(Guide) How to create a Play-with-Pro listing that stands out

Creating a listing that catches the eye of potential buyers involves more than just showcasing your high-level status in a game. It's about convincing them that you can significantly enhance their gaming skills. Buyers are looking for a fast track to gaining experience or leveling up, but they're also eager to learn new strategies, tips, and tricks from an expert like you.

Before You List: Preparation Tips

1. Showcase Your Achievements: Include images or screenshots of your game achievements, such as rankings, statistics, league or team information, and past trophies. These visuals serve as proof of your expertise and accomplishments.
2. Demonstrate Your Skill with Videos: Upload videos of your gameplay to display your skill level directly. This visual evidence can be a powerful motivator for potential clients.
3. Detail Your Offerings: Clearly describe what buyers can expect when they play with you. Be as specific as possible about the ranks or levels you can help them achieve, and the kind of guidance you'll provide.

Setting Expectations

While your skills and guidance can significantly benefit buyers, it's essential to manage expectations. Some factors are beyond your control, and it's important to communicate this to potential buyers. Let them know what is realistically achievable from their sessions with you to ensure a transparent and satisfactory experience for both parties. By following these guidelines, you'll create compelling listings that not only showcase your expertise but also clearly articulate the value you bring to the gaming community.

Below is a listing example for Play-with-Pros:

Step 1 - Description

• Name or alias: Keep it simple but clear. The example, "I will be your Valorant coach" describes what the session is about. If you think you can help the player achieve an objective, you can include it here.  For example, "I will coach you and provide playing tips for Diamond League level" 
• About: Describe your session in as much detail as possible. Buyers like to understand perfectly what they are getting before making the purchase. This is also important to avoid confusion and disputes. Here is the place to detail your achievements to convince the buyer.
• Game Information: Make sure you fill in all the information about your sessions such as the Platform (PC/Xbox One/PS4), the Server (if applicable), your In-Game Name, your Rank (if applicable) your Role or Specialty, and any other relevant information. 

Step 2 - Media

• To make your listing stand out, be creative and original with your image. This is the first element that buyers will see;
• Use colors and elements that translate well to your session;
• Use images that correctly display the contents of your listing;
• Do not abbreviate any game name (Rocket League to RL),  if you do that, it is less likely that your listing will appear in any search.

Step 3 - Pricing

• Choose between 1, 2, or 3-hour sessions;
• Delivery time: Be precise with the timing. Not delivering within the original listing delivery time will cause the sale to be canceled.
• Price: Compare your service to others being offered in the marketplace to be competitive.

Step 4 - FAQ

• The FAQ section is optional, but it's another opportunity to make your listing stand out from the rest
• Add questions and answers that buyers might have to increase the chances of sales
• Think ahead to which questions would you ask if you were the buyer, and answer them here.
• Add the questions frequently asked on your chat here.

Step 5 - Publish!

• Ready to list your session? Review your image and text before you publish to catch any typos and errors.
• Remember! The Gameflip Guarantee is offered free of charge to all buyers and sellers on Gameflip, but if your listing fails to describe accurately what you offer, the Gameflip Guarantee will only cover the buyer.
