In order to create an appealing eBook cover, you may go to a bookstore observe which book covers attract their attention. You can also look at other eBooks, not to copy them but to make them as an example or model, to get the factors that you think appeal to buyers, and to develop your own cover based on your observations.

Once you have determined what you really want, you can start building your cover in your mind. If you cannot do a cover alone, talk to an expert and explain to him what you want to do with your eBook cover. You may also want to draw your intended cover for your book because having a concrete copy is always good in case of forgetting some details. Not to mention that writers or publishers and eBook designers oftentimes have a difficult time understanding and explaining to each other what must be done to the cover they are working on. Samples will save both parties from that headache.

When you know what to do, it is time to make your ecover. Remember that you must not overdo your cover because it will not give good effect. Remove all unnecessary elements on your design. Your cover must be simple and direct to the point. Treat your cover as a form of promotion. Put only the things that will tell the buyers what the book is all about in just one glance. Your cover is the representation of your book. Do not put things that have no connection with the contents of your book. Make your ecover design appealing. Use bright colors so they will attract peoples’ attention. Pick you images carefully.

You should take time choosing and making your eBook cover although making covers does not often take time. Being hands on with the project is good. Remember that you and the experts are different people. You do not have the same brains and ideas so you must cooperate fully so will not get dissatisfied in the end.

As a summary, gather information on how you want your cover to look like. Then, if you do not know how to make your own cover, look for a specialist and discuss with him what you want. Choose details that will attract people but remember also that your cover must be simple enough to be beautiful and must serve as the book’s summary. Always remember, appearances do matter.

1. There are required fonts in eBook making. They are 12 point Arial or Times New Roman. Be sure to indent each paragraph five spaces. Editing your work several times to limit your errors. Hiring a professional editor will also be a great help if you want to make your eBook great. Afterwards, save it as a word document. Next, go online to send your book to be copyrighted.
2. Now, type EBook publishers. Various publishers will appear on your screen. All you have to do is take your time and search for the publisher that will publish your very own eBook. Of course, every publisher is the best in their own website so you have to choose carefully. List first what you are looking for in a publisher and study each very carefully. Be sure not to miss anything and that will definitely narrow your list. Leaving three or four choices will be easier. Now you have to track down former writers who worked with that company and interview them how the work went. Also check the Better Business Bureau to know if complaints have been launched and if there are, of what reasons.
3. When you are through choosing your publisher, you now have to create your own website. Don’t worry about expenses because there are online locations where you can create a professional looking website for free. However, you still need to pay a monthly fee to maintain your site but this gives you the control over your site. You can change your site, add new events, or change something you do not like perhaps. This actually saves money than hiring a professional and what’s more, you know what you want to happen in your site and you have the power to make it happen. Now it is time for you to add Amazon, Barnes and Nobles or any other places in your site where people can buy your eBook.
4. You should consider Facebook, Twitter, and all the other blogs that are pertinent to the subject matter of your eBook to create as much “buzz” about your book in the interval of sending your book to be published and receiving your first shipment.When the most awaited time arrives, when the publisher says your book is available in the market, you must go to your website and tell the world that they can finally purchase your book. Promotion will also be good.

Factor 1. The Learning Curve

The first thing you must ask yourself is how many hours you will need to be able to use the application. There are some ecover software that have accompanying photo editor, you must also ask how the photo editor works.

How long will be the learning curve? Most of the time, we buy things only when we have immediate need of them. If you purchase ecover software and your need is urgent, you must buy software that is easy to learn. The features must be easy to navigate. There are also some ecover software that requires you to learn another program to be able to properly use the main application. Some even introduce new graphics format that will require some of your time to study and understand. If it is the best software there is, and you have time to explore it and learn, choose that software.

Factor 2. The Number and Type of Ecover

This does not need lengthy discussion. It is as simple as asking how many ecovers can you make and what type? There are ecover applications that offer limited number of ecovers that you can make. Most of the time, these application are accessed online. The developers do not offer this for shipping so you can have total control to the number of ecovers that you can make. However, some ecover software can give you unlimited number of images that you can use, publish, and sell. The former is a lot cheaper than the latter.

The ecover application you must buy it the one that enables you to make not only eBook covers but also other products, such as CD ecovers, brochures, stationary, and screenshot presentations. Some offer making paperback and hardback ecovers for eBooks, software boxes, DVD ecovers, binders, and cards. This software is good because you may not know the extent your business may reach.

Factor 3. The Developers’ Reputation

Some sales pages of ecover applications include awards their company has received. This is good marketing strategy, buy buyers must beware. The awards may not be related to the product you plan to buy. The site or manufacturer may have received a “Product Excellence Award” from a prestigious award-giving body but it may not be for the ecover software. It may be given because of other application they have developed.

Another marketing strategy that works is the testimonials included on the site. Sometimes these testimonials are put there without even the person’s knowledge. Here is a tip: Do not believe testimonial without link that you can click so you can check. Most of the time, it is not true. If the homepage of the person quoted is included, take time to follow it up. It pays to check to be sure. You will be investing your money in a very useful application, so better be sure than sorry.

A lot of people are making money online by giving instructions to others on how they themselves can make money like they are doing. How ironic! The eBooks that they sell tells you that you can earn online by making another eBook that will tell others to make eBooks. The endless cycle goes on and on.

Now seriously, why is it that many people succeed with their goal to earn huge amount of money, when others are failing miserably? Is it pure luck or is there a secret these successful people are not telling and keeping for themselves?

I believe enough of the system really works well, but people miss some significant factors resulting in their failure. My point is that people do not follow the instructions properly because they do not really understand how the system works; they are too lazy to do the hard parts; or they become impatient and look for another system they think might work.

When the guide tells them that they need a very good ecover design for their book, they refuse to do it, sell their eBook with low-quality ecover, and sell nothing. Again the cycle revolves around, but this time, it is the failure cycle that goes on. Frustrations set in until they give up believing the system that could have made them a lot richer.

Understanding the system perfectly before taking any steps is very essential. It is like understanding first that you will drown in water, so you must learn how to swim first, before performing your perfect dives that will give you perfect tens from the judges. Failure to follow this simple instruction will harm you, or worse, kill you. Many of those who tried and failed will agree that somehow, somewhere, they failed to fully comprehend how the system works. They assumed; they failed.

There is no easy money. Even illegal businesses, which seemingly give large amount of money, go through a lot of troubles and problems; aside from the proverbial long arms of the law. What I am saying is that you need to work hard to make money especially online where competition is getting steep each passing day. EBook business has stages where you need to work harder than your competitors. You will have to sacrifice personal pleasures and a lot of money just to stay afloat. Only those who have endured will be able to harvest the fruits of their hard labor.

Impatience is the worst attitude a person can have. I know this because I was very impatient before and I suffered numerous failures. It is a good thing that I went into eBook business that I learned the truth behind the saying “Patience is virtue.” Sadly, many people are like children who want something that they want to have now or else… This will not work in eBook business, or in any other business. Read about successful entrepreneurs and you will see that they know how to wait and never give up, until they get what they dream of.
