What It Is
You pick a coloring book theme with proven demand (the example is self-care scenes like bubble baths, tea time and yoga), set it up at the standard 8.5 by 11 inch size, and have an AI tool plan and draw about 40 clean line-art pages, plus extras like a 'this book belongs to' page. You check every page, redraw any with errors, then make a cover from a colored-in version of your best page and a matching back cover. The book is uploaded to Amazon KDP as a print-on-demand paperback and promoted with Amazon ads or short faceless videos of your hands coloring the pages.
The Pitch
The creator shows simple coloring books he estimates earning thousands of dollars a day at the very top of the market, and says a student made over $28,000 in about three months from three coloring books. He argues AI removed the old cost of hiring illustrators.
Who It’s Best For
Visually minded people who can spot a good theme and are willing to check and fix AI artwork carefully.
The Truth (as we see it)
Coloring books are one of the most crowded corners of KDP because AI made them so easy, so the top-earner examples are outliers and a generic book is unlikely to sell. The tool shown is the creator's own Co-author software (about $65 a month, discounted in the video), so this is partly a product demo. Check that AI art tools grant you commercial rights to the images.
