Don't just go with the one you like best. Test the covers in your market to see which book cover design <em>your readers <\/em>prefer. Ideally, you will gather both qualitative data (e.g., poll your audience to see which option they prefer) and quantitative data (e.g., split A\/B test to see which design gets more clicks). There are several ways you can do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pickfu\">PickFu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I highly recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/kindlepreneur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">PickFu<\/a> to split test your covers and see which one people like better. This helps you get honest feedback from a large group of anonymous people. Using PickFu&nbsp;can drastically boost your confidence to make your final cover design decision. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickfu.com\/kindlepreneur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">my PickFu link<\/a> for<strong> 20% off<\/strong> your first poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ask-your-fans\">Ask&nbsp;Your Fans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have a fanbase, you can run a poll on your blog, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KindlePreneur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook group page<\/a>, or wherever you connect with your audience. This is great data because it's feedback from your best customers. This is not-so-great if you\u2019re still working on building your tribe and don't have many fans to ask yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"sw-tweet-clear\"><\/div><a class=\"swp_CTT style1\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Figure+out+which+cover+your+readers+like+best%2C+not+the+one+you+like.+%23SellMoreBooks+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-software-designers-services\/\" data-link=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Figure+out+which+cover+your+readers+like+best%2C+not+the+one+you+like.+%23SellMoreBooks+%23BookMarketing&url=https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-software-designers-services\/\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"sw-click-to-tweet\"><span class=\"sw-ctt-text\">Figure out which cover your readers like best, not the one you like. #SellMoreBooks #BookMarketing<\/span><span class=\"sw-ctt-btn\">Click To Tweet<i class=\"sw swp_twitter_icon\"><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-facebook-campaign\">Facebook Campaign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Facebook, you can also run a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/business\/a\/campaign-structure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook campaign<\/a> to test your book cover designs.

Everything except the cover design should be identical to give you true data on the best design. See which link leads to better results to find the better book cover for your market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your book hasn't been released yet, you can send your subscribers to an opt-in page to be notified as soon as your book is released and see which cover does better. Or you can just ask readers to tell you which one they like better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(If you are still working on building your email list and want a provider that can easily perform A\/B tests, here\u2019s a review I wrote about three of the <a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/aweber-vs-mailchimp-vs-getresponse-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">top email providers<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-resource-library-for-making-your-book-cover\">A Resource Library for Making Your Book Cover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kindlepreneur.com\/book-cover-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Master Guide To Book Cover Design<\/a> &#8211; Kindleprenuer\u2019s ultimate guide for creating book covers, including the 5 steps you must follow to create a standout book cover.
