    165. Things to Try When You Pivot to a New Audience

    Pivoting to a new audience can feel overwhelming, but what if I told you there’s a way to do it without starting from scratch? In this episode, we’re talking about the “sneaky pivot” strategy - a smart and strategic way to expand your reach using the resources you already have!  Whether you’re shifting to a different grade level, exploring a new subject area, or even branching out beyond the classroom to parents and homeschoolers, I have plenty of tips to help you make the transition smoothly.  One of the biggest keys to a successful pivot is understanding your new audience. That means learning their language, identifying their biggest pain points, and figuring out where they hang out online. It might also mean tweaking your messaging, adjusting your product descriptions, or even exploring different selling platforms beyond TPT.  I’m covering everything from repurposing existing products to creating targeted content and lead magnets that attract your ideal buyers. The best part? You don’t have to do it all at once. A slow and steady approach will help you test the waters and refine your strategy as you go. Tune in to learn how you can pivot to a new audience with purpose and set yourself up for long-term success! Show Notes: https://schoolofsellers.com/episode165/ Resources: 📚 P.O.D.

    Ever wish you could add a few extra hours to your day? We know that struggle all too well and we're here to help! In this coffee chat, recorded live in Ignite, Ashley and I discussed some ways that we’re currently saving time in our businesses. We have a good feeling that you’ll walk away with some new and practical ideas on how to make the most of your time! One of my favorite time saving strategies is my new themed day system.

This simple shift has been a game-changer, helping me avoid the mental exhaustion of constant multitasking! Ashley and I also dive into tech tools that are saving us time for things like crafting better subject lines and keeping us organized. But of course this episode isn’t just about timesaving hacks for business. We also chat about the little things that make life more manageable like meal prepping during quieter afternoon moments.

    163. Mindsets That Transform: Simplify, Prioritize, and Let Go as a TPT Seller

    Running a TPT business while juggling teaching, family life, and personal commitments can feel overwhelming. But success isn’t just about the physical tasks we do - it’s deeply rooted in our mindset. Let’s explore three game-changing TPT seller mindsets that can transform how you approach your business!  You’ll learn how to use the glass ball analogy to focus on what truly matters while releasing guilt over the less critical tasks. I’ll break down a mental reframing model that helps you tackle challenges, like declining sales, with action instead of overwhelm. Then, I’ll share one of my newest mindset tools - the “let them theory” - which will free you from stressing over things you can’t control! The next time you feel frazzled or defeated in your business, I hope these TPT seller mindsets will help you take the next best step forward. Which of these mindsets are you most excited to try out? Let me know in a review or on Instagram!

    161. 3 Ways to Diversify Your Teacher Business Using What You ALREADY Have

    When you hear the word diversify, does it feel like just one more thing to add to your already full plate? If so, I have good news for you. After lots of brainstorming, I’ve landed on three ways that you can diversify your TPT business WITHOUT reinventing the wheel. In this episode, I’m diving into each of the three ways to diversify your teacher business. The best part? They all leverage products that you’ve already created! We’re looking at selling on your own site (don’t worry, I’ve come up with a simple way to do this!), tapping into the growing homeschool and parent audience, and the magic of Print on Demand. These three ideas are EXACTLY what we’re focusing on inside Ignite this quarter and it’s not too late to join! If you are a seller who isn’t happy with your TPT dashboard and wants to expand your options, we would love to have you. I can’t wait to see how you diversify and grow this year!

    Have you ever stopped to think about how your mindset around money might be holding you back? In this episode, I’m taking you back to an incredible conversation I had with Trina Deboree, a teacher-turned-TPT seller, who shared her inspiring story of transforming her money mindset while navigating life as a teacherpreneur. Trina didn’t hold back as she opened up about overcoming personal and financial challenges, breaking free from a scarcity mindset, and embracing the power of money mindset work to create a life of growth. We tackle the unique challenges teacherpreneurs face, like balancing the heart of a teacher with the head of an entrepreneur and shaking off cultural expectations that undervalue our worth. This conversation left me feeling inspired, and I know it will do the same for you! If you’ve ever felt like money mindset is a hurdle you can’t get past, Trina’s story will remind you that it’s possible to rewrite your narrative and embrace a life of abundance.

    To wrap up 2024, I’m playing a few of our all-time most downloaded School of Sellers episodes! To kick this series off, let’s start with an episode that resonated with SO MANY of you - having your resources copied on TPT. It’s a tough subject, but one that deserves open and honest discussion. To tackle it, I’m joined by one of my close TPT friends, Kerry Tracy. Together, Kerry and I share our experiences with being copied - from the initial sting to the rollercoaster of emotions that follow. We also talk about how we’ve grown in the way we handle these situations and offer practical advice for anyone facing the same challenges. Whether you’ve already dealt with copying or you’re worried about it happening to you in the future, this conversation is packed with tips to help you navigate it all with confidence and peace of mind. We hope you enjoy this real and raw chat about a not-so-fun part of the TPT journey - but one that we can learn to handle together!
