What makes me qualified to teach you?
My name is Phil, and I've written 3 Kindle books that reached the top of Amazon's Best Seller Lists. I design the covers for all of my own books. Plus, I'm the creator of some of the world's most popular online courses - with over 150,000 students and thousands of 5-star reviews like these ones from this course:
Straight and to the point. Phil explains the content well. He also shows you examples of good ebook covers, and bad ones. Amy had some amazing content as well, that really made me start thinking about different titles, and how I buy content on Amazon. - Frank Ward

What's this course all about?
If you have ever thought about writing an eBook or have already written one, you know having a killer eBook cover is very important. eBook covers make or break the life of an eBook. Unfortunately, the adage don't judge a book by its cover doesn't work online. 
Buyers browsing through the Amazon Kindle, Apple iBook, or Google Play stores first and foremost judge a book by its cover.
Your eBook cover has to stand out from the hundreds of other books online. This takes a lot of skill and knowledge of not only design but marketing. 
In this course, you'll learn how to make a cover that stands out, gets more clicks, and more sales.
Learn from two great instructors! I teach thousands of students online who love my courses. Just check out all the reviews to my other courses. I have brought in another instructor from the UK to co-teach this course.
Amy from the UK is a professional graphic designer with a knack for teaching online. She'll take us through some basic graphic design theory, teach eBook cover research and theory, and give us her top 10 tips on creating an awesome eBook cover.
This course will have demonstrations and follow-along tutorials so you can easily learn how to make an eBook in Photoshop.
Follow along with me as I create my own eBook cover for my eBook Diary of a Film Student.
