In this video, I review 5 book cover designs I ordered through Fiverr.com from 5 completely different designers. These actually turned out quite good, especially the $50 one! I would definitely come back for more covers for my Kindle Direct Publishing business in the future.

Which cover did you like best? 🤔

50$ for sure

@michaeldanielson2602 3 года назад

#5 except the font is too gritty

@jeremyfee 3 года назад

I do really like the $25 one. The 3d cape pops. It's the one I would be most likely to pick up and purchase.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Interesting! It's always cool to see what other people think... Looking back at that cover, I definitely think it is a little better than what I originally thought

@LuziSantos 2 года назад

that one made me think it was about fashion (Devil wears Prada feelings to me)

@jianashantel 3 года назад

I agree, the last one was the best. It would grab my attention immediately

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Definitely!

@12thDecember 2 года назад

I like number 4. Not boring at all. It's crisp, elegant, and gets across the message of being disciplined quite well.

@PassiveIncomeHustle 3 года назад

I agree. The $50 one is the best. The attention to detail is amazing!...font selection, color choice and gradation, composition. Best by far!

Thank you!! All of the designers are very talented

@chetanartz3934 2 года назад

$50 cover is really amazing.

@Christolphi 3 года назад

I hate the idea of designers working for this cheap. Like those 5 dollar designers are clearly skilled and all of these work was worth vastly more money.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Well, then they can go on places like Upwork and raise their pricing or simply charge more on Fiverr

@vladimir.zlokazov 3 года назад

I think the 2nd is my favorite. Agree with your revisions though.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Thanks for the support! 2 is definitely a great cover

@Oniromanciee 3 года назад

It's a very nice idea you came up with! Thank you for this nice video!

@thebookishbryants 3 года назад

I know I am late here, but the $25 cover was easily my favorite. It looks more clean and professional than the rest. I loved the look of the cape. It looked like it had life. Scott.

@laurendaryani4893 3 года назад

As someone who's always wanted to embrace my artistic side and has a love for book covers myself, I'm really interested in going into freelance illustration and book design myself. I know it's Fiverr and so more on the informal side, but is this really the level of instruction that designers would get for a project from an author or publisher? Are designers ever expected to know more deeply about that book's subject matter (say, for when the book is not a well-known work of literature and so whose theme/plot is not already know ahead of time)?

@OmgThatsIncredible 2 года назад

Informal side?? You could absolutely go formal. There's people labeled as "Fiverr Pro" and some of them even ask for $600+ for making a cover.

@lindagutierrez6335 2 года назад

Thanks Dane. You helped me a lot with this video😀

@aliwilson7364 3 года назад

Interesting! I too thought the last was the best, however I do only really see a bird with a beak and the orange slashes. Which is fine, just I don’t see the brain part. Funny how we see things differently. Just thought I’d say so you know another viewpoint.

@drica86 3 года назад

These are all pretty good I must say

@sallyalter6003 3 года назад

Love all your videos Dane.

@PallaviChauhan91 3 года назад

The concept in the second one is very easy to understand in the first few seconds and looks better than the 50$ one in the small thumbnail. However, I would have only changed the fonts. Nice video!

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Thanks for the support Pallavi!!

@lindameggers1999 Год назад

changed my mind since seeing #5. Love it

@sarahcayer2817 2 года назад

The First one (orange and blue) is my favorite. It stands out and the $25 one was really good I would just take out the red stripe at the bottom.

@phellansudworth9332 3 года назад

Did anyone else jump straight onto number 5 to test out a cover 😅 awesome video thanks Dane, over delivering as usual !!!

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

haha 5 was my favourite by far!

@livinglifewithbry1109 Год назад

Dope video 🔥💯

@ahinds100 Год назад

My favourite cover is the $25 cover.

@laurazalea 3 года назад

Super fascinating video! Do you outsource covers for low content books or make them yourself? And for pricing, did they tell you their price, or did you make multiple job postings with different price offers?

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Thanks Laura! I used Fiverr.com for these covers so I was able to see the price before buying their gigs. For Low Content Books, I always outsource my covers so they strand out from competition since a lot of people don't outsource them.

@harmonfinancialcoaching1440 3 года назад

IMO #4 looks like a best seller. 🏆😃

@nuunasan 3 года назад

What was more interesting was hearing your opinion on each cover

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

Awesome to hear that!

@lilydelacour 2 года назад

Really like the video idea. And I agree the most expensive one was also by far the best. The first one looked kinda old as if it was created in the 90s or early 2000s. :D

@prodget5562 3 года назад

Great video It's interesting to be in your head Keep making videos like this one You can make a video where you search for keywords so that we can see how you search. Cover number 5 is the best for me.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

@lindameggers1999 Год назад

@lillyti1896 9 месяцев назад

Very interesting video as I am currently looking for designers. But please, you definitely need to learn to speak much more slowly and to articulate. Think of all the non-English speaking native people. It is very difficult (and exhausting) to watch a whole video at such speed. You would increase your audience just with this little effort. Thanks

@AndrewHalliwell 3 года назад

Well, he does admit to not being a writer. The fact he's so blatant about it, admitting he pays ghost writers and cover designers. He's not got a creative bone in his body. Just a parasite,in fact.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

@@AndrewHalliwell A parasite! That's a new one. Thanks for the kind words Andrew.

@AndrewHalliwell 3 года назад

@@DaneMcBeth well, as a writer, that's how you appear to me... It you weren't just out to make money for yourself and you are as successful at playing Amazon as you claim, you could help them rather than exploit. Bet most of those ghost writers have work of their own they'd love to see published. You could become the ebook equivalent of a literary agent and just charge them a percentage to get those stories as many eyes as possible.

@DaneMcBeth 3 года назад

hmm, well there are actual people who ghostwrite as a career choice. I understand where you’re coming from though... However, I’m not exploiting them by any means. We work together on each book as a collaborative effort along with contracts and everything. Sorry you feel that way. Not sure it’s worthy of calling me a parasite and saying I don’t have a creative bone in my body though, it’s just business, sorry to say.
