In this post you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for a free email mini-course on specifically how to start your blog through WordPress. Now on to why blogging is a great way to market your TpT products.
Market Your TpT Products by Starting a Teacher Blog
When I was student teaching, I discovered TeachersPayTeachers. Once I found out that I could start a store and help other teachers by selling my own products, I knew it was only a matter of time. I’ve also always loved writing and sharing my story so a blog was a natural fit. When I put the two together, I’m able to use one platform (my blog) to reach more teachers and benefit the other (my TpT store).
A blog can help you grow your TpT store.
I started my blog around the same time I started my TpT store so I’ve only ever known the two together, however, I know that my blog has helped my TpT store grow to what it is today. I know this because when I check where my traffic to my TpT store comes from, the highest traffic is my blog besides the TpT site itself. The traffic section on my TpT dashboard even tells me how much money I make each month from my blog.
Why does a blog help market my TpT store?
You can write blog posts about your products.
Blog posts can be super helpful when you want to explain a TpT product. Through a blog post, you can give directions, showcase the product and explain why other teachers need it in their classroom. You can also link products to a related blog post. The post doesn’t have to be all about the product.
Check out these posts for an example.

Buyers get to know you on a more personal level.
Think about products you buy. What are your favorite things to buy? I don’t know about you, but I like when I connect to a person or a brand. I feel much happier knowing that I’m supporting a person or business that has the same values as I do. When you write blog posts, your buyers get to know you on a more personal level and they’ll want to support your business.
You can pin your blog posts on Pinterest/Tailwind to gain more traffic.
I don’t know about you but I search for EVERYTHING on Pinterest. Well, if you create these awesome blog posts about your TpT products or featuring your products, your posts will be found by others on Pinterest!
