🧩 Create & Sell Notion Templates

If you love organising your life in Notion and enjoy building clean, easy-to-use systems, this could be a brilliant creative income stream.

Notion templates are in high demand, especially if you can help people track goals, plan projects, or simplify everyday routines. And once you’ve built them, they become digital assets that can earn while you travel.

Perfect for system thinkers, digital organisers, or anyone who loves turning chaos into calm.


🧠 What You’re Really Offering

You’re not just sharing a workspace. You’re giving people:

  • A head start on their goals

  • A tool that saves time and stress

  • A ready-made structure they can personalise

  • A digital product they’ll keep using again and again

🛠 Skills You’ll Need

  • Notion knowledge (beyond the basics)

  • System and process thinking

  • Light design and layout skills

  • Clear documentation or video walkthroughs

  • Basic copywriting and marketing

  • Patience — this one rewards detail and iteration

💸 Startup Costs

This is one of the cheapest side hustles to launch, almost everything is free.

  • Notion Personal: Free

  • Notion Pro (optional for sharing features): $8/month

  • Gumroad or Stan: Free to start

  • Optional: Custom domain ($10–$20/year)

  • Optional: Icon packs or visuals: $10–$50

Total setup: $0–$100 depending on extras

⏰ Time Commitment

  • Template creation: 3–5 hours

  • Writing documentation: 1–2 hours

  • Marketing: 1–2 hours/week

  • Customer support: 30 mins/day

The more templates you create, the easier it becomes to systemise your shop and scale.
