Find An Ebook Cover Designer For Less Than $10
As internet marketers all of us at one point are going to be on the search for a great ebook cover designer at least once .
Whether it is for a paid product, or a free giveaway for building your email list. Whatever the case it’s a sure bet that you want to find the best ebook cover designer – without the expert price tag!
While a lot of people are scared of accepting low quotes for fear of inferior quality, I accept them on the basis of the background and previous results – and that is why I am able to outsource work at a much lower rate than most people believe.
Why Pay $50 Or $100 For An Ebook Cover Designer?
Now I am all for making sure that I get the best result, because I believe that excellence is an important trait to have in any form of business. But I am very much opposed to the thinking of
‘If it is expensive, it is good. And if it is cheap, then obviously it must be of lower quality.’
It is all about finding great quality for the very best price ebook cover designer (in this case) – and it’s all thanks to GEO Arbitrage.
How You Can Get An Ebook Cover Designer For $10 Or Less!
You are going to learn quickly that there is only once place that I go when I am looking at outsourcing jobs overseas.
oDesk is one of the biggest outsourcing marketplaces, with over 500,000 people ready to work. And with such a wide range of services available to me – and the prices that I am able to get these services for (plus great quality) – I don’t see a need to try anywhere else!
Check Their Feedback And Portfolio
Before accepting a job bid and hiring an ebook cover designer, make sure that you do your research on each applicant. This is a really simple two step process that will save you a lot of problems in the long term.
Wait a day or two after posting your job, and then go through each applicant one by one and don’t even look at their bid price.
What I want you to do, is first look at their portfolio. If they say they are a graphics designer, then expect to seem quality graphics work in their portfolio.
One thing that I do with each job that I post is ask for them to include samples of their work in their cover letter. This shows firstly that they have read your post, and secondly it gives you a great starting point to examining their skill level.
If you are happy with their quality of work, then the next thing you will want to check is the feedback they have received from previous employers. This can save a lot of heartache, because it let’s you know their communication skills and the qualities that each employer liked and disliked from the designer.
Can I Really Get An Ebook Cover Designer For Less That $10?
I know that a lot of you may be doubting that you can hire a quality ebook cover design for less than $10, so I decided to post a job on oDesk yesterday for an ebook cover designer with a price of $10 for my upcoming GEO Arbitrage ebook.
Already I have received about half a dozen applicants and a couple of them look quite promising. I will keep you updated with the development.



Although I doubt I will ever produce an eBook of my own I can safely say that just because you pay a lot for a given item does not mean it is better than something that costs a lot less. Most of the time you’re just paying for the brand and also a lot of the time it comes out of the same factory and the cheaper brands.
In regards to eBook covers, as long as you’re able to see a portfolio of past works you should have a pretty good idea of what to expect. The hardest thing is conveying what you want so you get what you’ve asked for. This is where you need to have a good dialogue with the designer.

Communication is especially important when working with people where English may not be their first language.
I personally use a lot of visuals when communicating. My emails to them include a lot of linked examples when it comes to design work – because then I can describe what I want in a way that they can understand.

Funny I found this particular post as I’m having an ebook cover designed as I type this. Odesk is great for this type of thing.
