The Harsh Truth: Not All TPT Resources Can Be SEO'd
Ever wondered why your meticulously crafted TPT resources aren't getting found, despite your best SEO efforts? After nine years as a TPT seller and five years coaching other teacher entrepreneurs, I've discovered a hard truth: most sellers are solving the wrong problem.The issue isn't that your resources lack proper search optimization.
