I've watched several Notion tutorials recently & I've found most of them overwhelming. This is by far my favorite! Hope you do more Notion videos soon. Thanks!

This tutorial is incredibly helpful for anyone brand new to Notion. 10/10 would recommend giving this a watch. Kevin focuses on the basics and breaks it down so that concepts are easy to understand and/or follow along. Thanks, Kevin!

[WWEbest]

First video I watch from you, I can tell the skill you've got for breaking systems down to understandable and actionable steps. Congrats dude, you do an amazing job!

[AureliusTjin]

When I see Kevin Stratvert, I click and watch 👌🔥

[theonlybenbaker]

This by far the best Notion explainer for beginners. Everyone else just hops to adding icons and stuff without even explaining the layout of Notion. Thank you! You get it!

[KarinaStavenes]

Kevin, thank you so much! I learned far more from you in a half hour than from watching multiple videos by a popular, leading Notion content creator. You may keep the premise and the data simple, but you show how to actually enter data and use functions, rather than showing gibberish typing, so this is very much appreciated. Thank you for excellent videos, every time!

[truekhepra]

The best video I’ve seen for beginners ..No BS, no fluff, no wack jokes, no complex unnecessary stuff etc. Thank you!

[sherilynntellis]

Hey Kevin, after going through countless videos on Notion that just left me more confused than before, this video was an absolute life saver! Kudos on putting forward the most concise, straightforward how-to Notion guide! You've just saved me alot of time!

This is an incredibly helpful tutorial. I'm not a very tech savvy person and, while I adore the concept of Notion for life and business tracking purposes, I wasn't really sure it would be worth the effort of learning how to operate the program but this tutorial is extremely in-depth, answered every question and was very easy to follow!

[dheerajsinghnagdali]

I don't have words to explain how simple you have made this tutorial.

[graceharney]

I have tried so many times to learn how to use notion, I see it has incredible potential but I have been struggling to understand the interface. Your video is packed with information without being overwhelming, thank you so much for this! I learned so much and I have used notion I the past (just never set it up for my own business)

[KatiKay]

I have gone through several Notion tutorial videos and I have been feeling so overwhelmed and still not sure if I wanted to use it or not. Here you are, explaining everything so well and logically, that now I actually feel excited to get started with it. Thank you! :)

[aniqbai]

Man. i love how u arrange the flow of what you wanna show us. So easy to understand and not overwhelming at all. Really great man. Subscribed. Best so far.

[MagalyxoAllStar]

Yes, this is perfect! Thank you so much. I am starting my YouTube channel and have seen that many creators use notion to plan videos, however every tutorial I've seen the user has it already filled with tons of notes so it got very confusing. I needed a step-by-step right from when you have a blank page and this was it. You rock.

[TheBuschline]

Thank you for sharing your talent and ability to break down content as concise and clearly as you have here! But that voice! 👌

[metagnostiker]

Never had so much fun going along with a tutorial! You did a really good job introducing all the relevant steps in practical order, while integrating them seamlessly into a simple story. Very well done, thank you!

[coffeebeforemascara]

Kevin! I'm not even 5 minutes in and I have to stop and say that you're tutorial tempo and cadence of talk and explanation is absolutely on point ❤. It's just perfectly slow enough to understand everything you're saying. And I love the blue circle that envelopes your mouse pointer because it makes it so much easier for me to follow along With where you're clicking. I'm doing this along with you on my computer while I play your video. I am so excited about this tool! I am going to begin by asking notion to help me write some letters I'm sure I'm going to have to tailor my prompts with the detail that I need to refer to in the letter but I know that this is gonna be such a huge game changer for me.

Wow! Best beginner tutorial for Notion. Great job, Kevin! Notion is an incredibly customizable app to organize and manage your life, your project, your business....

[brianmclean]

I am just starting with Notion and found your video lesson incredibly well organized and clear. In addition I do like your overall tone. Glad that you go into the database component. It was interesting to compare that in Notion with a traditional database such as Access or Filemaker Pro, both of which I use.
