The next best thing to a week on summer vacation is taking a load off and giving your brain a break every week. With Notion, you do exactly that.
In my clients’ businesses (and my own, of course), I leverage Notion like it’s my job. Oh, wait—it is 😉 Okay. But jokes aside, I love this platform because it isn’t your average document storage system, and it puts oh so much more control in your hands as a creator, organizer, and CEO.
I’ve gathered a few of my favorite ways to use Notion that I can’t wait to share with you. You might not even know a few of these exist in this alternate universe where time is abundant and stress is low—almost as low as it would be if you and your brain really were sunbathing on the beach.
Knowledge Base & Training Hub
The first step to giving your brain that much-needed break is to create an external brain for your business. With Notion, you can create a dedicated hub that holds (almost) everything someone would need to step in and start doing your job—or any job on your team for that matter.
Centralizing everything from onboarding guides and process checklists to video tutorials and frequently asked questions means you’re no longer scrambling to find the latest update for a new team member or wondering what you titled that S.O.P. (standard operating procedure) you forgot to file. Your team will have instant access to the information they need whenever they need it in one searchable spot, and you’ll be able to delegate more quickly and efficiently.
Meeting Notes
AI note-takers are gaining popularity, but what do you do once you have your transcripts? Do they just sit on the software, never to be touched again? Or do you dump them in a Google Doc, hoping you’ll be able to find what you need when the time comes?
With Notion, you can create a dedicated space to capture all your important meeting notes, decisions, and follow-ups. When you store your notes in this centralized location, you can easily organize your meetings and search for them. Notion will even help you with customized meeting agenda templates for any meeting you can dream up!
Course & Freebie Hosting
Shuffling documents, attachments, and downloadable file folders is such a hassle. Not to mention, PDFs are way too easy to lose in the downloads folder. That’s why using Notion to deliver your freebies is such a fantastic route. Notion allows you to create a dynamic experience for your people with links, photos, and other embedded resources that are more intuitive and fun to navigate.
You can take this one step further and host entire courses and resource libraries inside of Notion, too. The experience is user friendly and straightforward on the user end. Unlike many course sites where you need an individual login for every course you purchase, on Notion, your people will log in once and then have access to everything they’ve saved or accessed on Notion in one place. This means you’ll likely see fewer user support requests and confusion while people get better and faster results with your course!
Content & Marketing Hub
Clunky calendars and frustrating integrations are a thing of the past. So, put down the Google Drive maze of folders and get ready to ditch the mayhem and revolutionize your social media. Notion’s calendar setup allows you to plan, schedule, and track your blog posts, social media content, and email newsletters with ease—and that’s just the beginning! You can store anything and everything related to your marketing efforts in one convenient location and collaborate on that content with your team.
Client Management
If you want to RUN in the other direction anytime you so much as think about getting all your clients into a CRM tool, Notion might be for you. It’s the perfect platform for people who love simple, visual, and easy-to-navigate systems. Tracking finances, leads, and follow-ups is a breeze at Notion—leaps and bounds above Excel or Google spreadsheet tracking, yet even more intuitive to navigate.
Regarding your day-to-day client relations, you can use Notion for everything from tracking project progress to creating client-facing portals for work updates, resources, and materials. You might even think of Notion as your secret hack to making mini “websites” that serve each of your clients just as you need—no coding, tech skills, or complicated client logins required.
