  • Image Composition for the best coloring pages3:02

    Computer teachers have an old saying - Garbage in, Garbage out. It is no different with photo technology. In this lesson, I'll share the key factors in making a good coloring page from your image.

  • Where to find royalty free photos if you don't take them yourself3:31

    You can find royalty free photos on Pexels.com, Wikimedia Commons, Google Images, and Bing Images. Also, the Gutenberg pages offer a treasure trove of antique images.

  • What is Royalty Free, PLR and MRR?3:10

    In order to stay out of trouble when sourcing photos to turn into coloring pages, it is important to understand the terms, royalty free, master resale rights and private label rights. This section goes over these three terms in some detail.

Requirements

  • You should have at least one photo that you will be able to use as a test photo as we walk through the steps on manipulating it into a coloring page.

Description

You’ve seen it all before. ZenTangles, Geometric coloring books, and simple cartoon coloring books. This IS DIFFERENT.

With only a photo and a few clicks, you will be able to create a 100% unique coloring book that will make your friends go, WOW!

A couple of years ago, I stumbled onto a piece of cloud based software that transforms my photos into gorgeous coloring books that take only a few minutes to make. That’s right, entire coloring books in an hour! After posting my coloring book on a print on demand distributor and a few social media locations, bookstores and tourist shops started seeking me out to sell them in their stores.

In this course, I will show you how to:


  • Transform your photographs into coloring pages for pennies per page.

  • Find exceptional, free, high quality photo images to supplement your photography, so that you can make a well-rounded coloring book.

  • Format your coloring books for printing on demand with no additional out of pocket costs

  • Show you how to maximize your reach through a few social media outlets.

  • Provide you with a business plan for your coloring book publishing business.

This course could have easily been broken down into several courses, but I want to add as much value as possible so that you will be successful. As with all Udemy courses, it is covered by a 30 day money back guarantee, so let's get started. You have nothing to lose.

Who this course is for:

  • Photographers
  • Graphic artists
  • Parents
  • People interested in making passive income
  • Entrepreneurs
