  • Words Of Wisdom From New And Veteran TPT Sellers Who Are Seeing Growth (Special Collaborative 200th Episode)

    In this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I celebrate my 200th episode of the podcast! I asked the following question: What have you done lately in your business that has had a big, positive impact on your earnings? Ten sellers (new and veteran) shared their wisdom with me.


    In this episode, I read out their advice and chat about:

    • The common habits and strategies successful sellers are prioritizing right now
    • The types of products that sell well
    • Adapting to a changing TPT and AI landscape
    • Why being human and building relationships with your audience may be more important than ever


    A few recurring themes came up again and again across different niches and store sizes.

    It appears that success comes from creating strategically, marketing consistently, serving a specific audience, and building products that teachers come back for again and again.

    If you've been wondering what's actually working on TPT as of 2026, this episode is packed with practical ideas and plenty of encouragement!

    From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of my wonderful listeners.  I wouldn't be doing this without each and every single one of you!

    Also, thank you to the sellers who responded!

  • Why Your TPT Store Feels Invisible

    On this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I discuss why it might feel like you're doing everything right in your TPT store...but your resources just aren't getting views.

    I talk about:

    • The shift from constantly making more products to focusing on visibility
    • Why relying only on TPT search can feel risky
    • The biggest misconceptions TPT sellers have about Pinterest
    • Sustainable marketing strategies for busy teacher business owners


    The problem isn’t that your products aren’t good enough...it’s that not enough people are seeing them.

  • Why Some Products Take Off And Others Don’t: The Real Reason No-One Is Buying And How To Fix It

    On this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I dive into how frustrating it is when great products just aren't selling.

    I discuss:

    • Why your product isn't 'bad'
    • The real reason no-one is buying and how to fix it
    • Why other TPT sellers seem to sell more than you
    • Why the type of resources you create will make your TPT experience much harder


    Trust me when I say that your products aren't the problem, but visibility is.

  • Product Creation vs Marketing vs Optimization: How TPT Sellers Should Spend Their Time

    On this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I talk about one of the biggest challenges TPT sellers face: figuring out where to spend your time for the best growth.

    Are you spending too much time creating products… and not enough time marketing them?

    Or maybe you’ve fallen into the endless optimization rabbit hole and haven’t made anything new in months.

    We’re diving into the three major areas of running a successful TPT store:

    •  product creation 
    •  product optimization 
    •  marketing 

    …and why not having a balance can hold your store back.

    I share why flexibility matters more than following rigid schedules and rules.

    Whether you’re a newer seller trying to grow or an experienced seller feeling stuck, this episode will help you think more strategically about how you use your limited work time.

  • Why Your Pinterest Traffic Isn't Converting To Sales

    On this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I share why your Pinterest traffic might not be converting to sales.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    • Where you can find a helpful piece of data that will give you insight
    • What you can work on to finally convert your Pinterest traffic


    If you're struggling with getting sales from Pinterest, your data might have the answers you've been looking for.


    Something I forgot to mention in the episode is that this might be helpful if you've seen a big decline in sales from Pinterest. It's good to work out whether you're getting less traffic or the traffic isn't converting.
