Are you looking for ways to save time and money while making your own ecovers?  How would you like to make low budget high quality ecovers all by yourself?

Yes, you can outsource and ask a graphic designer to create beautiful covers and graphics.  I highly recommend this option for those who can afford to pay for each graphic that you need in the many areas of your business.

But many of us are on tight budgets and need to find solutions that offer low budget but high quality options.

This cool tool offers a solution to those who are on a tight budget.  Allow me to introduce you to this cool tool called, ECover Creator, to help you make your own ecovers.   AND, you don’t need Photoshop or any other photo editor either.

Here are some of their features:

• You can easily find the 3D cover for your product or service
• Adjust the width and height for your ECover
• Adjust the shadow, reflection and highlights for your cover
• Import custom graphics or choose from the color palette
• Create a transparent background or flip the box horizontally
• Easily export and save your ECover project to it’s own folder.

You don’t have to worry if it’s compatible with your graphics editor because,
as I mentioned, you don’t have to have Photoshop to make it work.

As long as your editor can import/export images then you can use ECover Creator
to make professional-looking ECovers!

ECover Creator Will Also Allow You To:

• Quickly and easily create 15 different eCover styles.
• You don’t have to worry about installing complex or expensive action scripts.
• You can import .psd, jpg, gif, bmp or .png images directly into the software.
• You can create cool-looking ECovers with just a few mouse clicks.
• Save valuable time and money.
• Make your website look more professional-looking.

Downsizing

While companies are downsizing, so are their laid off employees, especially us baby boomers.  We seem to be the group that is left to find our way and to seek solutions.

<===== The photo to your left is a storage unit of all the personal belongings that I have left.  As you can see,  I have very little left from the furnishing that were in my home.

When I rented my house, I decided that my possessions were holding me down and preventing me from moving forward.  I really wanted to build my business  to help other baby boomers who were looking for solutions.  In order to do that, I had to make some very difficult decisions, such as selling most of what I had to get what I want.

For the past week I have been staying with family members while I set up a temporary office in another location.  As hard as this is for me, I realize that many of us,  who have been affected by the economic downturn,  are not as fortunate and don’t have options.

I can only hope that we all come together and help each other in this journey of changing times.   It’s not about possessions as much as connections, our health, our attitudes and our drive to find a solution that will move us forward.

What are your thoughts on this?  I love comments and sharing so please pass this along if you think it will help others and please leave a comment in the section below.

Until next time, have a wonderful day,

Cindy
