By maintaining a high standard of quality and only offering the best templates, users will come to trust the Masterworks brand and know that they are getting the best possible tools for their needs.
This will ultimately lead to a more engaged and loyal user base, as well as a stronger reputation for the Masterworks platform.
For Masterworks creators, this is an opportunity to stand apart from the crowd, and a sea of other templates.
Quite simply, the purpose of creating Masterworks is to improve view to sale conversion percentages for Masterworks Creators by curating only the best.

The following factors will be taken into consideration when reviewing a Masterworks submission.
<aside> <img src="/icons/star_purple.svg" alt="/icons/star_purple.svg" width="40px" /> A Masterwork is a template that has a strong and distinct brand.
This means that the template has a clear purpose, a consistent design, and a unique value proposition that sets it apart from other templates on the market.
A Masterwork is not only functional and useful, but also aesthetically pleasing and memorable. It should be easily recognizable and associated with a the creator or their brand.
Having a clear brand identity helps ensure that the template stands out in a crowded marketplace and attracts the right audience.

<aside> <img src="/icons/star_purple.svg" alt="/icons/star_purple.svg" width="40px" /> A Masterwork template is designed with a specific group of users in mind.
This could be a particular industry, profession, or use case.
By tailoring the template to a specific audience, the creator can provide more targeted and relevant features and functionality that meet the unique needs of that group. Quality of the copy will be considered when assessing this clarity.
Combining the unfair advantage with a clear target audience will help Masterworks resonate with their users and convert better.
For example, “Personal Finance Tracker” for everyone is less likely to be a Masterwork than “Financial Planning System for Solopreneurs”.

<aside> <img src="/icons/star_purple.svg" alt="/icons/star_purple.svg" width="40px" /> We’re looking unique feature or perspective that the template creator brings to their work.
This could be a specialized skill set, a particular area of expertise, or simply a unique perspective that allows them to approach problems and solutions in a novel way.
A Masterwork template should showcase the creator's unfair advantage in a way that provides value to the user.
This could mean incorporating unique design elements, including specialized functionality, or providing guidance and insights that only someone with the creator's experience and expertise could offer. By leveraging their unfair advantage, the creator can set their template apart from others on the market and provide a unique and valuable tool for users.

<aside> <img src="/icons/star_purple.svg" alt="/icons/star_purple.svg" width="40px" /> Notion still has a tough learning curve. If you have an ecosystem built around supporting your template, through blogs, video tutorials or something similar, it helps onboard users quicker. While this is not mandatory, it is heavily recommended.
