Your 2024 Notion Wrapped

Hey — it’s Rames

Today marks the final day of 2024. I was tempted to write a classic issue filled with Notion updates, tips, and resources—but instead, I want to do something a little different.

Oh, and there’s a small hidden surprise, so stick till’ the end 😉

We’ve come a long way…

First off, thank you for being here and reading 3-2-1: Notion! This newsletter has been a part of my life for nearly two years now, and what a journey it’s been.

Some of you may remember when it looked a little something like this:

I hope you like today’s design better, although the structure hasn’t changed much 😅

Stats

The newsletter has grown a lot since those early days. Here’s where we’re at now:

• 10,227 subscribers

• 64.94% open rate

• 2.63% click rate

Recently, I did a big clean-up to remove unengaged subscribers. Watching the list drop from ~16k to 10k was nerve-wracking, but it feels great to know that almost everyone reading now is actually engaged. Sometimes, a little “degrowth” is just what you need.

Sponsors

This year brought another milestone: sponsors! They’ve been a big help in covering the costs of running this newsletter (Beehiiv isn’t cheap).

I know ads aren’t the most exciting thing to see, but every click makes a difference—it shows sponsors that 3-2-1 has an engaged audience, builds trust, and helps me secure future collaborations.

I also do my best to feature sponsors that align with your interests, like Notion and no-code tools. If you’re curious about working together, you can find more info here.

Make With James

In September, I launched Make With James, a more personal newsletter (yes, I really do love newsletters). I have big plans for this one, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• An essay on an interesting topic (psychology, productivity, etc.)

• Tools & Websites: two cool digital tools and one stunning website

• James’ Library: articles, books, or videos that inspired me that week

• Aesthetic Corner: beautiful objects, physical products, or art

• Sustainable Living: a standout project focused on sustainability

If that sounds like your vibe, it would mean the world if you subscribed. Thank you in advance for your support!
