Were you a teacher in a previous life?
Your videos are so clear and well made. The content is given over in a positive, calm and detailed way.
Thanks for all your work.
I loved the one with your daughter’s book and hope you make a series of them.

You are the only person or YouTuber I have seen who made a great presentation from begining to the end. This is a power packed project, while others will just give a scratch course. The only person or YouTuber who had similar attributes like you in a different field is Alex the analyst.
Thanks for being truthful. I will follow and share your videos. ❤

[masalachigirl]

Thank you, Ivy. This is very helpful. You’re amazing at teaching step-by-step.

Just FYI friends, I signed up for the publishing vault. You can only use the art you download if you keep up your monthly $27 membership. Once you are no longer a member, you can't use any of it for kdp or anything else. They are $67 a pack if you buy them outright. :(

I sat through the whole video, only Ivy can make me do that because I have such a short attention span but her videos are so well put together, informative, walks by like butter, her calm voice. Ivy, you have my heart. ♥ keep making and thank you for putting in so many efforts for us.

[apixelpalette]

Thank you for this very informative video, you walk all of us through out the whole process 🎉❤

[artfervorpaintings]

Hello Ivy, thank you for the video. Since I am an artist, which I do my own drawings free hand. How do I turn my drawings into a coloring book? Do I first must scan my arts and upload to computer, then do I need other programs to do the next steps? Please advise. Thank you.

[nathstrap]

Thank you for your excellent video, which provided valuable information. However, I had a negative experience with The Publisher’s Vault, which you recommended. After choosing not to pursue membership with the $1 24-hour trial, I received an aggressive email threatening to cancel my KDP account, which I don't have. This was surprising and concerning, as I have no intention of selling colouring books or anything similar. It is sad to consider potential members dishonest and have bad intentions. Maybe The Publisher’s Vault should reconsider the trial period approach.

[takecare]

Great tutorial Ivy and I love those characters. Iwill follow this tutorial to create mine. ?? If I want to publish on more than one publisher should I use the KDP format...is it a standard?they

[malenateves]

Your videos are by far the best. I've watched so many trying to find an easy to understand step by step video. I love your channel!

[chiripieces]

I searched yt “where to sell digital digital coloring books” and your video showed up. I watched every single step and am so thankful! It is hard to find someone in this space who isn’t gatekeeping to get ahead. Time to do my creatives.

I was all set to begin with KDP but before I started I did an online search for user reviews. I found an abundance of 1 star reviews for KDP. Most reviewers reported that Amazon had terminated their account and were withholding the royalties. Can you tell me your thoughts on this?

[DeannaLuzWilliams]

Your video popped up at the top and I instantly became interested. Thank you for for all this great information! #newsubscriber ❤❤
