You ever wish you could be a fly on the wall when people create those amazing covers, graphics, logos that just make people ooohhh and ahhh? Well Don't we all, LOL.  Finding the right graphics can be a struggle. Not just creating something special but narrowing it down to which dope creation to make the face of your business.  Recently my good friend Virginia Johnson of Abundant VA Solutions (and really one of the best book coaches I know) asked me to share how I chose my book cover, so I hopped on FB Live in her group and shared all of the deets (and in my true repurpose style I made it into a podcast for you guys too)  I dig into: How chose my book cover and back book cover? What decisions did I have to consider and some I missed? What research did I do to decide how my cover would stand out on Amazon? How I knew I had the right cover? Why I used 99 designs for this project and didn't go with a design agency what the process was like working with 99 designers? Why you MUST get a professional book cover design, no matter who you use? And even the tools I used to get all 3d book templates and how I've got all of those dope 3d book images you've seen of MY SEO Workbook floating around This episode is packed with design Q&A and will definitely give you things to think about in your next design project
