So instead of guru talk, you’ll get the real play-by-play: what I’m building, what I’m publishing, and what actually happens next.

READ THIS FIRST

Who is this for / not for

This is for builders who want real steps—not hype.

If you’re here to build steadily and learn by doing, you’ll probably feel at home.

But if you want shortcuts, overnight money, or done-for-you success, this won’t be the right fit.

FOR YOU IF…

You want a real printable business you can build steadily.

  • You want to build printables + activity books (coloring, word searches, crosswords, sudoku, themed packs).
  • You want real examples: what I publish, how I list it, what I test, what I change.
  • You prefer a simple sequence over complicated strategies.
  • You’re starting from zero (or close) and want progress you can actually track.
  • You want a builder who shares the wins and the misses.

If you’re building too, you’ll feel at home here.

NOT A FIT IF…

You want shortcuts, overnight money, or done-for-you success.

  • You want “push-button passive income” without publishing and improving.
  • You want guaranteed results without testing, iteration, or consistency.
  • You only want polished success stories—not the messy middle.
  • You’re not willing to ship imperfectly and refine as you learn.
  • You’re not willing to build trust through consistency over time.


No shame. Just not the lane we’re in.

THE BUILD-IN-PUBLIC DEAL

You’re not joining a course. You’re watching a real printable business being built.

No highlight reels. No vague advice. Just receipts.

Weekly Wins + Losses

each week, I share the wins and the misses – what moved the needle, what wasted time, and what I’m adjusting next.

My Exact Tool Stack

I also document the exact tools, templates, and workflows behind every release, so you can plug them into your own process

Steps + Outcomes

You’ll see the weekly action plan, what I published, and the results it produced, so the process stays clear, repeatable, and real.

Steal the process. Skip the guessing.

THE GAME PLAN

The roadmap I’m following (and updating as I learn)

Simple sequence. Consistent shipping. Real progress.

Here’s the simple, repeatable path I’m using to build Color Me Crazy into a real income stream:

Choose one printable type + one audience to start. Clarity beats variety in the beginning.

Complete > perfect. Build one finished product you can publish this week.

Title, thumbnail, description, pricing, licensing. Make it easy to understand and buy.

Simple content + simple promotion that compounds over time.

Improve winners, bundle smart, test themes, and refine listings.

Templates, checklists, and repeatable production so it becomes a business—not burnout.

The goal is simple: ship consistently, learn fast, and build trust through real output.

Builder mantra: Publish → learn → improve → repeat.

  • Templates + checklists as they’re created
    Listing structure, naming conventions, QC steps, and repeatable production systems.
  • A transparent “numbers” snapshot
    Products published, traffic, email list growth, and revenue—shared honestly as it grows.

If you’ve ever said “okay but what do I DO next?”—start here.

ABOUT THE BUILDER

I’m Jason — building this from zero.

I’m building this from the ground up, and I’m showing the work as I go.

Behind Color Me Crazy Coloring Club, I’m the founder doing the building, testing, and publishing in real time.

This isn’t about teaching theory. Instead, it’s about showing the work – products, listings, traffic, and systems – as they happen.

If you want a realistic path (and the assets to follow it), you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free?

Yes – following the journey is free. I’m sharing it publicly to stay accountable, and at the same time, to help other people build something real without getting lost in hype.

Are you selling a course?

No – this isn’t a course. Instead, it’s a real business being built in public.

Do I need design skills to do something like this?

Not really. What you need most is a process, consistency, and a willingness to improve as you go.

How much time do I need each week?

Even 3 – 5 hours per week can move you forward if you stay consistent. Of course, more time helps, but consistency still beats intensity.

Is this only about coloring books?

Coloring is part of it, but the bigger focus is printables and activity books…
