Ebook-Ecover Design ©2009 Leanne Boyd,
Irrespective of whether you’re actually the author of your eBook or not, the bottom line is, you’re going to be selling it, so you obviously want it to sell well. I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying that one should never judge a book by its cover, but the truth is, people do, particularly when it comes to ebook covers. If you’re serious about selling, and you want to see your book do really well, then you had better look into getting a quality cover design.
Contrary to what some may believe, there is far more to designing compelling eBook covers than what meets the eye. In fact, if you’re in the business of selling eBooks, getting a good cover designer may well prove to be the best business decision you’ve ever made. By doing this, you can be rest assured, your eBook will at the very least, be able to compete on a level playing field.
What Should My eBook Cover Design Do? Essentially, your eBook covers need to stop browsers in their tracks. As they browse through a listing of titles, or as they scroll through your site, you will find that you want them to pause when they come to an image of the eBook that you’re offering. It should be engaging enough to distract them from what they are doing.
Nobody is suggesting that your eBook is lacking in quality. To the contrary, it may be the most informative eBook on the market but until such time that a browser downloads your book and reads it, they simply won’t know, hence the reason why your cover design needs to sell the book. The same also applies to a free download. Unless the cover can convince the browser beyond all doubt that there is something of interest within, they simply won’t download it.
How Can I Make My eBook Covers Engaging? When you are looking at promoting your eBook, remember that you should check out the composition of your cover. Where does your eye fall when you look at it, and what things stand out the most? Make sure that you consider where your title is and how easy it is to read.
What Does an eBook Cover Designer Do? When you have a pro eBook maker on your side, you’ll find that you really have an edge. Take a look at other eBooks that are being sold. They may have great concepts, but for the most part they are going to be quite dull and boring in terms of their covers!
Let’s face it, it’s highly unlikely that you’d leave the design of your website in the hands of someone who is at best, incompetent, so if you’re serious about all this, exercise the same caution with your eBook covers. In order for an eBook to sell, the ebook graphics need to be of such a nature so as to instantly win over any human browser. If it manages to do this successfully, you can rest assured, you’re in running to establish a new lead or even sale.
Before I end off, I just want to stress the importance of good ebook covers one more time. If your ecover leaves a lot to be desired, the only indication you’ll have, will be hardly any sales.
