Scheduling Your Content: The Magic Way to Save Time and Make Money

Hey there,

Do you want to learn how to save time as a TPT seller? Of course, you do! Sometimes it feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

When it comes to marketing TPT products, there is SO much to do. Facebook posts, Instagram posts, and Pinterest pins can take up so many hours in your week.

Do you look like this everytime you think about marketing?

Don’t worry, there is a way to save time and streamline your marketing. The best part? By saving time, you’ll also be making more money.

Yep, you read that right. Just think about how many hours you will be saving if you’re not manually pinning pins or sharing Facebook posts. If you can use that time to create TPT products, you’ll be doing something that makes you more money!

So, what is the magical solution?

Scheduling.

There are two ways that you can schedule. One is the free option. This includes scheduling pins using the in-built Pinterest scheduler. You can also schedule social media content (Instagram and Facebook posts) using the Facebook scheduler.

The good news is that it’s free! I can often pin a few weeks’ worth of content quite easily. I can schedule out a month of Facebook posts for free!

However, paying for a scheduler can make your life even easier.

For example, there is a limit on how many pins you can schedule on the in-built Pinterest scheduler. Whereas, if you use a scheduler like Tailwind, you can pin for the next six months if you wish!

Programs like Tailwind also provide optimum times to pin, and they have features like tribes or smart loop. Best of all, you can upload one pin and schedule it to lots of different boards in one go. Whereas on the Pinterest scheduler, you can only schedule to one board.

WHAT APPS ARE THERE?

When it comes to social media like Facebook or Instagram, there are countless scheduling apps.

Hootsuite, Buffer, Later, Meet Edgar, and Smarter Queue are popular choices. I suggest you try the free trials and see if you like them!

Alternatively, you can schedule within the social media platforms. I often schedule my Facebook business page posts using the free in-built Facebook scheduler.

Scheduling is a great time saving marketing hack. But it does go hand in hand with batching.

batching?

Batching is where you create a lot of content in one sitting (for example, create 10 Instagram posts or pins at once). If you are able to set aside some time to batch your content and then schedule it, you can sit back and relax for the rest of the month!

If you’re interested in trying Tailwind, check it out here. This is an affiliate link which means that if you purchase, I may make a small commission at no cost to you.

Good luck with your scheduling teacherpreneurs!

If you’d like to learn more about scheduling apps and how I use them, listen to my podcast episode here.

P.S. If you’re looking for more productivity tips, I really recommend listening to my podcast. There is an episode about batching that is a game changer!

Sharing is caring!

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?!

For me personally, I’m still making the most money from places like Pinterest and my blog. 

Social media just doesn’t quite compare. I still think blogging has got so much potential! 

I would be curious to hear your thoughts?

This week on the podcast I’m doing an episode about blogging and I answer lots of your burning questions.

This week on the terrific teacherpreneur podcast, I’m talking all about upselling to products within your freebies and paid products.

This is something that I have been doing for many years, but a couple of months ago I decided to start tracking my efforts with UTM codes.

In a short amount of time, I was able to see money coming in from just a few links (it’s especially cool to make money from freebies)!

Tell me, do you upsell within your products? If not, will you be doing so from now onwards?

First off, don’t take it personally! 

If there’s less traffic on TpT overall, because of something like summer, a natural disaster, or the holiday season, that will trickle down to you and it is not personal!

Next, acknowledge that it’s a good thing for buyers.

If teachers are burnt out or taking time off, it’s nice for them to have a break. Your buyers deserve it!

Finally, accept that TPT has highs and lows. 

Although the lack of consistency and the lows can be very upsetting, the opposite is that there can be these crazy highs! There is no ceiling with earnings on TpT. The sky is the limit and there’s potential to earn literally millions of dollars. You can’t say that for the average job!

Definitely check out this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast!
