	Artist Publishing Tip #1: Improve your sales by improving your descriptions. Often the description is used to talk about the technical details of an asset, but not about the art itself. The best descriptions do both. A duplicate description is worse than no description at all, and a product with no description is unlikely to sell. To sell the most assets, keep your descriptions up to date and fresh.
