As both a small business owner and an independent author, there are a million people who want your money.
I think all of them profit more from our businesses and books than we do.
Lately, most want to sell you a membership.
I hate memberships, but I do pay for one. Just one. One to help me with my social media posts for my teacher business.
Well, this lady who offers this service emailed us to sell a bundle to create bundles for TpT. She offered a bunch of templates that you could use to make products and sell them on Tpt and create bundles with them. She sold all of this for about $500. No subscriptions, just a lifetime right to use the template and the like.
I confessed I considered it.
But if I were being honest, I was only interested in one of the products she offered.
And what she sold wasn’t exactly what I needed. They were this puzzled. Imagine an image divided into squares, then mix them up: you get a puzzle. What she sold were templates and images with 16 tiles. I wanted 9.
And that’s how I began to research how to create my own. I learned how to do it in Photoshop, which was a great learning experience. I created my first set of puzzles. They are for the initial sound in Spanish words. 32 puzzles. 9 tiles (or pieces) each.
I feel so satisfied with the result. I hope people like it.
