Independent Seller Starter Kit

The Independent Seller Starter Kit

Build what’s yours.

Make the TPT decision, take your first step off the marketplace, and get every template you need to keep going.

If you opened TPT’s email on October 1 and felt your stomach drop, this kit is for you.

The new Exclusive membership means every teacher-seller has a decision to make by January 1, 2027.

Do you stay Exclusive, go Basic and sell on your own, or build something bigger?

There’s no one right answer.

But there is a right answer for you, and this kit helps you find it, then take your first step in just 7 days.

Inside the 54-page workbook:

• 3 “Start Here” paths for newer sellers, established sellers, and sellers staying Exclusive (yes, you can still go beyond the marketplace)
• The TPT Decision: the facts, your three real options, and what Exclusive still allows
• Who Are You Building For? The Missionary vs. Mercenary quiz and the 4 business types
• Platform Risk Audit: find out how exposed your income really is
• The BEYOND Framework: the starter version of all six pillars
• Your First 7 Days: one small action a day
• Catalog & Pricing Audit, Migration Checklist, Storefront Guide, and a 90-Day Roadmap

Plus the Swipe Vault:

• 25 lead magnet ideas
• A 7-email welcome sequence, fully scripted
• 100 short-form video hooks
• 50 blog post ideas for any niche
• Sales page, landing page, and “I’ve moved” announcement templates
• License template, school purchase toolkit, customer service replies, AI prompts, and more

Bonus tools:

• Calculator spreadsheet: plug in your numbers to see your break-even between Exclusive and Hybrid, plus a risk score, KPI tracker, and price ladder planner
• Editable Google Doc of the entire Swipe Vault, so you can copy and paste straight into your own business

This kit is for you if you sell on TPT, Etsy, Amazon, or similar platforms and you’re ready to stop depending on one company’s decisions.

You can teach for the income and the outcome.

You don’t have to choose.

TPT details are current as of October 2026.
