5 Mistakes I Made On Teachers Pay Teachers!!!

Becoming a seller on TpT can be SO overwhelming. I launched my TpT store in in early 2016 and didn't see a sale until late in the year. I was a week away from making all of my resources free because nobody was buying my products. I wanted to know how people were making sales on TpT and why I wasn't.

After taking a cold, hard look at my store and looking at some of the best sellers, I started fine tuning my store and saw the sales come in. It turns out that I made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. These mistakes were sending potential buyers away.

Once I reached my target audience and had a store that looked sharp, I started seeing more sales.

Ever since I have improved my store, I have been featured on the newsletter several times and have also made (and stayed) on the TpT front page (video section). Can you believe that??!!! A little itty bitty store like mine made the front page!!!

So no, the number of followers and the number of products you have are not as important! What matters most is the quality of your content and if YOUR CONTENT SOLVES A PROBLEM for someone.

If your products solve people's problems, they will pay you for them.

Nowadays I make sales daily on TpT and I also generate an income from YouTube and affiliate links. I throw all of my profits into an investment account or use them to reinvest back into the business.

If you have any questions or ideas for future TpT-related videos, let me know in the comments below!

I don't use any of the resources you're mentioning but I like how you said in the beginning about comparing yourself to other people in that same community I feel like anyone can take that advice and use it and whatever business or project are working on

I have created a TPT product to share with other counselors using a font I bought, however, whenever I share that resource, the font changes when the other counselors download it. What do I need to do to my product to stop this from happening? Thank you so much!
