About a week ago I posted a survey that ask what you liked the most. As promised, I said I would post the results here.
Here’s another question that I would really like to know.
-
Find out what’s new after the release of Cover Action Pro 2.0.
Here’s a recap from the video and the last week…
-
Almost 14 months later we are finally here. We’ve came a long way but it’s been worth it and I’m happy to hold this white DVD in my hands today.
Please take your time when ordering. It seems everyone is in a ‘big hurry’ to buy it… but this can result in more typos and errors. I’m not able to control the traffic to the website so please be patient if it slows down. I made the order button small so it takes you more time to find it.
The Waiting list has out numbered the quantity of copies we have available by long shot and we’re already planning a 2nd reprint of the software. This has turned out much bigger then we expected.
We are offering a 4th secret DVD as a FREE gift TODAY to the first 100 people that order tomorrow. This secret DVD has almost 2 gigabytes of more “stuff” on it that works with CAP. *Highly recommended*
Here’s a map that was generated from the email service I use. It displays the exact location of where the subscribers are on the CAP 2.0 Notification list. You might even find yourself on the map!
Please post your questions and comments on this post up until launch. Click on the “Reply with Comment” link below.
Thanks and good luck!

The Cover Action Pro Affiliate Program was announced today and filling up quickly. Serious inquiries only please.
Apply here.
Thanks! - Mark
We are now counting down 7 days until Cover Action Pro 2.0 launches off. Most of you know that my DVD products sell out very quickly so Aug 25th (Launch Day) is a good time to at least get your order queued for shipping.
On July 21st we produced 200 pre-orders in less then an hour, then shut the order page down. If the pre-ordering was that intense I can only imagine what it will be like on Aug 25th.
Think about it. Not too many people are willing to order something and then wait 30 days to receive it. On August 25th I will be making CAP 2 available to everyone, everywhere, even our affiliates. I will need to sell every last box if I have to.
We have 100 secret bonus DVDs left. This DVD will be included as a gift with the first 100 orders that come through on August 25th. With that said, it’s time to mark your calender for the one day you will not want to miss.
The big BANG will hit…
***Aug 25th at 1pm PST/PDT***
Please make sure you have the correct time if you are International. It’s really easy to convert the time at TimeandDate.com Choose “USA - Nevada” for my location, then enter the location where you live. Enter Aug 25th, 1pm PST/PDT for the date.
I will send an email when the Affiliate system is up and running. Sorry for the delay guys!
Here are some behind the scene photos.

Today at approximately 1:54pm Cover Action Pro 2.0 Pre-Ordering was Sold Out. The Pre-Order gave people a chance to receive Free Shipping and a chance to win the 4th Secret Bonus DVD. There was only 200 orders offered in this Pre-Order and it was maxed out in a little under an hour. Those who Pre-Ordered will receive priority handling with their package
Cover Action Pro 2.0 ships on August 25th. But not to worry, there is still a final chance to receive the 4th Secret Bonus DVD on this day when we officially launch the product. As promised we have a total of 300 Secret DVDs and the remaining 100 will be given away on August 25th.
Congratulations to those that won the 4th Secret Bonus DVD today and that placed their order. Be sure to stick around for more updates, news and videos.
Cheers
Mark
Cover Action Pro 2.0 Standard $297
Cover Gallery Book
This is a 120 page full color book that shows each completed cover on a separate page with a model number. This works as a companion to all the actions in both Standard and Extreme versions. Use the book to find a cover you like for your product, then locate the model number in your actions palette in Photoshop. Since there are over 100 scripts in CAP 2.0 the book helps you find and locate actions more easier. I could say the Cover Gallery book is really required because it cuts down on time and speeds up work flow.
Actions DVD
This contains over 125 Action scripts in 10 different categories. Everything you need to get up and running for making single product shots covers. You’ll also find Cover Action Pro 1.0 for users still working with the older action scripts. Installation videos for both Mac and Windows is included. PSD files are also included.
Actions included
Video Training DVD
Over 3 gigabytes of instructional videos. If you enjoy the Photoshop videos on this blog, then you’ll love this DVD. I’ve put together over 2 hours of training on the most frequently asked Cover tips along with a whole section on working with templates and getting the most of of these scripts. You’ll also find a 1 hour video that shows you exactly how to create a basic sales page in Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. Everything from starting with the headline, inserting covers and uploading all the content to your website. All project files are included.
Cover Action Pro 2.0 EXTREME $397
You get everything that comes with the Standard version with the additional Bundles & Courses DVD.
The bundles and courses Action scripts allow you to create multiple product cover presentations. For example, if you are offering a multi CD or DVD set product, these scripts will create them for you. Create BIG Home Study Courses in just minutes that would normally take you hours to make in Photoshop. These are probably the most highly requested Action script in Internet Marketing and they were almost never created despite the time and effort. But I am proud to say we are now including it with CAP 2.0 for just a $97 upgrade.
The Bundles & Courses DVD is not sold separately.
We are having a Pre-Order on July 21st at 1pm PDT. 200 copies of Cover Action Pro 2.0 will be sold with a Secret Bonus DVD. The contents on this DVD will not be disclosed. Over 100 Hours and a big investment has went into this 4th Secret DVD, it’s absolutely stunning. I will be including it with the first 200 Pre-Orders as a FREE gift.
To receive the Secret DVD and get Priority shipping, please make sure to mark your calender for July 21st at 1pm PDT. For more details please read the Pre-Order Announcement.
To see ALL the Actions mentioned here, please watch this video.
Thanks

