Are you a teacher-author on Teachers Pay Teachers?

Do you want to learn how to market and sell your teaching resources using Pinterest? Terrific Pinning is a comprehensive Pinterest course for TpT sellers and teacherpreneurs who want to learn how to increase traffic to their TpT store, blog/website, and email list.

Do you want to get more traffic to your TpT store?

Maybe you feel frustrated because your products aren’t getting many views and they aren’t ranking very high in TpT search. You know that you have created amazing products, but people aren’t seeing them, so they can’t buy them!


Well hi! I’m Alex and I’m your guide to all things Pinterest. I remember the struggle of wishing I could increase my TpT earnings.


You’re not alone in feeling this way. I’ve helped hundreds of other sellers who have felt this way too.


In this course, I will teach you my step-by-step framework for increasing your TpT earnings by mastering Pinterest as a traffic source. 


I love to help busy and overwhelmed TpT sellers turn their passion for creating resources into a profitable business.


Sign up for Terrific Pinning so that you can finally increase your sales!


In this course, you'll learn how to:

 - Drive traffic to your TpT store,

 - Send buyers to your blog/website and...

- Grow your email list!


Creating reels, carousels, and stories on Instagram can be so time consuming.

The constant churn of content creation can leave you exhausted, with hours poured into crafting social posts that vanish into the algorithm abyss in the blink of an eye. Sure, Facebook ads might get you a few bites, but wouldn't it be nice to boost traffic without breaking the bank on ads?

If you're feeling the burnout, you're not alone. Many TPT sellers confide in me that they are tired of being on the hamster wheel that is social media marketing.

They say things like -

“I’ve been on Instagram for nearly two years and I’ve spent hours every week on it. I still don't even have 1,000 followers. I’ve had only a handful of click-throughs on TPT. I don’t think I’ve ever made a sale from it.”

“I stopped using my Facebook business page. No-one was seeing my posts! I made such a small number of sales on TPT. It was a huge waste of time.”

Enter Pinterest, a platform that packs a serious punch in the traffic department.

Unlike other platforms where content fizzles fast, Pinterest offers a steady stream of visitors, all without the ad spend. Pins have remarkable staying power, lasting months or even years compared to the fleeting lifespan of other social media posts. Instead of spending hours every day on social media, imagine spending a few hours a month on your marketing. Imagine generating traffic on autopilot while you focus on what you love in your business (like product creation) or while spending time with your family.

Teachers love Pinterest

Pinterest has around 500 million users. With a user base the size of a major country, Pinterest is a goldmine for TPT sellers. Thousands of teachers look for lesson ideas on Pinterest every single day.

Say hello to a platform where profitability doesn't depend on popularity.

Now is the time to join Terrific Pinning, where I share the exact strategies that have fueled organic growth on this powerhouse platform. It's not about likes or followers; it's about results and revenue.

I absolutely love this course! I initially found Alex and her Terrific Selling Tactics instagram and started following her. I can not express how happy I am that I found her and her courses! Her videos are quick and to the point and don't overwhelm you with a ton of information but gives you all the major points to help you be successful. I took her first course and when she launched this Pinterest course, I didn't hesitate! I knew that she was going to provide all the information needed to understand and use Pinterest and she absolutely delivered! Not only are her courses full of information and resources you need but it's absolutely worth the money! This course is just as amazing as her first one. I can not say enough great things about this course!! If you have been hesitating about investing in a course, whether you are a new or veteran TPT seller, DO IT!!! I promise you will not be disappointed!

I loved this course so much and it helped me to feel prepared and confident to use Pinterest for my business. There was so much that I did not know before this course and there was no way I could have figured it out on my own. I would recommend this course to everyone because it's just not worth using Pinterest the wrong way and regretting it later. It's better to know everything in this course from the beginning. Thanks for making a really incredible and easy to follow course!

Part of the reason I have always been inconsistent on Pinterest is because I wasn't fully confident in what makes a quality pin or what the "best practices" really were. I would just go in random pinning spurts, and then I would feel discouraged with poor results. I have learned so much from this course, especially when it comes to video pins and the importance of idea pins. I feel like I have an actual strategy now when it comes to pinning. I am excited to move forward and continue to refining the look and feel of my pins. Thank you so much, Alex!

