Instantly Boost Your
Ebook Sales
with an Ebook Cover Image
Leva Duell
Images can instantly boost your ebook sales. They
can change
the look of your web pages and make your web site look more professional.
It's especially important to represent your ebook
with an image. When used correctly, quality ebook covers can double
and even triple your ebook sales. Here's why. An ebook cover image
makes your ebook look "real." It supports your sales message.
And it boosts your credibility.
Here's some tips to make your book cover effective:
- Convey
the book topic at a glance. Carefully select your images to best
represent your ebook and support your sales message. You can do
that by choosing images that are related to your book's topic.
- Choose
the right words for your title and any text you're using on the
book cover. Your book title should be a compelling, benefit-oriented
headline.
- Make
your book title readable. Keep the text short. An ebook image
is small. The less text you use, the larger and more readable
your text will be. You may want to use a short version of your
book title.
- Use
a larger font for the title than for the subtitle or bullets.
Use fonts that are readable in a small size. Arial, Impact, and
Futura are great fonts for the title of your ebook.
- Use
special type effects such as drop shadow and outline.
- Select
colors that work with your web site colors. I recommend designing
the web images first, then use a color theme for the web site
that works with the images. If you already have a web site, tell
your designer so he can select colors that will work for your
site.
- Be
Unique. Be original. Stand out from your competition. Don't copy
someone else's design. Make your book cover unique. Use custom
design.
- Use
ALT tags to improve your search engine positioning. Include ALT
tags in your images. Search engines can't read images. Alt tags
tell them what the image is about. Use your main keyword in your
ALT tags.
Don't underestimate
the importance of ebook cover images. Try them. It's one of the
easiest ways to instantly increase your credibility and sales.
