In the month of June 2020 the number of videos uploaded in youtube.com on notion.so crossed 100. It is a likely signal and indication that Notion is emerging as a category leader in the personal and team productivity software segment in the industry.

A growing number of professionals have started doing a series of production ( like the netflix TV series ) on notion.so . The quality and content of some of the producers is of a tall order and there is a growing interest both from newbies and experienced users of Notion to learn and share how they are using Notion for several activities . It is also interesting to note that several users proudly declare that their lives have been transformed after they started using notion.so .

This is one of the unique features of Notion as a product. The creators have built a tool which puts power in the hands of their users to innovate and make the tool even more effective . As more and more people engage in discovering how they could apply the tool to their particular situation , there is a growing interest from business users and individuals to improve their overall productivity.

Youtube.com is the google for videos. One can easily find videos on almost any topic and you can hit upon a large number of videos - some current some old , some relevant and some not in the specific context. Notion is a classic example of how videos help in dissemination of information and growing a global user base. The number of videos shown in the above graph are only in English language . If you take the other languages like Japanese , Korean , Spanish etc the total number of videos will be much higher. As per last reports , notion.so has over 4 million users. This must have grown significantly since the lockdown . The company also announced that the software would be free for all students and educational institutions. As a strategy, this would be extremely favourable to the company in the long run. Interesting to note that several students (including those from medicine and nursing) have posted videos on how notion helps them in their studies and preparations. With Notion any company can easily create wiki pages , blogs and many other standard applications that are easy to implement through templates provided by the company . The community has also created and shared several templates for multifarious functions and one can just copy a template and start using it immediately.

A look at the videos published

According to the raw data available in the first half of 2020 , Notion ( the company) published 64 videos , while the community has uploaded 332 videos .This means that just about 16% of the videos have been published by the company directly and maybe another 4 % by commissioning subject matter experts ( Like Dr. Ali Abdal ) . The balance 80% videos have all be published by the community. Some of the videos are from first time users and are not that professional as the others.Overall the videos serve their purpose of communicating how to get things done using notion.
