How to Build a Community of Template Creators

Welcome to "Template Titans," the show where we dive deep into the world of Notion templates and the creators behind them. I'm your host, Nick Lafferty, and in each episode, we sit down with talented Notion template creators to discuss their journey, insights, and tips for success. Today's guest is Chris from the Chris's Notion – he's a Notion Youtuber that has over 8,000 subscribers. Today Chris spills the secrets on how he's used Youtube to sell over $10,000 of Notion templates. He has an entire series on how to use Notion AI and his channel is a great source of Notion knowledge both for myself and other creators. Right before I talked with Chris, I interviewed another Notion creator who mentioned he was inspired by Chris' videos. We talk about his process for creating Notion templates, why he outsources the actual editing of his Youtube videos, dealing with haters, and what are the best channels for Notion creators to market their templates. Chris is a super smart dude and there are tons of great nuggets here for anyone interested in making money selling Notion templates.
