Marketing Self Published Books with Book Brush

About this video

Dale reviews Book Brush, a graphic-design tool built specifically for self-published authors, which he calls far more focused than general tools like Canva or GIMP and an alternative to expensive designers or unreliable freelancers. He discloses that Book Brush gave him complimentary access but says he was not paid to make the video. Features he walks through include adding text with many fonts (Plus members can upload their own fonts for consistent branding), pre-made stamps such as retailer availability badges, many 3D book-cover templates, access to over a million background images or your own uploads, a private Facebook group and support, animated video creator ads designed to stop the scroll, and Instant Mockups that place a book into real-life scenes with models. The free tier allows three images a month with limited 3D templates plus stamps, fonts and images. Book Brush Plus adds unlimited images, all templates, custom font uploads, five video creator credits a month, priority support and unlimited Instant Mockups. He urges viewers to join Plus before August 31, 2019, when he says Instant Mockups would otherwise become an added paid extra, so early Plus members keep it for as long as they stay subscribed.
