If a picture can tell a thousand words, digital product covers are priceless!
It doesn't matter if you're promoting an eBook, eZine, software, Special
Reports, or even a membership site. Imagery is everything.
Promote it to the fullest extent you can with descriptive words and phrases.
Build a solid foundation with adjectives. Feather it silky smooth with emotion.
Then SLAM a great looking eCover on it!
The eZine cover I use at
http://www.CrashCourseMarketing.com was
built from scratch in Macromedia Fireworks 3. And it was a lengthy,
miserable process. Oh I loved doing it! But it took so long to get
everything "just right".
The software itself was a few hundred dollars and I purchased it mainly
to do custom graphics for different web sites. And to create eBook and
software covers. At the time others were charging well over $100 per
image! So I took the plunge and bought the software.
Now I had a learning curve to go through. Reference books to read. It
sucked!
But now! Now there is a number of solid programs to create your
eBook/software covers. Free and some very reasonably priced!
If you're going to build a mini-site, sell a product or service, you absolutely
need to look at these!
Going for free right now:
http://www.CrashCourseMarketing.com/graphics.html - A nice web
based program. Great for beginners. Create covers within a few minutes
and save them
to your hard drive.
http://www.CrashCourseMarketing.com/boxmaker.html - A FREE
downloadable user friendly program you run right from your desktop.
Again it will create very passable covers with a few minutes once you
get used to it!
Both are GREAT ways to begin a web site without costly expenses
having others create a cover for you.
The next step up...
http://www.CrashCourseMarketing.com/ebookbox.html - This program is
FILLED with FRESH new designs and images! I cannot think of a better
use for $59.95. With it you could create covers for a fee for others! Great
product!
And then there is...
http://www.CrashCourseMarketing.com/egen.html - State of the Art.
Cadillac. Armand Morin has absolutely outdone himself with the product
and the bonuses which go along with this cover creator! 'Nuff said.
At $97, a bit pricey for many at this point in their marketing careers.
But Christmas is coming!
There you have it. Two free cover creating programs and two others
which will cost a few bucks. One mid priced but definitely a winner.
The other higher priced but has all the bells and whistles!
Your choice!
Success and Regards... Mike
