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.

Finding the time/energy to exercise is a big strug Finding the time/energy to exercise is a big struggle for me.

When I was first teaching, I used to play tennis and do zumba classes and things after school. I had that social accountability of other people being there. 

Nowadays, I’m pretty good with going to the gym on a weekend if some of my family members are there. 

But I really struggle to do exercise on my own. I just don’t have the motivation! 

The most I can manage is my morning walk sometimes. 

Does anyone else struggle with this? Knowing that you need to exercise but just not doing it!

I know, crazy right?! But I’m definitely in the minority of course! 😂

Most people really adore doughnuts! The students in your class are probably no exception. 

How excited do you think they would be if you told them that they were going to be making one of these crafts? 

What kid doesn’t get excited about things like popcorn and sundaes?!

These crafts 25% off at the moment in the TpT sale! Comment below if you would like a link. I’ll also link to them in my stories!

Thinking of mentor texts as blueprints...I just lo Thinking of mentor texts as blueprints...I just love the analogy!

It’s true that mentor texts:
• serve as an example for students. 
• help students to try out new strategies and formats. 
• allow students to make powerful connections to their own lives.

Do you use enough effective mentor texts in your writing lessons? 

This is your reminder because they really help the writing process! Also, a great read aloud is the perfect lesson warmup, right? 🙌🏻

Guess what? You DON’T have to market the upcomin Guess what? You DON’T have to market the upcoming TpT sale!

Yep, I mean it! 😱

This week on the podcast and in my series of reels, I’ve been sharing tips about the best way to effectively market the TpT site-wide sale. 

However, what if you are really burnt out from full-time teaching right now? What if you’ve got a lot going on in your personal life? 

The TpT sale might be the last thing on your mind and you might not be remotely interested in thinking about it right now. 

You might not have the time or energy. And that’s OK! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

If you don’t end up talking about the sale on social media or to your email list, that’s fine. Sometimes life gets busy.

I just want to give you permission to do nothing, if you need to. There’s so much pressure when it comes to running a TpT business.

Tell me below, did you need to hear this? Are things busy and hectic in your life right now? 💗

There are so many pros and cons when it comes to s There are so many pros and cons when it comes to seasonal resources! 

In this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast, I discuss the pros! 

This includes the fact that seasonal resources are fun to make and buyers really love them! 

But in the episode, I also talk about the cons, which is the fact that seasonal resources don’t sell the rest of the year and require expert timing when it comes to product creation and marketing. 

Have you listened to this week’s podcast episode yet? If not, will you be listening soon? 🙂

Hey there! It’s been a while since I introduced Hey there!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself to my new followers so I thought I’d share a little bit about me 🙂

My name is Alex and I live in sunny Queensland, Australia. ☀️ (I’m originally from the UK though, so the Brit accent is still going strong)!

I’m a full time TpT seller and I love to use this account to share tips and advice to help other sellers grow their stores!

When I’m not working on my biz, I love spending time with my hubby Dale and my family in general - my mum, sister and I are very close. My sister had a baby and now he’s been added to the crew and tags along on shopping trips and such 😅

You can also catch me watching Netflix and eating chocolate most days (or going on walks/going to the gym to compensate) 😅

I’d love to get to know you! Tell me in the comments where you’re from!

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Are you for or against growing bundles?

Bundles are where the money is! If you haven’t Bundles are where the money is!

If you haven’t already listened to this week’s podcast episode, I definitely recommend tuning into The Terrific Teacherpreneur this week. 

I’m talking all about bundles, ya know…the thing that you should be doing much more of if you want to increase your earnings! 🙌🏻

Bundles are upsells, higher priced items, AND provide much more value to your buyers.

The best part? They are pretty easy to upload to TpT. I forgot to mention this on the episode, but I love the fact that all I really need to do is make a new cover etc, as the products are already made!

Tell me, have you listened to this week’s podcast episode yet? If so, do you feel inspired to make more bundles? 

If you haven’t listened yet, will you be listening soon? 🙂
