Share Your RPG Content Part 2: Posting Your Content
Alright. So you've just been approved as a Creator on TopoTurtle. Congratulations! Now the real fun begins!
This is part two of our three-part tutorial on Share Your RPG Content. If you're confused, please see part one (TopoTurtle Creator Enrollment) before moving forward.
In this section, we will be adding a new product and going over how to optimize your product's tags for the best searchability. Let's get started!
First, navigate to your Creator profile. TopoTurtle.com -> Creator Login -> Login with your Creator account credentials. If it has been more than 48 hours and you are still waiting to be approved, please follow the directions to reach out for assistance.
Your brand new TopoTurtle Creator profile page should look like this:
We will go over the various sections in part three (Managing Your Store), but for now, click on the Add Product button in the middle of the page. Do not be intimidated by the number of fields! We'll walk you through each one!

SKU

Product Images
These will act as the previews of your work. Typically, it's good practice to upload a lower resolution file for previews than the actual digital download. A TopoTurtle watermark is added automatically to every product uploaded to help prevent theft.
If you are including multiple files in your digital download, maybe only upload a few previews and be very clear with what's included in your Product Description.
Digital Product Files
This is where you will upload your digital files. Only one file is accepted, so if you have multiple files to upload, it will be necessary to compress them into a zip file. You may ignore the "Filestypes you may upload are pdf, JPG, GIF, PNG" message.
There is currently a user upload max of 20mb per product. Larger files can be accommodated by request. Please email info@topoturtle.com with your request.
Accessible Days
We recommend setting this number to 0 (unlimited). If any other number is used here it is required to have the instructions in your Product Description.
Download Limit
We recommend setting this number to 0 (unlimited). If any other number is used here it is required to have the instructions in your Product Description.

Time to set your price. TopoTurtle provides artists and designers 70% of all their total sales. You may also set your price to $0 and we will host your content for free downloads.
Multi-file (2-8 files), variant maps, encounter (grid & no-grid), scenes = $1.00-$2.00
Large Map Packs = $5.00
Your Portion
Compare At Price
Leave this at $0. You are only allowed to sell your own work, so there should never be a Compare At Price.
Inventory
Leave unchecked. Currently, we only deal in digital files so no inventory information is needed.
There you have it! You're ready to click Save and this will send your product to an admin to review. Once approved, your product will be automatically added to TopoTurtle's website utilizing all of the information you provided.
In our next tutorial, we'll go over your Creator page, payment info, and more.
