Tips & Tricks: what's so rocking good about these models?

The tips are listed in a random fashion with a screenshot to illustrate each point.

# Main image: consider your main image as product packaging. Is it eye-catching? Will it stand out? Crisp and high-quality photorealistic main image with great illumination and shaders is your best shot at convincing people to click through.

# Good title: a combination of specific and general keywords that mimic people's search habits. Your model should be easy to find, no one is going to search for a "Gucci 07537 model". Would you?

# Available file formats: making your model available in the most popular formats is key. Imagine - it's a beautiful day, you're in the park with a bunch of friends, a dude comes around with a cooler bag and offers you two chilly drinks for a price of one. Guess what, he doesn't have anything you like. What are you feeling? Exactly, that's why you should always cater to customer needs.

# Additional preview material: if you're working with animated models, the rule of thumb is to always (and I can't stress this enough) upload plenty of high-quality preview images and (!) a YouTube video. It's a must.

# A thorough, in-depth description containing the most important information: you worked so hard on your model. Why waste all that effort? Please.describe.in.detail. It's not that painful when you develop a habit.

# Great customer feedback and response rate/time: earn trust, don't leave your customers hanging and always - always - go the extra mile if it's a reasonable request.

# Relevant tags: we recommend to add 10-15 relevant tags. It will help you increase traffic and be easily discoverable in our search results.

# Discounts: promotions grab attention, so from time to time we recommend to remind your customers about yourself using this sneaky little trick. Don't you always remember that you need those sneakers when you see a bargain?

# Symbolic concept: people often search for popular or generic things. If you're not working on a specific assignment, it's a good idea to aim for iconic, easily recognizable buildings, people, products, characters, etc.
