I'm almost done editing my first erotica story for kindle (woo!) and I'm looking for a cover.
I'm a bit confused though. I've read advice to:
not use faces
no suggestion of nudity
and have a unique cover
But all I see on amazon are shirtless men, scantily clad women, and the same thing over and over. I want my book to stand out - even if that means the cover is "boring".
My first story is boss/employee genre, and I've been looking at free stock photo sites first with not a ton of luck. When I look at paid stock photo sites, the prices seem astronomical (to me at least). I can't seem to find a site that has good shots that you can download individually without paying like $20-30. Other than that, there's subscription.
Am I missing something here? I want my first book to be on a shoe string budget before I invest a ton of money (I'm a student) into a venture that I'm not sure about yet.
Thanks!
