Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from others' errors and optimize from the start

Vague or generic titles

Impact:

Hurts search visibility and trust.

Solution:

Combine asset type + theme + scope (e.g., “Stylized Pine Trees - 60 Prefabs, LODs”).

Thin or missing descriptions

Impact:

Buyers cannot verify scope, formats, or compatibility.

Solution:

Write 2 short paragraphs + bullets covering counts, formats, pipelines, and support.

Too few preview images

Impact:

Low confidence in quality and variety.

Solution:

Show 8-12 images including close-ups and in-context shots.

Weak or repeated tags

Impact:

Harder to find and rank for relevant queries.

Solution:

Use 8-12 varied tags mixing type, genre/style, and use case; avoid duplicates.

Misaligned pricing

Impact:

Over/under-pricing reduces conversions or leaves money on the table.

Solution:

Match price to content depth and polish; consider bundles and promos.
