In this video, I walk you through my last successful 99Designs logo campaign. The campaign starts off slow but eventually picks up speed and gets going. Towards the end, I talk about the importance of calling out if you want an edit-able file. Otherwise, your designer may provide a file you can't edit.

★★★ In this review of 99Designs I share why I like it better than Fiverr for Logo Design.

Communication Brief I used with my designer (hat tip to Monday Morning Memo article).
.....................
I get it ______ is kind of abstract and the words don’t lend themselves to cool visuals. I’ve received some logos and some of them weren’t bad but that being said, I’m very open to the ridiculous. Attention grabbing visuals as long as they’re well done. I have a deep appreciation for the off-beat, over the top, and silly things - again, as long as they’re done well. If you have an absurd idea… even if it doesn't match the words __________, bring the madness.

A giant fire-breathing grizzly bear with a propeller beanie and a jet pack, clutching a train? Cool. A 19th century nature sketch of a proud fox with a vintage camera strapped on its head? Awesome. A squirrel with camera, riding a dog as it chases a cat? Nice.

I’m totally serious. The money is guaranteed in this contest. If we end up with a strategically safe logo for _________, thats fine. But I’m hoping for one that people see and think, that’s crazy, what the heck is __________?!” This is your chance to run with that crazy idea that always made you laugh but was too risky to ever use. Take that idea, stuff it with dynamite, wrap it in bacon, hurl it into the sun, then wrap the sun with more bacon.

If you've ever needed a good company logo (or, for that matter, ANY type of design work - whether it be for your website, book, podcast, packaging, clothing, merchandise, etc.), you probably know there of plenty of options to choose from on the internet.

Many of them can work just fine. I've used a handful of different designers from websites like Upwork and Fiverr, but when I look back at all the design projects I've hired for in the past decade, there is one place I've had the most success with - a website called 99designs.

99designs is a service that follows the contest model. You provide all the basic details of what you're looking for in your design (any names or words to be included, any colors you prefer, other examples you liked, etc.) and within hours of submitting your contest, you'll have dozens of designers from all over the world competing for your business - submitting TONS of different logo concepts for you to choose from.

In this video, I'll take you from start to finish through an ENTIRE design project, so you can get an idea of how the site works and what kind of results you'll get from it. I hope you find it helpful!

Get an incredible and professional-looking book cover designed for your nonfiction book (or fiction book or children's book) for just $279 with 99 Designs (and here for $20 off: talkable.com/x/NmZf3C).

This video shows you the exact steps and I also share my best tips and tricks that I've learned from using 99 Designs for my own book cover designs and for clients' books too.

Below I am mapping out the steps I cover in the video...

RESOURCES:
- Get $20 off your first design: talkable.com/x/NmZf3C
- Step by step directions in text form (also shown on the video): docs.google.com/document/d/1Rgrw8-hhpRc3sW3TYEgN8QP15EP_rnOAXbaWAVvEeUA/edit?usp=sharing

STEPS TO LAUNCH A COVER DESIGN CONTEST AND USE IT FOR PRE-LAUNCH BOOK MARKETING:

1. Go to 99 Designs, type in “book cover” in the top search bar area and click “get started." If you use this link, it will give you $20 your first design: talkable.com/x/NmZf3C

2. Then click “Get a design” after you read more about “how it works” if you want a good overview from them (scroll down to the bottom for some good FAQ info)

3. Then, I personally choose “Physical Book from $299” -- not “Both from $399” -- because I just use the front cover of the physical book design as the ebook cover. Click “continue.”

