Who Are We?

NotionNewbie.org is a member‑driven community of volunteers with a single mission: to help each other use and understand Notion better. Every Notion Newbie is a volunteer— whether you join to learn, to teach, or to help organize.

Membership Dues:

Your dues fund the physical foundation that allows members to help other members — directly, consistently, and meaningfully.
Our monthly dues do more than grant access — they keep the circle going.
Membership fees are intentionally low, so no one’s left out, yet also allow us modestly reward our Pro-Members when they help our learning volunteers.

This is the fee structure for the First 100 Members (ONLY!)

  • To Join
    • $99.99
  • To Onboard (Once accepted)
    • Account Set up
      • $19.98 (First payment: Includes First and Last month)
      • $9.99 — Monthly (ongoing)
      • From there you have full access to member support and services.
      • No hidden fees or upsells allowed.

How Member Support Works

  • If you need help with Notion, we are here to help.
  • Once a member, you have a variety of support options depending on your need.
  • Easiest and most direct is to schedule a live Zoom meeting.
  • Email support is available.
  • A forum is available.

Where doe the money go?

Member dues are split. 50-50
  • Half goes to management. Half is returned back to members.
  • Both sides contribute 50% to shared operating expenses and distribute the rest as they see fit.
  • Expenses are co-shared between management and members as much as possible.
  • Whoever’s not happy can complain.
