The Biggest Struggles Notion Creators Face (And How to Overcome Them)

If you’re a Notion creator, you know the journey isn’t as simple as just building templates and sharing them. Running a Notion business comes with a unique set of challenges, ones that often go unspoken. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your digital products, staying organized and managing all the moving parts can feel overwhelming.

Let’s break down some of the biggest struggles Notion creators face and how you can finally take control.

1. Juggling Multiple Products & Updates

Notion templates are never truly “finished.” Whether it’s improving functionality, responding to customer feedback, or launching new versions, keeping track of every product update is a challenge. Without a structured system, it’s easy to lose track of what needs updating and when.

How to fix it: Have a central place to store product details, changelogs, and upcoming updates. This way, you always know the status of each template and can improve them systematically.

2. Managing Multiple Sales Channels & Discounts

Selling on platforms like Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, or Notion Marketplace? Keeping track of product listings, pricing strategies, and discounts across multiple storefronts can quickly become a mess. It’s frustrating to update prices on different platforms without a clear system.

How to fix it: Create a dedicated space where you track each storefront, discounts, and revenue, so you always have a bird’s-eye view of your sales performance.

3. Keeping Up With Content Creation

Notion creators aren’t just product builders; they’re also marketers. Social media, blog posts, email newsletters - content creation is key to growing your audience. But staying consistent while managing everything else can be a struggle.

How to fix it: Have a structured system for planning and scheduling your content. Organizing ideas, tracking performance, and setting deadlines helps you stay on top of your marketing.

4. Staying Connected With Your Audience

Manually tracking emails to past customers, subscribers, and your newsletter list can be overwhelming.

How to fix it: Have a structured system for scheduling and storing your emails. Track data like click engagement as well as open rate to increase your conversion rate.

5. Tracking Revenue & Expenses

One of the biggest pitfalls Notion creators face is treating their Notion business as a side project rather than a real business. Keeping track of revenue streams, expenses, and overall profitability is essential for growth.

How to fix it: Use a structured finance tracker where you log revenue, costs, and payouts across all platforms. Understanding your numbers will help you make smarter business decisions.
