Create Your Own Stunning 3D eBook Cover Art!
If you're interested in ebooks ("electronic books") and ebook compilers (software for creating eBooks), you're probably already familiar with the idea of virtual 3D cover art.
You've probably even seen some cool (and some not so cool) cover graphics.
...But if you want to create your own - professional quality - 3D-style cover art - it ain't so easy...
So you want a Cover?
You know just how useful having a virtual cover would be:
- You can place them on the intro page of your eBook
- You can use them on your web site
- You can use them in your advertising and marketing materials
You want a cover.
You need a cover.
What you going to do?
- You could pay a graphic designer, which could cost you $100+. Ouch! Got more than one eBook that you need covers for? That could be a $100+ each. Double Ouch!
- You could struggle with templates or trying to draw in perspective in programs that just ain't designed for the job. If you're a graphics-klutz like me, after a few days effort... you end-up with a botched cover which just doesn't look quite right.
A Better Way To Create Cover Art!
CoverFactory Version 2 is an Award Winning Windows program that allows anybody - even graphics-klutz's like me - to create beautiful 3D-style Cover art in minutes.
- It's simple and easy-to-use.
- You lay out each of the sides of the book or box (etc.) in 2D, and it takes ALL the hassle away of turning that into a beautiful 3D-style image.
- It walks you through all the main steps of creating your new Cover, using an easy-to-follow wizard.
- Allows you to add shadows, reflections, special effects, and much more...
- It comes with full instructions explaining all the program's features.

Your Internet Publishing Solution!
If you are looking for a secure way to sell your publication or information package on the Internet... If you are looking for a packaging method that will yield professional, state-of-the-art results in a user-friendly fashion... If you are ready to take control of your Internet business in a way not previously possible... Then you are ready to enter the new age of information packaging with eBook Pro Secure Publishing Software!
eBook Pro is not only a superior (and user-friendly) software for packaging information... It also gives you far more security and control than other programs or packaging options. To check out a conclusive discussion of the other options available, click here.
With eBook Pro, your eBooks are easy to produce, they're cost-effective, and they have the potential to generate insane amounts of profit with relatively little effort on your part! Here's why:
Benefit #1 -- eBooks are Easy To Produce!
If you can convert your publication into HTML (and trust me, any publication can be!), you can package it using the eBook Pro software. eBook Pro simply takes the HTML you give it and compiles it into a single, self-contained file, ready for distribution. It's just that simple!
Benefit #2 -- There are almost No Costs involved in publishing an eBook!
Once you've purchased the eBook Pro software, that's it! Creating unlimited numbers of eBooks will cost you absolutely nothing and you will not need to worry about paying for storage space! In fact, we've personally sold over 6,500 copies of one eBook, without having to print a single copy. You'll see nothing but pure profit... and who could complain about that?!?!
Benefit #3 -- Delivery is immediate and it doesn't cost you a penny!
Forget about those shipping and handling charges which will always either deter your potential customers or eat away at your profit margin! Forget about taking the time or expense to ship and then track a customer's order (and deal with lost shipments).
Your customers can simply download your eBook from the Internet and receive their purchase immediately without any extra costs to them OR you! Did you know that this kind of instant gratification can increase the number of sales you make by up to 30%? That's up to 30% more cash in your pocket!
Benefit #4 -- Automation makes your business Hands-Free!
For those of you who are familiar with my techniques, I'm sure you've heard me say this before: Automation is one of the keys to success on the Internet! eBook Pro gives you the freedom to automate the sale of your product, with the win-win combination of no-cost mass production and free, instantaneous delivery!
You can set up your order form and e-commerce system to automatically e-mail the eBook and a unique username and password to your customers just moments after they order. You do nothing but look at your bank account to see how much money you've made!
Benefit #5 -- eBooks are Easy To Use!
Navigation through the eBook is a snap because it looks like you are using a scaled down version of a web browser. As a result, it's a breeze to use for anyone who has ever used the Internet because the customer is essentially surfing through your publication! Features such as "Back," "Forward," and "Search" are available to make viewing the eBook extremely straightforward.
Benefit #6 -- Produce a top-quality, professional book or presentation at Very Little Cost!
In the past, only the IBMs and Microsofts of the world could afford the kind of technology that it took to design this kind of presentation. NOW, however, you can do it at almost NO COST! The eBook Pro software provides the kind of versatility that will allow you to be as creative as you like.
When you claim your own copy of eBook Pro, you'll be instantly sent everything you need to generate an unlimited number of eBooks! You will receive:
- The patented eBook Pro Secure Publishing Software that allows you to build an unlimited number of eBooks as often as you need right on your own computer!
- Access to the eBook Pro Administration servers through this same program. You can take it anywhere and, as long as you have Internet access and a computer to run the software on, you will have access to manage your eBook accounts (you can create, deactivate, view information on accounts, etc).
- 1,000 (5 year) eBook Pro registration codes! Each copy of the eBook Pro software comes with 1,000 (5 year) codes, so that you can begin selling your product immediately! Once you have sold the first 1,000 registrations, you can quickly and easily order extras from us.
- "How To Produce Knockout Information Products -- Even If You're Not A Writer!" As I mentioned, this report will show you how to pick a hot selling topic and develop your own in-demand information product in less than 4 weeks.
