Do I plan on selling on TpT? Nope. Did I watch this entire video and love the information? Yep!
Same, girl!!
LOL! You're so sweet! Thank you for watching 🎉🥰🖤
I did too!!!
This info, especially the commercial licenses and the copyright and trademark info, is SO HELPFUL. Thank you for this.
Can we just pause a minute and talk about your arms? What?! Girl you are killing it in the gym! Whew!! Wish I had the time!! :)
I noticed that too! Very toned! And I am very jealous! :)
Can be achieved at home! Go to my website for free workout programs :)
I love how you give honest advice and share your own experience to help teachers work on TPT. As a teacher who is not going to be selling on the site, I have even more respect for all the hard work that goes into the process. On a side note, I still love the little Office snippets that you sprinkle throughout your videos. Keep up the great work!
Amanda, I look forward to your comments every week! Please know I appreciate you SO much more than you know! 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you so much for your kind words! Don't worry... the Office clips aren't going anywhere any time soon because they make me very happy 😂😂
I am so thankful for your videos. I’ve been teaching for 25 years and it’s good to get excited about my job again. I’m hoping to eventually get something posted on TPT and I am also looking forward to a more organized, productive school year. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much! I have put up 3 sets of Boom cards so far. And, when I search for them with really common keywords for my products, they rank on the first pages already! They weren't at first and I got smarter with the keywords I put into the listing. I had a little party in my head today!
Thank u for the heads up - I have already created like 4 resources (not uploaded, luckily) and U made me check my school device licence - I'm not allowed to use it for anything commercial
I’m looking to start making and selling things on TPT. I’ve taught for three years but am not teaching now due to having a baby in December! But I miss teaching so I think this will be a fun way to still do some things I love while not actually being in the classroom. Thank you! 😊
Love your honesty and energy!! Plus your videos are always helpful and thorough!! You're the best 💗💗
This video is so complete. You are the best, thank you for taking this time. It is a great guide.
I appreciate this series. Honestly the amount of work that goes into being a seller is astounding and very eye opening. Definitely not something I am interested in pursuing however it gives me a great appreciation for the sellers and also motivation to support my factories. Thanks for all you do as always!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Joy! 🥰🖤 I'm happy this has been eye opening for you, even if you don't plan on selling at this time. I agree... there is so much more to it than I ever knew before I started!
I love The Office inserts in your videos. You have been so helpful. Tank you so much!
Dang girl! You have some pumped biceps.
Thanks for the great info!!! 😀
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!
I am dipping my toes in the TPT waters. Last night I put up my free resource (Boho Quotes) and this weekend I am stating to create resources! So exciting!
Thank you always sharing what you have learned with us!
Awesome video! Just learning how to use TPT. i will probably watch again! So much to learn!
wow thanks for all the advice! you've given me good reassurance I'm on the right track and some important steps to consider or beware of
This was what I needed. Extremely helpful, thank you!
Love love love your videos. Thank you so much for helping me as I (attempt to) enter into my journey as a TPT seller!
How is the beginning stages going? I’m just now considering this feat
Sis, you are worth your weight in gold!!! I thought all the Google Fonts were free for commercial use. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. I have added Google Fonts to my bookmarks. You are really a valuable resource as I focus on growing my TPT business. I appreciate your videos soooooo much!
Agree
Great video!!! Thanks for the tips.
If you get royalty-free images that allow you to use it commercially, that is your license. You do not need any additional licenses if the creator allows you to use it commercially.
Look for Creative Commons licenses etc.
I see so much copyright infringement in the Cricut forums and FB groups. So many respond with "others are selling it" or "how will Disney find little old me" or "they're making billions, I don't care". These same people then come crying when they see another crafter use their photo or ask how to make it.
This is really good info! Taxes are the bear of our existence! You did the smartest thing in finding an accountant who handles the business taxes (they will add up)
Thank you so much Russell! 🖤 I agree... it made my life so much easier!
Great info! Thanks!!
P.E. Teacher here trying to get in the creator game. Great breakdowns and nice bicep vein, you’re jacked!
I put your videos on to watch and absorb while I'm working on products and I ALWAYS end up pausing and rewatching to take notes! 😂 Thank you for all the hard work and great info you put into these videos, it has been so helpful to me getting started.
Awwm thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I really appreciate you and I'm so happy my videos are helpful for you! 🖤
Wow, wow, and wow! You gave me a lot to think about and provided very thorough explanations. Thank you so much for all of your great work, as Always!
Great tips ❤
Loving this series Michelle!! What incredible value you are providing to the TPT UA-cam community! I wish I had this video when I started my first TPT Store haha but have learnt the hard way with a few things also but now being a couple years into the journey I know way more!
All of this was solid advice and is what I’ve come to know too. But seriously what an awesome video and series I think this will help a lot of future TPT sellers in this process 🌺❤️🤓 love it! KEEP up the amazing work 👏🏼
Aww, thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! 🥰🖤 I really appreciate your feedback and I'm so happy to hear that I could help even a little bit!
