Create a complete Notion course teaching people to build their own productivity system from scratch — no template dependency. Cover databases, relations, rollups, formulas, linked views, and dashboard design. Most Notion courses just hand over a template. Yours teaches the underlying skills so students can customize and maintain their own system forever. The Notion community is massive and hungry for education beyond basic tutorials.
🚀 First Step
Record a 15-minute module on 'Notion Databases Explained Simply' covering properties, filters, sorts, and views using a real-world task manager as the example.
  • Teach the 'why' behind each feature — explain that relations connect databases like spreadsheet VLOOKUP but visual, which helps students understand when to use each tool
  • Include 3 complete project builds: a task manager, a reading list, and a budget tracker — students learn by building real things, not watching slides
  • Create a 'Notion Formula Cheat Sheet' PDF as a lead magnet to build your email list before the course launches
