Hi there Creatorpreneurs!

One of the most common questions I get from entrepreneurs who work at home is “how can I make my own ebook cover?“

Creating your own eBook Cover AND Mockup Designs

In this article, I’m going to go over the two main ways:

• Do it yourself with ebook cover templates:

• Or, you can hire a designer from a marketplace like Fiverr.com

I have some insider tips that are going to help you create a professional looking ebook cover in just 3 simple steps. Then I’ll show you 5 ways to use your designs for marketing to get more traffic, more clicks and hopefully, more sales.

How much do graphic designers charge for book covers?

First, let’s figure out if you should hire somebody to create your ebook cover, or do it yourself.

Most designers charge between $20 and $50 for an ebook cover design. Typically, if you find designers on Fiverr, for example, they’re most likely using the very tool you’ll see below to make the same eye-catching book cover images you can create yourself!

Some providers DO offer quality work however, and they’ll offer an extra package or two that may include the cover design, the 3D mockup of your ebook, and maybe a few additional items like a background image or a text overlay.

How about doing it yourself? Is it easy? is it time consuming?

It’s super easy when you use the eCover and Mockup set for The Graphics Creator. You’ll start off with a ton of eye catching software box mockups and ebook cover templates. You can tweak the ebook cover title and modify or combine them any way you want!

Edit them in a few minutes; Double click on the text to change it. Add different images from the stock photos library, drag and drop additional elements onto the canvas like background images and add headlines … for free! No extra charges.
