  • Productize Your Notion Knowledge: Starting A Subscription Notion Agency

    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.

      • How To Start A Notion Consulting Business

        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
