The cover sells - before anyone opens the PDF
On a phone you get half a second. The cover has to read like a product, not like a Canva slide.

Thumb-readable
The title has to be legible in a thumbnail. Avoid 7 fonts and stock smiles. A calm composition + one contrasting accent works better than a "loud marketplace look."
The promise up front
The cover is a mini landing page. The viewer sees: topic, level (beginner / practical), brand tone. If the cover promises a "system" but inside is a loose essay - refunds and bad reviews are guaranteed.
Generate, then refine
In Webbyn the cover is created as part of the product process, not as a separate week-long project. You get a base you can swap out - as long as it doesn't block publishing.
