How to Sell Boom Cards on Teachers Pay Teachers

So, you’ve started making Boom Cards on Boom Learning and you’re enjoying it! Then you hear that other people sell Boom Cards on TPT and it’s a great way to make even more sales. Why not have two streams of income?

However, the idea of selling your decks on TPT is daunting. You have no idea how to go about it the right way.

Don’t worry, this blog post is going to outline the steps you need to take in order to sell your Boom Cards on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

Why sell on TPT?

Let’s first clarify why you need to be selling on Boom Learning AND Teachers Pay Teachers.

Here are a few reasons:

  • As great as Boom is, it’s still newer and less popular than TPT. TPT is a huge and trusted marketplace. That’s where your audience is. You want to catch teachers on TPT and lure them to Boom!
  • Like I already said, selling on Boom and TPT means two sources of income.
  • Decks can sell better on TPT than Boom. This varies from seller to seller, but it’s often the case. There are lots of reasons this happens, but all you need to know is that it does (I’d say thumbnails and video previews on TPT definitely help!).

Setting up TPT

If you don’t yet have a TPT store, you’ll need to set that up. I have many helpful posts you might want to read first about selling on TPT.

How to upload a product to teachers pay teachers

If you’ve got a TPT store and you’re good to go, then let’s talk about the upload process when it comes to Boom Cards.

How to sell Boom Cards on TPT – Credits Page

In order to sell Boom Cards on TPT, you need to create a PDF for your listing (a document that a teacher can purchase that will link them to the Boom Cards).

I create using PowerPoint and I encourage you to do the same. You need to create a credits page (which you can also use on other TPT listings that aren’t Boom Cards).

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

A credits page will:

  • Thank the buyer for purchasing
  • Remind them to follow you on TPT
  • Remind them to leave a review on TPT and get credits
  • Provide links to follow you on social media
  • Give credit to any fonts or clip art used
  • Show your terms of use

How to sell Boom Cards on TPT – Boom Links

The next page you create will have the link so that the buyer can redeem the Boom Cards. This should NOT be a written link on its own (that the buyer can easily copy and paste and share with others). You should instead take a screenshot of your deck. Insert this picture onto your document and right click in order to add a hyperlink.

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

So where do you get the link?

While you are creating your Boom deck on Boom Learning, click the ‘details’ button. Go to the ‘TPT/OTHER’ tab and tick the box to list on TPT. Click on the red ‘Secret TPT url’ and it will be highlighted. Click CTRL+C to copy it. Go to your PDF and paste the link as a hyperlink on your screenshot.

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

Underneath the linked Boom picture, you can use leftover space to upsell other Boom decks. You can also provide any info you think a buyer might need. You could explain what Boom Cards are and how they work or link to the FAQ section on Boom Learning.

What next?

Save your PowerPoint as a PDF and then you can upload it to TPT. If you’re feeling nervous about creating a TPT listing, the informative blog posts I linked above will guide you.

While creating your TPT listing, you need to include info for the buyer in your description. I remind buyers that this is not a printable resource. I answer the question, ‘What is a Boom Card?’ Then I use the information supplied by Boom answering ‘what happens when you download’. Here’s a link to the Boom FAQ page about selling on TPT if you’re looking for the things you need to mention.

Boom Card Previews

Boom Learning gives us a preview link that shows the buyer the first 4 cards of the deck.

Click the ‘details’ button on your Boom Cards. Go to the ‘TPT/OTHER’ tab and tick the box to list on TPT. Click on the green ‘Preview url’ and it will be highlighted. Click CTRL+C to copy it. You can use your TPT description to say, ‘Try this deck by checking out the preview – CLICK HERE!’ You can paste the link you took from Boom and insert it as a hyperlink on the word ‘HERE’.

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

Alternatively, you can create another PDF to share this preview link. You could do the exact same process as before. This can be uploaded in the preview section of your TPT listing. Personally, I use the PDF preview to answer FAQ instead and put my Boom preview link in my description.

Video Preview

Use a free website like ‘screencast-o-matic’ to record yourself playing the deck. Or film yourself playing the deck on an iPad. Either way, video previews can be handy at showing your deck in action (this way, buyers get to see more than 4 slides). If you have the premium TPT membership, you can upload video previews when creating your listing.

COVER AND Thumbnails

Use iPad clip art or mock-ups to create your cover and thumbnails. You can grab some affordable tablet clip art here and some mock-ups here. Create square PowerPoint slides and insert the mock-up pictures. Take screenshots of your Boom Cards and insert them on top of the iPads. Save your PowerPoint slides as JPEGs. Next, upload the pictures as covers and thumbnails on your TPT listing.

Sell Boom Cards on TPT

Finally, list your product as ‘Internet Activities’ as the product type for TPT and you’re good to go!

Pro Tip: ALWAYS double check that your Boom link is working. So, once you’ve uploaded your Boom Cards to TPT, download the PDF and check everything is in order.

For example, you might ask your students to edit their writing by checking for spelling and punctuation errors.

If so, it’s important to start doing some lesson If so, it’s important to start doing some lessons where you explicitly teach sentence structure! 

I remember teaching writing in my first year. I was teaching 3rd grade and it just never occurred to me that I need to explicitly teach students how to write a proper sentence.

But after seeing their first writing piece, I was shocked!

Do your students struggle with this too?

Cute craft idea for December! (If you’re allowed Cute craft idea for December! (If you’re allowed to do Christmas themed activities in your school).

