Notion for YouTube Creators: Easily Manage Your Creative Projects

via Skillshare

Overview

Create a customized Notion system for YouTube video production!

This class is for creatives who want to take their productivity to the next level with Notion.

Notion is a customizable workspace app that allows you to store and organize information, plan projects, write docs, collect inspiration, and collaborate with others. 

Whether you’re a solo creator trying to manage the many aspects of publishing videos, a video producer looking for a centralized production hub, or a Notion newbie interested in exploring the app’s potential, this class is for you!

We’ll cover the fundamentals of Notion, including:

  • Using pages, blocks, and links
  • Creating an aesthetic workspace
  • Using databases, relations, rollups, and formulas
  • Filtering and sorting within database views

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Create an all-in-one content calendar that links projects to tasks and assets
  • Easily manage recurring content tasks
  • Customize databases to manage the relevant details for each piece of content
  • Use templates to automate organization and facilitate creativity
  • Use dashboards to quickly view progress over each phase of production

While this class will focus on building a Notion space for YouTube video production, you can apply these Notion design principles to any content creation format, or even to building a larger life operating system.

This class is for creatives of all Notion skill levels.

  • For beginners, we’ll be going through the building blocks of Notion to get your space set up.
  • For more advanced Notion users, the latter parts of the class will dig into using databases, relations, rollups, and dashboards to create a content management system.

My Pre-Made Notion Templates

I think building your own system is part of the fun, but if you’d like something ready to go out of the box, I’ve made several templates that you can use as a starting point.
