TpT Stats
As a new seller. I was desperate to find some answers. Could this be a viable side job? I looked high and low. I found few resources that helped.
I know this stuff is gold and I’m not supposed to share this kinda info. But I like “stirring it” as my dad says 🙂 So I figured, I’d write my own and share my data with you:

I’ll keep this updated as the months pass and you can check back to see the progress your store could make.
A few notes:
In October, I decided that all products needed a ‘preview’ PDF version as well as small thumbnail images on the side. That made a HUGE difference in sales. Items that had not sold any but had a high number of views began to start selling.
Also in October, I decided that I was loosing too much money with a free account and needed to upgrade to a premium membership. I’m glad I did.
Almost everything on my site is $0.95. That’s because, well, I’m cheap and wouldn’t pay more then $1.00 for something myself. So I made that decision as my own customer. I also want my products to be affordable to every teacher! This is more about making good visual activities for the kids then making money (that’s just a bonus).
This has not been an easy process at ALL! I spent about 4 weekends in the past few months hulled up in my flat working only on this.
Hope this helps your store. All the best and good luck!
