[JOURNEY] Too much information is killing my progress

[MrGhost1]

Hello Guys and Girls
I've been thinking of writing this thread, for a long time
I'm a multi-tasker and I suffer of knowing too much to make money while I'm making very little
I have been working as freelancer for almost 4 years providing:
- WordPress services
- SEO services
- User interface design
- front end development

I've had the chance to complete multiple projects, currently I'm looking forward to make a passive income, here is my plan:
- Amazon kdp
- digital and printable products on Etsy

anyone could provide any advice, I couldn't advance in the KDP and ETSY, I'm using multiple tools to get the niches
- bookbolt
- bklnk
- topbubbleindex

and focusing on low content books and printable

Thanks in advance, I am overwhelmed with the number of thoughts and ideas that I would like to publish and I'm pointing to get 5k by May

I can relate with you on a few aspects.
It's a good thing you started journaling.

I don't have experience in Amazon kdp, but a little one on Etsy.
For Etsy I saw small success with using their paid ads to promote my items, but ultimately, I stopped that because in time I could barely break on a profit.
It could be due to the single main niche I was active in, and maybe the interest started to drop.

However, a good tip for Etsy is creating coupons of 25-40% off for your items. This will make people more likely to buy. (Adjust your price initially so you remain with your desired sum).

Wishing you all the best in your journey

thanks for the tip, I've launched a campaign for daily planner it only gets views with no sales, and I'm on trying the coupon section, still the keyword research tools still making me feel is the data they show is real or just random
I'm trying this: https://www.topbubbleindex.com/etsy/etsy-keyword-research

for kdp I'm just testing trying to optimize the work flow and book creation duration for coloring books i'm trying to turn photographs into patterns

will keep sharing the journey

How are you trying to do this?

I'm trying multiple tools, I've already made a process to turn graphical images into an outlined images that will allow it to become coloring page, it works fine but needs some improvement
Will share the work flow when I get good results with it

 

[frnckstevenson]

Try doing some physical activities regular and eat healthily food. Clarity and focus should come easier this way.

Why don't you try to slow down a bit the thought process. Like doing gym workouts, or body workouts, cold shower, yoga or stretching, ice baths, walks, journaling and see how that works.

Don't do all of those above in a single day

it's not perfect yet but here it goes, so far I'm using the following tools:
1- https://pinetools.com/image-edge-detection ----- I upload the image to this tool to detect the edges of the image (what i've tried was uploading different kinds of images, illustration are easy to develop and you better turn the image to black and white before uploading to the edge detection.
2- https://tech-lagoon.com/imagechef/en/image-to-edge.html ---- than I upload the result to this tool to remove noise from image.

for the edge detection I believe there are some scripts on github, for anyone who would like to host and try those scripts, haven't tried that yet

Are you progressing? If you're having a problem with coloring pages, why don't you focus on Puzzle Books? Just pump out tons of niche puzzle books and then move on to coloring when you have access to better tools.

Or maybe Mandalas and Mandalas with those motivational words in the middle. There's free Mandala creation tools.

I made some coloring pages in AI (leonardo). It takes some work to get the images to look right. Still too much shaded areas.

 

[kalpana007]

The tools which you are using are paid or free?

First of all you're warmly welcome to the forum dude.
Secondly, being a multi tasker is not a big deal, it was happen to me 2 years ago when I was trying to learn everything just for the sake of money and ultimately there was nothing in my hand even after two years.

Later on I decided to go just with one skillset and master it, consequently I just started with one skill and now its just enough for me. So, I'll highly recommend you to go just with one skill let yourself master it and I'm dam sure there will be no way to earn the money as much as you want.

Regards,
