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.

I don’t believe you should rush product creation I don’t believe you should rush product creation! But there are occasions where you might want to make the process a bit quicker, especially if you are time poor. 

I think that product lines are a really great place to start.

Product lines are wonderful because you can create a template and then use it a bunch of times and just switch some of the content out. 

⏰ This really saves time because you aren’t starting from scratch with every single resource. 

This serves you in other ways as well! Product lines can be really handy because they encourage repeat buyers and also lead to a bundle, which equals more sales. 💰

Product lines aside, templates are really great in general. I highly suggest using them for things like the first cover page within your resource and the terms of use page. 

My final tip is to become efficient at using your chosen product creation program. For example, I use PowerPoint.

⌨️ Make sure that you understand the keyboard shortcuts that will make things quicker. I love using them for things like duplicating.

In my early years of being a TPT seller, I made a In my early years of being a TPT seller, I made a lot of small resources. Low page count, low price, low value. 

They were quick and easy for me to make, it felt like a quick win. Truthfully though, because they were so quick to make and small in size, I couldn’t charge very much for them. 

Before I knew it, I ended up with a store full of quite small products. 

Honestly, it’s hard to make money with low price resources. If everything you have is two dollars, it’s a real struggle. The real money comes from things like bundles and more expensive items. 

This is just something I wish I had known in my early days, so I hope sharing helps someone!

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!

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!
