How to Create a Winning Book Cover

I know you need to create a book cover, because everyone knows book covers sell books. So you should do it yourself… Right?

Wait! Don’t try to create your own book cover …

…Unless you have the right tools!

Having a BAD COVER can hurt sales!
Having a GREAT book cover can put lots
of money in your pockets.

I came across some new software, BookCoverPro. It’s an awesome piece software that let’s you create professionally designed book covers even if you are not great with graphics or computers.

How is it different than other book cover software out there?

1) It is designed for self publishers.

2) It produces barcodes for your book jacket.

3) It produces output that you can send straight to your online printer like Lulu and BookSurge.

4) It has no complicated functions like Photoshop or Illustrator.

5) It is totally template driven which means it’s simple even for beginners.

6) It is compatible with Mac and PC computers.

What’s NOT so great about it?

1) It is not for everyone. It is designed for self publishers. This means you plan to print a certain number of REAL books not ebooks for sale.

2) There are several cheaper ebook cover creators out there if you only want a cover for your website and you don’t want to produce a printed book.

The folks at BookCoverPro have a neat screen show that shows you exactly how it works. If you do nothing else, take 2 minutes to watch it and you’ll see how great it really is.
