- Definitely purchase the upgraded TPT sellers package. It is well worth it.
-Creating your products in Power Point is very helpful. You can duplicate slides making creating quicker.
-Make sure you change the slide to 8.5 x 11 or 11x 8.5 to enhance printing.
-All those cute backgrounds are super easy to insert when using Power Point or Google Slides. Just select the background option. If you want to insert a design, have one downloaded as png or a jpeg and insert it.
-Where do TPT sellers get their clipart? I like to use mycutegraphics.com for free clipart. After you have started making some money, you can invest in some other clipart. I strongly recommend you buy your clipart from other TPT sellers. We have to stick together! Just be sure you give the artist credit on your product. This stands true for using mycutegraphics.com too. Always give credit where it is due.
-You can use wikipedia images too! You have to give them credit though.
- Create things you would use in your classroom, try them out with your class, tweak them as necessary and post them! Be sure to polish them up. Remember you want to put your best out there.
-Be sure to offer a FREEBIE. This attracts new followers and is a great way to show off your stuff!
-Get your products out there, but posting them on Pinterest. Don't make a rookie mistake of not adding the site in which you want the pin to lead. Insert the link to the product on the pin in the section labeled Source. In order to get here, you have to "edit" your pin.
- Here are some things I like to do:
- Use Word Art for Titles (You can make it pop)
- Be creative with font, but keep in mind what age group will be reading it.
- Use cute clipart and backgrounds
- I ask my students what they think! After all, they are the true customers here!
There is so much to tell! If you have a question, just post it, and I will do my best to answer it.
