Feature Your Listing in the Homepage Spotlight

We just shipped something sellers have been asking for. You can now put one of your listings in the Spotlight, the moving row of featured items on the TibianHub homepage. It is the first thing visitors see, and now it can be your listing sitting there.

What the Spotlight is

The Spotlight is a rotating strip of promoted listings near the top of the homepage. Every visitor who lands on the site sees it, whether they are logged in or just browsing. A featured listing shows its image, price, server, your seller name and verified badge, and your star rating, and links straight to the listing page.

How to promote a listing

1. Open one of your active listings.
2. Hit Promote Listing at the top right.
3. Pick how long you want the slot, pay, and you are live.

Your listing joins the Spotlight as soon as the payment goes through, and the button changes to show it is currently promoted.

What it costs

You choose the window that fits:

• 6 hours - $2.99
• 12 hours - $4.99
• 24 hours - $7.99
• 3 days - $14.99

Premium members pay 20% less on every package. The discount is applied automatically at checkout.

The details

• One live promotion per listing. You cannot stack promotions on the same listing; you can promote it again after the current window ends.
• Only live listings show. If a promoted listing sells or gets closed, it drops out of the Spotlight automatically, so buyers never click a dead link.
• Payment runs through Stripe, same as everything else on the platform.

Why bother promoting

The homepage gets far more eyes than any single server-and-category page. A good listing in the Spotlight, with a sharp title, clean screenshots, and a fair price, can pull in buyers who were not even searching for it yet. Think of it as the front window of the shop.

Getting the most out of your slot

• Promote your strongest listing, not just your newest one.
• Make sure the image and price look good, since that is what people judge in the roller.
• Time it for when your server is busy, so more of the right buyers are around to see it. A 6-hour slot during peak evening hours can beat a 24-hour slot that runs while everyone is asleep.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a promotion run? Whichever window you buy: 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or 3 days. It starts as soon as the payment goes through.

Do I need Premium to promote? No. Any seller with an active listing can promote. Premium members just pay 20% less.

What happens if my listing sells during the promotion? It drops out of the Spotlight automatically. Promotions only ever show live listings.
