We pray you are filled with joy as we step into this month of celebrating Jesus - God born among us and changing our human story forever. We have so much to rejoice in and to give thanks for. The holiday season is often filled with gatherings, celebrations and yummy food, and we pray that in the midst of it all, you are able to enjoy the richness of life that we have in Christ! Psalm 23:5 (TPT) says, “You become my delicious feast.” David knew God deeply—he loved Him, followed Him, and trusted Him. He didn't just worship God from a distance; he experienced God through His daily provision. We want to be like David—learning to feast on who God is. Because when we do, God forms a joy in us that no circumstance can steal.“How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.” —Psalm 36:7–9 NIVWhat better way to celebrate Jesus than to take time today to feast on who God is? His love is extravagant, His peace is abundant, and He is fully accessible to all who come to Him.Feasting starts with small choices:Pausing to thank HimOpening your BibleTurning your affection toward HimBreathing in His presenceTelling Him the Truth about your heartLetting Him meet you where you actually areFor more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

What if the real reason your TPT store isn't scaling has nothing to do with effort or even product quality? We dig into the hidden growth lever most sellers miss: building a simple, coherent sales machine that turns one resource into many repeat purchases. Instead of chasing the algorithm or piling up a cold email list, we map a clear path from strategic product lines to value‑first marketing and trust that compounds.We start by reframing growth around a product line that serves a specific teacher need across many topics. That focus lets you market timeless benefits—student engagement, easier prep, smoother routines—while always having the exact resource a buyer needs this week. From there, we walk through a practical funnel: choose one line, craft a free opt‑in that delivers a quick classroom win, and build an email sequence that alternates pure teaching with concise offers. The goal isn't a quick spike; it's a rhythm that earns attention, proves credibility, and makes the purchase feel like the next logical step.You'll hear how to replace random uploads with intentional gaps to fill, how to expand a line based on teacher requests, and how to re‑introduce the same products seasonally without sounding repetitive. We also break down the shift from short‑term sales thinking to long‑term loyalty—what to say after the first purchase, how to keep buyers coming back, and when to introduce adjacent lines that leverage existing trust. If you've been hovering under the $2K mark, this framework gives you a focused way to grow without burnout or guesswork.Ready to plan your year around what actually drives sales?

When a handful of students seem determined to derail your lesson plans, it can feel like your classroom is running you instead of the other way around. But the most successful teachers know how to redirect chaos into cooperation by understanding what's driving the disruption and transforming it into engagement. Doing so not only protects the learning environment for all students but also turns disruptive behavior into positive leadership opportunities. In today's episode, I'm sharing practical tools and strategies you can use when your energy feels consumed by managing challenging behaviors, so you can refocus it on learning.

Ready to stop feeling invisible on Teachers Pay Teachers and start making sales with confidence? We break down a simple, repeatable strategy that helps you pick the right product, target the right buyers, and build real momentum—starting with a timely seasonal approach that delivers quick wins. Rather than guessing, we use search data to validate demand, identify first-page openings, and choose keywords that align with how teachers actually shop during high-interest holidays.We walk through live examples like “subtraction third grade Halloween” and “Halloween division activity fourth grade” to show how review counts reveal demand and how zero-review results signal space for a new listing. From there, we map a streamlined workflow: batch creation, fast cover development, and preview assets that clearly show value. You'll learn how smart cover design—square format, bold Halloween palette, and unmistakable theme cues—can lift click-through rates, and why tight grade levels and tagged standards increase trust and conversions. We also break down how to write a keyword-rich title and snippet that boosts search visibility without sounding robotic.The final piece is momentum. We share practical ways to spark that crucial first purchase by posting to your existing audience, even personal social feeds, and using early sales as a credibility signal to the marketplace. After the holiday, we review data—views, conversion rate, ranking—and turn proven seasonal winners into evergreen resources with minimal rework. Expect real tactics you can apply to any niche: validate demand, optimize listings, share strategically, and scale what works.

