Scipi (TpT Seller) re: Back to School Activity Packet
I saw your posting on the Sellers Forum page of Teachers Pay Teachers; so, I thought I would look at your freebie. You have very good ideas!
Since you are a newbie, here are a few suggestions that might help you to better market your products. First, your cover page contains too much information. Make it as simple as possible, but still attractive to use as a thumbnail to entice buyers. Add a second page which is a directions or suggestions page. List several ways you use this product in your classroom. Never assume that a buyer knows how, why, or when to use your product. OR you might make a Table of Contents.
Use the footer to put the copyright symbol, your name and date of creation on EVERY page. Items, especially free ones, have been "stolen" from TPT and posted on other sites to be sold. You have to protect all of your creations. Also, number your pages.
If you have time, I would love to get your input on one of my freebies listed below.
