$200K in 3 Years Helping People With Notion

Molly Jones is a Notion consultant who recently tweeted…

As a Certified Consultant, I’ve earned over $200,000 working part-time, prioritizing flexibility over money.

She started in 2020, so that’s $200K over ~3 years 🤑

In case you’re unfamiliar, Notion is a popular productivity and note-taking app.

Sounds like Molly taught herself how to use Notion, then started picking up freelance work…

I came across my first client by accident. There were hardly any people doing Notion Consulting and a girl in a Facebook group just asked if anyone knew anything about Notion. We started talking and I made her an epic workspace for Pennie’s on the dollar and the rest was history!

💬 She also tweets…

within 5 months I made my first $10k/month on client work.

At some point Molly got certified as a Notion Consultant, and now most of her clients come via the Notion Consulting Partners directory…

When I first started I was all about niching to help me FIND clients (design and creative studios were my jam). Now I let the clients come to me (via the certified directory) and I choose not based on industry but who I feel most aligned with

You can see Molly’s directory profile here.

It’s worth noting that, as of this writing, there are only 66 partners listed in the entire directory. And apparently there are ~30 million Notion users, including ~4 million paid users.

So there’s room for plenty more certified consultants methinks 🔥

Molly’s advice for working as a Notion consultant…

Don’t take on more than you can handle. I had dreams of building the Notion Consulting empire, hiring loads of help and taking on more than I needed. It’s actually quite easy to run your consultancy with a small team (or by yourself) and easily take in $10k months.

And…

Avoid overcomplicating your build. While you might believe that the client wants all the fancy features & tricks you know, if they are new to @notionhq, it’s best to keep things simple. 

I like Molly’s approach of learning how to use some complicated software and then offering to help others as a consultant 😎

Are you already a power-user of certain software?

Or is there software you’d enjoy mastering? 🤔

If so, you could try doing something similar to Molly and co.

Probably worth prioritizing software that has some kind of certification you can get, and a directory for certified consultants so clients can find you easily 🎯
