3/ How it works
It’s super simple.

4/ I love this as a side project
Whether you’ve got a full-time job, or you’re running a bigger business, this could be an easy side project to:
(1) make some money selling knowledge you already have, and
(2) grow your audience by helping others

5/ You’re just selling your notes
Do you already take notes / do some writing for yourself?
This project is essentially just open-sourcing your notes.
I realize there's more work than this... BUT, the expectation you'll open-source your notes is motivation to write better!

6/ Quick validation
As long as you’re an “expert” in some small, specialized topic, you could start selling & validating in a few days.
And even better, your “wiki” is a work in progress - it's updated as you go.
As you promote and sell, you can make the content better.

7/ It’s “open source”
What I also like about this project is that it has the benefits of open source.
By using a tool like Notion, you can invite friends, collaborators, and more experts to improve the content.

8/ Easy to repurpose content
Don’t have an audience? Well, the content of the wiki will build your audience.
Take your notes (or the pages) and repurpose them to YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, or even when someone emails you a question about XYZ.

9/ It’s a good SEO play
And lastly, you can have lasting sales with SEO.
You can convert your Notion project to a website with something like @super_
Customers can find the content directly through search engines and then buy the product to get the “full suite”.

P.S. Thanks for the tip @csallen. I heard this idea on the latest @IndieHackers podcast.
