Love watching your videos :) Also... Becca... AI is super easy and would help you free up SO MUCH TIME. Seriously. I started using it for emails + ideas for resources +TPT descriptions + SEO for blogging... and it has saved me so much time. It would be really helpful for you.

What’s AI?

[@leab.2916]

One example of how AI helped me in product creation: at the end of my resources I always have a "go further" section that helps teachers reuse my resource differently with different purposes. Guess who gave all the ideas? Chat gpt!

Your story is always so inspiring!!! And I agree that more hours = more growth. Last school year I wasn’t able to devote a lot of time to TPT because I was at a new school, new state, and new grade level. It was almost as tough as being a brand new teacher. I just didn’t have the bandwidth to focus on TpT as much as I usually do. My store’s growth definitely stalled. It’s sad, but I know I’ll be able to do more this school year, and I know I can get it to start growing again. I’m still making a decent amount every month, especially considering how little I did on TpT this year. Your videos motivate me to keep going! Thank you!!!

Hearing the cha-ching that I made a sale on TPT while watching your video. 😁Great advice to devote time weekly to your store. I did manage to upload six new resources this summer. Yes, slow and steady wins the race. Back to one new resource a month but when I can, it's two. Great advice as always Becca and yes, I follow your IG. Liked watching the housing projects.

Hi! I don't have IG yet to submit a question. I would love it if you could make a video on how to track your TpT sales and expenses and any resources we may consider using to do so. Expenses such as premium seller subscription, website, commercial use products, etc.

Thanks for the Reno update!! 😂 My list for the house is neverending...

[@user-wz5sm7kw8p]

Can you make a video more about taxes. Like how much should we be putting aside to save to pay for taxes. Like out of 100 save x amount.

[@catherinehowland]

Your 5 year TPT anniversary is next month?! I hope you're going to make a video commemorating it. 😊🎉

[@daniellenourani9613]

Thank you!

[@timeaturai7126]

Yesterday was the first time I used AI to write 2 descriptions for me. We will see if it makes any difference.
