Summary

Your author friends are lying to you about your book cover.

Well, not on purpose. They can’t help it.

When authors are trying to pick a book cover, they often ask their friends which cover they like best. But that strategy doesn’t work because your friends look too closely. They think about your feelings. They vote based on which cover has more votes.

But your cover isn’t for your friends.

It’s for strangers.

In this week’s episode, we unpack why beautiful covers, which are loved by your friends, fail to help your book sell. You’ll hear how one author made his losing ads profitable without rewriting a single word of his book.

In this week’s episode you’ll learn

  • What makes a cover “good”
  • How you can get accurate data on what will make readers click to buy
  • How much you’ll need to spend to get a cover that sells

If your ads aren’t working, it may be time to examine the elements of your cover. Listen in or read the blog version to find out how.
