Mentor texts are a game changer! They’re great Mentor texts are a game changer!

They’re great as a writing lesson warm-up because they can -

• introduce the writing genre
• show an example of what the writing genre looks like
• teach the text structure and features of the writing genre
• inspire students to improve their writing

Plus all the other benefits of a read aloud!

Be sure to read mentor texts every writing lesson if you can 🙌🏻

Double tap if you agree! 💗

Wanna know how to engage reluctant writers? 

Don’t tell them what to write about, let them decide!

If you force a reluctant writer to write about a topic that they find dull, then there’s no hope! 😬

Perhaps your student really loves cars, dinosaurs, or a certain video game. 

Allow them to write about something they are passionate about! They’ll be a lot less reluctant 🙌🏻

Let’s look at the video game example. 

• They can write a narrative where they pretend to be a character in the game. 

• They can write an opinion piece where they write about why the game is the best. 

• They can write an informational piece where they explain the rules of the game or how to play. 

I know you might be set on a certain writing prompt but sometimes flexibility is required when it comes to reluctant writers.

I hope you like this tip. Be sure to save this post for later! 💾

‘I’m obsessed with these! There are so many mi ‘I’m obsessed with these! There are so many mixed up sentences products on TPT and I’ve used many of them, but looking back I realized how impossible the word choices were! My students can actually read these words and figure out the sentence on their own instead of just copying something without reading it. Genius!”

I received this feedback on my decodable sentence building activities the other day and I was overjoyed! That’s exactly why I created these. Science of reading aligned and actually decodable! 🙌🏻

This video shows the CVCe ones, but I have lots of others too. Comment below if you’d like a link!

Want to have a profitable blog? You have to be wil Want to have a profitable blog? You have to be willing to be salesy! 💰

Yup…scary I know!

But here’s the thing. I make hundreds of dollars from blog posts and they are always the ones about my resources!

If you don’t talk about your resources, you can’t drive traffic to TPT.

Check out this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast to learn more! 🎙️

Tell me in the comments, do you find it hard to be salesy?

Reviews aren’t something that you can control! ❌

Sure, you can remind buyers to leave reviews. But this won’t change the fact that most buyers just don’t leave reviews 🤷🏼‍♀️

Reviews will come with time, I promise! 
They will increase as your sales increase 🙂

Don’t dwell on it. 
Don’t find dodgy ways to get them.

Instead, spend your energy creating and selling great products that people want to buy (and therefore review)!

Focus on product creation, optimizing your TPT listings, and marketing your resources!

• Share your long-form content (e.g. blog posts)
• Provide freebies (not too often)
• Share tips, hacks, and strategies relevant to your niche

In this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur podcast, I dive into this topic so be sure to listen! 🎙️ 

Tell me below, do you ever struggle with what to write in your weekly emails? Will you be listening to the episode? 🙂

When it comes to marketing on IG/FB or emailing yo When it comes to marketing on IG/FB or emailing your list, it’s so important to serve your audience!

Educate, inform, or entertain!

This can look like offering freebies, but mostly it’s sharing knowledge, tips/hacks or maybe even memes/jokes.

When your audience feels like they get value from following/subscribing, they build the ‘know, like, trust’ factor with you. This leads to sales! 💰

If all you do is show up and talk about your products, your intention is to serve yourself and your audience can sense it. So it just isn’t as effective 😬

A good example is me! If every Instagram post or podcast episode was about my courses, would you still be here? ❌ Or if I ghosted you and only showed up twice a year when I had a course to sell. Ugh that would be so annoying, right?! 🙌🏻

The other thing is that serving others can be fun. I really enjoy sharing tips! I’m sure you will too when it comes to your audience 🙂

But Instagram is always people sharing their successes, so I thought it would be nice to share my chapter 1 and not just my chapter 10. 

I earned $2.70 my first month on TPT! And as you can see, the following months were around $100. 

We all start somewhere! 🙌🏻

Email marketing is a great way to direct traffic t Email marketing is a great way to direct traffic to your TPT store!

1.) You create a freebie and entice your ideal customer to join your list. 

2.) You send frequent emails (e.g. weekly) to build a relationship with your customers.

This week on #theterrificteacherpreneur podcast, I answer a bunch of questions about email marketing! 📧

I discuss things like how to get people on your email list and how to increase open rates! 🙌🏻
