Suite J - This Is Where Jay Lives

Get A Free Ebook Cover Design

Tue, Sep 9, 2008

Uncategorized

Here’s the deal guys. There’s 5 days until another Sunday Morning Sacrifice, and I’m bored of giving away coffee money (and to be honest, less caffiene is affecting my work productivity).

In addition to that, I want to show you that I’m also willing to sacrifice my time and energy to keep you guys around. So, this week is going to be a time-senstive sacrifice with my design time on the line. Show up this Sunday morning @ 7:37am PST and you can win a free ebook cover or free software box design (like the one to the left)!  There’s going to be not 1, not 2, but THREE winners!  Check below for more details and also why I chose this as a sacrifice this week.  Remember though, you HAVE to be here at 7:37am PST!

How I Decided To Give Away A Free Ebook Cover Design

Although I’ve used PLR, MRR ebooks, software, etc., on a very minimal level, they haven’t really been a part of my arsenal, as I was always promoting others. I have been recently enlightened, and started working on some new stuff that will require ebook cover designs. Now, as you might have gathered already, I like to do a lot of tasks myself. In this case, I needed to learn to create ebook and software box designs in Photoshop.

I was planning to write out a tutorial for you guys that would show you how to do cool ebook designs yourself for free. There’s action scripts and software out there, but I haven’t found anything that that would help a newbie produce a “pro” looking design for free. I still plan on working on that for you though! Hopefully I can come up with something that is both free, and newbie-friendly.

I need to get better at this quick for my own business purposes. So, I thought what better way to hone my craft than to produce a few designs for you guys!?

The software box above is the first one ever that I have created. I’m working on an ebook now, but I can’t it wasn’t finished and i just wanted to get the post up. I’m pretty confident that I can produce a decent ebook for you if you don’t want a “software box” design like the one in this post. Plus, it’s free right? So you can’t lose really. :)

So, if you think the design above looks decent (remember it’s my first attempt!), then be here at 7:37am PST on Sunday for a chance to win a design for your own eBook, newsletter, or “suite” box design. ;)

All I can tell you about the contest right now is that the winner will have to be a subscriber. So, if you’re not subcribed yet, do so now via RSS or via email, because you will want to save time on Sunday morning when you get here for a better chance to win.

Cheers guys!

Jay