I love your videos!
So helpful 😊
Absolutely loved this video, especially the parts on licensing and copyright, etc. SN: I was also distracted by the gun show!!!!💪🏾 Would you do a video about how you managed to stay fit and be healthy during the school year???
LOL! Thank you so much Tanisha! 🖤 I have a fitness journey video where I discuss my routine while teaching! Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/8_0ekrFwH9Y/v-deo.html
I was also distracted by your hair!
Thank you!
Great video! Do you have a video on how you create your videos? What software do you use? How do you find and insert the most perfect clips? Equipment? Thank you for your positive energy and great work!
Thank you for this video! I am a sub and so many times, I get to the classroom and either there is too little prep and I need filler, or in the case of a music class, no sub notes at all.... so I have been making my own. Our admin told me to organize for sale and sell on TPT. I LOVE Powerpoint but hearing that you use google slides, I went looking to see if there is licensing restrictions on powerpoint. I can't figure it out. I know you aren't a lawyer, but would you mind telling me if you found using PP is allowed or if using it violates their copyright protection? Thank you for your help now and all the amazing videos you have created! You are priceless! ~Pam
I am loving this series! Would you consider doing a video on how to set up a landing page and email list?
Possibly in the future but it's hard because it differs depending on the service you use. Most services have tutorial videos for that on their website! 👍🏼
Great Suggestion
Thanks for the helpful video! You look amazing, btw!
Does anyone else miss the weekly vlogs? i love ur videos and want the vlogs back please they were awesome maybe next school year!
Don't forget that you need to include a physical address for those email lists. Account for that additional cost on top of the cost of the email marketing provider if you want to use a PO box instead of your home address.
Yup! There's a LOT more to all of these than what I covered... these were just short summaries. There are a bunch of other, added costs that I didn't mention.
Thank you Michelle. Your videos are always so informative. Can you answer which TAX CODE on TPT we should use when we are posting a new product. I confused between the Digital Images Code or the Other Digital Goods No Physical Media Code. Which one should if I'm creating a Powerpoint Digital Download? Thanks!!!
I’m new to all this. I’ve developed tons of resources for fellow teachers at my school over the years. After watching this video I’m pretty sure I couldn’t get my stuff ready for TpT! Maybe I’ll revisit the idea but wow- pretty complicated. 🥺
Hi Michelle! Great video, so helpful. Question: starting out, we will just file our sales in our personal return, but how far in did u switch over to an llc? Did u wait until the start of a new calendar year to make it clean? Thanks again for all ur help.
Hi pretty Michelle, what camera do you use? It’s so clear! I like watching it!
Regarding commercial licenses and devises. I’d like to add to be careful where you create. Even if you are on break or after school. I would not create anything using district WIFI.
Yes! Very true! You definitely wouldn't want to create during contracted time, even using a personal device 🙅🏻♀️
Those Biceps Veins don't chill 💪😅
😂😂😂
You are awesome by the way. If I use things like Canva and I know there are images that are there, can I use things I create in Canva for TPT as a seller?
Great info! I’d enjoy a “10 things I wish I knew when starting my UA-cam channel” video!
Ooo that definitely might be a video I film in the future! Thanks for the idea!
Really good
i like your video, thank you 🌷
Would be interested in you doing videos on subscribers’ TPT stores with critiques if they are willing!
When starting a TPT product do I have to add my own copyright?
Can I add my own copyright to a design/template I created using canva elements?
If so, do I have to register my copyright somewhere?
Hope these questions make sense. Thanks for all your help and info! You’re the best!
Hi Violeta! Those are great questions. Technically, copyright is not something you have to register for so your work is protected whether you add your "copyright" at the bottom or not. Most authors add it as an extra layer of protection because a lot of TpT products are printed and shared with others so having the seller's name on the page is helpful. As for Canva, it's hard to say exactly because it depends on the template... make sure you read what's allowed or not allowed for each element you use!
Hello! Thanks for the video. It is very informative. I am curious how a foreigner should start selling on TPT? And i want to know more on the tax part. Thank you. Waiting for your reply.
This was helpful. I was considering starting a tpt store, but to be honest, am a little intimidated and I am curious how much I would have to invest financially to do this correctly. I plan to do more research before committing, but at least I know what is required before proceeding. Thank you!
Should any seller be filing taxes? For example, if I earn $2k this year, do I need to file? Maybe it’s different in Canada anyway. But I know becoming a business/sole proprietor is tricky! My mom just went through it for her business and there were some stressful days during tax season!
If you ever hope to be featured by TpT you must have a credit page that includes all of your images, clip art, fonts, etc. even if what you used is in the public domain. If you use something with a commercial license many, maybe most have Terms of Use (TOU) that need to be followed. I stick to TpT for all my font/clip art needs because sellers are accustomed to easy to understand TOUs and most require credit in your resource. That credit page you create is your protection. Just give credit and move on.