Here’s a map that was generated from the email service I use. It displays the exact location of where the subscribers are on the CAP 2.0 Notification list. You might even find yourself on the map!
I use a service called Aweber for the CAP 2 pre-notification list. One of the best services I use. They create a map for you of all your subscribers world wide. It’s pretty cool. I blurred out some emails for peoples privacy.

A: Shipping is worldwide.

Q: What about Customs charges and Taxes for International Orders?
A: There’s several ways around this. All International packages are mailed as a Sample or Gift. We can also email you the invoice instead of placing it in the package. We do this with our other products and most overseas clients are very happy with it.
Q: What if an item is missing out of my box after Customs?
A: You will be sent a replacement immediately. But this has rarely ever happened.
Q: What is the cost for shipping in the United States?
A: $27.00 will be added to your order for UPS 2nd Day delivery. If you really prefer UPS Ground then we can work this out. Although it may slow down the order process.
Q: Who will get to pre-order?

Q: Will I receive a link in the email about pre-ordering?
A: Yes I will send you a link on July 21st at 1pm PDT. TimeAndDate.com is a great place to convert the time difference.
Q: Do we pay immediately when pre-ordering?
A: Yes. This reserves your copy of the course.
Q: What payment types are you accepting?
A: PayPal, 2Checkout, All major credit cards. If you are ordering by check, please send us an email and we will give you an order form.
Q: When will the course ship?
A: Pre-Orders ship on August 25th. Orders placed on August 25th (Launch Day) will be shipping on August 26th through the 27th. Please keep in mind that launch days are very hectic for us and sometimes it takes an extra day just to get all the packages out the door.
Q: Mark, what about us that joined the waiting list. Aren’t we entitled to get our hands on CAP2 first?
A: You are the first to be notified about it. It will be on a ‘first come first serve’ bases because the waiting list out numbers the quantity available BIG time.
Q: 1pm PDT is very late at night where I live. How can I make sure I get to order?
A: I understand. On the last launch we had some people set their alarm clocks to stay up or wake up earlier. You can also play cards or computer games. Some people have a friend order for them too. Just some ideas.
Q: Will you please tell us what is on the secret DVD that comes with the CAP2?
A: I will not be revealing what is on it. It’s only being included with the 200 pre-orders on July 21st. The remainder 100 secret DVDs will be available on August 25th.
Q: I’m expecting you to sell-out in the first 5 minutes, how will I know I get the Secret DVD?
A: After 200 Pre-Orders come through the system we will shutdown the pre-order page. If you get your order in before then, I will guarantee you the secret DVD.
Q: What’s the minimum version of Photoshop in order for CAP 2.0 to work?
A: CAP 2.0 is designed to work with CS2, CS3 and CS4.
Q: Mark, Will you be offering a download version?
A: CAP 2.0 will only be available on DVD. However we may have downloadable updates on the website later.
Q: Affiliate Program?
A: It’s on the board. We will know for sure before August 25th but I think there is a good chance.
Q: It seems a bit corny to state that your secret DVD will be available in “300 limited copies only”. Sorry but is this really serious?
A: Yep, this is for real. You can see a copy of the invoice here.
(Blurred some items for everyones privacy).
And the winning question is…
Q: Will the new package include a tutorial on how to migrate existing cover actions over to the new ones or will we have to start over and get existing paperback or spiral bound covers re-done to fit the new templates?
A: The best answer for this is… Keep using CAP 1. If you have the layers for your cover, you can drag them into the new CAP 2 templates and re-arrange them. CAP 1 still creates great looking covers, so keep using those Actions, then convert over to CAP 2 as you move along.
I wanted to also note. Some people said I was making the price a secret. The pricing for CAP 2.0 was never a secret. I wasn’t ready to post it live yet. I’ve been working the numbers for the last few days and I’ve actually knocked down the amount even less then we anticipated. I wanted to present all this information today so you can view everything together.
I know there will be more questions after posting these answers. Please click on the “Reply with Comment” link below and let me know. I will revise this list later and re-post updates.
Thank you everyone. Will be waiting your feedback.
