Insights from notionvideos.com

Before starting this newsletter , I seriously argued with myself that one more news letter will only add to the digital pollution that is growing exponentially in the world . However I convinced myself that notionvideos.com requires a news letter to share insights and have meaningful interaction with notion users and publishers . notionvideos.com curates notion.so videos on a daily basis from youtube.com . This effort is purely dedicated to the millions of learners and thousands of teachers in youtube.com who have created a thriving digital world where everything is shared freely , openly and transparently .

I am starting with 30 subscribers , who have kindly registered to receive the newsletter . I express my sincere gratitude to my initial subscribers who have motivated me to start this newsletter. One of the key objectives of this newsletter is to discover the amazing notion.so content , work and talent that some of the not so well know publishers produce. If you happen to come across such people , do refer them here .
