How to become limitless while selling on TpT and beyond
Sometimes when you set out to have an interview about selling on TpT, you unexpectedly receive a magical experience that sets your soul on fire. Friend, I am so excited for you, because setting your heart ablaze is exactly what today's episode is going to do. Whether you're wondering how to sell on TpT, how to start your TpT store, or how to hear more of those TpT dashboard "cha-chings!," this podcast episode will undoubtedly be an inspiration. For what it's worth, my recommendation would be to bookmark this episode and return to it again and again or anytime you're wondering how to sell on TpT or how to sell more on TpT. Because there's so much more here than just for TpT sellers (or soon-to-be sellers). Rather, today you're going to hear how to move beyond being TpT teachers and, instead, move toward becoming a CEO Teacher®…with the help of these three success stories.
How to sell on TpT with Jocelynn, Sydney, and Keanna It is my pleasure to introduce three amazing ladies who have been students inside of the CEO Teacher® School. Friend, meet Sydney Lafrenz, Jocelynn Hubbard, and Keanna Funderburk. They are, indeed, going to talk about how they are rocking it in their businesses — what they do, what their trials and tribulations have been, and, most of all, how they found success as TpT sellers. That's right, there's waaaaaay MORE to being a TpT seller than having a TpT store. So get your pen and paper ready, sit back, and listen to this roundtable of ladies share how they did it and what they're doing now.