This powerful message challenges us to examine the password we're using to access God's presence—and that password is praise. Drawing from Psalm 100, we discover that entering God's gates isn't about our performance or perfection, but about our posture of gratitude and worship. The sermon unpacks how praise is actually the language of faith itself, speaking before we see and thanking before we receive. We're reminded that the Israelites' 11-day journey took 40 years because of their complaining and unbelief, while Paul and Silas turned a prison into a praise party and experienced miraculous deliverance. The core revelation here is that praise changes our position before it changes our condition—it shifts our focus from the problem to the Problem Solver. This isn't about denying reality or pretending everything is perfect; it's about developing a learned behavior of blessing the Lord at all times, just as David instructed his own soul in Psalm 103. When we cultivate gratitude as a lifestyle rather than a reaction to favorable circumstances, we unlock dimensions of God's presence and faithfulness that transform our entire perspective on life's challenges.

Send us a textIf you've ever found yourself searching for an activity that is engaging, meaningful, and actually supports language acquisition, this episode is for you. Many of us want our students to feel confident understanding and using the language — without us spending hours planning something new every day.In this conversation, I'm joined by Amy Marshall, a world language teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience, known for her thoughtful use of ClipChat. ClipChat blends short films with teacher-guided narration to build comprehension in a way that feels natural, visual, and compelling. Students watch, listen, and make meaning — and we guide the language to match what they need.In this episode, you'll learn:What ClipChat is and why it works to support real acquisitionHow to choose the right video clips for different levelsWhy slowing down can actually boost student confidence and understandingHow small student responses (“guided output”) create a natural pathway for teachers to give even more inputPractical routines like Write & Discuss, acting with whisper support, puppets, gallery walks, and picture grid listeningHow one short clip can carry your class for days or even weeks — without adding more planning to your plateThis episode is full of strategies that work in real classrooms — including the classes that are wiggly, chatty, distracted, or just tired.If you're working to design world language classes rooted in comprehension, communication, and cultural connection, you'll find something here to take with you tomorrow.Resources MentionedRead the blog hereClipChat Examples & Classroom Materials: Zona de Profes on TPT — https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Zona-De-ProfesAmy's Website: https://zonadeprofes.weebly.comShort Film Playlist for ClipChat: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKhH5MAAh6FpSBBumo6Cv8lG_iS8Q9LpzFree November Resource: Download Here: https://growingwithproficiency.com/diadegraciasJoin the Academy Waitlist: https://growingwithproficiency.com/academy-waitlistIG Claudia ElliottGrowing With Proficiency TPT StoreFree FB CommunityBe Part of the CommunityIf this episode inspired a new idea, I'd love to hear about it.

Teachers naturally want to manage everything that happens in their classrooms and handle student behaviors independently. But when the tension between wanting to do it all yourself and knowing you've reached your limit starts to spill over, you've reached that pivotal moment every teacher faces, when you wonder, "Is this something I handle, or is it time to bring in admin?" In today's episode, I'm walking you through how to confidently know what you can and should manage in the classroom, and the red-flag moments that signal it's time to involve admin.

Price isn't just a number on Teachers Pay Teachers—it's a signal that guides clicks, conversions, and the algorithm's attention. We dig into how buyers scan search results, what “fair value” looks like in context, and why a $0.50 tweak can lift both earnings and rank without sacrificing trust.I walk through a live case study of a one-page, eight-problem function notation activity with a unique emoji puzzle angle. We compare it against search results in the same keywords, map where most offers cluster on price, and unpack how underpricing can raise quality doubts while overpricing can stall sales and bury your listing. You'll hear how moving from $1.50 to $2 fits the market range, increases revenue per sale, and sends stronger signals to TPT's search engine—while still respecting the product's true value.From there, we break down a simple framework you can apply right away: research pricing before you create, build to the value that matches the winning price cluster, and run small, thoughtful tests after launch. If you see consistent $3 to $4 winners on your keywords, add depth—more problems, warm-ups, paired worksheets, or a mini set of activities—to justify that tier. If your product is intentionally small, aim for the highest defensible price that still attracts clicks beside similar listings. The goal is to balance perceived value, buyer budget, and algorithm incentives so your catalog earns more and ranks faster over time.Ready to price with purpose instead of guessing? Hit play, then subscribe, share this with a TPT friend, and leave a quick review telling us your most effective pricing tweak.

