Description
Hey there! Welcome to The Teacher Biz Podcast with Heather O’Donnell.
Each week, Heather shares strategies she’s used in her own online business to replace her teacher income (several times over) while working just 25 hours a week. Learn how a profitable teacher biz actually works (psst… we’re not throwing up resources on TPT) and how to get started without falling into the most common pitfalls and time wasters in the online business world.
Through a mix of interviews and solo episodes, you’ll learn about building an email list, creating and selling digital products, time management, a must-have mindset for success, how to run a profitable business on your own schedule, and much more.
Hit subscribe and get ready to learn how to build a profitable home business with a lot less effort than it takes to run a classroom!
