How to Create eBook Covers |
| This report is about creating professional looking covers for ebooks and other graphics for your Website. However, if you would like to learn about writing and publishing your own ebook, consider the item shown at the right. It's written by two, well-established Internet marketing experts, Jim Edwards and Joe Vitale. Both have earned thousands and thousands of dollars from writing and publishing their own successful ebooks. |

One of the secrets of selling your ebook is that you must present your offer in a very professional manner and one of the first requirements is to have top-notch graphics which depict your product. No matter whether the electronic, downloadable, item is an electronic book, report, magazine, software or if you have a deliverable item such as a CD, good, high-quality graphics can greatly increase the number of sales you will make.
I've seen, as I'm sure you have, some very unprofessional, amateur looking ebook covers that you just know hurt sales more than help. You may have tried creating the graphics yourself only to learn that creating sharp images that look like the real thing is not any easy task or you may have found it impossible to create the look you wanted.
Certainly you can find professional graphic designers that will do the work
for you but the good ones don't come cheap. You should expect to pay
$100 to $200 for a single ebook design. If you have several items to
promote you can quickly see that you may have to reload your checking account
several times to cover the expense.

One way to greatly reduce your expense and still maintain a very professional
look is to use ready-made templates. With these you will be able to quickly
add your own wording, logos or photos using most any graphics program.
The sample templates shown on the left are from a low-cost product called Instant eCover Templates. To learn more about it, click here. |
At National Business Reports we have used and continue to use Instant eCover Templates to produce some of the grahpics presented both on our Website and in certain printed materials. We've found it well worth its low cost.
If you wish to learn how to create your own ecovers as well as other professional grahics you might consider the products from the Xara Company. Their basic graphic program, XaraXtreme, is the one with which we began and still use today. It is one of, if not, the best graphic software programs on the market and at a cost far below the $400 or $500 you are normally required to pay.
XaraXtreme comes with some very good tutorial information including learning videos that make it easy to quickly get a handle on creating nice looking designs no matter your skill level.
At the time this is written you can download the entire XaraXtreme program and try it without risk using the companies 30-day free trial period. The purchase price, the last time we checked, was less than $100.00 ... and believe me that's a true bargain.
In my opinion XaraXtreme is simply the best graphics software for all your drawing and day to day photo needs, ideal for both print and the Web. Whatever graphics you need and whatever your skill level, the famously friendly user interface and fast processing of XaraXtreme will make it an absolute pleasure to be creative ... and at a price that won't break the bank! If you'd like to learn more about the program, see a preview of how it works and view many examples of the graphics that can be created click here.
Keep in mind that in marketing you always need to present a professional appearance. That includes top notch graphics. This brief report has provided you the sources for the required tools to do just that.
We wish you well.
