How you can monetize it.

Sell personalised books per orderThe article's worked example prices each book at ₹1,000; 100 books a month is ₹1,00,000 in revenue before printing, platform fees, delivery and marketing.

Choose where to sellList a real sample book on Etsy for international buyers, or on your own website for buyers in India. Etsy and Indian payment gateways take roughly 5-8% of order value.

Plan for fixed costsChatGPT and Canva subscriptions come to about ₹2,000-₹3,000 a month regardless of order volume.
