A good plugin can still launch quietly if the listing isn't ready. Here's a checklist to run through before you hit publish on BuiltByBit, Polymart, SpigotMC or Modrinth.
Thumbnails, description threads and banners are what I make, with a fixed price before any work starts. Take a look at the design services, or get in touch with a question.
The listing
- A clear name, ideally one people would search for.
- A one-line tagline that explains the benefit.
- A thumbnail that's readable at small sizes.
- A description thread with features, screenshots, commands and compatibility.
- Accurate tags and categories, so the marketplace can recommend it.
Before people buy
- Supported server software and Minecraft versions, stated plainly.
- Required and optional dependencies.
- A short video or GIF of the main feature, if it's visual.
- A price that matches the value, with launch discounts planned in advance.
After people buy
- Documentation: installation, configuration and common questions.
- A support channel, such as a Discord server with clear rules.
- A changelog, so buyers can see the product is maintained.
- Leak protection, if it's a premium resource.
Spreading the word
- Post an announcement in your Discord with the thumbnail and a link.
- Share a short clip on social media.
- Write a guide that solves a real problem and links to your product. Guides keep bringing visitors long after launch day.
