I borrowed my mom’s iPad in college and used it to create all the images for my coloring book. Made https://t.co/LY1SBtUaoK on IG and promoted BTS leading up to preorders. Used preorder amount to pay for production, isbn, and copyright. Walked to independent bookstores in town and emailed museums to sell my bookstore.

I made $43,000 +

Used all the money to pay for my school fees since my parents cut me off for switching from Statistics to Art. I hold no animosity, it made me take things seriously
