Have you taken Midjourney for a spin yet? Let me know in the comments!
I'm just looking at it today, thanks!
yes. I started about two months ago and I am addicted. and now version 5.....oh my. the possibilities are endless....
@rachelharrisonsund I'm new to KDP. Can you guide me as to what you mean about adding a copywrite to the interior of your book? I'm just learning and I don't clearly understand this. Do you have a video that goes into this? If you use the basic paid level Midjourney AI to generate the colouring pages and reverse check that no other version exists, how do you add a copywrite and what should it say?
We have to subscribe @midjourney?
I'm hooked on it - I've not tried any coloring pages yet but it's amazing!
Dear, create your own server and make you life way easier! Just click on the + sign, give it a name, choose your own robot and work on your own space :)
good point .thx
Hanging out with a guru comes in handy!! Thanks Rachel, I bought your KDP course and it just keeps paying off!!!
I thank you very much for your advice at the end of the video because it was exactly my main concern. Actually, I did it even before to hear you talking about that because my sister told me to do it. She is a Graphic Designer. I went to Google to search the images I created on AI just to check out if they were somewhere else. I think your advice to reverse the image would be an extra tip to take care of your work if you want to publish and not have any issues with copyright. I mean, to make some variation from the original created in the AI in order to get more original as possible
MidJourney (especially v5) is absolutely huggeeee. I've created about 20 coloring books this year using AI and some sell quite well. It's the same as always, focus on a niche and create a great product for the best chance of getting sales.
on average how many images we can create with 10$ plan?
Here's the problem I keep running into: It creates pretty small images (only 1024 pixels x 1024 pixels). When I try to upscale them with beta upscale, it adds weird detail.
@@osciawilson9121 there are some sites that use AI to upscale seemlessly which are SO much better than the MJ beta upscale.
Do you mind sharing if you do anything to promote them after you publish them? I would think that just creating and publishing is not enough to see the results? Does one just sit back and watch the sales come in? I have yet to see a video that shows the further steps.
@@selfpublishingempire Thanks! I will check them out! :)
Thankyou so much for this comprehensive video. I was wondering about copyright and glad you addressed that at the end.
This is soooo powerful! Thank you for sharing!
Holy moly! I haven't seen a ton of AI demos, but of the ones I've seen, this is by far the best. Thank you for the demonstration, @Rachel Harrison-Sund.
Thanks for watching, Suzy! Do you think you'll give it a spin?
@@RachelHarrisonSund Yes. I was going to right after I commented, but something came up. I'm going to look into it before I go to bed tonight. I'm in your Low-Content Profits Academy, so I'll probably have questions for you. :)
Great easy to follow video!
My mind is spinning!! Thank you for the detailed instructions!
Have fun with it! Just be sure to stay on top of KDP's and Midjourney's terms, as this is a swiftly evolving space.
be very careful before you do her steps. Amazon has been banning alot of people. Due to them implementing a AI detection system into their reviewing process
Very good, thank you!
Thank you, I'm a new kdp color book maker. This was very informative 😊 i subscribe
This is very cool! I didn't know I was on a "free trial" and I ran it out doing silly experiments to see what it can do. But still, for a reasonable monthly fee, I could avoid what I'm supposed to be doing every day! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Yes, those free jobs disappear quickly! Glad you're having fun with it; be sure to read their Terms in their entirety when you use any images you create for commercial purposes, and check back often to ensure you're up to date with this quickly evolving space!
@@RachelHarrisonSund Great advice and timely. Thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial! How do I then color in one of these Midjourney generated images to use as a cover image?
I did and test printed. At first glance it looks very nice and the background seems to be white. but when I bring the image generated from midjourney to print, the background is not white.
Have you tried printing?
Do you have a way to make the background white? I tried adding ' white background' but no success.
How do you remove the dark, black, shadowed areas that you get in a lot of AI produced coloring pages?
What about pixel size/quality? How do you upscale to 300dpi?
Why do I not get the options displayed regarding beta upscale redo? Is the version 5,1 better than the one you used on this vid? Thanks for the super video!
