A Happy Milestone and a Giveaway to celebrate!

A year ago (about 2 years after I started tutoring professionally), a wise person (my mother) told me I should start trying to sell the education materials I have always created for my kids (whom I've homeschooled from birth) and my tutoring students. I thought she was crazy! So I blew it off as one of those hyped up motherly remarks.

Over the next few months I started to search out the possibilities, including selling online in the digital market. I found a few outlets that I thought I would play around with, and set up accounts. Then I basically left them alone thinking it wasn't worth my time. Over the summer (my busiest tutoring time) I had to create several resources for my students, and so I revisited the outlets...to my wonderment, one was advertising a blow-out Back To School Sale, and the excitement caught me.

That August was truly the beginning of my journey as a seller on Teachers Pay Teachers, and I spent a few hours each week adding to my store, making connections, and learning what it takes to be successful. Here I am today, a few months later with just over 100 followers of my store!

I know this isn't much, and its no Superstar rise to fame. However, a year ago I thought it was pointless to even try!
