How to Become a Successful TES Author Step by Step Guide
This resource contains a detailed 26-page, step-by-step guide for authors. I first began to produce educational resources for TES in August 2015. When I look back at my early resources I cringe! I made so many mistakes…. Since then I have come a long way and learned so much. One of my resources made over 700 sales in the space of a few weeks and earned £2000 in royalties. In this 26 page, step-by-step guide I share my mistakes and my successes to help you avoid making the same mistakes and to become a successful author sooner than you would have done without this guide.
I do not claim to have all the answers and ‘my way’ might not be other people’s way. However, whether you are a potential author, an author starting out or already an author; I am sure that this guide can help you in some way and will prove a worthwhile investment.
The guide includes advice on:
- Making resources
- Maximising the selling potential of resources
- Creating a cover page
- Sourcing images
- Copyrighting your resources
- Pricing your resources
- Product Descriptions
- Adding links to other products and your shop in descriptions
- Creating your TES shop
- Branding
- Increasing the visibility of your resources
- Promoting your products through social media platforms
- Promoting yourself
- Dealing with reviews
- General advice
The resource also contains hyperlinks to some very useful sites and tools which will help you in making and promoting your products.
This resource contains two ready made, interactive templates for an advent calendar. All you need to do (or get your pupils to do) is populate the slides with ideas / activities appropriate to the needs of your students.

Literacy starter activities
Maths starter activities
Photographs of your pupils with a job to do, or a challenge, or a reward or treat