However, when Amazon requests a document of right to include all images in the book(s) listed above. An example of this is a signed contract or written statement signed by the photographer or other copyright holder that gives you the right to use the images How do we get it
Thanks😊
I have made my book cover, but I'm having problems adding text to the interior pages. When I copy and past my text on the pages, it gets all bunched up and no matter what I try I can't get it to look right. Could you please help me or show me how to add just text with no images to the internal pages? Thank you... By the way I'm new to Book-Bolt I just signed up yesterday as you can tell, lol.
I have created a coloring book, but I am struggling with the cover and how to get one of the pages colored for the cover. Any ideas?
I thought the whole idea of KDP was to make passive income by using your unique skills. This just shows that anyone with a computer can make their own books and don't need KDP at all.
OMG!!! This is amazing!! Thank you sooo much for all that you do!!! :)🌺🌻🤗
Thanks for watching! Will you be giving this a try on KDP?
@@RachelHarrisonSund I’ve already signed up! 🤓🤗📕📕📕💙
how to make the lines of the images obtained a little thicker, because the images of midjourney they are beautiful but grayed out and blurry, thank you
In the term of use of midjourney even if you pay you can't say that you own the copyright of the images so how can you write the copyright page of the book?
Great images Rachel, thanks for sharing! Hey I'm new to kdp and I have one small question. Do I need to place a blank page between coloring pages when making a coloring book? Thank you.
Yes you do
Hi Can i use some midjourny image existing create form other personne
How about offering classes on using MJ? I would pay for it. The trial was not offered. When I tried to put descriptions in the box I received a message stating that I needed to join. Also, it stated that Trials were not offered because it was busy. Right now, I am waiting to have a few hours to get on and join.
You can start a private chat with MJ bot not to see all the other users' images. Also it is possible to make you images private with the top paid plan if I am not mistaken. Also I think it is necessary to upscale these images, as straight from MJ they don't have high enough resolution.
I've made a couple of coloring books using Midjourney. Too early to tell if they're successful. I've also used MJ for covers of various books and for all kinds of interior graphics. Very useful.
Yes, the Pro level allows you to go into stealth mode so no one else sees what you’re working on. I still delete my finished generations from their server when I’m done, tho. I prompt MJ with my own actual artwork tho. I use an app called Hitpaw to upscale my work so I can use it in large prints.
Ok. That's what I need. How do you make pics high quality?
Hi Rachel, what about using quotes in coloring books? Do we have to cite them at the back page? Is there a required format or it's fine just citing them?
And what if I paraphrase every quote, still need to cite the person? Thanks in advance
How do i copyright search?
@@DaniiMarie333 check wiki quote then check the time of death of the person (author, poet, etc.). Before 1930 quotes are in the public domain area, so it's safe to use, and if the person died after 1930 you should be careful as their descendants could sue you. Public domain is 70 years after the person's death in most cases
Love the 5 legged dog
haha
Hello Rachel! Quick question: do you use a coloring book generated by AI in your account? Amazon allow us to do this or our account would be in danger? Yes, I agree, this AI is amazing, but if my account will be compromised, then, no thanks! Please, I’m looking forward about your answer! Have a great day!
The interior I created in this video was the first coloring book I've ever created, and I haven't published it on my account. As of yet there are no rules surrounding the use of AI on KDP, but it's something we'll all have to be mindful of as this ever-evolving space unfolds.
And Amazon is okay with using this AI for colouring books? Do you check for plagarism?
I want to remove greyscale in coloring page . So I want to write primpt for this ? But how to write primpt for removing greyscale?
Could you provide some example of promth you gave to obtain at least one of your image ?
I created my own thread so I didn't have to try to find my stuff in the middle of everyone else’s. Big time helps!
Oh, and /remix is great, as well. Basically it gives you the option to add or change the prompt when using any V button.
What about when the images have extra limbs/paws/fingers/etc?
@RachelHarrisonSund do you need to add a disclaimer that your images are AI-generated to your book?
Do you mention in a book that images were AI generated or do you use some penname of an "artist"?
Have you had any issues with resolution?
how do you prevent other users to use the images that are created for you? this could lead to problems with kdp if many use the same images. also, is ai art copyright free? dou you get a license when signing up? I've had so much trouble with graphics on kdp that I indeed paid for or that where free to use commercially.
