Best SellersIf you’re a digital coloring book creator selling on Etsy, Amazon, Gumroad, or Patreon, this post is for you.You’ve probably felt the frustration of trying to stand out on overcrowded platforms. You pour time, care, and talent into your work—only to watch it get buried under generic listings, weighed down by rising fees, and lost in the algorithm.
Right now, there’s a quiet movement happening. A growing number of creators are leaving behind high-fee platforms in search of something better — something that respects their work, offers real profits, and actually helps them grow. And there’s a reason why creators are quietly walking away from these platforms. And a reason they’re choosing something new.
Welcome to Printable Publishing — a digital-only, artist-first marketplace that’s changing how creators sell their work and build their brand.
Why We Exist — And Who We’re For
At the heart of our platform is a deep commitment to supporting small, independent artists. We believe that every artist deserves recognition and the opportunity to thrive financially—not just survive. That’s why our entire model is built around a simple idea: put the artist first.
We’re not here to compete with Etsy or Amazon. We’re here to offer a real alternative. One that gives creators the freedom to price their work fairly, the visibility to grow their audience, and the support to turn their creative passion into a sustainable income stream.
We’re not just a platform. We’re a values-driven, collaborative community, built to empower creators, amplify their voices, and fuel long-term success.
We actively listen, adapt, and evolve with the needs of our partners—because their success is our success.
What Is Printable Publishing?
Printable Publishing is the first marketplace built for creators, by creators. A marketplace exclusively for coloring, drawing and activity books.
No stickers. No mugs. No generic clipart. Just premium, high-quality creative content from talented artists around the world.
What makes us different?
- Niche focus: Every visitor is looking for one thing—creative books.
Which means better visibility and more targeted buyers. - Higher profits: Our commission is the lowest in the industry.
With some plans, you even keep 100% of your earnings.
We believe in giving back to the authors, what’s rightfully theirs!
You can even start with zero upfront costs and scale with simple, predictable pricing. - Free marketing tools: We handle SEO, Pinterest, Instagram, and blog promotion so you don’t have to.
You don’t have to bend over backwards to learn a cryptic algorythm or spend hours researching SEO keywords.
We offer 100% free promotional options and SEO support through AI tools. No additional fees, no nothing. - Artist-first design: You have full control over your listings, pricing, bundles, and discounts.
You also have full control of your earnings and commission rates depending on which partnership you prefer and choose.
And we never charge any additional or hidden fees – that’s exactly what we we’re trying to escape when leaving the big marketplaces behind in the first place. - AI-powered backend: From onboarding to analytics and SEO, we automate the tech so you can focus more on your art.
We utilize AI to ensure that we never have to raise our commission rates or introduce ridiculous fees due to e.g. rising employee costs.

The Real Math: How Much More Could You Earn?
Let’s break it down.
| Platform | Earnings on $100 Sale |
|---|---|
| Etsy (15% fees avg) | $85 |
| Amazon KDP (30–60%) | $40–$70 |
| Printable Publishing (2–5%) | $95–$98 |
That’s $10–$50 more per sale, straight to your pocket. And with our Pro Plan (after the trial), you can even sell with 0% commission.
When you sell your art, you should keep the profits. We make that happen.
We don’t believe creators should lose 20% of their revenue just to be seen.
That’s why we flipped the model and made you the priority.
Who Is This For and what’s in it for you?
If you’re any of the following, Printable Publishing was built with you in mind:
- Etsy/Amazon Sellers sick of fees and restrictions.
- Independent Artists looking for higher visibility and support.
- Therapists/Educators selling activity books or creative wellness content.
- Independent shop owner drowning in webshop maintenance, tech-issues and administrative tasks you don’t care about.
We believe in being transparent—so here’s what you can realistically expect from joining Printable Publishing.
What’s great:
- Keep more of what you earn — Our lowest-tier plan still beats Etsy’s rates by a mile.
- Stand out in your niche — With no product dilution, your work won’t be buried under irrelevant listings.
- Free, done-for-you marketing — We drive organic traffic to your listings across search engines and social platforms.
- Artist-first policies — Set your prices, manage your shop, and grow on your terms.
- Community over competition — You’ll be part of a vendor network that supports and shares rather than competes and undercuts.
What’s not:
- We’re still growing — You’ll be part of the early wave. That’s a massive opportunity, but it means less buyer traffic right now.
- Strictly niche — We only allow digital coloring books. No SVGs, journals, or physical goods – yet! We are however planning on introducing POD’s as soon as possible.
If you’re a focused creator looking for a high-profit, low-hassle, values-aligned home for your books—this is it.
Where We’re Headed
We’re not building this for a quick flip. Our long-term goals are bold, and they’re grounded in strategy and sustainability.
- 200+ sellers by early 2026
- 30% market share of the digital coloring book niche within one year
- Global reach across English-speaking markets and beyond
As we grow, our early creators grow with us. The vendors joining now won’t just make more sales — they’ll help shape the platform itself.
If you’re looking for fast growth in a supportive space, this is your early-mover advantage.
Our growth = your exposure = more sales for you!
This Is Bigger Than Just Selling
You’re not just joining a platform — you’re actively taking part in shaping the future of digital publishing and setting the standard for what acceptable minimum profits should look like when you’re an author and creator. We truly believe that buyers should be financially supporting the artists, not the marketplace.
You’re not just listing a product. You’re joining a movement — one built around empowerment, profit, and real community.
Too many platforms treat creators as a commodity. We treat you as a partner. We ask for your input, evolve based on your feedback, and work to create a platform where digital artists can grow long-term. Because when creators thrive, everyone benefits — the art gets better, the audience grows, and the value compounds.
This is how we build a better creative economy. One vendor, one book, one sale at a time.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to move away from Etsy or Amazon… this is it.
You have the chance to be among the first 100 partners who help shape the future of digital coloring book publishing.