Ready to make your first $100 on Teachers Pay Teachers without a big audience or ads? We walk you through the exact three-step plan that launched sales in a saturated pre-K niche: build one purposeful product you truly believe in, duplicate that winning structure across new themes, and time smart seasonal resources to test demand fast. Along the way, you'll hear how a month-long, low-prep dinosaur unit outperformed cut-and-paste competitors by solving real classroom and homeschool pain points—print-and-go, repeatable activities, and clear skill coverage.We dig into the mechanics of building a product line that compounds: keep the layout and skills consistent, swap themes to meet student interests, and make it easy for buyers to grab month two and three in the same visit. Then we use seasonal spikes as a laboratory. Holiday resources bring quick traffic in less competitive windows, helping you diagnose whether your problem is visibility or conversion. If views are low, focus on SEO and cover clarity. If views are healthy but sales lag, fix previews, thumbnails, and descriptions to improve the add-to-cart moment.You'll also learn a dead-simple TPT search test to validate demand before you commit: find niches where top listings have strong reviews but page one still includes zero-review products. That gap means you can rank early with a new listing. We pair this with a strategic freebie—a high-quality sample that feeds discovery and encourages follows on the download page. For output planning, we recommend an early catalog split of five evergreen and five seasonal resources, then shifting back to evergreen once your data points to what works.Want help putting this into action?

DIPLOMATIC SERVICE Ephesians 6:10-18 (TPT)

Some students seem to need your help every few minutes, whether it's finding a pencil, getting assistance with an assignment, or asking what to do next.

On this week's episode of The Terrific Teacherpreneur, I share some data for two seasonal resources that had an increase in sales in October 2025 compared to October 2024.

Ever wonder why a product with steady views still stalls at the checkout page? We walk through a live teardown of a fall pre-K morning work resource and show exactly how to pinpoint whether thumbnails or the preview are killing conversions. Using simple ratios—view to preview and preview to purchase—we turn a fuzzy problem into a clear plan, then apply it step by step with real numbers and an easy framework you can copy for any TPT listing.First, we map the buyer journey and explain why thumbnails only earn curiosity while the preview must close the sale. Then we run the math: a strong 60.6% view-to-preview rate tells us thumbnails are pulling weight, while a 15% preview-to-purchase rate signals the preview is the bottleneck. From there, we outline fixable gaps: too-small page images, vague skill lists, and missing outcome language that leaves buyers guessing. You'll hear how to redesign the preview like a mini sales page—bold benefit headline, zoomed-in pages with readable overlays, clear skills, two to three minutes per day messaging, and a simple list of flexible uses that fit classrooms and home routines.We also show how improving conversions compounds traffic. Lifting preview-to-purchase from 15% to 33% doesn't just double revenue per 200 views; it nudges TPT's algorithm to show your product more often because it earns more per visitor. Finally, we share practical copy swaps, layout tips, and a smart cross-sell move that invites buyers to explore the full themed line so carts grow beyond a single resource. If you've struggled to boost sales without buying ads, this data-first approach will help you focus on the one change that matters most right now.If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a fellow TPT seller, and leave a quick review so more educators can discover these tactics.

Philippians 4:6 TPT choose peace over panic our journey continues

“Look, the days are coming,” Yahweh declares, “when I will repopulate the land of Israel and Judah with both people and livestock. I have watched over them to uproot, to knock down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring calamity, so now, I will carefully watch over them as they start over again and rebuild. And I will help them grow,” declares Yahweh. “In those days, people will no longer quote the proverb: ‘Children must pay the consequences of their fathers' sins.' “Rather, everyone who eats sour grapes will have a stomachache. Each one will be responsible for their own sins.” - Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭27‬-‭30‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Mornings and transitions can be tricky moments for teachers, but they don't have to stay that way. By establishing clear routines and teaching students exactly how your classroom runs, you create a calm, structured, and predictable environment that leads to more engagement and productivity. In today's episode, I'm sharing several practical, low-prep strategies to help you keep your mornings, and your after-recess and lunch transitions, smooth, calm, and productive.

