I'm also an SE, but with a background in marketing. At the same time, I find it difficult to switch gears. One thing I find can work is to set 1 day marketing only, no code, or other similar restrictions so that I focus on that.

Pricing isn't hard, but it can be hard.

I'd love to help you out, but because I don't understand the use case enough, I don't think I'd be a valuable resource.

I've used Notion databases, but didn't even realize what it was.

Do people join just one Notion database to one google sheet? Or is it multiple? Is it really about sharing data between the two? Is Notion the starting point? Or is Sheets the start?

Are you targeting people who want more power from Google sheets (sharing the data in a way that is more consumable), or do they in Notion, and find themselves copying data from Google sheets. It's a subtle difference, but an important one for marketing.

Again, this comes down to what is the best use case you can find to describe what people do. Do you have a trend that you have seen with how most users are using your product? As in, they have a forecast in sheets, and want to link that up with data about the products they're selling which they have in a notion database, as an example? Or they have their marketing plan in Notion, and the tracking data in google sheets, and they want a way to display them all together?

This sort of thing should help you tell a clearer story for people like me that "almost" get it, but not quite.

Once you know those details, that can help you understand the customer user, and how many databases/sheets the customer may have. That helps you segment who you are targeting, what they care about, and what they understand so you can appeal to their pricing needs.

Does that make sense?

Notion is the starting point, having your data in Sheets opens possibilities of integrations that you cannot do with just Notion, so to answer the question, people that want more power from Google Sheets.

The most common user story is:

1) User uses Notion for personal use or is part of a business or organization workspace.

2) Already has databases in the workspace for different purposes, projects, tasks, leads, expenses, backlog, sprints, HR candidates, employees, etc. Notion has a list of customers and use cases that it is quite insightful here -> https://www.notion.so/customers

3) Now the journey separates in different stories:

  - Have a copy of Notion databases as backup.

  - Use Notion databases data as input to other services, and uses Sheets as the middle men.

  - Do business intelligence from Notion databases, you can use Google Data Studio for example.

  - Have charts from their Notion databases and embed them back in Notion.

  - Show summarized information and statistics from Notion databases in a page.

  - Share data from a database without giving access or sharing the entire database or page.

  - Get third party data into Sheets and then from there to Notion.

  - Use Sheets formulas that are not available in Notion, like GOOGLEFINANCE, IMPORTXML to scrape data, etc and have that data available in Notion.

So most of the time if not all, is having Google Sheets as a middle point to then enable the usage of not only Sheets features, but also all the integrations that are built around it. The value of Notion2Sheets is unlocking that.

Something to keep in mind, there are 2 hard limits:

  Sheets -> 100 request in 100 seconds per user.

  Notion -> 3 request in 1 second per workspace.
