THE RIGHT WAY TO START A TPT SHOP | What I would do if I could do it all over....

[@suadnaem9621]

I’m a brand new on it, I highly appreciate your time and it’s very generous of you to share your drawbacks with us!💜

[@BeccaDavis]

Welcome to the club! Thanks for watching. I hope it helps!

[@nicolehoffarts]

I'm new to the TPT, KZbin, and Instagram teacher world, but I've been teaching art for 14 years and I have made countless resources over the years that I would love to share with others. Thank you so much for making these videos to help inspire my journey!

[@BeccaDavis]

I’m so glad you’re finally sharing all your ideas!

[@bridgingfundamentalshomesc2026]

I think getting more products in my shop is a goal I really need to focus on. Thanks for your advice!

[@BeccaDavis]

Get to it! This is the perfect time to do it! You’re welcome!

[@bbarnett1305]

Great video. Thank you for sharing as I am just starting out on tpt and learning as I go. Many of your videos have been so helpful. Thank you!

[@BeccaDavis]

B Barnett That’s how I did it too.... although there’s a little more information available now!

[@LearningwithMrsOkoro]

This came right on time!! I've been following your journey and you've made great progress 👏🏾🙌🏾

[@BeccaDavis]

Yay! Thank you!

[@kellibolton2053]

This was so helpful, thank you for your insights.

[@BeccaDavis]

You’re welcome!

[@TheAllisonExchange]

I started my TPT recently and your videos are so helpful! thx!

[@BeccaDavis]

Yay! That’s so exciting!

[@ella_sophia_j2601]

I'm late to your videos and new to the German TPT equivalent (called Eduki). Thanks to your advice I had a great start. I had my first sale two days after uploading my first product. And sales continue. I get at least one sales email each day and for just about three weeks in I guess that's not too bad ;-)

[@BeccaDavis]

That’s awesome!

[@thejoyfultutor]

This is all so useful Becca thank you.

[@BeccaDavis]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@timothyperrigoue3997]

I just realized one more thing. [ And yes I am new to all this after having TPT recommended by a teacher friend ] Maybe a good idea to ask a few random teachers from different disciplines: "What do you need/what could you use?" Thank you Ms. Davis for your enthusiastic presentation.

[@BeccaDavis]

That is a great idea!

[@jtcollymore]

I would do all this and more - thanks

[@BeccaDavis]

It will make a difference!

[@user-sv3un6xh2z]

Thank you

[@ItsAllPrimary]

Great tips! I like the idea of making a goal of 50 products for your base. I learned from Kayse Morris about creating products in bulk so that they will eventually become a bundle. So great minds think alike! Thanks for your great videos!

[@BeccaDavis]

I’ve never heard her mention that, but it is a big deal! It would have saved me SO MUCH TIME if I’d started that way.

[@angelabuckley4570]

Thank you Becca 🥰

[@BeccaDavis]

You’re welcome Angela!

[@chasehassen5650]

Cool topic! I’m brand new so this is helpful

[@BeccaDavis]

Chase H Glad it was helpful!

[@samanthatonsaker5316]

Great advice. Thank you!

[@BeccaDavis]

You’re so welcome!

[@homeedconnect]

You are SO helpful! Thank you.

[@BeccaDavis]

I'm so glad! Good luck!

[@BirthingBravelyandBeyond]

Yay!!! I love that you talked about bundles. They really do make a difference. I like to bundle my children's books as themes for story retell

[@BeccaDavis]

They do! I wish I’d done bundles earlier! That’s a great idea!

[@maryanadublanko1732]

Thanks! Great video tips. Just wanted to give you heads up that the video cuts when you are talking about the social media platforms. Not sure if it was meant that way but just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to re-edit and post :)

[@BeccaDavis]

Sorry my dog started barking. You didn’t miss anything! Yes. Reserve your brand name on each social platform.

[@hattyrichardson9241]

Great video! Can you make videos on product lines and strategies??

[@BeccaDavis]

I’ll add it to the idea list!

[@chasehassen5650]

Do you do 1 on 1 coaching? I’m really hoping to get some consulting on how to setup advertising and where to do that. I’ve seen sponsored posts on Pinterest but I guess I’m wondering what the best practices are...

[@BeccaDavis]

Chase H Yes I do! You can sign up for 25 minutes or 55 minutes here: mailchi.mp/da8a659484e5/coaching-call

[@chasehassen5650]

Becca Davis awesome 😎 booked it! Can’t wait to chat. Thank you!

[@deerpark39]

This is what I came to the comments to ask. Actually found you on TPT while looking for a last minute Children's Church lesson.

[@helenstratton-eardley1681]

How do I start a second store? I have taught grades 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. I started out making digital primary math, then I made writing activities (because I needed them), digital upper elementary math, and digital maps. I want to niche. I work really hard on my store with little success. I think niching might help (primary math vs big kids math).

[@BeccaDavis]

You could probably get away with one store, just using the categories. But if you want to make a second one, you can do that, you just create a new account with a new email

[@kaleighc5284]

How do you find fonts and clipart you can use in the things you sell? I’m really struggling with this!

[@taylorgatten8902]

Search "commercial use fonts" or "commercial use clip art" in TPT :).

[@zakforbusiness3390]

Hi Becca thanks for sharing , i wanna ask you please , are wallowed to open a second shop using the same name, email and banking account of our first TPT shop ?

[@BeccaDavis]

No you need a different email and name

[@christinawilsonmath]

Do you have to pay the membership fee for each store?

[@BeccaDavis]

Yes I do! They are two separate stores.

[@mycatholicliving]

Hi there, I am wondering…is there really much more offered in your paid course verses what you have listed on KZbin? Do you reuse the same videos that are on KZbin in the paid course? I am interested in starting my business summer 2022. Thanks

[@BeccaDavis]

Hi! The courses have way more info, plus a ton of printables to help you get organized and started, plus it's more structured. They have different videos, although if I have a relevant KZbin video I'll sometimes also upload it in there as a bit of a bonus, but most of the content is only for the courses.

[@Me-mw5zx]

Ummm... You cut off... You would reserve your brand name all social media?

[@BeccaDavis]

Sorry my dog started barking. You didn’t miss anything! Yes. Reserve your brand name on each social platform.

[@saarahkhan5051]

Do you have to pay anything else other than the $60 upfront?

[@BeccaDavis]

Tpt takes a commission of 20%. But that’s ways less then the 45% plus the transaction fee they take if you don’t upgrade!

[@saarahkhan5051]

@@BeccaDavis definitely! Thank you so much.. Just last night I looked at 1 of your vids where you had it explained a little more.. the only problem for me is that I'm not from the US and the conversion rate is a lot.. so that $60 for me is actually around $420.00 😭😭

[@karlaearnhart3839]

Thank you for making this video! It was really helpful!

[@BeccaDavis]
