Where To Sell Your Teacher Resources Online (In Addition to TPT Without Breaking the New Rules!) FREE Quick-Start Guide | Download FREE PDF Now

Turn the teacher resources you’ve already created into something you can PUBLISH—and potentially PROFIT from.

Already selling on TPT? No worries, you can do BOTH! Per TPT's new seller guidelines posted on October 1st, 2026, you can sell physical products on Amazon AND continue selling your digital products on TPT. See following message from TPT posted October 1st 2026: 

"Are there any products I can sell off of TPT if I’m an Exclusive Seller?

Yes, being an Exclusive Seller means you exclusively sell digital education products through TPT. If you offer physical products, courses/professional development, and other products separate from your digital educational materials and resources, you’re welcome to continue selling those off of TPT.

There it is. Now, let's talk about making serious income from your teacher resources (without breaking any TPT rules).

If you’re a teacher, chances are you've created original lessons, activities, units, workbooks, classroom systems, or other resources that are sitting on your computer that could become publishable products. And let’s be real—if you’re a teacher, chances are you could use some extra cash flow every month.

As of 2026, I've been teaching in the secondary classroom for 16 (ish) years as an ELA, SPED, and AP Lit teacher.

For many of those years, I had to work a second job waiting tables three to four nights a week to pay my bills. I was a single parent with two kids, and while my teaching job paid the rent, it didn't cover much else.

I think about all those nights I left my kids with a babysitter so I could wait tables until 10 p.m. (and then paid the babysitter out of what I’d just earned) because I needed the extra money for groceries, school clothes, birthday & Christmas gifts, etc.

And all that time, there was another opportunity I didn’t even know existed. An opportunity to earn extra money from the teacher resources I'd already created—without leaving my house. Without leaving my kids.

THE OPPORTUNITY WAS THERE. I JUST DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT IT.

Maybe you’re there right now.

What would a little extra income each month make possible for you? How could it make your life just a little easier—or maybe even change it?

IMPORTANT: WHAT THIS GUIDE IS NOT

I want you to know exactly what you’re purchasing.

This is a QUICK-START PLANNING GUIDE—NOT a complete step-by-step course on how to publish your original teacher resources.


Instead, this resource is designed to help you answer the questions that come BEFORE all of that:

What could I publish?
How do I turn what I already have into a product?
Where could I sell it?
Which platform might make sense for me?
And what should I do next?

My more comprehensive Amazon KDP e-course is mentioned near the end of the guide as an optional resource for readers who want step-by-step help learning the KDP publishing process. You are absolutely NOT required to purchase anything else to use or benefit from this Quick-Start Guide. The guide also discusses free ways to continue learning independently.

WHY I CREATED THIS GUIDE

I’m a veteran educator and have also been self-publishing through Amazon KDP since 2016, with more than 150 books published across multiple categories. I've learned how to generate a consistent monthly income from selling my original resources, and this has literally changed my life. It has benefited me, my children, my grandchildren, and the animals on my animal sanctuary in Maui. For me, self-publishing isn’t just about making more money. It’s about having more resources—and more freedom—to support the people, passions, and lives that matter most to me. Know YOUR why—It will motivate you to take action!


My goal with this guide is simple:

To help you look at what you’ve already created differently—and take your first step toward publishing it.


Because this guide discusses income opportunities, please note that the earnings examples shown are my personal results. Individual results will vary, and no level of sales or income is guaranteed.

Your first publishable resource may already be sitting on your computer.
