This week's entire episode is devoted to an incredible tool for copywriters (although, I'm quite certain it was not built exclusively for us) – Notion.
Notion is one of those things I was “sort of” familiar with… I knew it was some sort of workspace management system, but I had no idea how much it could be tailored to copywriting and content creation until I got a look at how Cliff Ravenscraft was using it.
I'm not easily impressed these days, and I certainly don't feel the need to learn a new app just because it's popular. This app, however, is worth some effort. I invited Cliff to share with us how he's using Notion to quickly create and manage incredible content that serves his listeners and clients.
