How to make money with coloring pages


Hey there!

Coloring pages are a huge hit online. Everyone from kids to adults is searching for them. Adults and children alike find joy and relaxation in the simple act of coloring, making it a thriving niche within the digital goods market.

Spotlight: Coloring for all ages 🖍️

This week, we're guiding you through the exciting journey of creating and monetizing printable coloring pages. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a newcomer eager to explore this colorful opportunity.

1. Find coloring page ideas and keywords that will sell

  • Use tools like Ahrefs Keyword Generator, Etsy and Google Trends to discover popular and emerging themes. Look for what people are searching for but also consider seasonal topics and evergreen content.
  • Identify relevant keywords that potential customers use to find coloring pages. Tools like Ubersuggest, EverBee or Etsy search bar can provide insights into popular search terms.

2. Design yourself or use AI

  • Utilize digital drawing tools like Adobe Illustrator, Procreate, or free alternatives like GIMP to design your coloring pages.
  • For generating ideas or initial sketches, AI with ChatGPT or Midjourney can be a powerful ally. Here are examples of a very simple prompt skeleton of "Generate a simple/complex coloring page of a x for kids/adults."
  • You can populate all of these prompt ideas using ChatGPT with "Give me some prompt ideas for coloring pages in a format of `Generate a simple coloring page of x for kids.`"

- Generate a simple coloring page of a rocket ship near the moon for kids.
- Generate a simple coloring page of a dinosaur next to a palm tree for kids.
- Generate a complex coloring page of a peaceful garden for adults seeking relaxation.

3. Create a themed set

  • Group your coloring pages into sets based on themes, interests, or difficulty levels. Sets like "Fruits 🍎", "Planets 🪐" or "Mindful Mandalas 🌱" cater to various audiences.
  • Include bonus items in your sets, such as colored examples, coloring tips, or a mini-guide on the benefits of coloring for relaxation and stress relief.

Let's apply this to ChatGPT + Midjourney flow. We write to ChatGPT asking "Give me some prompt ideas for coloring pages of a single fruit in a format of `Generate a simple coloring page of x for kids."

You can play around or directly use these prompts in any image generation tool or in Midjourney from our example to create educative or any type of coloring page sets to list and sell in your stores.

4. Generate coloring page mockups

You can use our free Coloring Page Mockup Generator designed specifically for coloring pages. This will help you create attractive previews of your work, showcasing how they look when printed.

5. List and sell

  • List your coloring page sets on platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, or your personal website. Each has its advantages in terms of audience and ease of use.
  • Use the keywords you researched to optimize your product titles, descriptions, and tags. High-quality mockups and clear, detailed descriptions will help your listings stand out.
  • Utilize social media, email newsletters, and other channels to promote your coloring pages. Engage with your audience by sharing coloring tips, showcasing customer creations, or offering promotions.

By following these steps, you can create desirable and marketable coloring pages that not only bring joy and relaxation to people of all ages but also establish a profitable niche for you in the digital goods market.