You can’t. People will steal your prompts and even your renders if they want. The very first prompt I put into Midjourney got rerolled by someone else…
Even with the bot in your discord your renders still show up elsewhere unless you have stealth mode which you have to pay extra for.
Without stealth mode it’s open season on everything you create in MJ.
Have you figured out a prompt for midjourney to have it color in one of the pages to make the cover?
how do you separate the pictures to singles from the group of four in Midjourney? thanks
You select upscale which is the U1 to U4 that you will see. Pick the one that corresponds wit the image you want to single or select all 4 to upscale if you want all 4.
Rachel, is the discord only available in the basic paid version?
The copyright issue is not going to be found using Tin eye because, as I understand it, users upload images as starting points for the AI software which they may or may not own the copyright for. So every time you generate an image of "dog among the flowers" the AI is presumably looking at all the source material users have uploaded in those subject areas as a starting point. If those original images were stolen off Google then that creates a copyright infringement. I'd be really careful until you understand the full copyright situation because it seems to me that copyright law has not yet caught up with the development AI generated stuff. What concerns me now is that anything you buy from Creative Fabrica and other photolibraries could be AI generated and that makes me question if I can be sure what I am buying is legit.
I hear Amazon are having a crackdown on the number of over similar content being dumped on their platform. Some think they might start charging sellers extra to put books on there, to try and curb the sheer deluge of AI generated books.
Amazon has been cracking down on duplicate contents.
Even as it is, amazon is aware of the AI stuff but the fact still lies that Amazon still makes money from those books. So cracking down on those ai books might be a big loss on them because in a short period of time, AI generated drawings will overtake the traditional ones because it is easer to create and saves time.
Why would they want to crack down? Why would they care how the content was created if people like what they see and are buying it?
@@judilynn9569 that’s the thing
@@judilynn9569 amazon are after making money that’s all.
how did you view your gallery?
Can you remind me. Can the coloring books use a Amazon ISBN? It’s been awhile since I have published and everything used to have an ISBN.
Yes, you can get a free ISBN for coloring books, but not for "low-content" books, like journals, planners, etc.
Copyright issue or not after using that site
I've been trying this with Midjourney and I just can't get the results you have. They aren't offering free trials at the moment, so I've paid for a subscription and I've tried all sorts of different prompts, but it still keeps coming up with colour and large blocks of black or grey, even when I specifically say black and white, no colour etc. I've tried cartoon style, manga style, kawaii style, line art only in my prompts. Getting very frustrated, because I can see the potential, but I can't get the results I want without doing quite a bit of editing of the images. Any advice?
You can upload a pic that would work for what you want and instead of /imagine, use /describe --it'll ask you to upload an image and give you descriptive words for it. Then hit the imagine all option to see what you can get
Hi Rachel I think you have to mention to Amazon that it is AI content now ?
How do we use mudjourney on a tab?
You can convert to vector graphics too.
You brought up all the pictures you created on one screen and I wanted to know how you did that? I have my own account, so I don't have to search for my pics, but they are showing in a line and I would like them all together.
This is my question too! I would love to see my images all together like that, but can't figure out how it is done
cool contend! But you can go private with the midjourney top plan. Nobody then sees your images. About coloring books, are these made hardcover only or also paperback? Does paperback work for kids?
Nice video ! Where do I check that I don't have a copyright violation?
Actually, I cannot find anywhere this newbies channel. I do not have that option. I'm so confused.
Do you not have your own server with the MJ bot?
*Can you please tell - as you showed in midjourney in the newbie group - as you give the prompts what if somebody else copies your image when its visible (as all other users images are also visible) and uses it in their coloring book? Or, what if you use other users images in your book? How does that not concerning? Or, is there anything I missed? Thanks a lot.*
This was great - however, I am trying to understand how the images went from Discord to Mindjourney. Is it connected or were they downloaded from Discord then uploaded to Mindjourney??
It's connected and sends them to your Midjourney account automatically. When you sign up for an account on their website, it asks you to sign in with your Discord. You don't need to manually do anything.
Does amazon kdp actually accept coloring books with interior pages and cover created by midjourney AI? Thank you to who will answer.
Yes. Literally thousands of people are making and publishing hundreds of thousands of coloring books now on KDP using this method.
