I made $200,000 online in 2022.
I’m just 20, here’s how I did it:
In 2021, I first came across a @NotionHQ page packaged as a digital product.
Before that, I only knew how to use Notion to take class notes in school.
I dive deeper into learning the different features in Notion by watching tons of free videos on YouTube.
As Naval said, free education is abundant, all over the internet.
I created a Notion page to keep track of my personal finances as my first project.
After, I took to Notion communities on Facebook, Reddit and Discord to share a screenshot of my setup.
I received supportive comments and requests to make my Notion page into a template.
A Notion template is a Notion page that can be duplicated to other people's account.
It felt great to share my setup with the community, and I learn a lot more about Notion building the pages from scratch.
If you want to learn a new skill, start building projects.
At the time, I also came to the idea of building in public and growing a supportive online audience alongside in your journey.
I started talking about Notion and sharing my ideas and work on Twitter.
While many were adding colorful icons & illustrations to their pages, mine were usually simple and minimal.
Later, I became known to the community for my minimalist templates.
I realised how being different helped me stand out from the crowd.
I earned my first dollar via @gumroad.
Gumroad is a platform for selling digital products and allow customers pay what they want even for $0 product.
I started putting my free templates on Gumroad.
Publishing content on Twitter and creating free Notion templates soon became my weekly and monthly routine.
This led to continual growth of my Twitter audience and Gumroad customers.
Notion community and users were growing too.
Template marketplaces like @notionery appeared, and many were launching Notion templates on @ProductHunt.
I was lucky to be at the right time and market to sell Notion templates.
It was when I started selling premium templates that took my small business to $10K then $100K and now $200K.
There is no overnight success.
It was only possible because of months of publishing content and free templates online.
I hope you've found this thread helpful.
