I heard about making passive income a while back and published two coloring books on Amazon a few years ago. One sells very rarely, and the other doesn’t sell at all.
I thought the problem might be that I don’t have enough products for people to find. So recently, I published six more coloring books, a journal, and a notebook.
Is anyone actually making money with this kind of thing without extra promotion? Should I keep creating more books in hopes that one might become popular, or am I wasting my time?
I tried publishing coloring books on Amazon a while ago, hoping for passive income, but I faced similar challenges. Despite creating multiple books, sales were minimal without extra promotion. It’s a tough market, and success often requires additional marketing efforts beyond just publishing.
Coloring books on Amazon can be a tough market to crack. It sounds like you’ve put in some work with those eight books, but promotion is key. Just having them out there isn’t enough.
Think about how to make your books stand out - unique themes, great quality. Social media ads or reaching out to coloring fans online could help. You might not need to make a ton more books right now, focus on promoting the ones you have first!
