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.
