TL;DR Section

Missed the latest updates?

Everything here in this section is timely!

• ​I JUST NOW posted my October 2026 income report for my fellow nosey Nellys out there.​
  If you have questions about any of it, just hit reply and ask!!
  ​
• ​My friend Nina Clapperton just opened the doors to Profitable Part-Time Blogging!!​
  This is the ONLY blogging course/program I recommend. I recommend Jessie Festa's Travel Blog Prosperity membership if you're a travel blogger (or if you want to become one). But as far as courses? Nothing can beat the value Nina provides. She pours her whole heart and soul into it. And if you do the coaching, you can basically ask her anything at anytime using her platform. I've personally earned at least $35,000 more since learning from her. Her program is open through this Friday and after that, it won't be open again until April at the earliest (according to her last update for affiliates).
  ​
  ​This post gives you an idea of the extra income I've made since working with her.​
  ​
• ​I'm speaking at Misty's Teacher Seller Growth Summit November November 6th-8th!​
  I'll be speaking on this exact topic in depth - how to choose what's next for you, and what to do about content, social media, email list building, etc. based on your personalized plan. You can choose the free option of course. But if you think you might even want to upgrade to the All-Access Pass, get that before the 28th!! It's only $37 right now for a few more hours.
  ​
• ​I'm part of the Blogging is Not Dead Bundle - happening today through Saturday, October 31st.​
  I'm contributing my $37 10k TikTok Lab Course & Bundle, so definitely do this one!! ICYMI - I created a new account July 31st. I'm getting half a million views a month there ANDDD it's already lead to 450 email subscribers organically. Just passively finding me via TikTok and Substack.
  ​
• ​I recently launched a new podcast and brand: Beyond the Marketplace.​
  You'll hear me talking about it a LOT more as time goes on. For now, that link will take you to the podcast. You can also find my brand new account for it on Instagram over at @beyondthemarketplace! As my personal brand starts to lean in more to the creator space (UGC, influencing, brand deals, freelancing, etc), and with everything TPT is doing, I knew it was time to separate out everything I do for sellers. That podcast is JUST for you!! And I can't wait for you to listen to the interviews I have coming in January. They're so good. Specifically for sellers, by sellers.

Hi, Reader!

Quick email today.

​In case you missed it, I'm speaking at Misty's Teacher Seller Growth Summit.​

This is always a full-circle moment for me - since Misty is the first person I was learning about TeachersPayTeachers from back in 2019!!

Doesn't that feel like a whole lifetime ago now?!

I still can't believe it's been 7 years since the big C.

She's the first one I learned from, when I was asking questions like:

• What's a thumbnail?
• What do I put in a preview without giving everything away?
• How do I even know whether or not a resource is good?
• Why are descriptions so important, and what do I put in them?
• What's "keyword stuffing," and why should I avoid it?

In my session, I walk you through a whole decision tree to help you figure out what the best decision is for you when it comes to going Basic vs. Exclusive, and just making a whole plan for your brand going forward.

Content is still so, so important to me. Of course.

But depending where you're at, you might instead need to focus on:

• Setting up a shop on your website
• Moving to a new (or additional) marketplace
• Creating a store on Shopify, Gumroad, or Payhip
• Starting your email list

And while social media definitely can help you get customers and grow your email list, we don't have a lot of time to make these really big, critical decisions.

So here's a bonus freebie to give you a preview of what you'll be learning from me at the summit:

​This decision free is being linked on the same page as my session, and it really gives you a feel for what I'll be covering.​

The Teacher Seller Growth Summit has a big theme of diversifying this year, too - not just income streams, but:

• Where you get traffic from
• How you sell your educational resources
• Where to sell your resources

And of course a few people will be talking about income streams too.

My session is about everything you should be considering before you make your next move.

The summit itself is free.

But if there's even a chance that you might upgrade??

So you can get more time with the sessions and maybe work on this over Winter Break?

Then I highly recommend getting it TODAY.

Because today is the last day the All-Access pass is $37.

Or go grab the free ticket!!

See you in there. :)

Talk soon,

Brittany
