    152. What Planner Type Are You? (Quiz Results Reveal With Erin & Ashley)

    As we get ready to begin a new year, planning is top of mind. As they say, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. While that might be a little over the top, there’s a lot of truth to it! Having a consistent planning process sets you up for success in your teacher-seller business. I could sit here all day and share my method for planning and organization in business. But, we all have different personalities, and unique businesses, and are in various seasons of life…so we need different tools! That’s why I created a new planner personality quiz. This quiz will give you a deep look at who you are as a TPT seller and uncover your exact planning path, tools, and superpowers to leverage this year. Ashley and I are acting as your guinea pigs and have been the first two people to take the quiz! We’re here to share our planner type results with you in this episode. Will you be a “Go with the Flow Fran”, “Day by Day Debbie”, “Action Jackson”, or something else? Join us in Jumpstart and take the planner type quiz here. Then, share your results in the School of Sellers Facebook group!

    151. Diversify Your Teacher Business: Unlocking the Potential of TikTok for TPT Sellers with Nancy Chung

    When you think about using TikTok for your business, does it excite you or make you want to run the other way? If it’s the latter, you could be missing out! When it comes to TikTok, there’s so much potential for growing your audience and even monetizing directly from your videos. Nancy Chung is here to talk all about TikTok for TPT sellers. After hearing her present at TPT Forward last summer on this topic, I knew I had to have her on the podcast to share her experience and knowledge with you. Nancy walks us through the benefits of using TikTok for TPT sellers, misconceptions about the app, tips for easily creating content that people want to watch, and insight into the earning potential. Nancy has seen so much success on TikTok, and with her advice, you could too. And no, you don’t have to dance! This might be the perfect opportunity for you to try something new, expand your reach, and engage with more teachers and potential customers. Connect with Nancy on Instagram and TikTok or listen to The Schoolyard Podcast.

    148. What to Do If You've Lost Your Spark (Navigating Business Burnout)

    Have you been feeling like you’re losing your spark lately? You probably know that spark that I’m talking about. It’s your passion, excitement, and creative energy for everything you’re working on in your business.  If that spark is fading, there’s a very good chance you’re headed straight into burnout…or maybe you’re already there. As I go into my 12th year as a TPT seller, I know this feeling all too well. When things start to feel hard or monotonous, we often blame ourselves and it can be so difficult to keep going.  Here’s the good news. You can absolutely reignite that spark! That’s what we’re exploring inside this episode. I’m sharing my best advice for combating business burnout so you can get back to feeling passionate about your work. I hope it reminds you of the importance of your mental well-being and encourages you to protect your spark, no matter where you are in your seller journey.

    146. Seller Stories: Teaching Full Time While Making More on TPT (With Katarina Lazaris)

    Being a TPT seller looks different for each person. Some of you are full-time TPT sellers who have left the classroom while others are in the classroom with the end goal of working from home on TPT full-time. Our guest today, Katarina Lazaris, is a full-time teacher and successful TPT seller with no plans to leave the classroom.  Katarina is the face behind Lessons for Learning and a 6th-grade full-time teacher. She started her TPT store during her very first year of teaching and the rest is history! If you love being in the classroom but also love growing your TPT business, Katarina is proof that you can do both. In our conversation, Katarina shares why she stays in the classroom even though her TPT store brings in a full-time income. She also breaks down how she manages her time in both roles to avoid burnout. If you dream about being a full-time teacher while running a thriving TPT store, I have a feeling this episode will leave you feeling inspired!
