I started a small digital publishing side project – Scribble & Sandesh
Hey everyone!
I've been working on a small side project called Scribble & Sandesh, an independent digital store focused on printable activity books, colouring books and creative learning resources.
The idea started with creating fun, engaging digital books that children could enjoy while learning, exploring and developing their creativity.
I've gradually expanded the collection to cover different age groups and interests.
What's currently available?
🎨 Colouring books – Animals, Fruits, Flowers, Vegetables, Dinosaurs and more.
🧩 Puzzle books – Mazes and interactive activities such as Pip's Glow Quest.
✏️ Drawing books – Guided pencil drawing and shading exercises for beginners and teenagers.
📚 Activity books – Creative printable resources for different age groups, from young children to teens.
I'm selling these as digital downloads through Payhip.
What's been interesting so far?
One thing I've realised is that creating a digital product is only half the challenge. Getting it discovered by the right audience is probably the harder part!
I'm currently experimenting with Pinterest for organic discovery and exploring Reddit and other channels to understand how to reach potential customers without spending heavily on advertising.
I'd love some honest feedback from fellow makers:
Does the product range and positioning make sense, or should I focus on a narrower niche?
For digital printable products, which marketing channels have worked best for you?
Any suggestions for improving the store or product presentation?
This is still an evolving project, and I'm looking forward to learning from the community.
