The End Result

Now that we’ve built our opt-in e-book, we need an attractive cover that will encourage our visitors to download it in exchange for their name and email address.

Here’s what the cover that we are about to create will look like:

Although there’s an old saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” the fact is that it’s the only thing your visitors will see, so it had better be attractive!

There are probably ways you can do it for free, but I doubt that any of them will be as simple as the software I use, Pixel Studio FX.

I’ve had it for many years and was grandfathered in for a single payment, so it’s like a free resource for me, always available. I did upgrade to the professional version, which made all the covers available to me.

They’ve since moved to a monthly fee structure, starting at just $12 a month, so if you had a few book covers to do, I guess you could sign on, do them and then opt out, at a cost of just $12.
