Hi everyone!
First of all I would like to say how privileged I feel to have found this website and all of the wonderful writers in this forum.
I have enjoyed reading all the amazing conversations and stories here.
However, I haven't been able to find anyone who has self published a picture book like I have.
I am thinking that maybe most picture books really don't do too well with online sales and maybe that is why no one is talking about selling them.
My original business plan was to sell children's clothing but in the process I wrote and illustrated a picture book. Now I am planning to sell copies of my book as well as organic clothing (with my characters printed on them) on my website. I also have free coloring pages and other resources available for teachers and parents.
I'm hoping that I will be able to gradually build a client base and then continue to create products that appeal to the same people.
I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there taking this approach and if so do you have any advice?
