Reasons to Have a Great Book Cover
A great book cover instantly captures your readers’ attention. You only have a few seconds to make an impression before a reader will go on to the next book. When you have a great cover readers can’t help but stop and look at your cover.
Engages Emotions of Readers:
You want the reader to feel something, whether it’s anger, pleasure, hate, sympathy, despair, excitement or remorse. It’s like listening to a sad song, such as Adele’s “Someone Like You”. These kinds of songs make you feel nostalgic.
It’s a “Teaser” To Your Book:
This is an introduction to your book. Your book cover is the perfect place to tease your readers with what they should expect from reading your book.
Builds Confidence:
There are a few things that can sell a book quickly: a great cover and a popular author. Since you’re not a popular author yet, I say work on the book cover for now.
People find it hard to resist the charm of a great looking cover. It tells readers you’re serious about your book.
Boosts Sales:
Having a great book cover will have a postive impact on sales. If your book cover has a role in making sure people want to read your book they will buy more. When more copies are bought, it means a lot of revenue will be made to cover your costs and hopefully turn results in profits. Selling more books could mean better leverage for your next book, or business.
