Hi Reader, If you’ve ever tried creating children’s book illustrations using AI, you’ve probably faced one big frustration — keeping your characters consistent. Maybe you’ve spent hours perfecting a main character in one image, only to have them look completely different when you change the background, pose, or expression. I’ve been there too, and it’s one of the biggest roadblocks for self-publishers if you're using AI for illustrations. After experimenting with countless tools and techniques including ChatGPT, Tensor.art and Canva, I’ve finally found a solution that actually works. It's relatively new to the market and I cam across it just over a month ago. It's called ConsistentCharacter.ai. In my latest YouTube video, I take you behind the scenes to show how this powerful tool helps me create consistent, professional-looking characters for my children’s books, every single time! The process is simple:
In the video, I build a young boy character for a watercolor-style picture book. The premis of my book is about a 12-year-old who is tinkering in his grandpa’s old barn and discovers a 1930's vintage plane. I walk through the entire process step by step, adjusting details like the cap, background, and additing an additional character until the results are spot on. The end result is stunning: the same character in multiple poses, settings, and scenes and all ready for a full children’s book. The best part is you get full commercial rights, and that's a MUST when developing your illustrations. If you’re publishing on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark or creating your own illustrated stories, this tool can save you hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars.

Hi Reader, When people tell me they feel stuck creating their course, it's rarely about the tech.More often, it's this: “I have all this knowledge… but I don’t know how to structure it into a course.” It’s a common problem, and a crucial one. A well-structured course doesn’t just make your content easier to teach, it makes it easier for your students to learn, and when your students get results, your course gets shared, reviewed, and recommended. That’s how you grow. Here’s how to make sure...
Hi Reader, It’s no surprise that so many self-publishers focus on no-content and low-content books. They’re quick to produce, easy to publish, and offer a great way to learn the ropes. But what if the real opportunity was somewhere else? In my latest YouTube video, I unpack why children’s books might just be the hidden goldmine on Amazon KDP. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/yHZh68653aM Having published over 20 children’s books myself, I’ve noticed something interesting: while the time and...
