Teachers aren’t paid well. They create a side hu Teachers aren’t paid well. They create a side hustle where they can make money from resources that they are making anyway. Resources they probably made on their own time completely unpaid. Asking them to give that away for free is why we have this problem!

It’s horrifying, but now I’m starting to see why teachers are so underpaid. Because if teachers themselves believe they should be doing things for free all the time, this problem is never going to get fixed! 

Let me know your thoughts! Whether you are pro TPT or not, I’m curious to hear.

Can you imagine any other job where you’re not g Can you imagine any other job where you’re not given you know…the thing you need to do your job?! 🤯

The fact that a lot of teachers are creating their own curriculum is kinda ridiculous and it’s only trumped by the fact that a lot of other teachers are stuck using bad curriculum! 🤦🏼‍♀️

In an ideal world, teachers would be given a decent curriculum or given the funds to purchase any curriculum that they think would fit their student’s needs. Not forced to create their own or forced to use a crappy one. Do you agree?

It took me freaking ages to make this! There’s j It took me freaking ages to make this! There’s just something so overwhelmingly exhausting about social media. it requires so much effort and just gives so little in return.

Conversely, I have made about $500 this month from doing literally nothing. Yep, passively earning money from a handful of pins and blog posts that I made years ago. This is why I always go on about Pinterest and blogging. It’s less effort! 

Anyways, if you have been meaning to try Pinterest, be sure to join my course before it closes in the coming days. It’s 30% off right now! 

Comment pinterest, if you’d like a link! There’s also a link in my bio.

Pinterest isn’t dead. It’s still my biggest tr Pinterest isn’t dead. It’s still my biggest traffic driver! My Pinterest account has actually grown a lot in the last year. 

But here’s the thing, Pinterest isn’t like what it was in 2018. The game is different, so you have to keep up with best practices as of 2023 if you still want to see growth.

If you want to learn all about Pinterest, comment below with a 📌 and I’ll send you a link to my course which is open and 30% off for a limited time!

You want to make products that are going to sell r You want to make products that are going to sell right? 

Don’t copy other sellers or make products just because it might be fun to make or quick/easy to make ❌

Instead, focus on what your audience NEEDS! What would make their lives easier? 

Ask your ideal buyers if you can. Find a way to learn what they need 🤓

Also, consider your data, as what sells well for you now is a pretty good indicator of what is going to sell for you in your future products. 📊

One of my biggest money makers at the moment isn’t something everyone else is doing it and it isn’t something that is quick, fun, or easy to make. 

I’ve got a lot of products like that in my store. Ones that everyone else has done 1 million times. Ones that I could create in a few hours. Those just don’t sell as well and that’s a fact! 

So, in summary -
✅ Make sure that you are making things your audience actually needs! 
✅ Look at your data to determine what sells well for you, so that you can keep making more things like that. 
✅ Finally, be sure to make those hard products that no-one else is making. Trust me!

Don’t make guesses and don’t just try to figur Don’t make guesses and don’t just try to figure things out on your own. ❌

If you want to do something correctly in your business, learn how to do it properly! ✅

There are so many podcasts, blog posts, YouTube videos, and courses to help you with everything you need to know.

Whatever you do, try to get it right in the early days. 

Don’t throw ad money down the drain, make a mess of SEO, follow bad practices on Pinterest/social media, send terrible emails etc when you can learn how to do all these things!

But most importantly, get your products looking good early on. I’m constantly doing updates to resources. So much of the time I’m wasting now would have been preventable if I had taken the time to learn things or if I had invested money into my business earlier.

These are just today’s thoughts. Thanks for reading my ramblings. Do you agree? 💗

Full disclosure - I’ve always been very upfront Full disclosure - I’ve always been very upfront that Pinterest and my blog together are my main traffic drivers.

My email list is next and it also drives traffic to my products. It’s nice to make money by just spending 20 minutes writing an email here and there 🙌🏻

Not every resource in your store is going to be a Not every resource in your store is going to be a part a product line. Sometimes you just make a one off unique product that’s completely standalone and that’s fine! 

But it can be really handy if a lot of your products are in a product line because it allows you to use templates. 

You can just switch out the clipart and text, etc. but you aren’t starting from scratch every single time when it comes to formatting the actual resource. 

It’s not just the product itself where you can save time! When you create product lines, you can copy and paste descriptions and use the same cover, thumbnail, and preview templates. 

Product lines and templates are truly one of the best time saving strategies to try! 

The other really cool thing? Product lines can be insanely profitable! Especially when they lead to a bundle. But mostly because they encourage people to become repeat buyers. If they like one of the resources, they can come back for something similar!