As a TPT seller who wants to grow her business, I've known for a while that I need to figure out Pinterest. It seemed like such a huge task and I would keep putting it off because it felt like so much to learn. After attending Alex's session at TPT Forward 2021, I became more confident about jumping into Pinterest this year. I learned so much from that session that I decided to invest in this course. Alex presents everything in a way that is practical, easy to understand, and geared towards making an otherwise daunting concept feel very manageable. I feel like I have the knowledge and tools I need in order to get started on Pinterest the right way. Thank you Alex!

Lol... but in all seriousness, Pinterest has terrified me since I became a TpT Seller. The concept seemed simple enough (I guess?), but there just seemed to be so much nuance to pinning so your pins will actually be seen. This course breaks it all down into really manageable chunks. The pacing of the modules is great. A mix of video tutorials and text lessons cover all the bases. Now I'm pumped about using Pinterest and feel very confident that I'm not making a bunch of newbie mistakes I'd have to correct later. Thanks, Alex, for putting together this awesome course!

Testimonials

See what other TpT sellers have to say about Terrific Pinning.

My monthly sales have doubled!

Hope's Smart Studios - Stephanie

I took Alex’s course back in February 2022, in the hopes that I might FINALLY understand how to utilize Pinterest to grow my TPT business. At that time, I had two goals for myself as a TPT seller: grow my email list, and start using Pinterest to (hopefully) grow my list of subscribers and increase my TPT sales. Since taking Alex’s Pinterest course, my monthly sales over the last 6 months have doubled, and my mailing list has grown tenfold. I know I have Alex to thank for much of this. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to do the same!

Thank you so much Alex!

Frog Dog Teacher Tools - Teresa

Thank you so much Alex! Terrific Pinning was the perfect course for everything Pinterest and TpT! The content is well organized and easy to digest with videos and written/readable information. This course gets you taking action and growing your visibility on Pinterest right away. Have questions? The FB group is a supportive community and Alex is there answering questions and supporting everyone! I've taken many courses- Terrific Pinning ROCKS! This course is so full of great information! Everything Pinterest and more. The delivery is a perfect combination of video and text. I learned so much and will go back for more!

This course changed the future of my TPT store

Love Live Laugh Teach - Mariette Xerri

I began the course in April 2021 when I had only been selling for about a year. I knew I wanted to take my business to the next level, so I enrolled in Terrific Pinning. I whole heartedly believe that this course changed the future of my TPT store and helped me learn all about the importance using Pinterest to help grow my business. Alex provided a straightforward step by step guide plus useful strategies for Pinterest that I was able to implement immediately. I was also invited to the Facebook group where I was able to learn from a safe and supportive community. If you want to learn the ins and outs of Pinterest and take your store to the next level, I highly recommend Terrific Pinning!

ABSOLUTELY WORTH EVERY CENT!

Pencils and Planners - Jenni-Ann

I have been working on my TpT and Teacher Coaching business for almost a year. I have been avoiding Pinterest for just as long! It always seemed too daunting, too much work, too confusing, and I just wasn't ready to take it all on BUT I KNEW that Pinterest could be a game changer (long term) so I had to just go for it. I love Alex's support on Instagram and her course was perfect for me! She gives the lowdown on the basics, how to's, and answers questions that I would have before I have to ask them. She makes it easy to follow, easy to understand, and ACTUALLY made me feel super motivated to get my Pinterest pins, idea pins, and boards going! I've taken tons of notes and am SO excited to get my Pinterest started! And I can't forget to mention that she is incredibly supportive, when I had a silly question I DMed her on IG and she responds so quickly and gave honest suggestions and feedback!! Thank you Alex!!! You are one in a million!

Great Practical Guide to Pinterest

Campbell Creates Readers - Savannah

I just adore Alexandra's course on Pinterest! I had basically given up on Pinterest. My pins were horrendous. When I first started the course, I felt like "I already know this stuff" because I have some knowledge of Pinterest. But man, was there so much more to learn! If you already have a basic understanding on Pinterest, that doesn't mean there isn't invaluable information for you on this course. I learned so much from Alexandra about how to make pins, video pins, and the importance of my descriptions. I loved the styled mock-ups and the attachments she gave for video tags and the description cheat sheet. I used to dread doing pins, and after watching her modules I seriously found myself doing it late into the night. I can't say that this course has immediately translated into sales, and I don't think that was Alexandra's intention. I realize that Pinterest is a long game, and I know that the knowledge I've gained from this is going to give me the skills I need to succeed.

I would definitely recommend her!

Sherri Miller

Alex's course ‘Terrific Pinning’ has immensely helped my business! I found her tutorials and tips helpful and easy to implement. It provided so much value for my Pinterest strategy and my TpT store. I would definitely recommend her!

