Summary

How to make products for teachers pay teachers

I’ve got a question for you, teacher friend — when the end-of-year school bell rings, what do you do with those top-notch worksheets that you poured time, energy, and copious amounts of caffeine into creating? Do you (a) squirrel those precious resources away into one of your 102,000 file folders or do you (b) make a few minor tweaks to your worksheets and then list them on Teachers Pay Teachers? If you opted for option A, maybe that’s because you’re wondering: how much does it cost to sell on teachers pay teachers? Or maybe you’re thinking how do you make products to sell on teacher pay teachers? Or, perhaps most of all, maybe you feel like you have a good handle on the how-to part, but you’re still wondering how much money can you make selling on teachers pay teachers?

20th century poetry seem every bit as exciting as the latest episode of Gossip Girl, which

your eighth grade class physically cannot stop talking about.
