5.1 Designing the Mini E-Book’s Cover

One important part of creating a mini E-Book is designing the mini E-Book's cover. This is one of the standard parts of creating a professional sales page that will actually have a high conversion rate.

You can begin designing the mini E-Book's cover through one of two methods: you can either contract a professional to work on designing the mini E-Book's cover with you or you can create it yourself using an image editor and some stock photos.

If you plan on designing the mini E-Book's cover by yourself, ideally you will want to use Photoshop or GIMP if you don't have Photoshop. GIMP is completely free to download and you can find it at http://www.cnet.com. Additionally, you will need to find some type of stock photos that you can use in the cover.

One excellent place to find images for free is http://www.stockxpert.com. Of course, it is important to read the licensing agreement to ensure that you do not use any of these images illegally.

The key to designing the mini E-Book's cover well is creating the right perspective. This is especially important when you create the binding on the mini E-Book. You will want to correct all angles so they fit the right perspective. You will also want to make sure that you select an image that is conducive to your theme.

Now, if you don't feel you have the skills to take on the task of designing the mini E-Book cover yourself, then you will want to hire a professional to do it for you.

Currently, there are a number of skilled professionals who do exactly this – design mini E-Book covers. One such professional is Brent Turner, who owns ECover Frog: http://www.ecoverfrog.com/portfolio.htm.

No matter the niche in which you are planning to launch your mini E-Book, it is crucial that you create a mini E-Book cover to boost your credibility and increase your conversion rate.
