I’ve broken the process down into ten different steps. Maybe you’re interested in learning about some or all of them. The videos explain everything in easy-to-follow steps, and you can download the files for easy access throughout the year.
Step 1 – Focus on What You Can Control
With so many changes in TpT and schools, not to mention all the changes with social media, it’s important to stay focused on the things you can control. In this section of the course, I’ll explain what we can and cannot control in our business. Changing your mindset to let go of things you can’t control while focusing on things you can have a significant impact on your mental health and your business success going forward.
Step 2 – Updating Products
I’m embarrassed to say that there are some products that haven’t been updated since they were published in 2015. Updating products is something I’m going to focus on this year. In this section of the course, I’ll go through all the steps I’m taking to update existing products in my TpT store. I’ll also talk about ways that you can add value to your existing products while you’re updating them.
Step 3 – Updating Your TpT Product Listings
In this part of the course, I’ll cover updating your TpT product listing. This includes the cover, thumbnail images, snippet, preview, video preview, and product description.
Step 4 – Tracking Your Updates
As you update your products and product listings, keeping track of what you’ve updated and when you updated something is essential. For example, if you change the cover and see a significant decrease in sales, you’ll need to go back and tweak the cover until you see a positive increase in sales.
I’ve included a Product Update tracker in the course to help you organize all the changes you’re making to your products and listings. I will also show you a helpful tool to easily see what products have been updated and which ones still need a little TLC.
Step 5 – Thoughtfully Add New Products
When I started selling on TpT, I focused a lot of energy on creating products. Some are my best sellers, and some don’t sell very well. In later years, I learned that quality is more important than quantity, and my newer resources reflect that. In this section, I go through some tips and tricks on thoughtfully adding new products.
