Whats A Good Platform To Design A Book?

There are many places you can find book cover designers. Let’s start with the cheapest for those of you on a tight budget and move to the more expensive options… Finding Cheap Cover Designers on Fiverr - Freelance Services Marketplace for The Lean Entrepreneur Fiverr is a website where folks offer services starting from $5, including book cover design services. You can find book cover designs on Fiverr from $5 up to $55. Now, most folks think that book cover designs from Fiverr are just bad because t’re cheap—but there are some fantastic cover designers on Fiverr. In fact, I would argue, some of the best cover designers work on Fiverr… Some designers on Fiverr have designed more than 10,000 book covers! That means there are folks there who have created more book covers in a few years than most professional designers create in an entire lifetime—and all that experience means t are able to pack in a ton of experience in a short amount of time. So, is it possible to find some great cover designs for cheap? Absolutely! (But it doesn’t always work out that way.) Here’s what you should know about getting cheap cover designs on Fiverr… Only Use Creative Commons Zero (CC0) Licensed Stock Photos The designer better be using ONLY free stock photos that are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. This means the pictures are completely free to be used for any legal purpose. If your cover designer uses photos that are NOT licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license, you may be in liable for legal trouble and penalties later on. Either ask your cover designer to provide proof t are using a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) licensed stock image, or pick the image(s) yourself on one of these sites and send it to your designer. You Can’t Communicate Outside of Fiverr When you hire a cover designer on Fiverr, you can’t call them up on Skype or the phone. You can’t exchange emails. The only way you can communicate is through Fiverr’s messaging system or the gig page after you purchase the cover design gig (all projects on Fiverr are called gigs). You Can Ask for Changes and Revisions, but T’re Not Guaranteed You can ask for as many changes and revisions as you want on Fiverr, but that doesn’t mean you will always get them. I have found most designers there to be very kind and hard-working and accepting of revision requests, but that’s not always the case. Most service providers on Fiverr are TERRIFIED of bad reviews so t will often offer you a refund or revision if you’re not 100% happy with their work. This is because a single 1-star review can dramatically reduce their sales and rankings on Fiverr (even more so than a bad review for your book on Amazon, largely because so many sellers are “gaming” the system by simply refunding every unhappy customer before t get a bad review). If you see a designer on Fiverr with 99% 5-star reviews it doesn’t mean t’re the best designer—it means t’re the best at offering refunds to folks who aren’t happy with their work. Expect to Pay More Than $5 Yes, you can get great cover designs for just $5 on Fiverr, but you should expect to pay more than that. Even if you just buy the basic gig package, you will often need to either a) find the stock photo(s) so the cover designer doesn’t have to, or b) hire several designers until you find a book cover design you love.
