Who is Easlo and What is he Known for?

On Twitter, his primary platform, he is known for his expertise in the No Code and Audience Building niche.

Which Side Hustle Made Him over $100k and How?
Easlo makes money creating and selling Notion Templates like Habit Tracker, Task Manager, Reading Tracker and several others.
Over the span of 14 months, he has hit $100k selling Notion Templates via a digital selling platform known as Gumroad.
Here’s a breakdown of how he turned his side hustle into a $100k business.
- Validation : Rather than creating random products, he decided to validate it first by asking around people in various groups and communities. This gave him a better idea about the kind of products he needed to make.
- Creation : He created his Digital Products inside Notion — a Product Management tool. A tool like Notion started receiving a lot of demand since the past few years :
1) because of its simplicity
2) because of its potential
He decided to jump in and served people with the most in-demand products.
- Launch and Promotion : Easlo listed his Notion Templates on platforms like Gumroad, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, Prototion and promoted them on Twitter and in some other communities.
Special Mention : I’ve noticed him refer to how he used the “pay what you want” feature on Gumroad to get started and how people would pay him even on his free products, willingly.
