You Don’t Need to Be a Graphic Designer to Sell eBooks

One thing that holds a lot of people back is the curse of perfectionism, especially when it comes to creating and selling ebooks.

They think you need all kinds of elaborate graphics, the world’s greatest cover, and everything else needs to be spotless.

Well, I’m here to tell you none of that matters all that much.

I’ll give you two examples:

The first book is Gorilla Mindset and at least the first edition, the one I own, has multiple obvious typos printed right on the pages.

And yet… it sold over 100,000 copies.

To be fair, the marketing of the book was stellar, and despite the typos, the content still helps me to this day.

Another, much smaller scale example is my own ebook How To Write Emails That Sell.

There are no typos but it’s a very basic looking PDF with a simple eCover I whipped up in Canva in about 10 minutes, and it’s only 31 pages long.

It sold 50 copies from my own small audience (with no marketing boost on Amazon), and it even helped me land email copywriting clients when I was doing that back then.

And the coolest part is since it was completely self published and self hosted, my profit…
