3 Top Secret Ways To Sell Your Teaching Resources Online and Change Your Life!
My Profile: Wife, Mother, Teacher, Go-getter & Online Teacherpreneur.
My back story: In 2017 I finally achieved a long time goal and earned my Doctorate degree in Educational Leadership. I was ready to TAKE ON THE WORLD of education, but my family was not ready for me to work long days, nights and sometimes weekends.
My family needed me, so my career needed to take a back seat for a while.
Although I cherish time with my family, there was a part of me that became depressed, I mean REALLY down in the dumps. I felt I had all this knowledge I wanted to share with the teaching world, but was limited by my situation.
TEACHER SOUL
Sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself is not me. I had a moment when I thought: “Okay one door to happiness closed, girl get up and open a damn window already and let in some fresh air!”
So I opened my figurative window, or rather the Internet, and found Kayse Morris from Teaching on Less, she was the breath of fresh air my TEACHER SOUL needed. Kayse is a former classroom teacher turned online business marketer, go-getter & a boss mama!
Top Secret Tip # 1: Download the FREE Workbook
I had bought teaching products online before from sites like TPT and I envied all the savvy, teacherpeners that had blogs and shops selling their resources. What an AWESOME way to reach out and help other teachers.
I bought a TPT sellers’ membership and then did NOTHING with it for a year because I didn’t know where to start, there was so much to learn, and I had so many questions and no one to ask.
Then I came across Kayse Morris on Youtube. She was so upbeat, genuine, and generous about sharing her knowledge of selling her teaching resources online.
And even better she had just written a FREE Workbook: The First 10 Step Guide to Selling Your Teaching Resources Online. Her workbook is a treasure trove of tips, tricks, and advice for the newbie seller. A MUST download for anyone serious about selling their resources online.
Top Secret Tip # 2: Take Kayse ‘s Course Transforming Your Resources
In November 2018 Kayse offered her first online course Transforming Your Resources, although I was scared because I had never taken an online course that was not affiliated with a university, I signed up.
It was the best class I EVER took. NO JOKE.
Transforming Your Resources is such a well put together course. Kayse has thought of everything that someone starting their journey selling their resource needs to know: from the ins and outs of product creation, branding, basic social media marketing and more… the course was so informative and in a few short weeks I sold my first product online… actually I sold four within the span of 48 hours.
Before taking Transforming Your Resources, I had legit ZERO social media skills and no understanding on how to market my business online. Within a few months of taking Kayse’s course I now have a brand, Teacher Pay Teacher store, a facebook page, an Instagram , a Pinterest account, and a website.

Top Secret Tip # 3: Join the Transforming Your Resource Facebook Group
