When you’re just starting out and your email list may be small, it is important to use social media to learn more about your teachers and to attract your community to your message. Choose at least one or two social media platforms that you’ll post to on a weekly basis.
Today Instagram guru Jamie Jasperson talks about Instagram because let’s be real our audience of teachers is already spending time there. Jamie talks about being specific to your brand (the personality of your business). So the bottom line is to be human. Invite your community in, by sharing some personal details. Your community wants to get to know YOU just as much as they want to learn from you.
Jamie offers some really incredible insight into building a brand and using Instagram as a platform to share our message. I hope you stick around.

Teacherpreneurs can show up massively during this national crisis. Lisa Van Gemert and I sit down to discuss some options during this time of madness.
One important thing this time has given me is the opportunity to analyzie the systems I have in place.
We are in the middle of it right now and it silumtaniously a crisis and an opportunity.
It’s an opportunity for us to evaluate. Is what we had working for us and is it going to work for us even when it all blows up?
These times make us ask ourselves what skills and tools do I already have? What I didn’t have is some of the other skills. But that is the adjacent possible.
Whatever is going on there will always be subgroups that benefit from what is going on. That is economics.
This is our chance to show Legislatures we don’t need to be burdned with standardized testing. We will lead out. We will lead out for what is best for kids in any situation no matter where we stand. We will stand for kids. We will stand for learning. We can do it, and you can trust us.
We can use this to make ourselves the educators we always wanted to be.

30: The Astounding Why That Drives Teacherpreneurs
As a teacherpreneur, your why may vary greatly from another fellow teacher-author. Maybe you do what you do to impact education. Maybe your reason is to pay off a student loan, get ahead in the bills department, or maybe it is for the extra luxuries your additional income affords you! Or maybe it is all of the above. Either way, our whys drive us. They push us towards the finish line time and time again.

5 Easy Steps for Affiliate Marketing for Teacherpreneurs
Have you considered adding an additional source of income to your business? Affiliate marketing can be the extra money source you are looking for. Recommending products you have used or digital courses you have taken can earn you some extra cash just by promoting and mentioning them in your next blog or podcast.
The win-win effect comes in when you truly believe what you are offering is something of great value to your audience, then they purchase it through your unique link, they get what they need/want, and you get a small commission on the sale. You are doing some of the leg work, but it is something you believe in and would share anyway because the product is so awesome!
This week I am going to share 5 easy steps for affiliate marketing for teacherpreneurs and a little behind the scenes of my partnership with Amy Porterfield’s Digital Course Academy. I hope you’ll join me.
Teacherpreneurs, Are Digital Courses for You?
Are you ready to create a digital course, but clueless about where to start? Well, if anyone can demystify digital courses and get you to the finish line without getting sucked into overwhelm, it’s my friend and mentor Amy Porterfield.

Angie dives into the importance of perseverance, grit, and staying the course. She offers valuable insight into the things we can actually control. You will be amazed!
One of my favorite parts of this interview is how adamant Angie is about mindset. It is truly the key. She stops herself at one point in the conversation and says, “I’m not going to use that language.” She won’t even allow herself to speak in a way that isn’t affirming. I love that!

Why Should I Create a Digital Course?

Fulfilling Your Purpose With TpT
Melissa Falkner, a fellow teacherpreneur, shares her journey through teaching and finding a way to stay home with her three sons. Melissa also talks about how she has created her own path with teaching online and selling her resources on TpT, and in turn, she has taken her purpose and shared it globally.
Melissa’s attitude is fantastic. She has a tremendous amount of grit and determination to make the world better for her own children and others around the world. She is on a mission to help parents who face hard roads when their children are delayed or have issues that make learning and traditional schooling more difficult.
Melissa and I also discuss what you can get done when you have a limited amount of time to work on TpT. There is so much to do. Where do you start?
There comes a time on your TpT journey where you realize there is more to creating products then just throwing them up on TpT. There is an abundance of tasks we can take on to stand out in the crowd. But what do you do if you have limited time?
Create quality products!
Write good titles and precise descriptions. (Melissa shares an excellent strategy for finding keywords.)
Make eye-catching covers.
Connect with your audience. (This can be on Instagram, Facebook, blogging, podcasting, but pick ONE if you have limited time.)
Help your audience know who you are. Share your story. Be vulnerable. Our audience WANTS to know us, and those that don’t aren’t our people, and that’s okay.

Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
We are going to talk today about getting out of your comfort zone. And not only being proud of what you do, and owning it but also standing up in front of people and telling people about it. My guest Hallie Sherman is a Speech-Language Pathologist in the New York school system who is here to talk about getting out of your comfort zone. She even spoke at the TpT conference in Austin this year, sharing the importance of being brave and putting yourself out there.
Hallie’s journey began by finding a hole on Pinterest. She was one of maybe ten other speech-language pathologists who were blogging. She then started creating products on TpT, and the rest is history.
Hallie was anonymous for about three years, but she quickly realized that she couldn’t put her voice into things staying silent. She couldn’t build the know, like, and trust you factor by remaining in the background.
As TpT has evolved into being a marketplace that teachers are proud to be a buyer, authors have become more open about who they are and what they do. If Hallie could share one thing, she says-
Be proud of what you have accomplished. Be proud of it and own it. I’m proud of it. I did it. Hear me, roar.
Hallie also offers advice about finding your niche and then realizing when it is time to niche down even further when the marketplace gets crowded. She is a wealth of ideas and indeed, an exceptional person. Take a listen for more.

Today we are going to talk about how we find time to add new things to our business. As an expert in all things teaching, we find making the transition to creating products for our business the relatively easy part. Although, once we actually get serious about what we are doing and seeing it as a business, we realize there is a lot more to it. That’s when we have to shift into high gear and learn some valuable skills. Time management, organization, marketing, branding, social media, graphic designer and the list goes on. If only there was enough time in the day. Today, I ‘m going to offer you some tips on how to find the time to learn crucial skills for your business.
7 Timesavers to Learning New Things for Teacherpreneurs
Take one thing at a time.
Start with a goal.
Find an expert to learn from.
Talk it through with an accountability partner.
Keep things organized.
Analyze your progress.
Focus on sub-skills.
Today I have the pleasure of speaking with one of my students from Podcasting Academy for Teacherpreneurs, Miki Leckie. Miki is a visionary who is taking her strengths and teaching knowledge and creating a business she loves. She is not only launching a store, but she is also launching a podcast at the same time! Miki is brave and courageous and is preparing to share with the world her knowledge about differentiated learning.
Podcasting can be such a powerful part of your business strategy. Not only does a podcast allow you to share your message with teachers, it allows you to make valuable connections to your audience, expand your reach on a variety of platforms, offer your teachers consistent value, and help develop the know, like, and trust, you factor that we all need when we are offering services to teachers.
Join Miki and I as we discuss taking what you know and love and creating a business you love. Be on the look out for Miki. This teacherpreneur is going places!

The Power of Podcasting A Conversation
Podcasting in your business can be a game changer. As a podcaster you have the ability to speak directly to your audience in a unique and authentic manner. That’s the beauty of podcasting. There is room for everyone and there are also podcasts for everyone.
Podcasting allows teacherpreneurs to connect with their audience in an intimate way. You are showing up consistently and offering your teachers value. Podcasting builds the know like and trust factor by building relationships and connections.
Podcasting also allows teacherpreneurs to get ahead of the curve. Podcasting is growing and will continue to get even bigger in the next 3-5 years. It truly is amazing. The earlier you begin the journey, the better.
The other aspect of podcasting for your business is the ability to expand your reach. Thanks to a variety of platforms such as Apple Podcast and more, teacherpreneurs have the opportunity to reach people on all platforms.
Farrah and I talk about the value of podcasting and the importance of showing up consistently for your audience. Join us to hear more.
The online marketing world can be so overwhelming. And it is easier for people to turn off when they are on social media. With so many algorithms it is very easy for you to get lost. When you look at podcasting, I put podcasting up there along the same lines as an email list. It is a very personal thing to give someone your email address. I think podcasting is the same thing with a little bit more anonymity. It allows you into somebody’s ear, and it allows you to give your voice to what your ideas are. It is some much more personal to be in someone’s ear. - Farrah Shipley Henely
I think podcasting is something everybody should really think about if they have something to share. -Farrah

There is so much we can learn from one another as teacherpreneurs. In Episode Two, I share some gold nuggets from seasoned teacher authors who share with fellow teacherpreneurs.
