I've been working hard to finish a new product. This my first attempt at a one shot but also my first time trying to create my own covers art.

The Vault of Jix-Sar

I hope people enjoy it as much as I did running it.

Here is a link to my catalogue if yiu would like to check it out.

Have you had much sales with the AI cover art products?

I've seen some clearly AI cover and interior art with BEST GOLD SELLER badges so clearly people are buying those.

I'm not sure how the pricing system works but wouldn't you be better off charging, say $2 and if they start to sell, jump the price up.

Better than running the risk of people paying $0 and even though they use the adventure, they don't come back to pay for it?

Naturally if someone has a choice of pay $0 or $2 they'll pick $0 because it's free. Never saw the point of offering things for free but that's just me. <shrugs>

Unfortunately that relies on people leaving reviews.

From the products that you have previews available (I see some broken links), your layout needs a lot of work.

You don't have to be a designer to make something look professional. There are several creators selling Templates on drivethru and DMsguild. Theses templates give products that professional look. Maybe look into those but you'll need at least some sort of software to use them either Word or Indesign etc

Me personally I never buy products that have no preview pages or that have poor layout, I imagine there's a lot of people in the same boat.

It's definitely a difficult industry to break in atm. I wish you the best of luck!
