Adding a new product

1. Click on add new product in the product menu on the right

2. Add a Product name, description and select product categories and tags:

N.B. The product name and description plays a large role in SEO and generating traffic to your template. A large portion of sales made on Datastudiotemplates.com is through direct landings so we encourage you to spend some extra time coming up with a SEO friendly template name and writing a unique, detailed description. We recommend a minimum of 150 words.

3. In the product data section,

  • Select “Virtual” and “Downloadable”
  • Set a regular price at which you would like to sell your template
  • Add a copyable version of your template to the downloadable files section
  • Please also share this copy of your template with [email protected]

4. Review your product and when happy, submit it for review

The Data Studio Templates team will then review your product, and perform the following tasks before publishing:

  • Create a demo copy of the report that will be displayed on the product page as a link, users will not be able to copy this version.
  • Create a copy and test that data connections work and any instructions make sense. We will also add our Google Analytics tag to this copy for data gathering.
  • Create a product image and screenshots of your template
  • Review categories and make any other minor changes.

Once the above tasks are performed, we will publish your template and tweet about it on our Twitter account @GDSTemplates
