Best Budget Fiverr Gigs for Designing Stunning Book Covers ($20 or less)
About this video
Sean walks through budget Fiverr gigs he personally uses for book covers, noting that he normally recommends 99designs for higher budgets but that Fiverr is a good low-cost way to start, and that browsing sellers’ samples can also surface keyword ideas — though he avoids showing his own ordered covers so others do not steal his keywords. For low-content books he shows a gig with a $15 basic package for a professional front-and-back cover, a gig starting at $5 for a basic ebook cover with three concepts for $15 and five covers for $25, and another starting at $5 for a print-ready custom cover with five custom covers for $25 and ten for $50 at premium. A pricier seller charges $30 basic for one cover design plus one book interior (excluding coloring and activity books), $60 for two covers and two interiors, and $150 for five of each. For high-content fiction and non-fiction he recommends German Creative, a long-standing go-to designer for publishers he knows who had 209 orders in queue, charging $10 for an ebook cover and $20 for a paperback cover with unlimited revisions, and Pixel Studio, a top-rated seller charging $20 for ebook, $40 for print, and $60 for ebook, print and audio together. His conclusion is that a strong book cover does not have to be expensive.