Hello.....What about Microsoft Office(Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc) and Google Drive(Doc, Slides, etc), I use free version, can I use for commercial use??
Does tpt allow you to download your customer's email address or offer an export of all emails?
Thank you
I did look up copyright laws and stuff-could you use a copyrighted text as an excerpt or quote and cite the source?
I had no idea about this deep world of fonts
Do you have any advice for flattening Google docs?
When using elements such as clip art you have purchased on TPT that say they are for commercial use, can you use them in your logo creation? And if so, how do you give credit for what you used in your logo? It's not like your logo has a credits page.
Can I use a photograph and their quote and NOTE it was them???
I have two questions, Michelle:
1- I am creating worksheets about the book Red is Best by Kathy Stinson. Do I have to get her permission to do those activities about her book?
2 - Can I take one of the paragraphs of the book and do an activity?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Hi there! Can you include in your products names of famous people? Is it allowed?
What if I use a picture I made myself? How do I prevent other people from using my pictures.
What are the rules of copyright with links to UA-cam Videos? Are those fine to put in sold products?
Do you sell your seller product templates?
How did you get your website?
All this information is very useful, but I'm a bit discouraged after I heard about all the copyrights. 😂 It's safer to make my own fonts, pictures, etc...
What about quotes? Is there a maximum number of words that can be quoted from a copyrighted book? I see so many lit studies on TPT, I’m confused how they have/got permission to use cover art and to include major chunks of the texts
Does Canva Pro account allow for creations to be used commercially?
I have someone emailed me that my calendar looks like her calendar. Its direcred drawing calendar and font, clipart is different. But layout looks similar because its a calendar.😂 What should i do?
Can I use Canvas for pictures?
I'm from Ireland and currently only making a very small amount on TPT. I'm registered as a sole trader in Ireland so how do taxes work in that case if in a different country?
Is it possible to work from the phone on this site?
So, if I were to write a resource with questions and activities for Little House Books or The Hobbit I would need permission from the author or their representatives as both of the authors of these books have passed on? Thanks for these great sessions about Tpt.
Books are a little more complicated because books are automatically copyrighted since they are an original work but most book titles, characters, etc. are not trademarked (Harry Potter would be an exception to this). Copyright protects the artistic expression of a book, but not necessarily the title. So you can create a product that accompanies a book and reference the title but you can't incorporate parts of the book (pictures of the pages, the cover, etc.). Obviously, this is a very simplified explanation so I recommend doing your own research on the topic!
@@PocketfulofPrimary ~ thank you- yes, I will for sure do more research~ I like to stay out of trouble. :) Thanks for getting me started with this info and thanks for this great series on Tpt. I retired in June and I hope to create some Tpt resources based on all those years of classroom experience. Children's Lit is my sweet spot. Thanks for all you do to encourage and equip teachers.
You may have also clicked on the video because you watch all of Michelle’s videos. Thanks for helping teachers!!
Hahaha true! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🖤
Did you get a business license or DBA when you first started selling before becoming an LLC?
I personally didn't, no.
@@PocketfulofPrimary Thank you for sharing all of this amazing content! It is just what I needed to get inspired again.
Where can if find you po box 📦?? ❤
Wow. Getting set up on the TPT is very time consuming BUT promoting a new site is even more time consuming it appears.
Where is the link for the email list company?
It's in the description of the video at the bottom of the other links!
@@PocketfulofPrimary thank you very much. My internet connection was malfunctioning and I was unable to see the links. Question: Do you have any Spanish educator suggestions? I have acquired a Spanish Teacher.
How can I claim my money from tpt?
Can we use ai content for writing or editing ???
HI! Are you available to answer a question I can't find an answer to anywhere re: selling on TPT?
Can I, for example, include apps like Padlet, or Thinglink in a lesson?
So are they looking for their name in anything or photos/logos? Because novel studies..so are those not ok? This is confusing 🙈
Hopefully she answers this. I’m so confused about lit studies that include cover art and large chunks of text 😫
Somehow she has time to work out! 💪🏼😜
Are you getting more lean now? I notice that bicep vein popping
Show does weightlifting.
Thank you! I'm currently maintaining but I had done a cut to lose body fat in the spring prior to my powerlifting meet.
@@PocketfulofPrimary yes it show
you have great arms, cute top showcases it!
she's fit

So, teachers selling “Starbooks” using Starbucks logos needs to take those packages down…
Man, I’ve made so much stuff already throughout the years so I’ve really been thinking to sell them because if I put so much work into them, then why not? But after watching this, i found myself discouraged. It’s not because of you and the amazing abundance of info, but because of the extra workload I now realize that this takes. I’m already a tired teacher, but I neeeeeed an extra income. Sigh. Maybe I’ll start in the summer or on maternity leave. Thank you for your video. 🤍
This series is a LIFESAVER! Thank you for taking the time to do this. 🩵
