Last summer was the first summer I put work into my TpT store and business. This summer, I plan to grow my store even more, now that I have a better idea of what I’m doing and have more experience under my belt. I’ve created a summer schedule so I can be productive while still leaving time to relax and spend quality time with friends and family (and my pup of course)! Take a look at my summer schedule to grow my TpT store below.
I’ve divided tasks into how often I need to get them done: daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly.
My Summer Schedule
Daily
Write for the Blog
I’ve set a goal to write at least something for my blog everyday. It can be an idea, an outline for a post or a full blown post, I just want to write something. My goal is to get far enough ahead that I’m not scrambling to write a post the day before it goes live. I want to work so I can have a few months scheduled out ahead of time. (Of course I won’t be doing this while I’m on vacation or certain weekends/events – but for the most part, I will write daily.)
Post on Instagram
I post daily on Instagram already and I will continue to post daily. During the summer, I’ll still post tips and ideas for the classroom but I’ll also post about my summer life and how I’m spending my summer. Let’s connect on this platform – follow me at @one_kreative_kindergarten and send me a message! I’d love to meet you!
Weekly
Post a New Product
For the past few months, I’ve slowed down on creating new products, mostly because it’s been a busy season in my life personally and professionally. Over the summer, I plan to post a new product each week.
I currently have a growing bundle for classroom decor that I’ll be getting products out for. Check it out and get it for a discount here!
Schedule Pins on Tailwind
I currently take a day (usually Sundays) and I schedule out my pins on Tailwind for the week. I’ll continue to do this as I can just set it and forget it. Posting through Tailwind has helped me gain tons of traffic to my blog which gives more exposure to my TpT products and store. My blog is my second highest traffic source besides TeachersPayTeachers itself.
Post in Facebook Groups
One of my goals this summer is to be more active in the Facebook groups I belong to. Three of my top favorite Facebook groups for blogging/TpT/Instagram are Teacher Blogger + Seller Network, Instagram Connection for Educators, and TpT Sellers.
Create Pins for TpT Products
I’ve noticed that pins for my TpT products get shared more when they aren’t just the cover of my TpT product. I want to go back through my entire store and create pin sized pins (longer pins) instead of just pinning my square thumbnail images.
Bi-Weekly
Post Blog Posts
Currently, I post once a week on my blog. If you want to see something specific on my blog leave me a comment below! I’d love to help you and give you want you want to see more of!
Monthly
Schedule out/Brainstorm Blog Posts
To help me stay on top of posts and work a month or two in advance, I’ll be scheduling out and brainstorming my posts monthly. Looking ahead helps me see the bigger picture and schedule where I can post about upcoming products or give a deeper explanation to future buyers.
Update an Older Product
I have almost 100 products in my store and some of them need updates real bad! I plan to update some of these at least once a month, possibly a few times a month.
Complete an Online Course that will Benefit my Business
Last year, I purchased the Genius Bloggers Toolkit and now that I’ll have more time in the summer, I want to put time into learning more that will help grow my blog and TpT store. I’ll be working on at least one online course a month!
I’m so excited to spend this summer working on my business by growing both my blog and TpT store! What projects are you working on this summer? Share them below!
