Template Titans | a Notion Podcast For Template Creators Nick Lafferty

My guest today is Hunter Bohm, he's the founder of Profit Pilot, a company that helps agencies and business owners streamline their backend processes with custom Notion workspaces and AI systems.

He also has a newsletter called The Productive Solopreneur where he teaches people how to build power-packed systems for solo success.

This episode is special because Hunter has a service based business that I think a lot of current template creators could grow into over time. Hunter's model is unique, his agency is a recurring subscription that services clients long term.



Hunter is doing some really advanced things with AI in his business that no other Notion agency is doing right now.

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 Madison from A Simple Notion.

She's a notion template creator and consultant who quit her job in May to pursue her self-employment dreams. She's one of the few creators that has branded her entire Twitter experience from her profile background to screenshots, all have the same red theme to it, which I think is a really subtle and effective way to stand out and something that I personally need to start doing as well.

She does a lot more notion consulting than than anyone of the other guests I've had in on the podcast. And so excited to dive into that

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.
