Common Mistakes on r/Notion
Avoid these pitfalls that get marketers banned or ignored.
Template spam in main feed
Template promotion has designated threads. Posting templates in the main feed violates rules.
Instead
Use template threads for promotion. In main feed, share the concepts and process behind your template.
Promoting competing tools
This is a Notion-focused community. Direct promotion of alternatives is unwelcome.
Instead
If your tool integrates with Notion, frame it as extending Notion: "Adds [capability] to your Notion workspace."
Screenshots without explanation
Beautiful setups get attention, but the community wants to learn. Screenshots without process feel shallow.
Instead
Explain your setup: "Here's my system for [use case]. The structure: [explanation]. Key formulas: [details]."
Overly complex solutions to simple problems
Elegance matters. Rube Goldberg machines aren't impressive when simpler solutions exist.
Instead
Show appropriate complexity: "This could be simpler, but I needed [specific requirement] which led to this approach."
Ignoring mobile experience
Many users access Notion on mobile. Setups that break on mobile aren't fully thought through.
Instead
Address mobile: "Works on mobile too. Had to adjust [element] for smaller screens."