Nobody is making any money anymore because the market is over saturated
-go to the right side of screen
- right click “midjourney bot”
-click message
Now you have your own “channel”
- type “/settings” this will allow you to go into stealth mode allowing you to keep your creations only for your own view.
Not sure if you have to have a subscription
So does everyone in that chatroom, can they all publicy view and access the coloring pages that you create?
Everyone can view your creations, even if you create your images using the chatbot on a private server. However, no one can repost your images without your permission, nor can they use them for commercial purposes.
Yes, everyone can use whatever image you create in MJ, unless you are on a private plan, even with a paid plan MJ itself can use your images if it wants to. You are creating these images in a public space, so why would they be just yours. It happened to me in real time while i was creating something. That is why i stopped using MJ.
HEY to the guy asking about lining up a shallow die on the second pass - mark it with a sharpie right across the die and metal, you'll be able to align perfectly! (sorry for the delay in answering, I had to go create an acct to comment.
Hey Rachel, what advice do you have for any pro illustrator creating their own coloring book? Abandon any idea of doing their own drawings and become a Pro Prompter instead?
If you're a pro illustrator I'd recommend creating the images yourself and skipping the AI (unless you really want to use it). These image-generating AIs are amazing, but it's a swiftly evolving space and we still don't know how KDP might restrict their use in the future. Midjourney comes second place to utilizing your own skill (if you have that skill, which I don't), in my opinion.
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thanks Rachel. As a pro, the threat to your livelihood is very real. Using AI and editing its images may be the only way to compete with the tsunami of image content KDP material from non-creatives. Ironic times when an artist may be commissioned to fix and edit a prompter’s AI images. Personally I’d like to see royalties paid to any artist’s work (possibly hundreds of artists per image) used in any commercially used images.
Do your own illustrations if you have the skillset. The copyright on these AI produced images is still not clear as many users are nicking stuff off the web to use as starting points for the software to use as source material. You will always have the copyright on images you produce yourself which seems way safer to me.
AI generated art can be a powerful tool in the hands of a skilled artist. You can use it to create comps or turn your sketches into a finished piece or use it as is and add your own elements. So much to explore and discover. I’m definitely going to learn everything I can about AI. It’s a whole new way of working.
@@Stressbreaker999 Though the AI doesn't work by patchworking the work of hundreds of artists in one picture. Not how it works. It's like myself and any other artists, along our journey we have been inspired by different styles and artists and evolved our own way along the way. You can't look at a picture you made and estimate how much % is from which inspiration or technique you've learned here and there. Kind of the same here.
You can make your own server and add the bot to it! Then you can have a private feed
Interesting. I think people are expecting Amazon cracking down is the threat to this biz, but frankly, if it's this easy for you to get in and create a page in one minute, the consumer is going to catch on and generate their own in the same time. Instead of looking for free coloring pages of a princess or dragon to print off for my kids, I am just going to ask them what they want and type in the simple prompts. That is, till they start typing in their own. I think this business model already is obsolete.
right? no point in hiring any artist ever again. it's such a shitty gold rush they have no idea what they are doing Dx
Curious why you don’t add midjourney to your personal server in discord? It keeps your feed separate and private
So many steps to sign up, from app I couldn’t figure out how to get to where you are, so frustrating
Puppy has so many legs 😂
I just want to make my illustrations black and white for a coloring book. I keep getting new images.
yes its possible but style and stroke size are NOT consistent
I could not see what was happening on the screeen. Words and numbers was to tiny for me.
There is no free trial anymore :(
so can anyone see and steal your prompts/images?
The frustrating problem I have, and I noticed you didn't mention it, is the grey shading that appears in these images.
When a good portion of your picture already is colored in with grey shading, I can't imagine the person trying to color it is very happy.
The AI is just not smart enough not to do some shading when generating the images.
Anyone who loves colouring would appreciate this it’s called greyscale! A lot of artists love coloring greyscale!
Can you create coloring page from you own photos?
Can you help us with how to create copyright pages?
Your question does not make any sense…
@@pat4005 At 14:48 in the video you said to add a copyright page, is that something you can help us with?
I think a big issue with this is that animals seem to have too many toes. If you really inspect your coloring pages there is almost always something wrong.
How do you keep from others taking your pictures because then it'll be a duplicate of your book.
