If so, what platform or tools did you use, and would you recommend them? I'm currently building my own website and trying to decide the best approach. I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who have built a website themselves rather than hiring a developer. What worked well for you, what didn't, and if you were starting again today, what would you do differently? I'd love to learn from your experiences. Thanks in advance!

Have any of you published a children's colouring book on Amazon KDP or other publishing platforms? I'm currently working on my own children's colouring book project and would love to learn from those who have already been through the process. If you could go back and give your pre-publishing self one piece of advice, what would it be? Poll Options: I'd especially love to hear: - What surprised you most after publishing? - What mistakes would you avoid if starting again? - What worked better than expected? - Is there anything you wish someone had told you before you hit "Publish"? Thank you in advance for sharing your experience. Your advice could save a beginner from making some expensive or time-consuming mistakes! 😊

If getting your books into stores is one of your goals, this is definitely a video you'll want to watch. 👇
