Anyone can earn $3,000/mo passively with Children's comic books

Sadly, most people think it requires too much time, creativity and money.

Here’s how to do it, easily in an hour, for FREE:

This is the comic I have created using this method.

Step 1: Choose your topic.

Consider popular topics like animals, vehicles, fairies etc.

You can also use ChatGPT to generate ideas.

I choose comic book with animals, since I like them.

Step 2: Describe your main character

After choosing your topic, ask chatGPT to describe your main character features, like hair, face, eye, age etc.

We need this to make our character consistent.

Step 3: Write the entire story

Now ask ChatGPT to come up short story with title, scene text and poster.

You will be using "Action" in creating comic illustrations.

Note down the characters too, seperately, which we will also be using in illustration.

Step 4: Generate comic illustration

Prompt: "Comic illustration of a <main charter>. <scene action>, —ar 7:4, Seed:100"

Details of the prompt:

main charter: get from step 2
scene action: get these from every scene in step 3

—ar 7:4: for horizontal long size (change according to your size)
Seed:100: for maintaining character consistency

Remember, you can always regenerate until you are satisfied 

Step 5: Book cover

You can ask the DALL E to create book cover with the generated images, along with title.

Step 6: Create in comic book style

You can do so using Canva, by adding the generated illustrations and the scene text.

Step 7: Upload your content to Amazon KDP.

KDP is effective for selling printed children's books, as they tend to perform exceptionally well on this platform.

One of the key advantages of Amazon is its extensive reach, making it one of the most prominent publishers available. 

Step 10: Pricing

Compare other similar books in the same category

Try to match and lower them to make it affordable to masses.

Step 9: Marketing

Consider running Amazon ads.

Most effective marketing activities for promoting a new book.

Best part is that Amazon provides the option to run ads on their platform for as little as $1 a day.

The 13th Century CE, Indian poet and saint Gyandev created a children's game called Moksha Patam. The British later named it as Snakes and Ladders instead of retaining the original Moksha Patam. Originally, the game was used as a part of moral instruction to children. The squares in which ladders start were each supposed to stand for a virtue, and those housing the head of a snake were supposed to stand for an evil. The snakes outnumbered the ladders in the original Hindu game. The game was transported to England by the colonial rulers in the latter part of the 19th Century CE, with some modifications. In the original one, a ‘hundred squares game board’, the 12th square was faith, the 51st square was reliability, the 57th square was generosity, the 76th square was knowledge, and the 78th square was asceticism. These were the squares where the ladders were found and one could move ahead faster. The 41st square was for disobedience, the 44th square for arrogance, the 49th square for vulgarity, the 52nd square for theft, the 58th square for lying, the 62nd square for drunkenness, the 69th square for debt, the 84th square for anger, the 92nd square for greed, the 95th square for pride, the 73rd square for murder and the 99th square for lust. These were the squares where the snake waited with their mouth open. The 100th square represented Nirvana or Moksha.The tops of each ladder depicted a God, or one of the various heavens (Kailash, Vaikunth , Brahmalok) and so on. As the game progressed various actions were supposed to take you up and down the board as in life..The game had been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad ones. The game was popular in ancient India. It was also associated with traditional Sanatan philosophy contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. It emphasized destiny, as opposed to games such as pachisi, which focused on life as a mixture of skill and luck. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in Victorian England in 1892. The modified game was named Snakes and Ladders and stripped of its moral and religious aspects and the number of ladders and snakes were equalized. In 1943, the game was introduced in the US under the name Chutes and Ladders.

what makes a good story

Students at NYU asked the creators of South Park the million-dollar question: “What makes a good story?” They gave one of the best explanations of story I’ve heard: “If we can take the beats of your outline, and the words ‘and then’ belong between those beats… you got something pretty boring. What should happen between every beat you’ve written down is the words ‘therefore’ or ‘but.’” They go on to say, “That gives you the causation between each beat, and that makes a story.” Point 1: There’s an idea in storytelling called ‘Promise, Progress, Payoff.’ Essentially, a story is a neverending cycle of promises that are paid off over the span of the story. It’s a cycle of expectation and resolution. Cause and effect. Conflict and progress. Point 2: A story isn’t a bunch of random events thrown together. A story is a series of but / because / therefore moments. A famous example: • Harry discovers he's a wizard. Because of this, he goes to learn magic at Hogwarts. • But then he learns Voldemort wants to kill him and rule the world. • Therefore, he must find a way to defeat him. Point 3: ‘And’ implies a simple continuation. ‘But / Therefore’ give prior events meaning through causation. ‘But’ implies conflict. ‘Therefore’ implies progress. I’m reminded of a Hemingway quote: “Prose is architecture, not interior decoration.” Great writing is intentional. It doesn’t wander. It builds upon itself. ***

If you only support free speech for people you agree with, you don't support free speech.

I recently attended my 10-year Stanford University reunion. 10 lessons I learned: 1. Identity is the real thing we're searching for. Everyone thinks they're looking for money or success, but what they're really looking for is identity. The search for identity is the common thread that connects everyone. Identity is fluid—embrace it in the present, diversify to lower your risk, and seek out new perspectives to challenge yourself. 2. Your daily habits show up on your face after 10 years. When you're young, you can get away with treating your body and mind like crap. But you can't hide forever. 10 years later, your good (or bad) daily habits show up on your face. 3. The Medici Effect is real. The Medici family's funding of the arts created a talent and idea density in Florence that gave rise to the Renaissance. College campuses are mini versions of 15th century Florence. Many had left campus and never experienced anything like it again. Conversely, those who made an effort to frequent high density locations had experienced the benefits. 4. Insecurity tells, confidence shows. People who are crushing it rarely feel a need to tell you that they’re crushing it. Insecurity is loud, confidence is quiet. 5. Plans are great, but life will generally laugh at them. Those who are thriving had kept their compass pointed to the north, but learned to take the blows and pivot on the fly. Laugh at your plans and keep moving forward. 6. Fighting the Zebra Effect is hard (but worth it). Researchers struggled to study zebras because the stripes blended together in packs, so they placed a red dot on the side of zebras they wanted to track. They were quickly eaten by lions. Blending in is a survival mechanism. But it's only by taking risk to stand out that you accomplish remarkable things. 7. Freedom is rare, but incredibly apparent. There were very few people who seemed truly free. The rare few had been intentional about building freedom into their lives. They weren't the richest, but their energy was infectious. 8. We get more embarrassing with age. I used to wonder why parents were so embarrassing. Now I know, we get more embarrassing with age—or we just mature enough to be comfortable with ourselves. At the class party, we danced poorly and sang off tune. Proudly embarrassing. 9. Shared struggle builds unbreakable bonds. My baseball teammates and I crawled through the metaphorical (and literal) mud together. Those bonds were forged through suffering, and they are not easily broken. Find the people you'd crawl through the mud with. 10. Life is much more fragile than you think. Since 2013, we've lost several classmates and loved ones. But amidst the sadness, real beauty has come from it: Everyone is much quicker to smile, hug, and say "I love you" to an old friend.
