Episode Summary
Have you thought about diversifying your teacher seller business to include supplemental income streams? Many teacher sellers, like myself, worry about the uncertainty of relying solely on platforms like TpT for income. However, we know we can’t add on something we pour as much time and effort into as our TpT stores, so what are some options for creating additional revenue streams for our businesses?
Diversification is a means of reducing risk and increasing stability in our teacher seller business. Of course, this is not something that all teacher sellers want or need, especially those still in the classroom! But for those of us who rely solely on our businesses, finding ways to diversify and bring in additional revenue can be incredibly helpful.
In this episode, I share 13 ways of diversifying and expanding your income stream beyond your TpT store. You’ll hear about online and in-person options, education and non-teaching-related ideas, and the pros and cons of different options to help you decide if these are a good fit for you!
