13+ years teaching Grade 8 in Ottawa, Canada
I create high energy YouTube videos with technical tips or deep analysis of TPT land
I believe in leveling the playing field and providing free Google Sheet data tools to analyze our TPT stores and increase earnings.
I like to wonder and tinker and try little experiments to understand how the TPT SEO algorithm works.
When I do a TPT store audit, I like to wonder about who your Ideal Customer Avatar is and how you connect with them.
This is the kind of community we're building together. Are you in?
I'm human. I make lots of mistakes. The faster I learn, the sooner I move onto the next obstacle.
It doesn't matter how successful I am (or become.) I don't have all of the answers. Things change! If I keep learning, I can pivot to deal with pain and gain.
I use STRATEGIES. I think a lot about how I can reach my goal. I try a few things and think about why they might work.
I apply EFFORT. It's hard work, but I find a reason to keep going, or a way to have fun!
I OPTIMIZE what I do. I track how things are going. I do more of what’s working and less of what's not.
I TINKER. I do small experiments. Often, they don't pay out, but I always learn something.
I create content for English Language Arts, focusing on diversity, equity, digital literacy, 21st century learning skills, and social emotional learning.
My ideal customer avater for my TPT store:
Grade 8 English Language Arts teacher in Ontario or the US (CCSS)
A teacher who is a lifelong learner and believes in making the world a better place.
Someone who sees the value of social-emotional learning because it helps students (as opposed to because they have to teach SEL).
And then also other teachers in Grades 6-10.
Meeting new TPT sellers through the two SEOTpreneur communities and making new friends.
Not feeling like I'm the only one doing this TPT thing. (All of my real world friends have real 9-5 jobs)
"I refresh my page everyday hoping you’ll upload! Thank you for all that you do, I love your videos"
