As soon as i clicked on the vid i got a wave of nostalgia bc i hadn't realised how much i've missed you on the main channel. Since i don't use Notion much i wasn't tuning in most of these videos but man you bet i'm going to devour the hell out of this tutorial bc god knows we can all use a good portfolio & i had never thought about Notion for it. Thanks for all the great help & resources you in reach for us mortals.
The fact that you used your own work for the portfolio was actually motivating, it's still quite hard for me to promote my own work so I hope I can get at least have that kind of confidence or love for my own work, love the informative tutorial as well with you explaining everything and why you design the layout a certain way, as well as share free alternative tools
Having Notion as a portfolio is a life saver and less time consuming. This is the dawn of new job hiring that instead of coding or designing the webpage for your portfolio, Notion is much simpler and have this minimalistic design for yourself to edit.
If we decide to go this route, how do we deal with a domain email address for email marketing? What options are there if you have a free Notion website to have a domain email address? Would it be a 3rd party email provider?
Yes, and I ALWAYS recommend doing it this way. Even if you’re not using Notion, I would never recommend using the same service for site hosting and email. Instead use something like Google Workspace and set up your DNS with mx records as needed
Watched this because interested in using Notion as a website/blog… but after checking out your website, it looks like some of the content is unavailable if the website visitor doesn’t have the app? For example, the table of contents aka : “open me“ is not clickable on my device…
Ha! I'm aiming to not do up-front sponsorships on this channel, though I'd be open to being an affiliate for those platforms. I personally use Notaku and quite like it, and I've seen some really great sites built on Super and Potion.
Hi Thomas, Really great tutorial. I have learnt a lot. But there is some issue happening with me. I have opened your notion on PC and mobile both and it looks the same on both. But In my case My mobile notion website messed up. It sucks. Please reply me if there is solution.
Thankyou for the video. It helped me create my portfolio, but my published page by default shows Light mode even when i send others, i know cntrl +shift+ L will fix it, but is there any other solution?
great content, im working on 2 portfolio in notion and would definitely take note of this. However is the button feature isntn't avaiable back when you created this? So instead of creating a long landing page, why dont you section it per page and create a button to link them all together.
Buttons could likely work for that purpose! You could also just use links; you don't actually need to create buttons just to connect multiple pages. For this video, I intentionally kept the site to one page just to keep things simple for people following along.
Great Teaching- Thank you, but I am missing the link in the desc for KaTex sources that you mentioned at timestamp 14:53. Could you please add them? I learnt sooo much Notion from your RU-vids that I love making templates more than using them in my life. *GG
Hi Thomas, my notion site is now public but when I use my copied link from the "share" button, it always takes me to a "Continue to external site by following the link below" warning first before going to my notion site. I noticed that your page doesn't have this issue. Was there anything you did to prevent this from happening? Thank you for the amazing tutorial!
Hi Thomas, thanks a lot for this! This is is pretty cool & I would like to thank you for your amazing content, it really is extremely useful! Second, I was wondering if you have any solutions to the following three problems: 1-Is it possible to create a dynamic ranking system? For example, ranking pages in a database from 1 to 10, where every time I change a number it automatically updates the rest of the numbers. 2-Is there a way to automate the use of icons in notion (or batch apply templates to existing pages)? I have a database of articles in notion, but unfortunately they already have text inside, which means that it's very time consuming to have to apply the template button with my preferred icon. Is there are a way to "apply all" to existing pages and use a specific icon for multiple pages at once? 3-I created a relation property between two pages, in particular between book titles & book authors. However, I already have the book author property filled but in text form & I want to copy all the data from text form into the relations property, is there a way to automatically do this as I have more than a 1000 authors? Thanks a lot!
Nope, Notion hosts it 🙂 Honestly at this point, I think Notion is the best tool for making a really simple and quick site. We don’t have custom domains or powerful design tools yet, but I think for a lot of people, they would simply not make a website if they felt they had to worry about that stuff right away.
Hey Thomas. First: Thanks for your amazing Work. I'm really enjoy Notion but with your help I learned to love it ;) Just one Question: I'm using your ULTIMATE SECOND BRAIN Template. And when I'm sharing a page to the web the content does not show. I guess because of the linked Database stuff. Is there a way to fix this? I will ask this in the circle as well. Just wanna let you know that all the way to germany we are watching your content ;)
Hey Kay! Sorry for the late reply, RU-vid was hiding all my comments. Just had to send them a bug report about it. That issue is happening because the underlying database isn't shared to the web. So people can get to the page you shared, but the database rows aren't publicly available. If you share the source database too, everything should work!
I've worked in video as an editor and director for 25 years. I don't know any editors that don't know how to edit for RU-vid. Where does that 99% number come from?
Experience talking with many, many established RU-vidrs who have tried to hire editors, as well as hiring editors myself. Most truly do not have work in their portfolio that demonstrates specific ability to edit for social channels. When I hired my editor, I got maybe two applications from from people with social/YT experience, and over a hundred that linked to only corporate work.
@@ThomasFrankExplains Sorry. That makes no sense Ability to edit for social media ? It’s a red herring. Any qualified pro commercial editor can do it. 99% can’t do it?
You can make individual pages public on the free plan. I have several Free Plan workspaces with public pages; in fact, the demo for my Ultimate Brain template is on a free workspace. What the $8/month gets you is a public home page and a notion.site domain. Here's the URL of the page I built in this video: thomas-experimental.notion.site/Thomas-Frank-Internet-Video-Editor-b9dd8e36eb184bf197f094120ed071dc This is on a free-plan workspace.