Just grab white, red, and skin colored paper that you have in beige/brown etc. and let the students create their own Santa!

With younger students, you could cut some strips of white paper out or red triangles to help them. 

For older students, they could do it on their own! 

All the cutting and gluing is great for fine motor and I think this would make a pretty cute bulletin board! 

You could also make this craft more educational by having students write math facts or words on the beard strips!

Save this post so you don’t forget to try it 🙂

Do you want your bundles to convert to more sales? Do you want your bundles to convert to more sales? 

The key is to have really great covers, thumbnails, and descriptions. 🙌🏻

This week on the terrific teacherpreneur podcast, I chat all about making less busy covers and thumbnails. I also talk about the importance of more detailed descriptions. 

We should be making so much more effort on bundles because they are big ticket items! 💰

Let me know in the comments below, have you listened to the episode yet? I’d love to know what you thought! 

If not, will you be listening soon? 🙂

The answer is there I promise! It’s all in the d The answer is there I promise! It’s all in the data. 

Providing that you have had the resource up for a few months at least, you can usually get a bit of an idea about why it isn’t selling. 

Most of the time? It’s not selling because it’s not being seen. If you have a really low number of views, then I would suggest working on your SEO or making a new cover! Or perhaps doing some outside marketing. 

The other thing to keep an eye on is conversion rates. Does your resource have a really low conversion, say under 3%? Maybe your resource needs a new set of thumbnails or a new preview!

Either way, stop thinking that your resource is bad! It’s probably amazing and your buyers probably need it and would love it! 

It’s probably just that it’s not being seen or it’s not converting. Those are things that you do have some control over.

I challenge you to take a look at some of your worst sellers. Look at the data and see if there’s something you can tweak!

Bundle specific previews are a non negotiable! Yep Bundle specific previews are a non negotiable! Yep, I said it. 

I know, I know. You’re thinking, ‘why do I need a bundle specific preview? When someone previews my bundle, they can see all the individual previews! Why should I make all the extra effort?’ 

But here’s the thing, buyers are time poor. They don’t wanna sit and scroll through 10 individual previews, especially if they all look the same. 

A bundle specific preview allows you to give an overall big picture look at what is in a bundle. This is a really powerful sales opportunity. 

Also, bundles are a big deal. They are more expensive and we want to sell more of them! These are the listings that we should be making more effort on 🙌🏻

I think that if you want to sell more bundles, you need to make amazing bundle specific previews.

Have you been making bundle specific previews? 🙌🏻

If not, do you feel motivated now? 🔥 

Or have you not got the time? 🥲

With everything that’s been going on at TPT late With everything that’s been going on at TPT lately, I am definitely glad that I invest in my website costs and email service provider. 

Lately, I’ve been feeling a lot like I need to make sure there are things in my business that are secure.

I also invest in a bunch of other things I probably couldn’t fit in this reel! Maybe I’ll have to do a part two!

Investing is truly such a powerful thing. When I was just running a hobby/side hustle, I didn’t really invest any money. But I didn’t really grow much either. I really love nowadays treating my business like an actual business and spending money on it so it can grow!

Double tap if you feel the same! 💗

Is it just me or does it feel like everywhere we l Is it just me or does it feel like everywhere we look, there’s another algorithm that we have to compete with in this business? 😅

If it’s not TPT, it’s Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube or Pinterest! Even Google for blogging/websites.

The worst thing is they always seem to change! 🤯

It feels like you constantly have to adapt and learn more about SEO or create certain types of content that the algorithm prefers. 

It’s quite exhausting, right?! 😴 

The more I think about it, the more I realize why a lot of TPT sellers have gravitated to email marketing over the years. Because it feels like the only safe haven where you don’t have to think about algorithms! 😅

Which algorithm drives you the most crazy? 😅

• Share a freebie 🎉

It could be something that’s already in your TPT store, trust me your email list probably doesn’t know about it! It could be a sample of a paid resource that you want more sales from. The options are endless! Just don’t send too many freebies.

• Share your long-form content 💻

If you have a blog, podcast, or YouTube channel, send some of your content! It can be new or you can repurpose old things, I highly doubt your list will have seen it/remember it!

• Share some tips, hacks, tricks, or advice 👩🏼‍🏫

Think about what you are an expert in and share some value with your audience. This could be a classroom hack, teaching tip for a certain subject area, or advice for teachers in your niche!

• Share a paid resource 💰

Got a new resource in your store? Or perhaps a bundle or seasonal item that you think your audience would love right now? Be sure to send it their way so that your email list can be profitable!

Yep! This is a topic that we are diving into this week on The Terrific Teacherpreneur Podcast! 

I am talking all about the power of freebies and how they can really help to expand your reach and grow your audience 🎉

I sometimes think that freebies get a real bad rap. When actually, they have a lot of potential and can have a really powerful impact on increasing our sales.

I’ve heard so many heartbreaking stories of sell I’ve heard so many heartbreaking stories of sellers who have had their Facebook and Instagram accounts hacked. 🥲

They have lost tens of thousands of followers and years of hard work. This is something that will never happen with your email list! 

And if you do get hacked on social media, you’ll feel a lot better if you have an email list. You’ll be able to send an email and ask people to follow you on your new account!

Email can be wonderful in the sense that it’s something you truly own and it’s really secure. You’re not relying on renting someone else’s platform in anyway.
