Ready to grow your TPT business but unsure if you should hire help or improve your systems first? Janice Cook, owner of Cook Family Resources, brings her unique perspective as a project manager who works with both teacher entrepreneurs and virtual assistants to share what really works—and what doesn't—when building your team. After 12 years as a music teacher, Janice found herself in the online business world and quickly became the go-to person for managing projects when other TPT sellers needed support. Her position gives her remarkable insight into both sides of the hiring equation, seeing firsthand why some working relationships thrive while others fail miserably. We dive deep into the four essential elements you must have in place before bringing on help: clear communication channels, documented standard operating procedures, time allocated for feedback, and clarity about who's bringing the expertise to the table. Janice explains why jumping into hiring without these foundations often leads to frustration on both sides, wasted money, and the dreaded "hiring horror stories" that make entrepreneurs hesitant to delegate again. You'll discover practical advice for determining when you're truly ready to hire, how to choose the right communication systems for your team, and what questions to ask yourself before writing that job description. Janice also shares her insider perspective on finding the right match for your specific needs, whether that's through referrals, specialized freelancers, or more cost-effective solutions. Whether you're considering your first hire or looking to improve your existing team dynamics, this conversation will help you create the systems that make delegation successful, allowing your TPT business to grow in a way that's both purposeful and sustainable.

What if your teaching blog could be more than just a traffic funnel for your TPT store? Blogging experts Jennifer and Amy reveal how teacher entrepreneurs can transform their online presence into a sustainable business with multiple revenue streams. Having coached countless content creators to success, these former neighbors turned business partners share their journey from humble beginnings to creating a thriving blog coaching business. They explain why viewing your blog as your "home base" opens doors to diverse income opportunities that many teacherpreneurs never consider, including ad revenue, affiliate marketing, digital products, courses, and even brand partnerships. The revenue potential extends far beyond what most Teachers Pay Teachers sellers realize. With only the top 800-1000 TPT sellers earning full-time income, Jennifer and Amy make a compelling case for diversification through blogging. The beauty? Your blog continues generating traffic, leads, and income even during your busiest teaching periods when you can't actively create content. For those concerned about time management, the podcast offers practical systems and workflows to prevent overwhelm. Their approach centers on focusing where you can make the most impact rather than trying to do everything, implementing content management systems, and strategically repurposing content across platforms. This work-smarter-not-harder philosophy resonates perfectly with busy teachers juggling classroom responsibilities and entrepreneurial aspirations.

Money makes the TPT world go round, but how much should you actually be spending on your teacher business? Whether you're just starting your TPT journey or scaling to five figures monthly, smart budgeting decisions can make or break your long-term success. Let's start with the non-negotiables every TPT seller needs: premium seller fees ($59.95 annually), branded fonts (choose 3-5 that become your signature style), strategic clip art investments, and essential software subscriptions. These foundational elements ensure your resources stand out in the marketplace and earn the highest possible commission rates. But beyond these basics lies the question that plagues most teacher entrepreneurs: when and how much should I reinvest in my business? The answer changes depending on your revenue level, but one principle remains constant—pay yourself first. For sellers earning $500-1000 monthly, setting aside 10-20% of revenue (after taxes and essential expenses) creates a meaningful reinvestment fund without depleting your personal income. This approach allows you to accumulate a strategic sum every six months that you can use to level up your business through batch-creating resources, running targeted ads, or purchasing time-saving tools. As your revenue climbs to $5000+ monthly, that same percentage creates substantial reinvestment power. At this stage, tracking return on investment becomes crucial. Whether you're spending on Facebook ads or hiring virtual assistants, you need clear metrics showing exactly what you're getting back. The goal isn't just creating more products—it's ensuring those investments generate profitable returns. Remember, growing a sustainable TPT business isn't about reinvesting everything at the expense of paying yourself. By taking a methodical, percentage-based approach to budgeting, you'll build a business that supports your financial goals while continuing to expand strategically year after year.

Ever felt stuck between creating truly unique TPT resources and making products that actually get found in searches? You're not alone. This episode tackles exactly that tension with seven genius product ideas you've probably never considered—but will immediately want to create. From weekly warm-ups where students gradually reveal mystery pictures as they solve problems, to self-differentiating maze activities that allow students to choose their own difficulty path, these ideas strike that perfect balance. They target high-traffic keywords like "worksheets," "exit tickets," and "centers" while offering something buyers can only get from your store. What makes these resources special is their ability to engage students in unexpected ways. Imagine mini escape room exit tickets that provide daily puzzle challenges, collaborative story chains where students build narratives together throughout the week, or mystery picture activities where solving problems reveals hidden images. Each concept maintains educational rigor while adding elements of surprise, creativity, and student choice. The most powerful insight? Creating products that balance uniqueness with searchability isn't just about standing out—it's about building a sustainable TPT business where customers return specifically to your store. Because as Lauren puts it, "If they can only get it from you, where else are they going to go?" Ready to implement these ideas in your own TPT store? Listen now and check out the accompanying YouTube video for visual examples!

Want to grow your TPT store faster without doubling your workload? After nearly a decade as a top 1% seller and years coaching other teacher-entrepreneurs, I've identified three game-changing hacks that most sellers overlook. The first hack transforms how you approach multi-grade resources. Rather than creating one product for grades 3-6 (which limits your keywords and makes teachers question its suitability), create slightly differentiated versions for each grade level. This simple shift multiplies your store's visibility while making teachers feel you've created something specifically for their students. With minimal additional effort, you'll have four products appearing in search results instead of one, dramatically increasing your chances of being discovered. The second strategy involves unbundling larger resources. That comprehensive unit or activity pack? Consider listing each component separately at a lower price point while maintaining the complete bundle. This approach creates multiple entry points for buyers, makes your bundle's value proposition crystal clear ("$10 worth of resources for just $5!"), and significantly increases your product count without requiring entirely new creations. The final hack leverages strategic collaborations with other sellers. Even without a strong social media presence, you can drive traffic to your store by trading visibility with others. Whether it's promoting someone's product to your email list in exchange for Instagram exposure, participating in blog hops, or bartering with teacher influencers, these partnerships cost nothing while expanding your reach exponentially. Ready to implement these strategies and see your TPT store flourish? Whether you're just starting out or working to reach that next income milestone, these proven approaches will help you work smarter, not harder, on your path to TPT success.
