You may even aspire to be a full time Teacher-Author and replace your teaching salary with your income from selling your teaching resources online. The possibilities are endless. But there is one thing you need to do first. You need to start!

To make money selling teaching resources think about what you already do as a teacher. I was already creating my own lessons and activities to do with my students. I was creating centers, bulletin boards, math crafts, comprehension activities, classroom decor, day long and week long classroom transformations, and many other things. This was a natural fit because I’ve already been making these things. Next step… selling teaching resources I’ve already created on Teachers Pay Teachers.
Here’s Where to Start Selling Resources
When I am creating and selling teaching resources I always start with a brainstorm. I like to map out my idea. What will this resource include? What will this resource look like? I also like to keep a running brainstorm-list of my teaching resource ideas, so when inspiration hits or I have some time to sit down and create teaching resources to sell I have a list to look back on.
