I like how diplomatically and fairly you handled each of the situations you mentioned, especially the issue of people copying your work. I think it is a good lesson for our students about the importance of creating their own work. Thanks, as always!

Thanks for the tips. I have a TPT store and I agree with the tip of not looking at other products but just using your own ideas from the classroom. My problem is consistency. I seem to like to experiment with different styles and fonts. I like your idea on just sticking with a certain set of fonts and clipart. I'm going to try that ❤

Thank you for sharing! This was such a great video. I was heartbroken when a much bigger seller directly copied my most loved resource. I was so proud of my resource and I put so much time, attention and love into it - and then someone else copied it completely - same font, clipart, design, concept, everything. I couldn't believe it. I was crushed. As a community we must honor and respect each other's creativity and copyright. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Please don’t be scared away from this content! I think the steps are really helpful. I’m loving this teacher pay teacher series! ❤️ unfortunately a few people copying you, ruin it for people actually trying to use your steps to start our own original designs

Thanks, Michelle! You talked me right out of it. I’d rather support content creators. 😉

Another fantastic video for this series Michelle!!! 👏 Again this is all SOLID advice and the effort you’ve gone to making this video 👌 I wish I had this video when I first started in 2020 but have learnt over my time being on TPT! This will help so many future TPT sellers! 🌸 awesome job & thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊

I downloaded your Google Keep Header then I realized I needed other headers, I created my own and am glad to say it blends in with yours seamlessly so it looks all part of one set - Let it be known that I have no intentions to sell. :D

Hello Michelle, this is a great that you can help others.

Thank you for the color palette suggester! I've really been struggling with finding the right ones. Creating a brand is so important, but not intuitive at all. I'll be exploring this soon!

Seriously thank you so much for creating this series. So helpful and I’m excited to get started with some awareness of what to expect!

Thank you Michelle ☺️Brilliant video with invaluable advice and information. In the UK we have a similar platform called Tes and your mini-series on TPT has given me inspiration and more know-how to get started.

this video is full of valuable information, thank you for sharing! :)

I would love to see a video on How to use Clipart. I recently bought some and now can’t figure out how to undo my mistake.

I love this video. I made a calendar it got removed. Someone said it was theirs exactly. I am wondering how about Ispy and all that. Isn't that the same? Bingo and all the other duplicated stuff on TPT. It got removed. I am just wondering how do you make products unique?

Loving this series! Thanks Michelle

Color are not copyrighted right? So can someone else used the same brand color?

For example I decided to design flash cards and I didn’t look anywhere for inspiration because I wanted to be original and yet they look similar to my competitors 😂

So I was inspired to do worksheets about my curriculum. There is user that does them too, but it’s not exactly how I would like them to look. Would I be able to do a phonics study guide or phonics chart creating my products? I’m trying not to copy the curriculum at all, but I’m scared some of the info is very similar to this other account. That creator is the ONLY one doing the curriculum I have. And I just don’t like how they’re laid out and can be confusing to some parents (first grade HW packets).

Do you design your own clip art ? Or do you buy it from a specific place?

Wondering do you create all your resources on Google drive or on keynote and then upload to Google drive?

I understand that you can use free images from Pixabay to create products to sell, but their terms of use clearly state that you must modify or alter the image before using it as part of your product. What does that mean? Can you give me an example? I have teaching Google Slides I created, and would like to sell them as a product on TPT, but I've used free Pixabay images and I am not sure how to alter them. Just so you have a clear idea of my product, I will give you an example. I teach Spanish, and on my teaching slides I could have a picture of a girl's face (from Pixabay) and underneath, a description of her eyes and hair in Spanish as part of a unit on physical descriptions. Can I use images for that purpose without altering them? Please let me know what you think, or how you would alter them. Thank you!

Random thought Michelle, please set me straight if it doesnt make sense. So, in order to keep all the comission for products you put so much time into, could you just have your own website and sell your products through there?

Can you have a store on TeachersPayTeachers when you are a daycare educator looking to start a small design business? I'm curious because I'm a college student looking to have a side business

Can you please make a video on how to create an editable product?

I have a question about making resources that accompany your district’s curriculum. I’d like to make resources to go along with my reading and science programs. Can I sell those and mention the program’s name on TPT? For example, Markers & Minions sells products that go along with the Benchmark language arts program. Are there any steps that should be taken first, such as reaching out to those companies? Or is it OK not to?

I'm 87.35% sure that I will not sell on TpT (but never say never), however, I've enjoyed and learned a lot from this series. One question I have, if you haven't filmed your Q & A yet is about All Access TpT. My school district subscribes and as a buyer, I wonder how sellers get paid for that. Is it worth it for sellers to be on All Access, or would I be helping sellers more if I purchased from my personal account? How does All Access work from the sellers point of view?

Hello Michelle. I have some questions: I don't live in USA, can I have a TpT account and receive money from the resources that I have created? How can I receive the money if I sell a product? Does TpT allow products in languages different from English? Thanks!

I’ve been teaching for years and I’m also baffled by how much I learn each year….. getting better and wiser…. I’ve made a lot of booboos

Hi!! Can we use this series for selling/creating digital products in general?

Middle part

How do you put the "glow" effect on images in Canva? Is it a premium (Pro) feature?

I tried to send M an email but it failed. Someone plz tell her that I have a few marketing ideas. Another thing, I'd love to buy her $2 product for 5 different teachers. If this message reaches her, we will see if we could work it out.

How do you find the funny clips
