    I know ebooks are very popular, whether they be for sale or to give away, so I decided to create a tutorial on how to create an amazing cover that will do justice to your content.

    I would love for you to check it out (and digg and stumble if you are feeling generous )

    thats a cool tutorial you got there. So what about people who dont know photoshop? well its not a problem to me coz i know photoshop.
    But anyways, my friend doesnt know photoshop, uses Virtual cover Creator. I checked that program and it was just so easy to create ebook covers and even cd covers. Well its not a free software. You could try for free but all your images would have a somekind of a watermark.

    A good business! I think you will find clients. Do you provide all the kinds of e-book cover?

    thankyou!

    actually it was just a tutorial based on a project of my own. But if anyone is interested in an ebook cover design let me know and I should be able to help you.

    Pretty neat. I use the same script which most of the pros use, to make stuff similar to what you see in the bolded link in my sig.. that took about 5 minutes to make.

    Here is a software that I found for ebook covers:

    http://ecover.generatorsoftware.com/

    Mikes Marketing Tools also has some ebook cover tools:

    http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com

    I'm sure if you're adept with Photoshop, you won't have to buy any software, but some people would rather pay the money for software to avoid any hassle.
