How to Come Up with New TPT Product Ideas (Without Feeling Overwhelmed!)
Coming up with new product ideas for your Teachers Pay Teachers store doesn't have to be stressful or time-consuming. In Episode 7 of TPT Chats, we're sharing practical strategies to help you brainstorm fresh, purposeful ideas -- especially when you feel stuck!
Creative and Strategic Ways to Generate TPT Resource Ideas
If you're wondering what to make next for your TPT store, here are a few approaches we talk about in this episode:
- Start with your classroom: Think about what your students need right now. If something helped your class, chances are it will help others too.
- Build off of your existing resources: Look at your current products and identify opportunities to create bundles, extensions, or seasonal versions.
- Listen to your buyers: Read reviews, respond to Q&A, and notice what people are asking for. Their questions are often your idea gold!
- Use curriculum standards: National and state standards (like Common Core or TEKS) can guide your content and keep your ideas aligned with what teachers need.
- Take notes when inspiration hits: We share how we track random ideas so they're ready when it's time to create.
Avoid Burnout While Planning New Products
Many sellers feel pressure to always create something "new." But sometimes your best-selling resource can be repurposed or updated. In this episode, Annette & I talk about working smarter, not harder, by organizing your ideas and leaning into what's already working.
Whether you're just getting started on TPT or looking to grow your product line with intention, this episode will help you develop a repeatable system for content creation.
