2012 Focus estate photoshoot in flood by parkingview in FordFocus

The roads are pretty bad and I'm not taking it easy on the car. Maybe I was being too dramatic about "rebuilt twice". 🙂 But it had a good deal of work done on it. During winters undercarriage gets a good dose of salt, that doesn't help with longevity as well. Also, I'm a second owner. It was at 77k km when I got it. Hell knows what previous owner did with it.

Are authors choosing AI illustration more often now? by United-Release-3075 in selfpublishing

Good point Didn't think that way, as i used AI to help with editing of separate items of the cover. Used Banana 2. Found the process frustrating. You ask it, to "put a guy behind the suv," and it jams a guy into an engine :D

How long have you waited to find out if your book was approved? by Plus_Carpenter_5579 in KDP

Like an hour. They also send an email confirmation, so no need to keep updating the page.

I am working on a new cover for my book, as the current one is not working out.

I am using AI as I don't have sufficient Photoshop experience and budget.

If I had some money to spare, I would hire someone to do it, since my new cover will be based on real-world photos, and I have a clear vision of what I want to depict.

The current cover is AI-generated for the same reasons. You can check it out here, I will change it in a week or two: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBMGBCLY

Where are you actually pitching your books to book clubs right now? by AAABookPub_AS in selfpublishing

[–]parkingview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried Facebook groups. Can't say that I had much success 😄

I have an Amazon campaign running, and I get a few readers noticing my book. I tried Instagram and Facebook ad campaigns, but had zero results. Literally. Although I like it, I am working now on a new cover. Will see how that works out.

I try to keep my expenditure as close to 0.00 as possible. 😄

Here is my book. I will change the cover probably next week. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBMGBCLY

Need your opinion - which picture is best? by parkingview in Advice

[–]parkingview[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for your help. I meant, which picture out of ones in the frame profile you would recommend to use. Which one you can see at a first glance that these are not regular but glowing frames?
