School of Sellers Erin Waters, teacher seller tips

Have you thought about diversifying your teacher seller business to include supplemental income streams? Many teacher sellers, like myself, worry about the uncertainty of relying solely on platforms like TpT for income. However, we know we can’t add on something we pour as much time and effort into as our TpT stores, so what are some options for creating additional revenue streams for our businesses?
Diversification is a means of reducing risk and increasing stability in our teacher seller business. Of course, this is not something that all teacher sellers want or need, especially those still in the classroom! But for those of us who rely solely on our businesses, finding ways to diversify and bring in additional revenue can be incredibly helpful.
In this episode, I share 13 ways of diversifying and expanding your income stream beyond your TpT store. You’ll hear about online and in-person options, education and non-teaching-related ideas, and the pros and cons of different options to help you decide if these are a good fit for you!

Do you feel like you have 25 tabs open in your brain at all times? If so, you are not alone! As a teacher, business owner, and mom, I feel like I constantly have new ideas, endless to-dos, and random things popping into my head all the time. Now, I’m sure you’ve heard about brain dumps before, but finding a brain dump system that works for me has truly been a game changer for making sure that my ideas and thoughts don’t get forgotten. 
I personally think that the mental load of a teacher business owner is unmatched. However, feeling overwhelmed by it all doesn’t need to be your norm. Once I started implementing the simple practice of a brain dump into my seller habits, my brain finally was able to feel some relief! In this episode, I am breaking down what a brain dump is, options for brain dumps, why having a system is beneficial, and my tips for a successful brain dump system.

Are you ready to successfully tackle your business goals this summer, even with kids at home? We are quickly approaching summer which means that for many of us, our schedules will be changing. There will be kids at home, summer camps, trips, and, of course, all the everyday summer fun that we look forward to. But even with the change in schedules, you can take control of your summer business plan with a little bit of planning ahead!
Balancing work and family time in the summer can sometimes feel overwhelming. As teacher sellers, we know there is so much to do throughout the year, but we also want to make summer the best it can possibly be for us and our families. In order to do that, it’s so helpful to have a solid summer business plan in place where you can identify and plan out exactly what you want to focus on and when.
As I was preparing my own summer business plan, I thought it might be helpful to share it with you as a sort of “summer business survival guide.” So today, I am walking you through the 3 main things I will be focusing on this summer, what I am doing in each of these 3 areas, and how I have my time scheduled to make the most out of work time and family time.
