How to make $1000 selling Notion templates - A complete guide

💰 Make Your First $1,000 Selling Notion Templates in 30 Days: A Step-by-Step Blueprint

Can you really make $1,000 in a month selling Notion templates?

Short answer: YES. And in this post, I’m going to show you exactly how I’d do it if I were starting from scratch. No audience, no fancy tools — just strategy, consistency, and a little bit of Canva and Notion magic. 🪄

If you've been sitting on the idea of creating digital products, this is your sign. Let’s dive into a 30-day plan to help you start selling Notion templates and earn your first $1K online.

💡 Step 1: Choose a Profitable Template Idea (Days 1–2)

Before you design anything, you need to know what people actually want to buy.

Spend a day or two doing research on:

• What people are struggling to stay organized with

• What’s trending on Etsy or Gumroad

• What professionals need (coaches, therapists, students, freelancers)

• Reels and TikToks about Notion setups (the comments are goldmines)

Hot tip: Pick a niche, not everyone. “Notion Template for Small Business Owners” is vague. “Notion Template for Etsy Sellers to Track Listings & Sales”? That’s specific — and it sells.

🛠 Step 2: Design Your Template (Days 3–6)

Now you’re going to bring that idea to life. You don’t need a coding background or a design degree.

Here’s what to focus on:

• Clean layout

• Easy navigation

• Functional databases (use linked views, filters, and relations for bonus points)

• A little branding (keep it simple, but cohesive)

If you're reselling PLR templates like my PLR Notion Template Bundle, this step becomes so much easier. Just customize the look, tailor it to your niche, and you’re done.

🖼 Step 3: Create Mockups & Sales Graphics (Days 7–8)

Even the best template won’t sell if it looks boring.

Make sure you:

• Use Canva to create beautiful mockups

• Include key features in the product images

• Show how your template is actually used (not just blank pages)

• Add social proof if you have any

✨ Bonus: Record a quick Loom walkthrough. People love to see it in action.

🛒 Step 4: Set Up Your Product Listings (Days 9–10)

Where should you sell?

Start with:

• Your own website (hello, 100% profits and brand control)

• Etsy (for quick traffic and SEO)

• Gumroad or Payhip (great for email collection and affiliate marketing)
  

In your product listing:

• Write a benefit-driven title (e.g., “Notion Template for Coaches to Plan Clients, Calls and Content”)

• Include a keyword-rich description

• Break down the features and benefits

• Add FAQs to reduce buyer hesitation
  

📣 Step 5: Promote Like Crazy (Days 11–30)

This is where the magic happens. You don’t need 10,000 followers. You need smart visibility.

Here’s what to do:

• Post daily on Instagram, Pinterest, or Threads

  • Share behind-the-scenes peeks

  • Talk about the problem your template solves

  • Share tips from your own template

  • Use niche-specific hashtags

• Email your list (even if it's small!)

  • Offer a freebie in exchange for emails (like a mini version of your template)

  • Send 3–4 emails throughout the month

• Create blog content (hello, SEO!)

  • Write helpful, keyword-optimized blog posts (like the one you’re reading now 😉)

  • Include your product links and freebies in every post
    

🧠 Final Thoughts: Can You Actually Make $1K in 30 Days?

Absolutely. You don't need a giant following. You need:✅ One great template✅ One specific niche✅ Clear branding✅ Daily visibility
