🤍 it! Keeps it all running smoothly (for the most part 😂)

Thanks for bringing this back to my attention. To be honest, I had forgotten I hadn't updated the title and description to be more clear. I've since moved over to Payhip for my own store and LOVE it! Here's the full playlist on TPT and Product Selling in case it's helpful: th-cam.com/video/As2s4LxFFas/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5IK4eMOjw7bNgMTC

@@suebaxter301 Great question, Sue. They're pretty much interchangeable when it comes to school/homeschool. Others may have more to add (comment your thoughts!) but it goes beyond learning English reading, grammar and spelling to include reading analysis, writing composition, and even skills like debate! What are you using for ELA?

@@melissaisteaching well when i pulled up our state's subject list for home school it stated both english and language art... so yeah a little confusing... i have one that is in 6th and the other one in 8th

@@suebaxter301 Gotcha. These tools would likely help with both, and both 6th and 8th grade would be super important years to be sure their writing and literary analysis skills are solid! Happy to chat if more questions come up!

Sure, what are you working on?

This video walks you though using Notion to lesson plan: th-cam.com/users/liveQSusZ-6ZxNY?si=1ueCjdGr3GTZ158K But if you're looking for other Notion tools, head to melissaisteaching.com/favorite-things

Hey April! Yep. I would set it up as subscription. If you're okay with families paying each week for their class (like OS) then that'd work well! I do that for my async class: payhip.com/b/pQjL6 For my live online classes, I tend to sell classes in packages of 10 or 20, so I would create a digital product that gets them a direct link to my Calendly so that they can schedule their class time for those classes. That way you're assured more longevity with your student. Obviously, rock solid policies on cancellations, refunds, and what's included would be imperative. Which do you think you'd go with?

@@BloomerVicky hey there! Would love to hear what your big takeaways were!

YES! I love this and it makes it easy to continue to share about it later on. Example (which may help this video's viewers out) a 2-hour training showing you how to list step by step on Payhip: payhip.com/b/yaSBV PLEASE share links here if you've got one you end up listing!

​@melissaisteaching amazing! What Im in the process of doing now is just doing course description that lead to an embedded contact form. Im not selling anything right now.. just live teaching/tutoring/assessments.. then will building out my shop over the year as I transition from less live to more digital products. ​@@melissaisteaching

Hope it helps, Valerie! Drop a link to your store! Would love to see what you're selling. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@HollydayLearning It's important to ask them. As I said in the video, this isn't for everyone. What's on your mind?

Thanks so much! That would absolutely be the best thing to do! Some of my students have different price packages (ex. with or without the 2.9% Stripe fee, or $25 instead of 30 because they opt to pay for 30 classes at a time instead of 10, etc). If it weren't for the variation, then I'd do that! Are you an online teacher?

@@melissaisteaching no no, just someone that is looking an invoicing system for our sports org :)

@@andyleimontas518 So glad it was helpful! Feel free to drop a link to your store here. Would love to check it out! What do you sell?

My pleasure! Can't wait to see what you build with it. 🔥🔥✌✌

Nice! It's definitely something I'm excited to keep an eye on. Have you listened to her podcast yet, Future of Education?

Depending on interest and your parameters, we could go different ways here, BUT here's what we use: Newbery books! Winners/honors... any book on here is worth checking out. I prefer to get the physical book into my kids' hands and then grab the audio book (we use the Libby app which syncs up with our public library card) so they can listen and read at the same time if they want. Here's a list of Newbery books: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newbery_Medal

Sounds like a win! How's your homeschool plan coming together this year?

@@melissaisteaching I'm working on it. My issue is planning too much and not being realistic. I need to figure out a better way to get literature in. Read aloud are very difficult for me to fit in as well.

@@Coffeeandkiddos Totally feel you. At this age, read-alouds are nice, but I've opted to have my 3rd grade kids and up use audio books (we get ours on the Libby app, which is free and connects to our public library card) while they have the physical book in their hands. Gives them an added layer of complexity hearing someone else pronounce the words as well!

This explanation is gold. 🤌

​@@melissaisteachingThank You!!! ❤

Super helpful. I never would have gotten to that. 🌟All the gold stars.

​@@melissaisteachingThanks! ❤
