Congrats on sales

try gimp, literally you can't afford not to do this. It won't take long to learn either. Otherwise looking at a cover that you see is selling and asking on fiver for something similar might work.
I debated for two days and priced my 2nd book which is 43 pages (12k i think) at .99 , it fell into oblivion (not the best cover and i suspect the price had something to do with it)
I reuploaded it with another cover and changed the blurb a bit. set it at 2.99. It went from 80k to 25k yesterday, and is holding 30k..the sucky part is that it has no look inside feature. People literally can't preview it unless they hit a bunch of buttons to download it to their pc or kindle. Hello Amazon, hello lack of control.
I've seen a price structure model from someone successful before, basically anything over 5k words = 2.99.
I upped my 25k words to 3.99 on Nook for testing yesterday, curious to see if there will be a change. I am too chicken to do it on amazon...yet.
Cheers and godspeed