4. From there it will ask you lots of book details:
-- select visual images showing designs you like
-- pick colors you have in mind (TIP: avoid a white background because it blends with Amazon’s website)
-- describe book details
- your email
- language
- title & author name
- photo of author (usually used on back cover but you can do front -- up to you!)
- about the author (bio)
- genre of book
- book blurb or short description
- target audience of book
- paperback or hardback?
- what you want on the front cover
- what you want on the back cover
- what you want on the spine (you can’t have text on it if your book is under 100 pages, fyi)
- where you will be distributing the book
- styles you’d like designers to keep in mind
- description of what you are looking for (TIPS: 9”x6” is most common print dimensions with 0.125” bleed...I like big, easy-to-read fonts from small thumbnail view)
- anything designers should avoid? (I say ‘no white background’...no ‘serif’ fonts...no stockphotos of people in business suits)
- allow stock images in contest? (I say sure...sometimes it’s a small extra fee for you to purchase what they use, but you don’t have to buy the license until the end when they turn over the design)
- any files you can upload that are helpful for the designer?

All that info will be sent out for designers to then reference as they create.

You can get a full refund even after you start seeing initial designs coming through. So there is no risk…and I think you will be really happy with what you see come through.

5. For the payment…I usually do:
- Bronze for $299 (or $279 if you use my link to save $20)
- title the contest
- click on Promote your contest’s “show options” and click on Power Pack for $99 to get more designers working on it
- you can also click on “Guaranteed” if you are 1000% sure you will pick a winner and want more designs on it...I usually don’t but am getting more and more confident in 99 Designs so I would in future contests
- “standard 7 days” duration is what I usually leave it on, but you can pay a bit more to go faster

6. Once the contest is running, you will start getting great designs! Start sharing with your audience! (social media, email, etc.)
- Rate designs as they come in and give feedback
- Designers will tweak and resubmit constantly as you hone in on what you like!
- Use images of what people have done so far and create social media voting images...put ALL the photos you want voted on onto ONE image with “1, 2, 3” or “A, B, C” labels to make it super easy for your audience to vote (don’t upload a bunch of photos into Facebook, for example, and say, “Which do you like best?”...no one wants to click through them and try to describe which they like...it’s confusing and not easy. Make it easy to comment.
Canva.com

[Start here for $20 off your first design -- talkable.com/x/NmZf3C ].

This process is very fun and SHOULD be shared with your audience as you go to get them excited about the book even before it’s done and ready!

People love to vote and give feedback…and be a part of the journey.

It’s great for community engagement, legit feedback, and soft pre-marketing!

WHAT'S NEXT?
Tag me on social @LaptopLaura if you do a book cover design contest! I'll love to like, comment, and share it.

Join me behind-the-scenes of the original design competition company 99Designs with Australian CEO, Patrick Llewellyn. As of October 2014, 99designs has hosted more than 340,000 graphic design contests and paid out more than $85 million to its community of 905,000 designers around the world … and it all started in a little office in the inner-Melbourne working-class suburb of Collingwood.

You’ll be amazed at where the idea came from. It’s inspirational stuff.

In 2010 Patrick moved to San Francisco to open a U.S. office and oversee U.S. and international expansion. Shortly after being appointed CEO in January 2011, Llewellyn guided 99designs to a $35 million first-round capital investment led by Accel Partners (Facebook, Dropbox, Etsy). He has since launched 99designs’ European headquarters in Berlin as well as localised-language sites across Europe and Latin America, and has grown the company from a handful of staff to 106 in San Francisco, Melbourne, Berlin, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.

Over at 99Designs.com, small business owners can launch design competitions for all kinds of business touch points – from logos to book covers, online advertising to shop signage. Starting from just $99, you can reach out to designers from all over the world and then pick your favourite entry – it’s as easy as that!

And grab your free Power Pack upgrade worth $99 just for being a listener of this show.

In this interview, I get to the bottom of this incredible success story.

PLUS, I answer a listener question about the best ways of accessing podcasts, and I deliver a short but sweet Inspirational Quote of The Week.

It’s time to hit PLAY on Australia’s #1 marketing show!

MY TOP 3 LEARNINGS
This week’s top three learnings from my chat with Patrick:

1. Look for things in your business that get traction and create offers around them.

2. Put an emphasis on design. How is your logo, website, and signage looking, and how can you improve it?

3. Don’t be taunted by anything or anyone. You are capable!

May your marketing be the best marketing.
