Offers roadmap template for free via Notion

Product placement

Notion: it is used to host a "24 week job ready front end roadmap" that the creator offers for free. Removing it would mean the roadmap has no visible home. The creator also mentions that the roadmap can be copied into Notion, implying it's a template within the Notion platform. This means Notion ACTS as the platform for the roadmap. The roadmap itself is the subject. The creator's Instagram profile is also visible, which is likely used for promotion, but it's not explicitly stated that it's the product being sold. The creator's bio link is to their Instagram, which is not the product itself but a promotional channel.
