

And this helps us know that we're using the best keywords to get in front of the

right audience. Now for the next section is categories.

Again, book bulk can even help us with that.

And it actually has a category, a KDP category section.

This will take a lot of the hassle out of finding the right category.

All you need to do is to type in the keyword and then it's going to show you

the categories. So again, we can go to the product tool

and we've already got a list of all the best used keywords.

So then it's just a case of putting in a keyword.

Word and then searching for a category.

Sometimes a category won't show up, but

just keep trying different keywords until you find the right one.

So coloring books are not classed as low content books and it's not a large print

book specifically either, so we don't need to take that.

Then we know that this book does not contain any language, situations or

images that are inappropriate, so we can go with no and then click save and

continue. That will then take us to the second page

where you'll be provided with a free ISBN.

Then for the print options I always choose black and white.

Interior then we know it's 85 by 11, no bleed and I always go with the glossy

cover. You can upload your interior there and

then uload your cover as the cover file.

Then just click launch previewer.

Once the print previewer finally loads up, you get to see on the left hand side

if there are any errors or issues that come up.

In this instance there isn't anything.

So we can check the interior pages and

just see how they will look and they look fine and then keep on going through and

that looks perfect.

If you ever have any issue with anything

being outside the Gray border, you just need to go back into book bowl and make

sure that it's in between those green lines.

And if you're happy with everything just click approve then.

And what you can do is literally Scroll down to the bottom, you can see the

printing cost and then just click save and continue.

Next you'll be taken to the last page where you'll be able to choose the price

of the book.

And again, we can just go back to Book

Bolt, the product tool, where it provides us with the lowest price, the highest

price and the average price of a coloring book with this keyword.

Now I usually go for six ninety nine, it's up to you, but obviously the lower

you go, the more it's going to affect the royalty that.

You earn then I'd like to put a 99 at the end of each marketplace just to earn a

little bit more.

If you want to order an author copy much

cheaper then you can go and click Request Proof and if you're happy with everything

then you just have to click on Publish your paperback book and it can take 24 to

36 hours to upload your book to Amazon.

However, you'll get an email once it's

done. Now if you're interested in using the

best Allinone low content tool for your business then.

Have an affiliate link in the description and if you use the word Danny 20 then

it's going to provide you with 20 % off the current per month price so you can go

with the nine ninety nine option.

So with that you do get the three day

trial so you can try this out for a few days.

You get the keyword product research, a covering, interior designer, Amazon

search, volume, KDP spy which I will show you in the next few videos and twenty

four seven customer support as well.

About the 19$ and ninety nine cents per

month option does give you the added.

Benefit of the puzzle creation software

included, and this is super useful for creating activity books, which are among

some of my bestsellers, and I'll also be doing a video on that soon.

So thanks for watching another video and let me know if you've got any questions

in the comments section.
