17 Notion Templates For Freelancers [2024]

Running a freelance business is, above most other things, about staying on top of multiple threads at once. Finding leads, running client projects, tracking finances; content marketing, social media, to-dos—freelancing is a multi-headed beast that really only becomes rewarding once you find a system to tame the experience.

Using Notion to run my freelancing business was honestly a game-changer. It let me feel like I was on top of everything for the first time (whether or not that was always entirely the case 😅).

So, in this post, I'll share 17 Notion Templates that you can add and integrate into your own workspace to help you reach that feeling of sweet organization in your freelancing business.

And, if you're interested in trying out the very same Notion OS that I used to grow my freelancing business, you can learn more about Freelancer OS here.