Ready to turn a quiet list into a revenue engine? We break down a simple three-email rotation that builds connection, boosts deliverability, and drives confident purchases—without feeling pushy. After nine years on TPT and six-figure annual sales from email alone, Lauren shares the playbook that keeps subscribers engaged and eager to buy.First, we unpack engagement that actually matters: clicks, replies, and forwards. You'll learn how these actions do double duty—cementing your brand in a subscriber's memory while improving sender reputation with Gmail and Yahoo. We share easy prompts you can deploy today, from “Reply with a keyword” for a free resource to giveaway formats that encourage forwarding to peers and bring new educators into your world.Next, we focus on service. Freebies help, but ideas that solve real classroom problems build authority faster. We talk through how to deliver practical, Monday-ready tips and then bridge to a related product that saves time and amplifies results. This isn't a tease; it's a natural extension of value that makes the purchase feel obvious and helpful.Finally, we make the case for unapologetic selling. Clear, direct sales emails set the stakes, define the fit, and create timely reasons to act. We cover frequency, messaging, and gentle urgency that respects your audience. By rotating emails that spark engagement, serve with substance, and sell with clarity, you'll see stronger opens, richer conversations, and more consistent sales over the next two to six months.If you're serious about growing a profitable TPT business through email, this is your roadmap.

Two shafts go for review this week! The first is TPT's Nitro driver shaft in the 16/Hi configuration. It offers stability and consistency that I haven't seen this year in driver. The advanced tech in the shaft clearly shows in its performance on great shots and mishits. Nippon brought out their latest GOST hybrid shaft, but this time in HL. This higher launching option adds height to your shots while keeping dispersion tight.

“Here's what Yahweh says to you: “I know all about the marvelous destiny I have in store for you, a future planned out in detail. My intention is not to harm you but to surround you with peace and prosperity and to give you a beautiful future, glistening with hope.” ‭‭- Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭TPT‬‬

There comes a moment when even the most passionate teachers whisper to themselves, “I don't know if I can do this anymore". The exhaustion, the negative interactions, and the weight of it all can feel overwhelming. And while it's easy to dwell on the negative (trust me, I have!), since that noise is often louder and takes up more space in your mind, I want you to do the opposite. In this episode, I share how shifting your mindset and focusing on the positive can help you regain control of your emotions - and why it's so important to surround yourself with amazing people.

Holiday breaks can either recharge you or leave you scrambling—and for TPT sellers, the difference is planning. We dig into a simple framework for turning scattered days off from October through December into less stress now and more sales later, without sacrificing time with family. You'll hear three clear paths—take the time fully off, create a balanced 50-50 split, or run a short, intentional sprint if you have a major goal—and how to choose the one that fits your season and personality.We talk through practical ways to prepare before you unplug: optimize seasonal product listings for search, queue your Cyber Monday and sitewide sale emails, and refresh thumbnails and previews that impact conversion all year. Then we map exactly how to use one or two focused workdays in a break to batch deep work—keyword updates, resource creation, and email sequences—so your evenings stay free once school ramps back up with grading and exams. Instead of trying to squeeze an hour here and there, a concentrated push gives you breathing room and a calmer return in January.You'll also get a step-by-step calendar strategy: block family events first, mark true no-work days, then assign specific goals to the remaining work blocks. That clarity makes it easier to accept last-minute invitations without guilt, because you know what can move and what can't. Most importantly, we call out the pressure-cooker trap of trying to finish a year's worth of goals over the holidays and offer a saner alternative—focus on compound wins like SEO, evergreen products, and list engagement that pay off long after the decorations are packed away.If this approach helps, subscribe, share the episode with a teacher-author friend, and leave a quick review.

You don't need a giant following to build a powerful email list—you need a clear plan, the right tool for your stage, and a freebie your audience actually wants. We walk through a practical, teacher-focused roadmap to get from “mom + 50” to thousands, with real numbers, platform trade-offs, and a system you can set up in a weekend. If you've been stuck wondering whether Flowdesk or ConvertKit fits your workflow and budget, we compare simplicity versus automation, how pricing changes impact growth, and why a generous free tier can help you reach profitability before you ever pay a bill.From there, we design a high-converting opt-in: an exclusive, classroom-ready resource tied to your best product lines, presented on a clean landing page with a single clear action. Then we craft a three-email welcome sequence that delivers the freebie, builds trust with quick implementation tips, and gently introduces related resources without feeling pushy. We also share the ten-cents-per-subscriber-per-month benchmark so you can evaluate ROI and stop second-guessing your tool costs as your list scales.Traffic doesn't have to be chaotic. We lay out steady sources that compound: product insert opt-in pages inside your resources, notes to TPT followers, a supporting blog post with Pinterest pins, and social posts that demonstrate the freebie's value in seconds. When you're ready, add strategic collaborations and freebie swaps to accelerate growth with aligned audiences. The result is a repeatable engine that moves people from discovery to trust to action—and puts you in control of your audience, not the algorithm.

