- Presto Plans made this fun play on “The dog ate my homework.” Her experience with TpT? “I’ve heard people say that if you find a job you love you will never work a day in your life. I definitely feel that way about teaching, and I also feel that way about being a seller on TpT (which I now consider my second job!). Aside from the financial benefits, I have found it so rewarding to know that the resources I create for my students are also helping students all around the world!”
- Dynelle Dunn has this to say about her TpT experience: “Teachers Pay Teachers has made me a better, more confident teacher and I’ve loved every minute of being a part of this amazing company. I love that teachers are finally be recognized for all of the extra time and work they put into their jobs. The extra money is great, but getting feedback that says ‘This is amazing, my students loved this activity’ is priceless! Thank you TPT.”

In such a challenging field, it has been so energizing and motivating to meet and become a part of such a positive, uplifting, and supportive community of educators.

- Crayonbox Learning is a TpT veteran Teacher-Author who helps new Teacher-Authors and her community. Her thoughts? “Becoming a seller on TpT has blessed my life in more than one way. The income portion has made it possible for me to help my family, as well as participate in some {fundraising} projects to ‘give back.’ Something that I truly believe in. TpT has also provided opportunities to network with teacher sellers from all over the world! It’s such an amazing community! I treasure the friendships that have been developed since becoming a TpT seller. There is also the aspect of creating resources that help children learn. There is no greater feeling than knowing something that I created helped a student grasp a concept that he or she may have been having trouble with. I feel like I am a part of something truly special.”
- Need a banner for your stationary that subtly reminds folks where they can find inspiration? Poppydreamz Digital Art has got you covered! She says, “I think my meme button really says it all — TpT is where you find Collaboration, Inspiration, and Freedom! I was trying to earn some extra money selling digital designs on another site, but was really having a tough time finding my niche. I made a couple of alphabet and math sets which some teachers from TpT must have found; because in one week, I had 3 different teachers ask if they could create products using my clipart to sell on TpT. So, I decided to check it out myself. Well, obviously, I joined immediately! I have collaborated with wonderful teacher-sellers to help them create fun products. I am inspired daily by all the wonderful products and ideas running rampant in the forums. The freedom of being financially able to do things for my family that I hadn’t done before is only increasing as I continue this exciting trek. This journey has been fabulous so far and I can’t wait to see where it takes us all!”

- Maggie of Maggie’s Files sums it up nicely when she says, “TpT has improved my ability to teach effectively, which has a positive impact on my students. Being able to create these products has energized and inspired me to become a better teacher. Since I started my journey at TpT a year ago, I have learned an extraordinary number of things from the amazing teachers in the forums. As a result of this I feel that I have a purpose at TpT and I am looking forward to an amazing 2014.”
