Episode 73: A Prime Example: An Amazon Storefront Side Hustle with Brooke Hubbard
For many motivated teacherpreneurs, we strive to be successful in the classroom and online. But for so many teacher side hustlers, the latter half only takes one form, and that’s TeachersPayTeachers. Like many entrepreneurs, Brooke wanted to explore what multiple streams of income look like rather than limiting herself to the traditional classroom/TpT combo. For Brooke, the natural extension of her classroom lessons was to create and curate an Amazon Storefront. Brooke’s Instagram account, like her Amazon storefront, is all-encompassing. You won’t find just Classroom Transformation products there. Brooke realized that serving all of a teacher's needs—from providing gift guides and outfits of the day to solutions for flexible seating— would yield the greatest profit and provide teachers with #allthethings they are looking for. Stop thinking about Amazon as just the place where you shop for the next thing you need; it’s about to start looking at it as an opportunity for generating the kind of income you want while providing your fellow teachers with tried and true recommendations that they are looking for. In this episode, you’ll hear: -Why making connections on Instagram is the first step— literally -Why you shouldn’t just limit yourself to one category -How to make your Storefront turn your Wishlist into a reality -The Do’s and Don’t of starting your Amazon storefront Links mentioned: Aliana Lowe's @theyoungeducator episode https://anchor.fm/edverything/episodes/Episode-13-How-To-Document-Your-Teaching-Journey-And-Why-Every-Educator-Should-with-Aliana-Lowe-e2olre @Teacherbestill https://www.instagram.com/teacherbestill/
