How to Share Notion Pages on Social Media

Transforming your organized Notion pages into shareable content for social media is a powerful way to provide value and showcase your expertise. This guide breaks down exactly how to share your Notion pages, from creating a simple public link to turning them into visually compelling content that stops the scroll. We’ll cover the step-by-step process and best practices for making your Notion content shine on any platform.

Why Share Notion Pages on Social Media?

Before we get into the “how,” let’s touch on the “why.” Sharing Notion pages isn’t just about providing a link, it’s a strategic way to build your brand and engage your community. By sharing your meticulously organized resources, templates, and systems, you’re not just telling people you’re an expert - you’re proving it.

• Showcase Your Authority: Sharing a well-structured project plan, a detailed content calendar, or a curated resource hub instantly positions you as a knowledgeable figure in your niche.
• Provide Tangible Value: Instead of just talking about productivity, give away a free weekly planner template. Don't just list your favorite books, share a public Notion reading list complete with your notes and ratings. This gives your audience something they can use immediately.
• Build Authenticity & Trust: Offering a peek behind the curtain at how you organize your projects or run your business creates a genuine connection. People love seeing the systems that power the people they follow.
• Streamline Your Content Workflow: Notion can serve as your all-in-one content creation hub. Brainstorm ideas, write drafts, and organize visuals in one place, then use the methods below to share that content directly, saving you time and effort.

The Easiest Method: Publish and Share the Direct Link

The simplest way to share your work is by making a Notion page public and sharing its unique URL. This method is perfect for resource lists, detailed guides, portfolios, or quick-reference documents. Anyone with the link can view the page in their browser without needing a Notion account.

Step-by-Step: Making Your Notion Page Public

Follow these quick steps to get a shareable link:

1. Navigate to the Notion page you want to share. Make sure it's the top-level page, sharing a parent page will also share all of its sub-pages.
2. Click the Share button in the top-right corner of your screen.
3. In the menu that appears, click on the Publish tab.
4. Click the blue Publish button. Notion will immediately generate a public link for your page.
5. (Optional) Configure Share Settings:
   • Link expires: You can set the public link to expire after an hour, a day, a week, or on a specific date. This is great for limited-time offers or time-sensitive information.
   • Allow editing: This is rarely recommended for public shares, as anyone with the link could change your content. Keep this turned off unless you have a specific collaborative reason.
   • Allow comments: This is a fantastic way to gather feedback and engage with your audience directly on the page. Viewers who are logged into Notion can leave comments.
   • Allow duplicate as template: This is the most powerful feature for providing value. Turning this on adds a “Duplicate” button to the page, allowing others to copy your page into their own Notion workspace to use as a template. It's perfect for planners, dashboards, and checklists.
6. Click Copy Link and you're ready to share it!

Best Practices for Sharing Direct Links

Just dropping a raw link isn’t enough. To make your shared page truly effective on social media, follow these tips:

• Design for a Public Audience: Before you publish, clean up your page. Remove any personal notes, messy drafts, or backend databases that aren't relevant to the public. Use headers, callout boxes, and columns to make the content easy to read and visually appealing.
• Add a Header and Icon: The page icon and cover image are what social media platforms often use to generate a link preview. A professional, clean header image will make your link look much more enticing when it appears in a feed.
• Shorten Your URL: A long Notion URL can look clunky. Use a service like Bitly or TinyURL to create a shorter, cleaner link that’s easier to share and track clicks on.
• Write a Compelling Introduction: On your social post, don't just say, "Here's my resource list." Instead, frame the value. For example: "I've spent 40+ hours curating the top 100 free marketing tools so you don't have to. Get the entire list, organized by category, right here 👇."

Level Up: Creating Visual Content from Your Notion Pages

While direct links are useful, they aren’t always the best at stopping the endless scroll on visual platforms like Instagram. The solution is to transform your Notion content into native social media assets like graphics, carousels, and videos. This approach grabs attention first and then directs people to the full resource.

Method 1: The Screenshot Carousel

A screenshot carousel is an excellent format for showcasing a Notion template or a structured document on Instagram and LinkedIn. It walks your audience through the page's features, giving them a practical preview of its value.

How to Create One:

1. Design Your Page for Slicing: Organize your Notion page in logical, visually distinct sections that can serve as individual slides. Use banners, large headings, and callout blocks to create clear breaks.
2. Capture High-Quality Screenshots: Use your computer's built-in screenshot tool (Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac, Snipping Tool on Windows) to capture clean shots of each section. For longer pages, a browser extension like GoFullPage can capture the entire page, which you can then crop into pieces.
3. Enhance in a Design Tool: Import your screenshots into a user-friendly tool like Canva. Place each screenshot onto a correctly sized template (1080x1080 for a square post or 1080x1350 for a vertical one). Add a title slide, include annotations or callouts to highlight key features, and finish with a call-to-action slide that tells people to visit the link in bio for the template.
4. Tell a Story with Your Caption: Write a caption that guides your audience through the carousel. For example: "Slide 1: My all-in-one project dashboard. Slide 2: How I track every task by priority. Slide 3: The Gannt chart view that keeps my deadlines straight..."

Method 2: The Screen-Recorded Tutorial or GIF

Video is the most engaging content format on social media. A short screen recording of you interacting with a Notion page - like ticking off checklist items or sorting a database - can be far more compelling than a static image.

How to Create One:

1. Plan Your Shot: Decide what specific action you want to show. It should be quick, clear, and satisfying. For a weekly planner, you might record yourself dragging a task from "To-Do" to "Done."
2. Record Your Screen: Use a tool like Loom, Kap, or your computer's built-in screen recorder (QuickTime on Mac, Xbox Game Bar on Windows) to capture the action. Keep it short - under 15 seconds is ideal for Reels, Shorts, and TikToks. You don't need audio for this to be effective.
3. Format for Social: Edit your video to fit the vertical 9:16 aspect ratio. Add text overlays explaining what is happening (e.g., "Plan your week in 5 minutes"). You can even add a trending audio track to boost reach on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
4. Share with a Clear CTA: In your caption, explain the value of the template shown in the video and direct viewers to the link in your bio to download it for themselves.

Method 3: Repurposing Insights into Graphics

Sometimes, the value of your Notion page is the information within it, not the template itself. Extracting key points, stats, or quotes and turning them into shareable graphics is a fantastic way to repurpose your knowledge.

How to Do It:

1. Identify Atomic "Nuggets" of Information: Scan your Notion Doc for shareable tidbits: a powerful quote, a startling statistic from your research, a 3-step process, or a list of "do's and don'ts."
2. Create Branded Graphics: Head to a tool like Canva or Figma and design simple, clean graphics around each nugget of information. Stick to your brand's fonts and colors to maintain consistency. Make the text large and easy to read.
3. Post as a Carousel or Series: You can turn these graphics into an informative carousel post (e.g., "5 Mistakes to Avoid When Planning Your Content") or post them as a series of individual tips throughout the week.
4. Link Back to the Source: In your caption, always mention that this tip comes from your more comprehensive guide or resource hub, and invite your audience to get the full story via the link in your bio.
