How To Make A Free Ecover- Just Found This Cool Little Site

It is nice to be able to make an ecover, no matter who you are. If you are making your own product to sell, you need some good graphics. But you could also use an ecover and create a simple pdf guide to give away as a bonus. Good graphics can get a person’s attention, and now you don’t have to pay a lot for ecovers either.
The other day I stumbled across myecovermaker.com (not an affiliate link) while searching for something completely different. Good graphics are always nice though, so I took a peek around. It turns out to be a simple site for making your own ecovers- and the prices are reasonable and it is very easy to use. Before we go any further, here are a few quick covers I made to try it out:




There are four different free ecover types to choose from (notebook, binder, box, or a stack of books like the examples above). There are lots of other options too, but you have to pay for them. You can pay $3.95 to create an ecover of any of the types, or pay $9 a month to make as many ecovers as you want. Either way, it seems like a great deal.
Here is the catch though…this is not a “design” service, it is just a site for making your own covers. It will turn any image into a 3d ecover, but it won’t design the cover for you. There are some backgrounds, stock images, and fonts to play around with to make a basic cover, but if you are making a minisite to sell something you should pay someone to make some really nice graphics.
But if you just want to make a quick ecover for a free bonus guide or something, this is a great option, especially if you just stick with the free ecover design of the stack of books (like the pictures above). If you are good with photoshop or paint.net (also free) then you could design a very nice cover for cheap.
But even if you don’t have any design skills, it shouldn’t be too hard to take some stock image (maybe even an image from your affiliate site) and add a simple title to it. I’m not a designer, but I don’t think these covers I made above look too shabby, and it only took a few minutes to make them all.
In conclusion, if you want to make an ecover without spending any money, then check out myecovermaker.com. I am not an affiliate or anything, I just thought it was a cool site and since some of the ecover design options are free, that it would help some of you. There is no registration necessary, and you can make a few free covers just for fun if you want.
I recommend making a short pdf report about your niche and include your affiliate links in it. Then create a simple ecover for it, and give away the free report on your websites. Give it a try, and good luck!
