Introduction
It’s always been my dream to open an online shop and I’m happy I finally have the resources, and confidence to do so.
A month ago, I discovered a Notion Creator on Medium who made a lot of sales from selling Notion Templates alone. She inspired me to open a Gumroad Shop where people can download my templates.
I had zero idea how to create a Notion template for years. However, two weeks ago, I decided to give it a try until I finished my first-ever template in two days.
I watched YouTube tutorials and looked for inspiration on Pinterest as a complete beginner. Though my first template was simple, seeing the results made me so happy after all the hard work and patience I exerted for my small business.
Within a week, my free template gained 40+ downloads and 7 ratings. It means so much to me and I appreciate all the people who downloaded it.
What is Notion?
Notion is a workspace where you can brainstorm, write down your thoughts, and plan out everything. It’s a document, file, organizer, task manager, and everything all at once.
Its minimalist and clean interface boosts the users' productivity while working on their tasks. They can use it for personal or business use. But they can also invite their work team to work on their corporate tasks as a group, efficiently.
If you’re interested, you can download the Notion app from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For PC and tablet users, you can also visit their website here.
What is a Notion Template?
A Notion template is a pre-made workspace that you can duplicate as yours without creating from scratch. There are various types of templates designed by Notion creators that they give away for free or sell on their online shop… and I’m one of them.
Templates can be student planners, goals trackers, life planners, mental health trackers, etc. There are various styles of templates created by creators that everyone can choose from based on their preferences.
My Gumroad Shop
Gumroad is like Etsy where you can sell digital products for your customers. What I like about this platform is the fact that it’s free to sell products and easy to set up your business even for beginners like me.
However, they take 10% each of your sales but it’s a win-win situation. If you’re interested, you can download my free and aesthetic Notion templates from my Gumroad shop here.
