I have been producing educational resources for just under 3 years. Last year my Art resources were the most downloaded globally and sales are continuing to rise. I have developed a twitter following of over 12,600 (@maelhmatthews) which is helping to promote resources further. This document might help you develop your own brand. Clear, unambiguous advice based on my own experiences. Themes covered in the resource include; the use of social media to promote your resources pricing communicating with buyers time management keeping the right side of copyright and other laws choosing the right topics developing a brand identity Choosing the right "look" for your resources. Managing feedback comments..... and much more. This document outlines a philosophy which is working for me and it might help you develop your own way forward. Good luck!
