This is considered a complete project. You can charge between $90 to $150 for a project.

Who is going to be your customer?

How to get started?

Of course, as a new player, you'll have to compete with other product cover designers. Here are some powerful tips you can get started fast:

How to save time and earn more.

The easiest and fastest way to create product covers is by using Photoshop Actions. Some called them Action Scripts. Actions are some sort of plug-ins that automate the cover design process.

Basically, here's how they work:

- Run Adobe Photoshop

- Load the Actions into Photoshop

- Click on a button to run the Action

- Edit the template with relevant images & text to suit your need

- Click on another button, and your flat cover will be transformed into 3D cover, automatically.

Here's a site where you can find Photoshop Actions for ebook cover & software box cover: http://www.virtualcovergenerator.com
