You wrote your book or created software or another product. Now it's time to promote it.

What type of graphic will you need? Well, that depends on what you're selling. Your purpose is to give a visual representation of your product. So you need to choose an image that represents your product(s) and supports your sales message.

Are you selling an ebook, report, CD, DVD, video, software, or a combination of products? Then visually represent those products!

Use an ebook cover image when selling an ebook, a flatter image for reports, a CD image for CDs, a DVD/video cover or CD jewel case for videos, and a box image for software and bundled products.

Give an accurate representation. Don't use a thick book spine when selling a 10-page report. If you do, you can expect more refund requests. If you are selling a report, you can use a special report image or a spiral bound notebook image.

Some people make comment that their ebook that doesn't have a book cover. It doesn't matter. Show an ebook cover image! You are not misrepresenting your product. Your sales letter tells your prospects that your selling an ebook. You are just making your ebook more 'real" and more "visible" to your prospects by providing an ebook cover image.

Let me just clarify something here. An ebook cover is a small image that is different from a hard book cover. It may look like a hard book cover but it isn't. It's a lot smaller and it doesn't have the high resolution that a printed hard book cover has. You can turn your printed hard cover into an ebook cover but you can not turn an ebook cover into a printed book cover. If you need a printed book cover, you must start with the larger, high resolution image.
