Interesting and very timely, I think a significant portion of the audience for http://LiberWriter.com will turn out to be women.

So... what kind of easy to create image can I put up to show how things work in a more 'human' way? I like the spareness of the design and I'm not paying for a designer until I start making steady money so "go pay a design guy a lot of money" is not a good answer.

Get a $70 template from WooThemes (or any of numerous cheaper options) to make it look professional, then find a stock image of e.g. a woman sipping coffee at Starbucks and do one of those hand-drawn arrow things saying "She'll be a published author by the end of the latte."

Alternatively, a youngish mother playing with her child. Again, hand-drawn callout: "My mom is a published author."

Cool. A little birdie tells me that Adii Rockstar, founder of Woothemes will be coming from South Africa to talk at Business of Software this year.

Perhaps you should be selling the dream of becoming a published writer rather than just being "the easiest way to write for the Kindle."

Timely, too, since they are maximizing exposure for registration for this year's conference. Clever!
