Treat your store like a business because it is. That is so true. I was just dabbling for the first 2 years, and now I'm way more serious. I've grown more over the last 6 months of taking it seriously than I did in 2 years of just winging it.

Hi Becca! One thing I did was to try and find something I had that was different and unique from everyone else on TpT. It was really hard because there is so much (!) and so far I have only found one thing but I did it. I worked really hard on my product and it is the most expensive product I have but it has been selling. Competition is really tough out there. Thank you for all your help and suggestions in the past. I still have a problem with getting people to leave feedback.

I want to continue focusing on digital product creation such as digital quizzes, card sorts, and escape rooms. I purchased a digital planner and am using it to help me organize everything, along with Trello. I want to use these tools to get better at batching and planning out each product. I want to make it to 50 products!

I find it difficult to estimate how long a particular thing is going to take. I sit down to design and love to keep working once creativity starts to flow; however I have so many other things to do during the day. Some things I make take longer and some take much less time, but since each product is unique, it is hard to predict. I try to use templates to help with this, so I'm not starting from scratch every time. I recently started my business and have set schedules of what needs to be done daily, weekly, and monthly. You are ABSOLUTELY right and shouldn't be scared to give sage advice to upgrade as you go, because this is best! Thanks, Becca!

I need to watch this daily for motivation. 😂. I'd love a video about how to find the metrics we should track.

This is amazing! Love this content!! Thank you!!!🎉

Thanks for your honesty, Becca. Yep, don't invest money that you are not making on your business! I've spent alot of money, but sadly, from not treating my business like a business, I haven't made so much! Focusing on better planning for this upcoming year!

One thing I will stop doing is sitting down to my computer without a plan!

Hi Becca ! I just did my Continue/Review/Stop/Start list and looking at my TPT stats I was wondering if you are planning on doing a video about conversion rates eventually? I love your videos, they give me a lot of tricks and motivation. PS- Sorry for the english I am francophone hihi

I am going to make sure I am ONLY using profits to buy clip art because I love to buy new clip art and that will (hopefully) entice me to create more products. BTW I got your book and it is phenomenal. Easy read but packed with valuable information.

thanks Becca always planning while listing to you .

Hi Becca! I have been scratching the surface of opening my TPT store. I need to work on scheduling time to work on my business. There are so many distractions! I am getting better every day!

I love your videos so much.

Hi, Becca. Thank you very much for all the videos. They gave me more power before I started producing content. Is there a video where you talk about the income more deeply? I am seriously planning to become a full time freelancer, so i am not really sure what to expect. Thank you very much!

One thing I will be doing is sticking to my organizational sticky notes board. It is really helpful and seeing it all laid out so I can just focus on thing at a time.

I need to get better at planning how I'm going to spend my work time, not for my TpT store. I'm always full of ideas for that. But for the educational consulting business I started in 2020, because apparently starting a TpT store and dealing with a global pandemic in 2020 just wasn't enough for me. Anyway, I spend more time learning about TpT and such than starting a consulting firm, which is probably why my TpT store is starting to turn a profit but I have no consulting clients... I love that your advice on TpT highlighted how I can solve this other problem not related to my store at all. Thank you.

Hi Becca! I just got my first 3-star review 😭😭😭 (I had consistent 5-star ratings until today). Can you make a video or blog about how to handle negative reviews? FYI - The buyer was upset because they noticed a couple grammar issues on the product.

Ha Ha! I am one of those lucky few that was able to invest lots of money WITHOUT making any money. Well, I don't count the $6 dollars I have made as making money. What I have to say about buying all the things up front is this. It is TOO overwhelming. I bought a very expensive course. It's great, but as a newbie it was TOO overwhelming. And it made me feel like a failure because I always felt SO behind. My advice-take a class that only focuses on one thing.

You are so right. We have to invest time into our business! I need to schedule times to actually work on my TPT products and follow through. I also use the apps..Fetch, Ibotta, ect. 😍

I need to work on my schedule! I'm a full time 3rd grade teacher and a grandmother to 4 boys under 4 so my schedule is packed! I do want to start a blog. I just have to figure out if I can be consistent enough to make it worth the money. Thank you for your videos. I love them!

I’ve just started my business and have been good about dedicating time to it. My goal is to keep that time up....even in the lean months!!!

Great video, thanks Becca! I've loved all your free videos and I copy some of your emails and website for ideas. I did buy your course, which was very affordable, so thanks! I plan to CONTINUE making products, to get up to that Magic 50. That's my priority for my TPT biz this year. Thanks again and keep on posting!

I'm a stay at home mom, so I teach a few Outschool classes while my son is awake (he WILL NOT sleep through me talking... 🤣) and I focus all nap times and after he goes to sleep on my TpT and our Etsy business. It's a huge work in progress because I JUST got this crazy toddler to start staying asleep in his bed. 😅 But now I am going CRAZY with all this time I can focus on our business goals! I just really have to focus on writing a list because... Sometimes I don't and I have so many things I want to get done for both. I have to say ok this day is TpT day, this day is Etsy day, this day is tax prep day, etc. 😊

I'm planning my products this month. It is not a perfect process yet, but it is getting better.

Becca-- Just started watching your videos...I actually have a notebook to take notes!! My question is...I have many people downloading my free products, and not as many purchasing my other products. I figure, my products, on the whole, must be ok if people are downloading free products...what can I do to get as many PURCHASING??? Should I make more of my freebies... paid products? It gets a little frustrating when I check my product stats (weekly) and see the only things getting traction are my freebies!

Thank you💞

Continue - Making and uploading products to reach my goal of 100 this year. I have completed 6 so far in 2021 and currently have 65 Yay!
