đ Template Description
Stop Juggling Tools. Start Working Faster.
Tired of shoving ideas in Evernote, managing projects in Todoist, and tracking completed projects in Google Sheets?
Creator's Companion turns Notion into your central tool for creating and more.
No more jumping between different tools for writing scripts, collecting ideas, and managing tasks. Creatorâs Companion is an advanced, expansive template that turns Notion into a truly all-in-one tool for managing your content creation process.
Capture ideas and prioritize the best ones, plan your editorial calendar, collect research, write scripts, optimize for SEO, analyze content performance, and even manage your brand deals from one place.
Plus, with optional integration with the Ultimate Tasks template, you get a full-fledged task & project manager built into every content project.
When your whole process happens in Notion, you work faster as a result.
Hi, Iâm Thomas Frank, and Iâve been a full-time YouTuber, podcaster, and blogger for more than 8 years.
Together with my team, Iâve built a YouTube channel with over 2.4 million subscribers and 136 million views, a blog with 400k monthly visitors, and a long-running podcast.
In 2018, I stumbled across Notion after spending years juggling multiple apps to manage our content process.
Over time, we started using Notion for more and more â replacing other note-taking apps, task managers, and spreadsheets we used in the past. Today, we use Notion for the entire content creation process across 5 active web properties.
Creatorâs Companion is the exact system my team and I use to manage all of our channels today. Itâs the product of over three years of real-world use and testing.
đĄ Capture EVERY Idea
Never lose an idea for a video or blog post. The Idea view lets you quickly capture and organize all of your content ideas.
If you havenât worked on an idea in a while, it automatically goes to a safe archive. No more adding new ideas to a list three miles long.
With the Audience Submissions form, you can even let your audience submit ideas using Notionâs integration with Typeform or Google Forms (via Zapier).
đ Get MORE Views
The three keys to crafting a successful video are title, thumbnail, and topic.
Not every idea is created equal â so if you want to get more views and waste less time on ideas that donât work, you need to validate your ideas.
Validation view helps you figure out which ideas are worth the investment of your time and effort. Then, you can see only your best ideas in one place and prioritize them intelligently.
đ Get ORGANIZED
Creatorâs Companion helps you build a content pipeline, helping you stay on top of every project and publish more (while keeping your content quality high).
Project Manager view shows you the status of every project across all your channels, and lets you easily manage your content calendar.
đ Build an ARCHIVE
Need to reference an old script? Want to see every video sponsored by a certain brand? Trying to remember when you took a certain piece of b-roll?
Other project management apps donât do a good job at turning your finished projects into a library.
Notion excels at that job, and Creatorâs Companion uses to Notion to add your finished projects to a useful, per-channel archive.
Tutorials and Support
It's dangerous to go alone! Fortunately, you won't have to.
Creatorâs Companion includes exclusive access to a private support community on Circle.
In the Tutorials section, youâll find a full quick-start guide with videos showing you exactly how to set up your channels, capture ideas, and start producing content.
Youâll also find in-depth reference videos explaining every part of the template. Iâm not marketing it as a Notion course, but it might as well be.
You can also get answers to your questions in our Support section, add suggestions for improvements, and swap ideas with fellow creators.