Wonderfully intuitive

Scienceopoly - Kara

I really enjoyed this course! There are several options out there when it comes to learning how to navigate Pinterest and I am so happy I ultimately chose this one. The flow of the course, the mix of video and text, and the helpful guides along the way were all wonderful! Thank you!

FAQ

  • Who is this course suitable for?

    If you are new to Pinterest, this course is exactly what you need. It will walk you through the basics of setting up your account and there are explicit tutorials for everything (from how to make boards to how to make video pins). However, this course is also suitable for those who have been on Pinterest longer. Even if you already know how to make a pin, do you know how to understand your analytics? Do you know how to promote pins? Do you have a solid pinning strategy?

  • How do I know this course is for me?

    If you feel overwhelmed at the thought of Pinterest marketing, this course is for you. If your pins aren’t getting seen, this course is for you. If you are struggling to get traffic and make sales, this course is for you. If you are feeling frustrated with Pinterest, this course is for you!

  • Do I have to complete this course in a certain amount of time?

    There is no set time frame! You can complete this course at your own pace. All of my courses are self-paced with continuous access!

  • What if I haven’t made my Pinterest account yet? What if I don't have a website?

    It's okay if you haven't made your Pinterest account yet! Module 1 will walk you through getting started. Although it's ideal to have your own website, it's not mandatory for being on Pinterest. I spent many years pinning directly to TPT before I had a website. As of 2024, I've also noticed that my pins linking to TPT are performing well. You can still market on Pinterest even if you don't have your own website.

  • Does this course show me how to use Tailwind? Will I learn about promoted pins?

    Tailwind is discussed in this course. There are lessons and videos to help you understand the basics. Although the main focus of this course is organic pinning, there is an entire module dedicated to promoted pins. So yes, you'll learn how to create Pinterest ads!

  • I’m concerned about investing in a course. How do I know it will be worth it?

    Business is all about investment. You get out what you put in. You can also claim this as a business expense at tax time! When I started Pinterest, there were no courses. I had to spend hours and hours figuring out what to do. I made countless mistakes and then spent more hours going back and fixing them. I wish I'd had all the information I needed in one place! This course has also been created to be content rich, but still affordable. There are lots of courses out there that are double the price and have no relevance to TPT.

  • Will my Pinterest improve after taking this course?

    If you complete this course in its entirety and implement the advice given, then you will start creating better quality pins and your traffic will improve. However, there is no such thing as ‘overnight success’ on Pinterest. If you are brand new to Pinterest, it can take a few months for your account to take off. Even when you are more experienced, a new pin can take a while to gain traction. Pinterest is a long game. That’s why it’s important to get it right the first time.

  • Pinterest changes all the time. Will this course be updated?

    Yes! I have updated this course countless times since it launched. Whenever there are new changes in the Pinterest world, I update the course and make posts in the Facebook group too. The best news? I try strategies on my own account and share what is working! I'm an active TPT seller with an active Pinterest account for my store. I give advice that is effective and up to date.

  • Can I find this information for free?

    I hate to say it, but there is some terrible advice out there about Pinterest. From excessive re-pinning and pinning parties, through to thinking that deleting pins is a good idea. I’ve recently heard of sellers making 20 pins per product or making pins every single day. Yikes! This course is the complete opposite. I’m all about realistic and achievable pinning and I give you all the tips that you need. You can string together a bunch of people’s strategies, implement bad advice, spend hours googling (while getting frustrated), or even just 'wing it'. But here’s the thing, at what cost? There's nothing worse than wasting your precious time by doing the wrong thing and making no progress. Wouldn’t you rather do it the right way and this course will pay for itself?

Alexandra Baxter

I'm Alex, a full-time TPT seller, multiple milestone earner, and 2x TPT Forward presenter. I help busy and overwhelmed TPT sellers by giving actionable tips and advice that will increase their TPT earnings. When I first opened my store in 2015, I struggled to make sales. I felt frustrated that my hard work was not reflected in my PayPal account! I spent the next few years transforming my business from $2.70 in my first month to five figures a month. As I reached 200k in all-time earnings, I decided to share my knowledge with other sellers so that they could turn their passion for creating resources into a profitable business. I created 'The Terrific Teacherpreneur' community, through my podcast, Facebook group, and Instagram. Since then, I have helped thousands of TPT sellers to transform their TPT stores and increase their sales. Take a small step and become a terrific teacherpreneur today. I can't wait to meet you!
