Overview

<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>This business sells premium Notion templates designed for productivity, organization, and business workflows. Over the past 2+ years, I've created and sold 26 templates (14 paid, 12 free), grouped into thematic bundles like "Personal," "Freelance," and "Startup."</p><p>It started as a side project during my work as a Notion Certified Consultant. After helping clients build custom workspaces, I realized there was a scalable opportunity in turning these systems into standalone products that could help more people.</p><p>Templates are hosted on Webflow, transactions are handled through Gumroad, and are supported by email automations and a growing newsletter. The business also monetizes through sponsors in the newsletter/blog.</p><p><b>Key Highlights</b></p><ul><li>Annual Revenue: $23,436</li><li>Annual Profit: ~$21,490</li><li>Churn Rate: N/A (one-time product sales)</li><li>LTV: ~$46.87</li><li>CAC: &lt;$1 (Organic/SEO-driven acquisition)</li><li>Profit Margin: ~92%</li><li>Customers: 50,0000+ worldwide</li><li>Email List: 14,223 active</li><li>Newsletter Open Rate: 50.51%</li><li>Newsletter CTR: 3.29%</li><li>Website Traffic (Last 30 Days): 21k views</li><li>Bounce Rate: 48%</li><li>Avg Engagement Time: 37s</li></ul><p><b>Team</b></p><p>The business is fully run by a solo founder (Notion Certified Consultant). I handle product creation, customer support, newsletter writing, automation setup, and website maintenance. All processes are documented, and automations reduce daily workload to under 2 hours/week.</p><p><b>Tech Stack</b></p><ul><li>Webflow – for the marketing website and product pages</li><li>Notion – for product development and content creation</li><li>Make (Integromat) – for workflow automations (email, sales, delivery)</li><li>Beehiiv – for newsletter and list growth</li><li>Gumroad – for checkout and delivery</li><li>Google Workspace – for business email</li><li>Senja – for testimonial collection</li><li>Namecheap – for domain registration</li></ul><p><b>Marketing and Growth</b></p><ul><li>SEO / Content Marketing:Main source of traffic (organic + long-tail blog content).</li><li>Newsletter:Weekly newsletter with strong open and click rates.

That said, Notion’s user base is still growing strongly globally.</li><li>Founder Branding (Low risk):While built by a Notion consultant, the brand isn’t tightly tied to my name, making the transition easier.</li><li>No Recurring Revenue:Business is based on one-time purchases.
