# Author best practices

> Practical tips to get approved faster, rank well, and sell more as a Marketplace author.

Good items sell themselves. These practices help your work get approved, found, and bought.

## Get approved faster

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Match the category" icon="folder-tree">
    Provide the files and options the category requires. Mismatches slow down review.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Show a strong preview" icon="eye">
    A clear preview and screenshots that reflect what buyers actually receive builds trust and speeds review.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Rank and get found

* **Write a clear title** with the words buyers search for.
* **Use accurate tags** — relevant, specific, not spammy.
* **Pick the most specific correct category** and sub-category.
* **Describe the item fully** — what it is, what's included, and how to use it.
