$10M+ Per Year From a Marketplace He Built For Colleagues

Teachers Pay Teachers is an online marketplace where teachers buy and sell teaching materials like lesson plans, worksheets, printable games, etc.

As of 2022, more than 300 teachers had apparently earned $1M+ in profit via the platform 💰

One TPT success story we featured recently…

• $2000/Month Side Hustle Selling Digital Products To Teachers

🚀 TPT’s origin story…

In 2006, Paul Edelman, a New York City public school teacher, had a light bulb moment. He noticed that his students learned best when he incorporated teaching ideas from his colleagues…

So he decided to build a website where educators everywhere could share their ideas and resources.

Hard to get an exact revenue number for the business, but one estimate has it between $5 and $25 million per year, and other estimates go much higher.

Safe to say TPT is pulling in at least $10 million per year 🤑

Especially when you consider this 2019 report…

last year, around 70 percent of all U.S. educators utilized the service.

I love that Paul Edelman was a teacher himself and built an online marketplace that would allow his colleagues to earn money from existing activities.

Could you do something like this for another niche or profession? 🤔
