How to get more views and sales
What sells best on PromptBase, how search ranking and featured prompts work, and what to do about a bad review.
Updated November 14, 2026
How do I improve my views and sales?
- Make prompts people can use. The prompts that sell best are useable in real-world projects and businesses, like prints for t-shirts, instead of artwork.
- Look at what buyers want. The categories bar at the top of the site shows the areas and niches people buy prompts for.
- Check your sales sources. Every sale has a "sales source" column. Hover over it to see where the buyer was on the site, or what they searched for, before buying.
- Use your analytics. You have analytics on every prompt. Work out which prompts are doing well and make more like them.
- Test your thumbnails. Try different thumbnail images to get more clicks.
- Write detailed instructions. Buyers love them, for example how you made each preview image. It often leads to repeat purchases.
- Think about Google. Every prompt page appears on Google, with your title and description as the search result. Write them for the people searching.
- Share your link. Sales you bring in through your own referral link have 0% fees.
- Consider PromptBase Pro. Pro adds extra tools to help your prompts stand out, such as Trends, credits for boosts and custom thumbnails.
What counts as a view?
A view is counted when someone opens your prompt's page, or expands its preview by hovering over it. Hover previews used to be counted separately, so you may have seen your views jump when the two were combined.
How are trending prompts and search rankings decided?
A prompt's position in search results and trending prompts depends on several things, including its:
- Sales
- Views
- Favorites
- Uses
- Reviews
Sales count for far more than anything else, so a prompt with sales will usually appear above a free prompt.
We don't publish the exact workings, to stop people gaming the system.
How does a prompt get featured?
The featured section is handpicked from some of the best submissions to PromptBase. These prompts generally show a unique, original idea and work extremely consistently. Image prompts with the full 9 example images are more likely to be picked. We don't currently feature skills or text prompts. We also post featured prompts on our social media pages.
I received a bad review, what do I do?
The best thing to do is reach out to the reviewer and help them get better results from your prompt. Reviewers can edit their review, and they often do once their problem is solved.
Click the reviewer's username to go to their profile, where you can start a chat with them on PromptBase.
Can I message buyers and other sellers?
You can reply to anyone who messages you, and help buyers who are having trouble with your prompt. Don't send messages people haven't asked for, such as asking buyers for reviews or sending the same invitation to lots of people. Our systems treat that as spam, and it leads to a temporary ban from chat.
