A FREE TPT Seller Tool and the 300 Magic Page Views 🍏 SEOTpreneur News 7

Sorry for the drama!

The SEOT in SEOTpreneur stands for Strategy, Effort, Optimize, and Tinker.

(The acronym originally comes from a goal-setting resource I made for students. If you look at the Student Reflection Questions / Rubric on this page, I wonder what would the “Wheel of Success” for your TPT business might look like?)

Selling on TPT is a long journey. For me, selling with an SEOT mindset means we

• make mistakes,
• try new things,
• see what’s working, and
• try to head in that direction

as we work our way towards personal development and financial freedom.

This weekend, there was a little bit of drama and controversy.

If you were blindsided and got caught in an uncomfortable middle ground, I apologize! Social change is hard.

Are people upset because of the existence of a free seller tool? Or the name I initially chose?

So, to try to make things a little easier for TPT sellers who just want to use a free data tool to help them improve their TPT business, I’ve separated the tool from the social movement to get TPT / IXL to update the TPT Seller Dashboard for all!

• Here’s the website for a FREE Seller Tool: https://afreesellertool.com​
• Here’s the original website https://yourfreedataplaybook.com – It’s still up because my goal is still social change and making the world a better place. (Why, yes, I’m saying this with a straight face, and without hyperbole. There’s a slideshow on this website explaining my process. I’ll also be publishing a video of the slideshow.)

What’s the end goal, Mike?

Right now, I get that people are using strong words.

In a year, it would be cool if people said, “I might not agree with the way Mike did it… but we do have a better TPT Seller dashboard now…”

Active citizenship means having courageous conversations to make our communities better. It doesn’t mean we agree. But, hopefully, through constructive dialogue, we can get to a better place!

And, as we get more information, we can always pivot!

PS: I know you’ve heard that we need 300 page views before we can analyze data. Do you agree with what we say in this livestream?​

PPS: Vote Now – In our free TPT Seller Data tool on Google Sheets, how should we set the default colors for page views? Option 1: Make everything below 300 views red, and then use a color gradient for views above 300. Option 2: Don’t set a minimum, and use a color gradient for all views. What do you think?
