Have you ever considered opening a website store as a way to diversify your income and sell your resources somewhere other than TPT? This has been a hot topic among teacher sellers lately, and for good reason! Opening a store on your own website can be a super smart business strategy, and one that many sellers have found success with.

However, there are lots of things to consider before taking the leap on opening your website store. You have to think about things like the tech, the ongoing maintenance, and how to actually get customers onto your site. I want to make sure that you have all the information you need before taking this step. That's why today marks the beginning of a new series all about selling on your site.

After listening you'll have a better idea of whether or not it's something you want to take on at this time. If you already have a website store, I'm sharing some important things for you to know as well!
