Many ebook creators work so hard on making sure they've written a great ebook, focusing on offering the best information and the best resources - but then they let their efforts go to waste by advertising their ebook using a cheap or home-made ebook cover.
 
Any successful ebook marketer will tell you the importance of creating a great quality product. But your ebook needs to give your customers more than just the information they paid for - it should also over-deliver on the promises made to them on the sales page.

The biggest problem ebook marketers face is convincing people to buy a product they can't see. After all, an ebook or e-course or software package is an intangible item that customers can't hold in their hands or flip through to see what they're getting. It falls to the ebook marketer to display their product as professionally as possible in order to create the perception of value and realize a much higher sales conversion rate as a result.

Any wise ebook marketer will actively seek out a professional ebook cover maker to work with you on creating an ebook cover graphic that not only looks like a real book, but also increases customer confidence in your product.

Research has shown that sales figures for an ebook being sold using a free template ebook cover are much lower than sales for similar ebooks being marketed with a professional cover graphic created by an ebook cover maker.

When you're searching for an ebook cover creator to create your own graphics, it's important you have the opportunity to view the artist's portfolio so you have an idea of the quality of work you'll be receiving.

Whilst some ebook cover creators have the skill to create a unique cover to improve your business, you will soon discover that many of them use cheap ebook cover software to do the job.

Free ebook cover software and templates may be tempting to download, but their unprofessional appearance is unlikely to encourage people who know what's what to part with their hard earned cash. After all, you are in business to make money and therefore, value for money has to be high on your list of priorities.

When making a comparison of costs, you should bear in mind the quality of the product you will get as well as the expenditure for the graphics when using the services of a professional ebook cover maker.
 
The average cost seems to be around $40-50 US for the services of a high quality professional ebook cover maker, although there are certainly designers out there charging as much as $97 for exactly the same product.
By far, the best way to determine the level of service and end-quality of the product you'll receive is to browse through the testimonials the ebook cover maker has to offer. Testimonials are a sure way to verify the validity of any claims the designer is making and should give you confidence that you're dealing with a professional business person who only wants to offer you the best possible service.