It's against Midjourney's Terms to use other people's images without their permission. If you see someone has used your image on KDP you can file a copyright infringement claim.
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thank you so much for the reply.
This is the New way and connect it with Chat GPT
🥰🥰
Thanks, this is a great video, I am beginning to create Coloring Books for Amazon KDP with IA, I am using playground and I made a video for YT in spanish explaining the whole process, regards from Mexico!
Are they going to get past the AI created new rules they are coming out with? I know text is easy to tell but what about art. I'd hate to have my book de-ranked or loose an account over using this. Halppp
4:02 starts the ACTUAL information for coloring books prompts for MidJourney if thats what you're her for.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, but we should keep in mind that the technology is still not perfect - look at their paws, many of these dogs have 7 fingers and it looks weird ;) And the first dog (with frisbee) had 5 legs. Many people who buy coloring books are complaining about this kind of errors.
Do amazon promotw these types of AI generated books or after sometime it will ban the account of the AI supported authors? I see genuine authors complaining about this .
2:17 are you familiar with the many complaints popping up in colouring Facebook groups in regards to these AI coloring pages?. As someone who colours, I see numerous fundamental flaws on these images. I’m guessing you’d either need to be a coloring page designer or a coloring book consumer to see them. ppl just trying to sell books might not even be aware of the glaring issues. I’m guessing Amazon will be cracking down on them as the negative reviews start rolling in.
Hi there! This is Reema, Rachel's assistant. Rachel talks about this at the end of the video :)
Yes I agree. I love coloring books but people like those commenting here are flooding with the market with low quality AI garbage.
@@SunnyWinterz same happened to video content, CZcams 5-7 years ago was great but now it’s 80-90% mass produced garbage 🗑️
I’m in a group on Face Book for colourist & I can tell you that we are appalled at what your doing. We will be getting as much support as possible to get this stopped.
@@ALH.Poppins We need to start a petition to Amazon to have them do something. At the very least, separate the AI books from the actual artists.
Always take notice that AI never gets the proportion right so you need to look at actual pictures of reference! This is why I do not support AI over traditional or digital art.
Have you published any of these colouring books using your KDP account? The reason I ask is because from watching your videos you seem very careful on what you publish through your KDP account.
"Hi, nice video!
if I publish my book (mandala book) on amazon kdp, does it have to be stated in the book what I used to make the drawings? Midjourney, Canva etc. Thanks!"
I asked him this question twice, but he immediately deleted my comment xD
so it shows a bit dubious things in my opinion...
No, I haven't published any colouring books on my account. This is the first colouring book interior I've ever created, as the process seemed too labour-intensive before this AI came along. We'll all need to be mindful when using AI and keep up to date with both Midjourney's and KDP's Terms as this is a rapidly evolving space.
No, you don't need to state what you used to create the drawings. If you're using free artwork that requires attribution, however, you will need to attribute the work to its author.
@@RachelHarrisonSund yes absolutely agree about being mindful. Thank you for replying.
create your own server in midjourney, more work when you dont have one.
NO, that's not what my gallery looks like. I cannot figure out how to use midJourney!!!! I've already created the Discord account. What am I doing wrong?
I noticed you had advised your viewers of adding in a copyright page when preparing these AI-generated images for a KDP book... I think you might be wrong in providing that advice, as from what I understand AI art has been determined, by law, as not being copyrightable. I also think it is only right to let your customers know, in the book's description and title, that what they will be getting is AI-generated work so that they can make an informed decision before purchasing the item.
You’re so right
Actually there is a case in New York that a completely generated book with pictures from MJ was able to be copy written. he presents a CZcams video with certification and all
You're using v5, aren't you?
If you were to message Midjourney bot directly you can turn on stealth mode and no one can see what you are creating
Also you don't have to deal with other people's creations in the feed
Is this legal ؟ please
Yes, this is legal. You can read Midjourney's Terms for full information on usage.
The jury is out as far as I know from a copyright point of view. Do Midjourney own the copyright or you as the creator or the person that made the images Midjourney started with? Personally, I'm not risking it
i have just come on to this and there are no "newbies" bots?
Not sure its giving free trials at the moment...or maybe it just doesn't like me.
Can other people take your images in discord?
