Digital resources in this day and age are a necessity.

With many students learning virtually due to the pandemic, TPT resources that don’t have the flexibility to be for both face-to-face and distance learning may end up hurting, rather than helping your sales.

What are you to do when all you have in your TPT store are printable resources? How can you convert these to digital without having to start completely from scratch?

Well my friend, this is where repurposing comes into play (and a little bit of tech know-how)!

In this episode, you will learn:

• Steps to create a digital resource in Google Slides after creating in PowerPoint
• Tips on using Easel through TPT
• A little shortcut that I like to use to easily flatten and secure my files (and upload to Google Slides!)
• 
  

Don't forget the watch the tutorial video here to see an example in action!

It’s extremely important to capture the attention of a potential customer when selling resources on TPT.

Even more important is that potential customers can take a preview to see EXACTLY what they would be buying.

While printing out and taking photographs of your resource in action can help solve this problem, creating mockups of your products using stock photos is another great way to show off your resources if you don’t have the time or resources to print out and take pictures of everything.

In this episode, you will learn 6 tips to create mockups using stock photos!

One of my favorite shows to watch is the Great British Bake Off. In each episode, a set of amateur bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature challenge, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper.

The themes each week vary; sometimes it's cake week, other times it's pastry week. I love a good analogy, so I'll be relating this addictive baking show to your TpT business! Let's do a quick overview of each one and what it stands for in the TpT world. 

In this episode, you will learn: 

• how branding, SEO/analytics, and product listings relate to one of my favorite shows (and a few tips from each one to think about)! 
•
