Teachers pay teachers.com - marketplace! Should we step in there?

Thanks for the tip. I will look into it.
Is it ethical? If you have the qualifications, I don´t see why not...

I am glad you mentioned this site. I haven't seen it before. They say this in their faq:

Who can sell original and used resources on the site?
Any teacher from any discipline at any grade level, from preschool to high school to college to continuing education. You can be a current, former or retired teacher or even just a natural educator who creates teaching materials for non-traditional subject areas. Anyone can sell used materials, too. This is an open marketplace by design.

This does look like a promising marketplace. As a former English teacher, I would be interested in checking it out. I could see several of my products here.

That's a very interesting idea for a marketplace. I had no idea such a place existed

Now, I don't know about selling courses there, but running such a site... now, that's something worth looking into.

God help these poor teachers now that this has
been exposed on Warrior Forum... lol

I homeschool my children, and I love this site for pre-made lesson plans and ideas for hands on practical activities. I wouldn't have a problem buying from a non-teacher if their product was good and served my purpose.

The last thing these sites needs are IM's spreading crappy affiliate links around.

I am on TPT and another site like it teachersnotebook.com

decent sales, but its competitive products need to be up to par. If you are not familiar with common core or other standards good luck getting any sales.

BUT..... I do have an idea........ how about teaching teachers internet marketing. Anyone with me on this??? PM me, let's talk.

very interesting, IM + University lecturer = profit, will let you know how I get on.

teacherspayteachers.us still out their if any one wants it

I create products for the site, and what sells is elementary school stuff...

I have a teaching certificate to teach ESL, ha ha.

I know this an old topic but there was a WSO about it before this topic started. I know because I reviewed it! (Although, he forgot to tell me when he launched as he didn't have a date when I reviewed it for him, so I don't know if I sent him an email with my review or he was supposed to remind me when the launch was so I could add my review to the thread. He didn't remind me. Sorry Joshua!).

But yeah nothing unethical about it if you have something that will actually be useful and helpful to teachers. Nothing wrong with it at all.

This could actually be a good niche if you think about it. Helping teachers make more money (I come from a family of teachers and I have several friends who are still teachers and many of them often get part-time income to get some more money) on websites like this.

I was going to try creating some stuff for the site but I forgot about it. But only because I have knowledge of what would work well in a classroom and was coming up with ideas for stuff I would have liked to use with my students.

So, yeah, like anything, do plenty of research of partner with someone who has the knowledge before you start putting out products. You don't want to put out sub-par half-assed products. That doesn't work!

What WSO? Would have LOVED to see that one.. I cant find it in search.
