How I built an authority with Notion

Dec 20, 2024

I work at Hive School, which is India’s First Sales School. I also create content on my YouTube where I share my processes and learnings.

Every Friday, in this newsletter, I share my process, thoughts, stories, ideas, and weekly recommendations.

Using Notion helped me get multiple opportunities and create authority.

When I started creating YouTube videos, I began by managing everything in a notebook, from writing ideas to scripting until the end.

But then, I saw creators like Ali Abdaal, Thomas Frank, and Matt D'Avella using Notion for their personal lives and content creation, and I started using it. It has been a great decision, as it has streamlined my content-creation process.

When I started learning Notion, I started creating templates, listing and selling them.

I created a bunch of Notion projects like a personal website, content management templates, resource guides, and some databases like Great Minds and Weekly Recommendations.

I was very active in the Fueler Community as well around Notion and No-Code. This was the time as well when I was featured on their website for ‘No-Code Maker’.

Then, last year, I Interned at

Vensy Krishna

’s startup ‘Build Academy’. She is the Notion India Ambassador.

Since I was very interested in Notion, I took Notion 101 sessions for communities like MarkitUp (Ishan Sharma’s company, which is a content creator) and another session for Masters’ Union.

One of the attendees from the Masters’ Union session referred me to Nikhil (Co-Founder of HiveSchool), and I joined HiveSchool as a founding member.

After seeing all my work here, I also became a Notion mentor at Era of No Code. From learning Notion a few months ago to being a mentor was a great journey.

In his book Authority, Nathan Barry (Founder of Kit, formerly ConvertKit) says, ‘Teach everything you know.’ An expert doesn’t really know how they started, but a beginner knows the ground realities and knows how to teach the ‘start’.

Whatever you are doing, start documenting it on the internet and start teaching. Then leverage it a lot in the future.
