Why you need video previews for your TpT Products in 2021 with Chloe Tascoff Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

Boost your conversion rate on Teacher Pay Teachers through Video Previews

A few years ago, Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) rolled out a new initiative that allows you to attach a video preview to your TpT Products. And ever since, there have been a LOT of questions. Questions like: What can this do for my TpT Marketing? Will a preview actually increase my TpT Sales? And most of all...how do I even get started with video?

Why Video Preview Matters

Video previews are so successful because your customers get to see themselves using your TpT products before they buy them. Think about it. Influencer culture works because we can see ourselves living that life. And the same thing is true for your TpT products. A video allows a teacher to visualize using your products, which means that it will be easier for that same teacher to make the decision to purchase your products.

Meet Chloe Tascoff, the Video Marketing Expert

In this episode, I've invited Chloe Tascoff, an expert in the TpT video preview field to share a few powerful reasons why video marketing should matter to you. Chloe started creating videos for TpT sellers in 2019 and, while she has her own store, she also leaned into video production and marketing. Talk about using something you're good at to diversify your income! You're going to be amazed. By focusing on video, she tripled her sales in one month!

Listen here and learn what TpT video preview might start doing for you.

In this episode, you will learn:

-What video editing program is easier to use than iMovie…

-Why most people prefer to watch video online

-Which three areas to focus on in order to create a professional-looking video

-Where else you can use your TpT video previews

-And which social media platform is optimized for your videos!

Boost Your Teachers Pay Teachers Sales with these 5 Systems Feb 17, 2021

Show notes

FROM TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS (TPT) SYSTEMS TO TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS SALES

Hey CEO Teacher! Early in my days of Teacher Pay Teachers (TpT) sales and my CEO Teacher business, I thought I had a secret weapon. I was convinced I could outwork anyone. ANYONE, I tell you. After all, I worked hard. I worked harder than anyone I knew. I even once said, "Hey competitors, you can't outwork me!" Wow, was I wrong! Anyone — and I mean ANYONE — can outwork you, friend. So learn from me and instead of saying, "I can outwork anyone," can you say, "I have the systems in place to make sure my work today isn't in vain"? Saying that second thing is the true test of being a CEO Teacher.

SELLING ON TEACHERS PAY TEACHERS GROWS WITH SYSTEMS

In today's show, I'm going to teach you how to use 5 systems to transform your teacher work muscle into a real replicable model. Lather, rinse, and repeat. Even if you're just starting out, even if you've made zero dollars, OR even if you've made $100,000 selling on TpT…these systems don't require years of experience or fancy tech skills. These systems only require methodical and strategic preparation.

Here's one last thought from Atomic Habits author, James Clear: "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running." Thank you, James — I couldn't agree more. Get ready to fall in love with the process and stand tall with TpT sales growth through these five systems!

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

How to funnel your 537-and-some TpT business store ideas into one cohesive and actionable business plan
Why a simple template will skyrocket your TpT sales
What the power of a support system can do for you as a CEO Teacher
When tracking key metrics will help you see "what's working" and when tracking metrics is just a destruction and reinforces, "what simply makes you excited to post."

7 Extra Streams of Revenue for Any Teacher Feb 10, 2021

Show notes

Turn your lesson plans into multiple streams of revenue in 2021

Hey Friend! Put on your Ray-Bans because Shiny Object Syndrome - it's a real thing. And shiny object syndrome for an entrepreneur is the equivalent of a small child chasing after, well, shiny things. We all know what happens after that. The child loses interest and moves onto the next doodad. Uh-oh. The same is true for CEO Teachers. Raise your hand if chasing shiny objects sounds like you? Hello, me too! That is, that used to sound like me until I learned how to leverage extra streams of revenue to my advantage.

Use different streams of revenue to grow your teacher business and succeed

While different streams of revenue will help you grow your online teacher business, the most successful entrepreneurs I follow are the people who do the same thing over and over again. And when I made the decision to do the same, that's when my business went from side-hustle to millionaire status. So while I use multiple streams of revenue to make a great living today, I only use a few of those streams as my PRIMARY source of income.

In today's show, no matter if you're just beginning or if you're ready to take the leap into full-time - I'm going to share with you a secret formula I've never shared before. This formula will lead to 7 different streams of revenue for any teacher. Get ready for a silly acronym AND extra streams of revenue success in your airpods. Put on your shades, take a walk in the sun, press play, and enjoy this episode.

In this episode, you will learn:

-How you can use TpT right away to find purpose and make MAJOR extra revenue

-The essential ingredient you need BEFORE you start blogging

-The little-known secret to affiliate marketing

-How I think about partnerships within my own business

-And how you can skyrocket your growth through tutoring, courses, or a membership
