Overview

Notion templates help users organize their lives and work more efficiently.

As Notion's user base has exploded to millions, demand for pre-built templates has surged.

You create templates for specific use cases - content calendars, project management systems, habit trackers, financial planners, CRM systems, or student organizers - and sell them on Gumroad, Etsy, or your own website.

The beauty is templates require no coding - just understanding Notion's features and good organizational design.

Popular creators build template bundles priced from $10-100, with the highest-earning sellers making $5,000-20,000 monthly.

Success requires understanding your target user's pain points, creating visually appealing designs, and providing clear documentation.

Marketing leverages Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube tutorials showing your templates in action.

Many creators offer free versions to build audiences, then upsell premium versions.

The market is growing rapidly but becoming more competitive, favoring those who specialize in specific niches (students, creators, small business owners).
