How to Make a Printable Coloring Book
To create a printable coloring book, you will need to create a document containing the pages of your coloring book. You can do this using a word processing or page layout program, such as Microsoft Word or Adobe InDesign. You could even use a simple drag and drop tool like Microsoft PowerPoint or Canva. Insert the coloring images into the pages of that document.
Once the main coloring images are added, you can add other elements like text or even other images to the coloring pages if you'd like. This can save you time if you're not sure how to edit the original coloring images that we provide.
We'd also recommend adding an introduction or instructions/suggestions to best us the book to the front. This is not only helpful to your customer, but also introduces you as the creator of the book and can encourage repeat purchases from you.
And BONUS TIP: If you sell the printable book on other platforms like Etsy or Amazon Kindle, include a nice free gift to entice them to your website and get them on your mailing list. You could give them more coloring pages, access to tutorials or anything your target customer would be interested in.
How to Make Your Coloring Book Printable
To make your coloring book printable, you will need to save the document in a print-ready format, such as a PDF. Most programs allow you to “save as” or “export as” a PDF to make this process simple for you.
You can then sell your printable coloring book in places like:
- Your own website: You can create a website to sell your printable books directly to customers. You can use an e-commerce platform, such as Shopify or WooCommerce, to easily manage your sales and fulfillment.
- Online marketplaces: You can sell your printable books on online marketplaces, such as Amazon, Etsy, and eBay. These platforms have a large audience of potential customers, but they may also charge a fee for using their services.
You can then upload the PDF to an online printing service and order physical copies of your coloring book. Alternatively, you can make your coloring book available for download on your website or an online marketplace, and customers can print the pages themselves.
