About Ebook Cover Designs
There’s a saying that “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” – but it’s a well known fact in the publishing industry that
EBOOK COVERS SELL EBOOKS!
Ereadable Discounted ebooks is an online retailer of ebooks. They offer hundreds of thousands of ebooks on a wide variety of topics. Go ahead – visit the site and find a category of ebook you might be interested in buying.
Now – notice what catches your eye when you drill down and get to the page where you get to choose which ebook to purchase. It’s the ebook cover that catches your eye. It’s what draws you in to learn more about what information awaits inside.
It doesn’t matter if your ebook is fiction or non-fiction – the cover will decide whether readers will click to learn more about your book.
When it comes to selling your ebook – the cover is probably the most important in making the sale. Unfortunately, the cover of your ebook is even more important than the content that is contained within.
People do judge a book by it’s cover – and in the world of ebooks – other than your sales copy – it’s the ONLY way visitors will be able to tell if they want to buy your ebook!
EBOOK COVER DESIGNS SELL EBOOKS!
It’s very tempting for ebook authors to want to “skip” creating an ebook cover for their ebook. Unlike traditionally bound books, it’s possible to sell an ebook without a cover design -but a great cover design will help you sell more ebooks!
Ask yourself – which ebook would you rather buy?
OR
The second image above was taken from an actual ebook which the author was trying to sell her ebook for $34.99. Which ebook would you buy?
Is it any wonder that sales for her ebook skyrocketed once she began featuring the 2nd cover?
YOUR EBOOK NEEDS A PROFESSIONAL LOOKING COVER DESIGN!!!
Remember – people will never be able to pick up your ebook and feel the weight of it’s book binding in their hands. This “image” is the only way for prospective ebook buyers to judge the quality of your ebook.
You know that professional ebook cover designs sell ebooks… but if you’re like most ebook authors – you don’t have the time or expertise to design and create an ebook cover like the “improved” ebook cover design above.
In order to create a high quality image – like the one above – you’ll need graphics software such as Photoshop. (Did I mention that you’ll need a computer with lots of RAM to run it?)
Believe me – using anything less is going to result in a poor quality image for your ebook.
Next, you’re going to get to spend some time LEARNING to use your new graphic design software. (It’s one thing to have an “eye” for design – it’s quite another to learn how to “tame” web graphics software to produce the image you want to display!)
It’s worth it. Really!!! A professional eb0ok cover design WILL make a better impression upon ebook buyers. Just see the example above!
