If your an e-book author you need to have an e-book
cover to give your customers a visual image of your
product.
I’m showing you this because I just finished an ebook myself and I was first faced with the challenge of creating an ebook cover. The ebook I just completed explains in details how I turned Cynamix.net from a forum to a blog in February 2012 and made more than I’ve ever made on the forum in one month of starting the blog. I’m still pondering whether to sell the ebook or use it as a giveaway to my readers on this blog. I’m confused a little because I just tweeted about it and I started getting orders asking how much it would cost them. Well, I will make a decision soon.
I won’t dwell much on creating an ebook but if you have written the content of your ebook and you don’t know what to do next, you should just copy it into Microsoft Word if it’s not already there. Now convert from word format to PDF format. Most ebooks come in this format.
Now, let’s go to how and where you can create a cover for your ebook:
There are several ways by which you can create your ebook cover most notably Adobe Photoshop but this can be daunting to so many people. They just hate to hear the mention of Photoshop. Well, you have alternatives online and that’s what I will be writing about now.
The two online ebook cover tools that I found online are:
1. 3DPackage, and
2. MyEcoverMaker
They are both free to use, so how do you make use of them?
3DPackage:
3D package is a tool you can easily use to create 3D-box images online. I said it earlier that it’s free! Just upload pictures for cover and sides and then get 3d-box in the image format you want (JPG, GIF, PNG supported).
They have a gallery of created ecovers that you might want to check out before you start your own ebook cover. You might even get a clue to start with.

MyEcoverMaker:
This is a nifty online ebook cover software that you can also make use of.
I haven’t tried this one myself because I created my ebook with the first one but a quick search on the internet shows how useful this tool has been useful to people. I will lay my hands on it soon and update this post. If you also have the guts, go ahead and try it out. Let’s see how it works for you.
I hope this helps you!
