Re: eBook Covers Free graphics

Dear Internet Entrepreneur:

You have just completed your ebook or other digital product, and it is almost ready to put it up on the Internet. Almost ready... yeah, right.

There are many digital products available on the Internet, and making your product stand out from the crowd is sure going to be a challenge . First impressions count. In fact, the first impression is so crucial, it can very well be the deciding factor for a potential customer to choose YOUR product over your competitors'.

There are prospective customers all over the Internet just waiting to purchase what you have to offer. But you must ensure that your product stands out above your competitors’. And you may only have one opportunity to favorably impress your web visitors enough that they will want to buy your product. Essentially, you only have the use of text and graphics to make that first impression. That means you must have a compelling sales message, accompanied by high-quality images that support that message to ensure sales.

Attract Attention to Your eBook Instantly

It only takes 5 seconds for a prospect to decide to stay or leave. And within that short time frame, you want your prospects to notice your digital product at a glance . You have to get your prospect interested enough to stay at your site and start reading your message. In addition to a great headline, the most effective way to accomplish this is through an appealing, targeted, quality image.

If all else is equal, the site with the better graphics (i.e. quality, 3-D book covers) will almost invariably enjoy greater sales. The flip-side to this is equally true. If your graphics are poorly done, or you don’t use any graphics, than your sales will most definitely suffer. A quality image tells your prospective customers that your product is high quality. This lends greater credibility to your product, your web site and even you, and your potential customers feel more confident about purchasing from you.

Do You Buy Ugly Books?

Probably not. Book covers sell books. Ask any bookstore manager. Ask any successful Web site that sells books.

Sure, the headline and sales copy will go a long way to inform of the book's contents. But, unconsciously you are going to be attracted to the illustrated cover. Your impression will be that this book has greater value. Simply put, you decide that "what you see is what you get" and that is usually enough to sway you to buy that particular book.

The 3-D eBook Cover Makes Your eBook
Look All the More Real

Prospective buyers can't touch or feel digital files (e.g., ebook, software). They certainly can't open them and take a peak into them! In brick and mortar stores, we can use all of our senses to help us evaluate a product we are interested in buying. However, on the Internet we are basically limited to just the sense of sight. This means we only have text and graphics to convince a potential customer to buy our product.

That's why you must present your visitors with a professional, high-quality, 3-dimensional-looking ebook cover.

An ebook cover is a 3-dimensional representation of a book cover. Even though your ebook is not a physical item, this 3-D cover image conveys that your ebook is indeed a real thing. This in turn gives the potential customer a greater sense of confidence that they would be purchasing something real and valuable.

Experience has shown that using high-quality, 3-D ebook cover images has resulted in a tremendous increase in sales; a 200% and even 300% increase is not uncommon.

Here are more reasons why ebook covers are important:

• A high-quality, 3-D cover image can give you a winning edge over your competition.
• They make you, and your web site, look more professional.
• They give impact to your web site and dramatically change the look of your site. A professional-looking ebook cover will give you and your ebook instant credibility. In turn, because your visitors trust you more, you will see an increase in your sales.
• They give your site a unique look.
• They provide branding.

Here are some samples of cover images:

Ebook Cover	Box Cover	CD Cover
DVD Cover	Box Bundle	Ezine Cover
Report Cover	Combination Package	Membership Card

Every successful marketer learned back in Marketing 101 that the packaging will most often determine how well an item will sell. Successful Internet marketers of ebooks and software understand the importance of the cover design (book or box). They use quality, 3-D images to represent their products and increase the perceived value.

Quality Inspires Confidence and Sales

You may have produced the world's most important book on your subject, but who is going to know if nobody reads it?

A quality 3-D book or box image tells potential customers that you take your business and your products seriously. They will very much sense this and will unconsciously feel more confidence in you and what you are selling. Quality ebook covers inspire confidence in your potential buyers, and this promotes more sales. But to inspire trust, you need to use quality cover images, not something that looks thrown together.

When looking through books at a bookstore, what makes you pick up a book? Most likely it's the book cover. Likewise, a visually appealing ebook cover will attract attention to your ebook. It makes your ebook "real" for your buyers.

There are tons of ebooks on the web, so customers need motivation to buy YOUR ebook. An attractive ebook cover will grab the customer's attention and make them want to read your ebook.

Let's say you visit two different Web sites, both selling an ebook about starting a home-based business. On one site, the book cover is a flat rectangle representing the basic shape of the front of a book. Furthermore, while it has some color and illustrations, these images have nothing to do with the subject of the book, plus the photo is a little blurry. The second site shows a three-dimensional ebook image. It "looks" like a real book. The picture conveys a mom working on a computer with a child on her lap, representing a home-based computer business. Added to that, the photo and the colors on the cover image all work well together.

Now, which ebook are you likely to be drawn to? Which one gives you a sense that it has greater value? Clearly, the one represented by the well-designed, 3D cover with a relevant image will influence you in a more positive way, and will more likely induce you to purchase that book.

A Quality eBook Image is Vital to Your eBook Sales!

If you are selling a book on the Internet (heck, even if you are giving it away), your marketing success is going to depend on how potential buyers perceive its value.

Show a flat cover with no illustrations or inappropriate images, and no one will want it. Display a 3-D cover with well-thought-out images, colors and title text, and you will instantly boost your ebook sales!

You certainly DON'T want to lose a lot of potential sales simply because you're using a lousy-looking cover or worse ... not using an ebook cover at all. And no matter how good your sales letter is, you still need an ebook cover.

Professional Looking One-of-a-Kind eBook Covers

Your ebook cover graphic must look professional, have smooth edges, and use the right colors and images. A 3-dimensional ebook image has a more realistic look than a flat cover image. Unless you are experienced in graphic design, and can create a high-quality, 3-D book cover image, doing it yourself is likely to be an exercise in frustration.

A good ebook cover can increase sales instantly.
eBook covers can help you make the sale ... or lose it!

So, what are your options to get quality ebook covers?

• You can create your own ebook cover, but if you don’t have the right experience, you could be spending a lot of your time and still have less than favorable results.
• Or, you can invest in software that creates the cover for you. However, even the best quality software is going to rely on your graphic design ability to make the right choices of images and colors.

Or, you can hire a graphic designer to get the job done for you... A designer can bring all the right elements together to produce the kind of high-quality cover your ebook deserves.

Hiring a designer gives you many benefits: You will be assured of getting a quality ebook cover to help maximize your sales potential, and it will free you up to concentrate on writing and promoting your ebook(s) and other products.

Here's what a specialized custom ebook designer can do for you:

• Custom designs unique images to make you stand out from your competition.
• Carefully selects your images to best represent your ebook and support your sales message.
• Makes your headline and sub-headlines stand out.
• Makes your book title readable. An ebook image is small and it can be a challenge to make your book title readable on a small surface.
• Uses fonts that are readable in a small size.
• Uses special type effects such as drop shadow and outline.
• Selects colors that work with your Web site colors.

Let me ask you:

Do you have graphics design skills? If you don't, do you want to stop wasting your time trying to create compelling ebook covers yourself that only get disappointing results?

If you want to sell lots of ebook and are frustrated with not getting all the ebook sales you want, you should seriously consider hiring a professional. You could spend days, weeks, or even months learning how to create your own ebook cover. And after spending all that time and enduring all the frustration, you still may not be very happy with the image you create.

If you don’t have an ebook cover, or a bad quality cover, then you have lost a significant opportunity to capture your prospects' attention and make a sale!

Don't underestimate the importance of ebook cover images. It's one of the easiest ways to instantly increase your credibility and ebook sales.
