"Children's Book Formula"?

10 replies
Just wanted to know if anyone has checked this out yet-by John Rhodes and Jay Boyer? Or would love to hear from anyone who is in this market, particularly how you got the artwork done, for those of us that aren't visual artists, since these books rely on good art for every page.

Any tips you have on marketing or writing them would be appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance to all Warriors who might chime in: you guys ROCK!

    Tony Laidig has a course on illustrating. He takes pictures and then uses Photoshop or Gimp
    on them to make them look like artwork.

    To be honest I have stopped following those guys due to the last big course they were teaching on Kindle which was about publishing PLR and changing the chapter titles and injecting a few new sentences. On top of that, I was on a webinar with them which was a weekly training, and they still were teaching about using PLR, however it may of changed now.

    My guess is, this course is about penetrating a loop whole on children's book publishing. With that being said they create very good training videos.

    Take it as you will, I would prefer my Kindle account active rather than a banned account.

    I know of no course that John and Jay put out about using PLR. Please name that course.

      We do not recommend using PLR for your books.

      For a while, that was a pretty good model. But,
      we stopped using PLR in our books more than 1
      year ago... don't do it!

        Serously, don't trust these guys Rhodes and Boyer, they sell you a program and DO NOT support it...

        Their support center is just there for show as they never reply..

        If you want a refund, you can go and whistle...

        To anyone in general. I don't know when the tablet cash machines course came out, but things in this industry that work can change quickly/ or in a matter of years. PLR used to be a good route for many uses awhile back, but it does not work now. I don't own the product so I can't speak to that, but what I do know is that John Rhodes and Jay Boyer are the good guys here. Rhodes gave another route to go up above, and if you have questions or need help with something if you email their support you will get help.

    I've been following jay and john from 2013 and I have never buy a single course from them because the free webinars and workshops were good enough for me. they usually sell tools and services, I don't know anything about their coaching courses but I am sure about one single thing, they never mentioned PLR in their webinars since 2014 because PLR is dead and Amazon kindle block anyone that use this method since 2012.

    Well try to watch their webinars first and then decide if you should try the coaching program
