Hey Chris, this is an awesome post! I love your knowledge on book covers because even though I have canva, it can get daunting if you don’t think of yourself as a creative. The tips you outlined in here, like curating some Amazon covers that speak to you and using those as inspiration is a genius idea. Plus, I love this cool niche you created with the mini books. I’m thinking about making those as well. Thank you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)
What I've started doing is creating 5-10 of them, then choosing my 4 favorites and having my community and audience vote on them and provide feedback, it's been a great process so far.
That said, I have a "flagship" book I want to publish next year and that one I'll hire a professional for.
Yes I do 3, for me 4 proves too many for an audience. I also establish looks in all my series so I'm just updating colors text and maybe a picture or icon.
If I'm stuck I've even hired a professional to do the first, take the gist change it, and then make that the series template.

I actually sent 7 out to my community on the last one, then narrowed it to 4 for my audience before picking one that most didn't choose lol
I'm doing the same thing for my first series, published the first book last month and the second book for it is coming in August.
Thanks for the insight Chris. Title and subtitle are now in progress ✍🏻
If you need any help with your book let me know. Cant wait to see what you create!
Thanks Chris, I may well take you up on that offer 😊
