## Prompt

```text
Help me get my coloring book or printable designs online and selling.

**What I have:** [e.g. "hand-drawn pages on paper", "digital line art files", "a finished 40-page book"]
**Theme and audience:** [e.g. "mandalas for adults", "dinosaurs for kids 4-7"]
**Format I want to sell:** [printable PDF / printed paperback / both]
**Where I live:** [COUNTRY - affects tax and payouts]
**Budget and time:** [DETAILS]
**Goal:** [side income / build a brand / share for free]

Give me:
1. **Digitizing** - scanning settings (resolution, grayscale), cleaning lines, and file formats and page sizes for print and printable PDFs (including bleed and margins for print-on-demand).
2. **Platform options** - compare print-on-demand book platforms, digital download marketplaces, and selling from my own site, in a table: Platform type | Format | Fees and royalties model | Control over price | Audience reach | Effort. Mark fees as [CHECK CURRENT TERMS] rather than quoting numbers.
3. **Protecting my work** - copyright basics, licensing terms for printables (personal vs. commercial use), watermarked previews, and what to do if someone copies my pages.
4. **Listing** - title, description, keywords, preview images, and pricing approach.
5. **Promotion** - free sample pages, Pinterest and social posts, email list, and seasonal themes.
6. **Customers** - handling download problems, refund policy, and reviews.
7. **A 30-day launch checklist.**

If I used AI tools to create the art, tell me to check each platform's disclosure rules. This is general guidance; check tax and business registration requirements for my country.
