Creating a Template

Start by finding a system that works well for you, then tailor it to a specific audience, leveraging your unique skills and knowledge to create a template that fills a gap in the market — it's all about solving real problems for real people!

Types of templates and their characteristics:

• One-pagers: Simple, user-friendly worksheets (e.g., SWOT analysis)

• Sites: Content-focused templates, often in-depth resources on specific topics

• Workflows: Templates for specific tasks or processes (e.g., OKR tracking)

• Dashboards: Comprehensive systems integrating multiple aspects of work or life

Considerations for template design:

• Thoroughly test your template before submitting. Check for errors, typos, and functionality across different scenarios.

• Consider the user experience when designing your template. Add instructional materials like videos, callouts, or a getting started page to help users navigate and use your template effectively. This reduces the learning curve and improves user adoption.

• Ensure scalability for teams and long-term use by adding filtered views and toggles to organize content over time or mutli-player use.

• Don't forget the basics! Double-check your spelling, grammar, and examples. Also, make sure to remove any personal information (like banking details) before sharing your template.

Make sure you've turned your template into a Notion Site by toggling on the Duplicate as template option.
