10 Ailments of the TPT Seller

Who loves Teachers Pay Teachers? I do!!! I’ve been selling since November 2012 and I’ve loved every minute of it. I decided it was time to come up with the 10 Ailments of a TPT seller (similar to my Top 10 SLP Ailments).

1. Fontaholic: You spy cool fonts everywhere and you even sometimes know the name of a font (Papyrus, anyone?).
2. Clipart-itis: You’ve got more clipart than you know what to do with. But you know there might come a day when you NEED that striped donut picture. I promise.
3. NoMotivation-losis: This will hit you every so often. Symptoms include not being able to find the motivation to start or finish any product.
4. AmazonPrime-itis: This hits when you realize you’re out of laminating pouches/velcro/binder rings and you NEED them now to finish a product.
5. CrossEyed Syndrome: You contract this after you’ve spent hours looking at one product. Treatment includes having someone else proofread!
6. Cover-opathy: You spend lots of time trying to make your product covers look professional and eye catching.
7. NightBeforeSale-tosis: Symptoms include racing heartbeat, general excitement and jitters as you wait for the sale to start.
8. ChaChing-ulosis: This occurs each and every time you hear the “cha ching” which notifies you that you’ve made a sale!
9. LowFeedback-derma: Symptoms include anger, denial, and then acceptance. It’s like being back in high school and not feeling popular.
10. Q&A-itis: That feeling of dread when you get an email notification that you have a Q&A. Your heart pounds until you read what it is!

There you have it! Which of the above do you suffer from??
