Most buyers on BuiltByBit decide in a few seconds whether to open your resource, and in under a minute whether to buy it. They make that decision from three things: the thumbnail, the description thread and, on bigger listings, the banner. None of them are about how good your code is. They're about how quickly someone understands what they're getting.
The thumbnail competes with dozens of others in a grid, at a small size. It has one job: make someone open your page instead of the one next to it.
The thumbnail: get the click

- One clear subject. Show the plugin's main feature or a recognisable item, not a collage of everything.
- A readable name. Test it at the size it appears in the resource list. If you can't read it there, it's too small or too detailed.
- Contrast with the page. Many thumbnails use the same dark backgrounds. A distinct color makes yours easier to spot.
- Consistency across your resources. Buyers who liked one of your plugins should recognise your others at a glance.
