The Savvy Teacher Seller with Kristen Doyle Kristen Doyle, TPT seller, SEO coach, and web designer

I have to tell you, when it comes to growing my business, one of the most impactful things that I have done is work on improving my own mindset. And that is maybe a funny thing to say because it's not something super easy to quantify.

You can't look at the data on a spreadsheet and see how things have changed. But I promise you, when I started focusing on managing my own mindset and putting into place some of the strategies that Mikey Sivert and I talk about in today's episode, I saw such a change in the way I treat my business, the risks I'm willing to take, the way that I branch out and try new things, and all of that boils down to things that end up fueling my business and helping me to grow.

02:22 - How Mikey’s passion for helping others with overcoming imposter syndrome began
05:21 - The importance of mindset in the overall success of our businesses as entrepreneurs
11:23 - Defining imposter syndrome and signs you might see in your own lives

In this episode of the Savvy Teacher Seller podcast, I'm delving into the intricacies of pricing strategies for TPT products. It is important to be flexible with prices, and I give personal examples where slight adjustments can lead to significant increases in earnings. Prices are not fixed, and I encourage sellers to experiment with price changes, giving the potential for positive outcomes.

I'm discussing the ideal timing for adjusting prices, as well as the recommended baseline price to avoid transaction fees and enhance perceived product value. I also go into the significance of data analysis, particularly focusing on conversion rates as key indicators for price modifications. I caution you that when lowering prices, we need to first objectively evaluate your products for potential improvements before resorting to price reductions.

02:18 - When to adjust your pricing on TPT
04:06 - How to use data for pricing
05:34 - Best practices for price changes
07:14 - Simplifying price analysis
08:35 - Action steps and recommendations
