The Definitive Guide To Notion Products That Are Not Templates

⚡️NEWS FLASH: You don’t have to be using Notion as your main daily productivity driver to build cool products with it and make money online as a creator.

There’s a big misconception out there that the only people who can make money from Notion are the template builders. But to be honest, trying to build and sell a template on Notion is hard. There are a million other template builders and not everyone uses Notion for productivity things.

But Notion is still a powerful tool and I believe it can be a great platform for building things that are not templates. I believe in it so much I compiled this list of 17 product ideas that you could build and launch using Notion.
