But what attracts you to the magazine stand at the supermarket or to a particular book at the bookstore.
THE COVER!
Why is having an ebook cover design important?
A book or software that is delivered digitally on the internet does not come in a printed hard copy format or in a box. Many potential customers will have difficulty picturing what they will be getting when they buy your product without a detailed description or graphic representation.
A high quality ebook cover design will help your customer picture what they are considering buying. This graphic representation of your product has proven time and time again to increase sales and increase the overall professional image of your website.
Ask yourself: Would you be more inclined to buy a product from a sales page with just plain text, or a sales page that had a professional colorful ebook cover design? A high quality ebook cover design gives the product you are selling a sense of value and creates a good impression with your potential customers.
Actual case study about displaying book covers
According to the Wall Street Journal, the large book store chain Borders tested merchandising more books with the covers of the books facing-out and sales increased 9%.
The point of this is strategy is simple and obvious; a book cover rather than a bookend, and an ebook cover design rather than plain text are much more eye-catching and appealing to potential customers.

"Hi Steve,
just a quick note to thank you for the new videos,- they're great.
They're really easy to understand and you make it easy to know what tools to download (Free which is great) and then with no-fluff get straight to the detail in easy to follow instructions.
Now I can create great looking ebook covers quickly for free whereas before I was paying $20+ for each one.
Good job Steve,.. and thanks again!
Cheers,
Russell Hall"

Russell made these for his clients. I'm not sure if he is in the Ebook Cover design business now or what.
But by just watching these videos and using the templates and graphics he has seriously helped his business.
