Customer Testimonials

2005-01-08T20:18:00.000-08:00

Customer testimonials are a great way to gain new customers. It's also important for establishing credibility.

Here's a testimonial from one of my customers:

"I'm speechless. The graphics are fantastic. They have completely transformed my sales letter. My wife absolutely loves it - especially the bagel you put in for the letter 'O'. "Stop Cheating On Your Low Carb Diet!" is my first book. If I write another, I hope you're still in the business. I'm completely satisfied."

Sincerely,
Jim Stone

I like it a lot because it's short, straight-to-the-point, and most of all, it's personal. Adds a nice touch to any sales letter.

Today's Featured Ebook Cover

2004-12-11T05:53:00.000-08:00

This ebook cover was produced for Henrik Flensborg of www.growth-focus.com

Here's what Henrik has to say about it:

"Hi Hock,

This cover is spot on :-) It looks so cool - and you produced one that was so in tune with the book even without knowing anything about my own ideas for the cover. It's covers like these that turns simple PDF-files into real ebooks that people will want to download and read. And you did it faster than it would have taken me to find, order and install a graphics program - and even then I wouldn't have a clue about how to produce a quality cover."

Sincerely,
Henrik Flensborg

Just Released Software Box Cover Design

Fitness Book Cover

2004-10-09T08:47:00.000-07:00

This is a design which I did recently for one of my clients who wrote a book on diet and fitness.

I decided to go for a simple and clean look on a white background. I really like the way the apple graphic stands out but yet doesn't detract from the title of the book. That's an important design rule - any graphics on the cover should draw the reader's attention to the title of the book and not away from it.

Create Your Own Information Product Empire

2004-09-25T05:39:00.000-07:00

Information products or digital products can be extremely profitable. Think about it. There's no shipping costs, no printing costs. Once the product is created, you can sell it over and over again. All you have to do is to come up with a good marketing plan.

There are many ways to create information products. You can:

1. Research and write it yourself. Find a topic that is close to your heart and that you're passionate about. Think about your interests and expertise. What do your friends often come to you for?

2. Hire someone else to write it. There are ghostwriters you can hire to do all the writing for you. For example, check out Elance. Many info-marketers have used elance to come up with the content of their ebooks.

3. You can get public domain works and publish them. Or you can modify them and create a new work.

Anyway, if you want to read more about how to create information products FAST, be sure to take a look at this site. This guy has made a TON of money just from selling ebooks.

Create Your Own Covers?

2004-09-16T17:33:00.000-07:00

You may decide not to use a professional designer for your ebook covers. In that case, you have two options.

Number one - use free ebook cover templates that are out there and insert your own graphics using a program like Paint. The advantage is that, er... well... it's free. The disadvantage is that most of the free templates I've seen out there are of poor quality. See some examples here. Honestly, don't you want a cover representing your product to be something that you can be proud of?

Number two - you can purchase software that generates ebook covers automatically, e.g. Ecover Generator. This is a step up. But it will still set you back $97. And it's still not completely customizable.

The bottom line is if you need custom work done on your ebook cover, there's no better place to turn to than to hire a good designer.

Increase Your Newsletter Opt-In Rate

2004-09-14T19:41:00.000-07:00

One of the ways to increase your opt-in subscribers is by showing a visual of what your newsletter looks like. For instance, you can put up a graphic of your newsletter cover on your main site where you ask for opt-in subscribers.

Here's one I did for one of my clients:

People tend to remember images more than words. This can also serve to brand your site.

Use Special Reports to Promote Your Website

2004-08-31T17:25:00.000-07:00

One of my clients wanted to have a report cover designed for her site which sells candles. The title of the report is "Aromatherapy". This was the cover that I created for her.

The photo of the pink rose is from the rose bush which my wife planted in our back yard last year. This year it was full of beautiful blooms.

If you're interested in reading the report, you can go to the Pocono Gift Shop website and click on the "About Us" link. You'll learn about the 'yin' and 'yang' of colors and what different scents can affect your mood.

My Latest Project

2004-08-29T19:50:00.000-07:00

This project involved a design that was a bit different as you can see in the graphic below. The client wanted to have a "fan out" type of graphic with both books and a combination of books and audio.

Here's what I came up with:

This set of graphics can increase the perceived value of the products offered, as I mentioned in my last post. Whatever you can add to enhance your marketing message - USE IT!

Welcome to the Ebook Covers Blog

2004-08-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

I'm starting this blog to post ebook cover designs I have done for my clients. Most of my clients are in the online information publishing business (some call it infoproducts). Since downloadable ebooks and reports are virtual, it helps to have a graphic representation of the product.

This is where the ebook cover comes in. A well-designed ebook cover will help you in the following ways:

1. Increase the perceived value of your product
2. Product recognition

People who come to your site will remember what you have to offer if they remember the graphic representation of it. A good ebook cover will help you to boost your sales. A bad ebook cover may give the impression that you're not a professional. Your visitors will not trust you. Maybe you're just a fly-by-night operation.

So, if you're an infoproduct publisher, make sure you have a good ebook cover.