Send me a Text!I'm sharing the story I used to keep to myself—how I hit burnout, gained over 55 pounds, and lost touch with the version of me I truly wanted to be. It wasn't dramatic… it was daily. Skipping meals, snacking during prep, and constantly putting myself last left me physically drained and emotionally discouraged.But the good news? I found my way back—through simple habits, strength training, mindset shifts, and the reminder that you can't give your best to others if you don't take care of yourself first.I'll walk you through the exact changes I made (and still use today), from packing my lunch again to lifting weights every day—and how tracking my wellness became the turning point.If you're feeling tired, frustrated, or stuck, this episode is your reminder: you're not alone, and it's never too late to reset.

What if you could turn one solid template into two profitable products—again and again—without burning out or blowing your budget? That's the engine behind our 30-resources-in-under-10-hours sprint, and we're pulling back the curtain on the exact system: build evergreen first, then smartly clone into seasonal versions with minimal, thoughtful changes.We start with the economics that drive better decisions for TPT sellers: seasonal items often sell in a short window and take longer to break even if you outsource. By owning a simple, repeatable format—board games, coloring sheets, pixel art, task cards—you cut production time and risk while keeping standards alignment tight. We show how a zombie-themed board game becomes a Halloween hit, how an operations set morphs into a fall variant, and why a strong evergreen core keeps your catalog useful year-round.Process is where the real gains live. We walk through a one-file workflow that speeds duplication, keeps quality checks easy, and makes delegation to a VA painless. You'll hear how we use checklists to track drafts, exports, covers, and previews so nothing stalls in publishing. We also talk asset strategy: artwork licensing for emojis, choosing flexible graphics and fonts, and building a reusable library so themes can swap fast without redesigning from scratch.AI makes a cameo as a practical springboard.

When parents question your decisions as a teacher, it can feel like your professionalism is on trial, but it's actually an opportunity. Instead of bracing for conflict, what if you leaned in with clarity, calm, and confidence?  As the excitement of a new school year wears off, new and challenging situations often arise. That's why I created the September Survival Series; to give you practical tips, strategies, and encouragement to remind you that everything will work out. In the first two episodes, I shared how to reset your routines and procedures and how to manage stress during those first hectic weeks. In this final episode, I'm focusing on what to do when parents question you, and how to handle those situations with confidence and professionalism.

Stepping away from your TPT business—whether for maternity leave or any planned absence—requires thoughtful preparation and realistic expectations. Drawing from my experience across three pregnancies while running a teacher-entrepreneur business, this episode walks you through the practical steps to ensure your store continues thriving while you focus on what matters most.First, establish your timeline and identify your non-negotiable tasks. For me, six weeks is my sweet spot—that period where I want absolute minimum responsibilities beyond occasionally answering a team question. From there, create a realistic plan for batching essential content and delegating responsibilities. My first maternity leave taught me a painful lesson about insufficient planning when I found myself updating resources at 3am while watching my newborn sleep in her rocker during back-to-school season. The hustle mentality during what should be a precious bonding time took a significant toll on my wellbeing that I've been determined not to repeat.Your preparation strategy should distinguish between what truly needs continuation (email marketing, customer support) and what can comfortably pause (blog posts, new resources, social media). For team members, create clear guidance and have them practice critical tasks before your departure to minimize questions during your absence. Consider seasonal opportunities that might arise while you're away—optimizing Halloween or Valentine's Day resources beforehand can prevent mid-leave panic about underperforming listings. Most importantly, give yourself grace. Don't feel pressured to batch three months of content or return at full capacity immediately. Your business should adapt to your life circumstances, not the other way around.Ready to plan your own strategic pause?

Every September, teachers get swept into the “stress spiral” - the endless to-do lists, stacks of papers to grade, and the constant feeling of barely keeping your head above water. But what if this season didn't have to drain you?  In last week's episode, I kicked off the September Survival Series, which highlights how teachers can regain control and re-establish routines and procedures with confidence once the realities of the school year set in. The challenge is that the stress spiral often takes hold before most teachers even realize they're in it. That's why, in episode two of this series, I define what the September stress spiral is and share practical ideas and mindset shifts you can use before it takes over your classroom.
