Sometimes when you set out to have an interview about selling on TpT, you unexpectedly receive a magical experience that sets your soul on fire. Friend, I am so excited for you, because setting your heart ablaze is exactly what today’s episode is going to do. Whether you’re wondering how to sell on TpT, how to start your TpT store, or how to hear more of those TpT dashboard “cha-chings!,” this podcast episode will undoubtedly be an inspiration. For what it’s worth, my recommendation would be to bookmark this episode and return to it again and again or anytime you’re wondering how to sell on TpT or how to sell more on TpT. Because there’s so much more here than just for TpT sellers (or soon-to-be sellers). Rather, today you’re going to hear how to move beyond being TpT teachers and, instead, move toward becoming a CEO Teacher®…with the help of these three success stories.
It is my pleasure to introduce three amazing ladies who have been students inside of the CEO Teacher® School. Friend, meet Sydney Lafrenz, Jocelynn Hubbard, and Keanna Funderburk. They are, indeed, going to talk about how they are rocking it in their businesses — what they do, what their trials and tribulations have been, and, most of all, how they found success as TpT sellers. That’s right, there’s waaaaaay MORE to being a TpT seller than having a TpT store. So get your pen and paper ready, sit back, and listen to this roundtable of ladies share how they did it and what they’re doing now.
Jocelynn Hubbard is the founder and managing director of Custom Teaching Solutions, LLC. She is an experienced educator, speaker, professional development creator, and facilitator. Driven by a passion to see the diverse people of our world feel welcomed, affirmed, and celebrated, she provides training on becoming and remaining culturally competent. As a wife and mother of five, her goals include squeezing in time for exercise, finding moments of joy each day, and parenting each of her children as unique individuals. Jocelynn received a B.S. in Education from Miami University (OH) and an MA in Education from The University of North Carolina – Pembroke. She also has a graduate certificate in Gifted & Talented instruction from The University of North Carolina – Charlotte.
Sydney Lafrenz holds a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. She taught 4th grade for 7 years but left the classroom a year ago to focus on supporting student teachers in landing their dream job and transitioning from student to teacher. While working from home as a TpT seller and her Teacher For Hire online coaching course, Sydney is also a mom to 2 girls and one little boy on the way!
Keanna Funderburk currently teaches fourth-grade math, science, and social studies in Metro Atlanta. She specializes in making learning engaging for students and making upper elementary math instruction hands-on. She was named her school's 2020 Teacher of the Year. In her seven years as an educator, she has also had experience teaching 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade. She uses social media to share teaching ideas, connect with other educators and The Art of FUNology is her TpT store.
