I want to talk to you today about five tips for cover design. First, though, my recommendation is that you get a professional cover designer to create your cover. Yes, you can create your own cover designs and Amazon provides a cover design option when you're uploading your book. It does work for some people. It doesn't work for other people. When you're starting out, you want to put your best foot forward. A good cover can literally make the difference between your book succeeding and not succeeding. Your cover is the first introduction people have to your book. I believe it's four or five seconds that people take to decide whether they are going to look at more details of your book, so your cover is extremely important.
