How often do Authors use Designers?

[Gymjunkie]

Hello folks!

Hope you're doing well and enjoying summer! Got a question!

How often do you hire designers?

I'm thinking of launching a design service for authors where they can get 10 or 20 small designs (banners, soc. media images, headers, bookmarks, biz cards etc) for a monthly fee. So basically designer on retainer for small jobs that don't include book covers or websites.

Example of this kind of service is www.designpickle.com

Cheers,
GJ

Thank you! Didn't see it but it's basically that, just niched down. Design Possum is actually way more expensive than what I think or what Design Pickle..

But some authors mentioned they don't have enough volume needed for these so I'm interested in feedback from more authors.

Hey there... are you planning on designing the site yourself? Are you a programmer?

I do websites myself. I actually already launched that particular idea..

I'm confused, is your idea to do web design for authors, or graphic design for print and ebook covers?

Neither. It is about doing banners for Facebook Ads, Twitter ads, Instagram, website header etc. No big designs like full website or book cover.
