Episode 3205

Adult coloring isn’t a fad; it’s clinically studied anxiety relief. Wellness apps scramble for daily “engagement loops”—breathing timers, journaling prompts, and yes, coloring screens.

Today's guest's ornate mandalas already sell retail, but B2B licensing could 10× her revenue in one transaction. The leap from Etsy vendor to content partner means thinking like a media studio: bundles, usage rights, and ROI metrics. Let’s craft that bridge.

"During pandemic lockdowns I started drawing intricate mandalas, scanned them, and opened an Etsy shop selling printable coloring pages. They sell steadily at two or three bucks each, but it takes a lot of $2 sales to pay rent. I’ve noticed meditation and mental-health apps adding coloring features for user engagement, and that gave me an idea: instead of retail PDFs, could I license entire bundles to those platforms? I have no clue how to price that, what usage rights to offer, or even who to pitch. How does bulk licensing actually work?"
