You’ve created a Notion template. It’s fantastic. Perhaps the best you’ve ever used. And now you want other people to use it. Maybe you even want them to pay to use it. But how do you sell it? And how do you spread word so people will find out about it and want to buy it. We’re about to lift the lid on the secrets of selling Notion templates. We have tips on exactly where you can sell them, as well as several different distribution channels you can lean on to promote them. So… let’s figure out how we make you some money, like Thomas Frank who made over $1,000,000 from selling templates.
List the Template on Gumroad
First things first, you need a storefront. Gumroad is perfect for this. It’s straightforward to set up, simple for buyers to use, and comes with some nifty features like analytics and the option to create discount codes, and even an affiliate link (more on that in a bit). Think of it as your own little digital marketplace. Your own Amazon page for your digital creations. Once you’ve listed your template, don’t forget to style your Gumroad page with a clear description and eye-catching visuals. A short introduction that explains how your template can solve someone’s problem (and why it’s awesome) goes a long way.
Add the Template to Notion’s Template Gallery
Notion’s own Template Gallery is where users go first when they’re hunting for new setups. It’s basically like being featured in the window of a busy shopping district. By adding your creation to the gallery, you’re putting your work in front of thousands of curious Notion fans who are ready to download. The submission process is pretty simple: fill in some details about your template, include screenshots, and maybe toss in a quick video. Once you’re approved, your template could become the next must-have for those who rely on Notion to plan everything from grocery lists to major business launches.
Promote the Template on Notion Wizard for Free
Here’s a fun fact: You can promote your template for free on Notion Wizard (that’s us!) even if you’re planning to charge for it. We have the full information over on our ‘Promote Your Notion Template’ page. But in short: We can offer more exposure if you pay us a commission, but we’ll still promote it in free, in the form of an article, posted right here, on our website, for everyone on the internet to find and read, with no strings attached. We do check the quality of the templates first to make sure they’re something our audience would like to learn more about, but I’m sure if you’re reading this, it’s because you have created something killer.
Share the Template on Other Relevant Websites
There’s a whole world of Notion junkies out there, and they don’t just hang out on Notion Wizard. There are plenty of other Notion resource and productivity websites that’ll accept submissions for your template. Note that some will require a commission if it’s a paid template. One of these websites is Notion Everything, which allows submissions but takes a 20% commission on paid templates. It also requires those submitting a template to use Gumroad to keep things nice and simple. Other websites that you can submit templates include Red Gregory and Nick Lafferty also takes submissions.
Post Screenshots on Social Media (Including Reddit)
Eye candy is powerful. Posting a few polished screenshots of your template can make all the difference. Show off the main dashboard, any interesting databases, and sprinkle in some real-life usage examples for good measure. Platforms like X (Twitter) and TikTok are great for building awareness, but don’t skip Reddit. There are active subreddits dedicated to Notion (and productivity in general) where users love discovering new templates. Just be mindful of each community’s rules and etiquette. No one likes spam. If you focus on being helpful and showing genuine value, you might see your template take off in a big way.
Pitch the Template to Press if It Solves a Common Problem
If your template fixes a problem lots of people have—like managing hectic schedules or tracking finances—then it’s newsworthy. Consider sending a quick pitch to relevant outlets, like Make Use Of or Business Insider. Highlight how your template has streamlined a specific pain point, and include a brief backstory on why you created it. Journalists love practical solutions, especially if you can back them up with real-world results. If you can show that your creation helps folks save time, reduce stress, or make life simpler, you have a solid angle for coverage. Even a small write-up can lead to a nice spike in sales and brand awareness.
