Ever wondered why your meticulously crafted TPT resources aren't getting found, despite your best SEO efforts? After nine years as a TPT seller and five years coaching other teacher entrepreneurs, I've discovered a hard truth: most sellers are solving the wrong problem.
The issue isn't that your resources lack proper search optimization. It's that you're creating products that can't be effectively optimized in the first place. Many of us start by creating resources we're personally excited about or that our own classrooms need, then try to retrofit SEO strategies afterward. This backwards approach typically leads nowhere because either nobody is searching for the keywords that describe your product, or the competition for those keywords is so fierce that newer sellers have virtually no chance of ranking.
This frustrating cycle is what I call the "silent killer" of TPT businesses. You follow all the conventional advice – create more products, optimize your listings, design beautiful covers – yet sales remain stagnant. The burnout that follows drains your momentum and enthusiasm. Meanwhile, successful sellers who transition from side-hustle to full-time income share one critical habit: they validate market demand before investing time in product creation. They check search volume, assess competition, and identify keyword targets before designing a single page.
Ready to break free from creating "hope and pray" products? Join my free Five Days to 5K Product Challenge starting May 24th! Through bite-sized, actionable daily tasks, you'll learn how to identify products with built-in demand, align your resources with what buyers actively search for, and stop guessing whether your next creation will sell. By the end of our five days together, you'll approach product creation with data-driven confidence rather than wishful thinking. Sign up through the link below – this is likely my only free workshop of 2025, and you don't want to miss it!
