Review: How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business

By: amyswanderingcomment

Homeschoolers are typically one-income families. More and more moms are looking for a way to bring in some extra money, and the educational printables business is booming! Having made a few printables myself, I can say that creating them is the easy part. Most of it can be learned through trial & error and a few Google searches. Selling them however? That is easier said than done.

I have the privilege of reviewing How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business, an ebook written by Jill of Enchanted Homeschooling Mom.

How-To-Succeed-As-An-Educational-Printables-Business

How To Succeed As An Educational Printables Business is a workbook that walks you through the process of what it takes to sell your printables. It is not as simple as creating your pages and finding a market for them. How are you going to deliver your product? Do you need to register your business? What steps are going to protect your copyright? Jill answers all of these questions and more in these chapters:

  • So, You Want To Start An Educational Printables Business…
  • How Will I Start My Business…
  • What Is Your Target Audience…
  • Creating Your Educational Printables…
  • How Will I Get My Items To My Buyers…
  • Price Point – Not Just How Much I Want To Charge…
  • Advertising My Business…
  • Why I Have to Keep Good Records…
  • Tax implications…
  • Are You Having Fun Yet…

Jill has created a successful printables business with her Enchanted Homeschooling Mom Member’s Only Website. She has a heart for helping others get started, and plenty of experience to share. Let her help you avoid some of the obstacles along the way by creating a start-to-finish plan.

How Do I Teach Nature Study? Day 4: Make It Easy

By: amyswanderingcomment

nature study

In our early years of homeschooling, I got caught up in trying to make everything an educational experience. Our attempts at nature study usually ended in one of two ways:

1- I squashed the fun out of our explorations by trying to turn everything into a project.
OR
2- We never got around to nature study because my plans were too elaborate to carry out.

All of you tired and stretched-too-thin homeschool Mommas, relax and slow down. You know what your kids are going to remember about nature study? Two things –> God’s creation is amazingly beautiful, and YOU spent time with THEM admiring it.

Don’t worry about whether Charlotte Mason would approve of your activities, or whether your nature journals are worthy of being displayed on the coffee table. Just pick somewhere to start and have fun!!

I am a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants gal. I thrive on having a weekly routine in place, but please oh please don’t make me decide now what we might want to explore three months from now. Or even next week! Nature study is one area where we can pick and choose according to what we are interested in at the moment.

Having our nature notebook printables ready to go is the key to making our Nature Fun Fridays run smoothly. I can create lists of activities, and pages of printables, but those are useless if they just stay on my computer. I keep a binder filled with pages that we might want to use during the current school year. It is super quick and easy to flip through and find something to do each week.

My Nature Notebooking Binder is divided into five sections:
{I am linking to a few examples of what I have in each section.}

Do you have a nature table to show us, or maybe a Nature Study Pinterest board? Get those links ready because tomorrow we will have a Nature Fun Friday linky!

It is always a relief to get to this point every year, where the the courses are nailed down and the books are ordered! I will post a break-down of each subject and how I tackle each one in an upcoming post. I love to see how families work it all out!

  • Around the World Wednesday
  • Poetry Tea Thursday
  • Nature Fun Friday

Our students: dd16 (11th), dd14 (9th), ds10 (5th), dd8 (3rd), dd4 (PreK)

Because I overlap curriculum for several ages, I am listing by subject instead of grade.

~ Bible ~

~ History ~

~ Geography ~

~ Science ~

~ Math ~

~ High School Electives ~

~ Writing ~

~ Grammar ~

~ Spelling ~

~ Lit/Reading ~

Homeschool Theme of the Day

By: amyswandering2 Comments

theme of the day

We had great success last year with our Theme of the Day Chart!

With 5 kiddos needing my attention, it was hard for us to fit in the fun stuff like crafts or artist studies. Adding them to our morning homeschool routine allows us to stay on track without the extras slipping through the cracks.

I am changing it up just a bit this year by using Wednesday to focus on Geography instead of Writing. Last year’s Theme of the Day Chart is still available if that suits you better.

{All of the links below are FREE, but that could change so double check!}

~ Our 2013-14 Theme of the Day Chart ~

~ Monday with the Masters ~

~ Creativity Tuesday ~
