Notion Workspace Consulting
Design and implement Notion workspaces for teams and businesses
Overview
Notion consultants help individuals, teams, and businesses set up customized Notion workspaces for project management, documentation, wikis, databases, and workflows.
You design workspace architecture, build templates and databases, train users, and potentially provide ongoing support.
Success requires deep Notion expertise, understanding business workflows and information architecture, design and UX thinking, and teaching abilities.
Pricing includes workspace setup projects ($500-5,000 for individuals to enterprises), hourly consulting ($75-200), training sessions, template creation and licensing, or monthly retainers for ongoing support and optimization.
Projects involve understanding client needs and workflows, designing workspace structure and databases, building templates and views, creating documentation and guides, training team on Notion use, and potentially providing ongoing optimization.
Startup costs are minimal—Notion subscription, courses and learning, template portfolio, website and marketing, totaling $500-2,000.
Building client base involves Notion community engagement, templates showcasing expertise, content marketing showing Notion use cases, partnerships with productivity consultants and coaches, LinkedIn targeting operations and knowledge workers, and word-of-mouth from satisfied clients.
Revenue comes from consulting projects, template sales (Gumroad, Notion marketplace), training and workshops, retainers for ongoing support, or potentially Notion courses and educational content.
Operating costs include Notion subscription, template tools and integrations, continued learning as Notion updates, marketing, and time creating content.
Challenges include Notion has limitations some clients discover later, free templates available reducing template revenue, clients may eventually not need ongoing support, Notion could change product direction, and limited market (only Notion users).
Success requires staying current on Notion features and updates, excellent information architecture and database design, beautiful, intuitive workspace setups, teaching clients to use Notion effectively (not just building for them), and potentially specializing in specific business types or use cases.
Notion consulting combines technical setup with change management helping teams adopt new workflows.
Many consultants supplement project work with template sales and courses.
