This is a time when more readers than usual gather on note, and purchase rates are higher.
Especially during the New Year, promoting articles you posted in the past as a New Year's sale makes it easier to capture the interest of audiences you haven't reached before.
Furthermore, we are holding a campaign where articles that use the time-limited sale feature and include the hashtag “#NewYearsSaleNote” will bemore likely to be selected by the note editorial team as “Featured Articles”!If selected, they will be featured in the “
Today's Featured Articles” area on note.
Whether it's a newly posted article or one from the past, now is your chance to sell!
We look forward to your posts.
What kind of articles are recommended for time-limited sales?
-
Seasonal articles
For example... themes that see increased demand from the start of the year, such as entrepreneurship/side hustles, dieting, and exam preparation.
Articles in formats like “Tips Summary” or “Recommended Selections” allow readers to obtain information efficiently and are more likely to meet their needs.
-
Articles that were widely read or sold well in 2025
The fact that they were widely read or sold well means they are articles that many people are interested in. By putting them on a time-limited sale and delivering them to readers again, there is a possibility that new readers will discover them.
To help people notice your past articles, we recommend posting on note or social media to let readers know, “I am running a time-limited sale on this article.”

Enhance your free-to-read area
Make the free area that makes readers think 'I want to know what happens next'. Setting a table of contents is also recommended as it makes the entire article easier to understand before purchase.
