Fresh and fun blog makeover for the new school year!

I have been so inspired by all the Periscope teacher-bloggers over the last few weeks that I decided to give myself a blog makeover today. I needed a fresh and fun design for the new school year. Please be patient with me as I transition from one image to another on my blog, Facebook, Twitter, my TpT store, etc. It was so much fun to spend a little time on my branding. ;) Okay, it took me more than a little amount of time because I have apparently forgotten how to do everything since the last blog makeover I did.

Yesterday, I created a new watermark that I hope to start using on all my pictures, too. I realize I have been a bad little blogger!

Helpful Tutorials to Create Your own TpT Products

 


So, you've decided that now's the time to start creating  products to sell on TeachersPayTeachers, but you aren't quite sure where to start. You're not alone! Many of my co-worker friends feel the same way. I have put together a list of some of the easiest YouTube tutorials to help you start you on your path to creating amazing products for sale or as freebies! Most people who begin selling have a basic idea of how to create a printable or worksheet, but not everyone knows how to make a finished product. Hopefully one of these tutorials will help you out! If you have a tutorial that you think should be added, feel free to post it in the comments and I may add it to this post. :)


This one is best for a lot of editable slides. If you only have a few slides that you want to be editable, check-out the next video.
