Is An Ebook Cover Creator Worth Buying?

I admit it. I’ve used free stuff from the Internet that is outstanding. A few examples include:

1. WordPress

2. Joomla

3. Some PSD scripts

But, for every free item, software, etc. I’ve used, 10 were worthless and wasted my time.

One arena where free did not work out for me is with eBook cover creators. I’ve tried many free eBook cover creators only to be extremely disappointed with the results.

Sure, they create a cover, but they look cheap. In fact, they don’t convert at all. I’m sure they hinder sales.

Please keep in mind that I haven’t used every free ebook cover creator available so there may be a free option out there that works great.

After many attempts to get a free lunch, I decided to buy an eBook cover creator. I’m delighted I did. It’s paid for itself already in new subscribers to my eBooks.

What I wanted in an eBook cover creator:

1. Very professional designs with textures, gradients, and an overall polished appearance that looks as if professionals designed the cover.

2. Easy and fast to use.

3. Built-in graphics that I could use. I did not want to have to pay for images and graphics in order to create a stylish cover.

4. 3D effect – I much prefer the 3D look with shadows.

5. Web-based – whenever I can, I look for software that is web-based where I log into an account and use the software online rather than install it on my computer.

Why use eBook cover images?

The number 1 reason to use an eBook cover creator is conversions. Images sell … but only if the images look good. Poor-quality images; a DIY look to them can actually hurt your sales and/or opt in rates.

Avoiding cheap and poor-quality images is worth spending money on excellent software that creates the right cover images for you.

I actually bought a few eBook cover creators until I found the one that I really like. Since using it, my subscriber rates for my free eBooks increased nicely. The best part is it’s extremely easy to use and produces polished, professional eBook cover creators in minutes.

Do not undermine the impact that an eBook cover image has on conversions. In fact, the effect could be good or bad. If you use a cheap looking image, you could hurt your conversions … and conversions are the name of the game.

If your current eBook cover creator isn’t satisfactory or you’re in the market for one, then rest easy, because there is an excellent option.

Discover the Ebook cover software I use. In fact while you’re looking to improve conversions, getting the right sales page template also helps.
