The Terrific Teacherpreneur – Details, episodes & analysis

In this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I celebrate my 200th episode of the podcast! I asked the following question: What have you done lately in your business that has had a big, positive impact on your earnings? Ten sellers (new and veteran) shared their wisdom with me.

In this episode, I read out their advice and chat about:

• The common habits and strategies successful sellers are prioritizing right now
• The types of products that sell well
• Adapting to a changing TPT and AI landscape
• Why being human and building relationships with your audience may be more important than ever

A few recurring themes came up again and again across different niches and store sizes.

It appears that success comes from creating strategically, marketing consistently, serving a specific audience, and building products that teachers come back for again and again.

If you've been wondering what's actually working on TPT as of 2026, this episode is packed with practical ideas and plenty of encouragement!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of my wonderful listeners.  I wouldn't be doing this without each and every single one of you!

Also, thank you to the sellers who responded!

On this week’s episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I discuss why it might feel like you're doing everything right in your TPT store...but your resources just aren't getting views.

I talk about:

• The shift from constantly making more products to focusing on visibility
• Why relying only on TPT search can feel risky
• The biggest misconceptions TPT sellers have about Pinterest
• Sustainable marketing strategies for busy teacher business owners

The problem isn’t that your products aren’t good enough...it’s that not enough people are seeing them.
