Be honest. Does any of this sound like you?

  • You know exactly what your store needs. You just can't seem to get started.
  • You start the month strong, then stall out somewhere in the middle.
  • You can't find the time, or the time you do find disappears into busywork.
  • You've spent years working toward the same goals without seeing the progress you want.
  • The recent changes in the teacher author space knocked the wind right out of your sails.
  • You spend more time listening to podcasts, watching YouTube, and taking courses about what to do than you spend actually doing it.

If you nodded along, here's the good news: this isn't a knowledge problem. It's a follow-through problem. And follow-through is exactly what we fix.

Another strategy won't grow your store. Action will.

You've already done the learning. What's been missing is a system that makes it easy to start, keeps you going when motivation dips, and a group of people who notice when you show up.

So we built one. Then we made it fun.

We've mastered gamifying productivity.

How it works

Proven strategies, broken into small tasks, with a reason to come back every single day.

1

Customize your challenge

Start with the monthly challenge, pick one from the library, or customize one to fit your exact needs. Choose your goal and we fill in proven tasks from 5 years of business coaching, or write your own.

2

Lock in, then play

Do the work, then tap the task. Every task you finish unlocks a quick game: a coin flip, a scratch-off, a puzzle, a card draw. You earn points while your business moves forward.

3

Hit your goals, win prizes

Reach the monthly points goal and you're entered in that month's prize drawing. Then a brand-new challenge starts, and you keep the momentum going.

What's inside

Everything you need to follow through, all in one place, on your phone or your computer.

Every month

A brand-new monthly challenge

Each month brings a fresh game board, a points goal, and a prize. It gives you a clear finish line, and a reason to open your laptop when you'd rather not.

  • A new game every month
  • Monthly points goal and prize drawing
  • Bonus points for showing up to live calls and sharing your wins

Games that make you want to come back

No boring checklists here. Stitch a quilt you design yourself, solve pattern puzzles, crack the clues in a mystery mansion, keep a volcano from erupting… every challenge plays differently.

  • Quick and simple: think puzzles and coin flips, not video games
  • Works on your phone, tablet, or computer

Questions

Still wondering? Here are the answers.

Is this only for TPT sellers?

Not at all. It's for anyone building a teacher author business, on TPT and off it: your own website, email list, social media, and more. Every challenge and task is customizable, so you can shape each month around your own goals.

How much time do I need?

As much or as little as you have. The Daily 5 is made of small tasks you choose yourself, and the challenges go at your pace. Many tasks take 15 minutes or less, and every one moves your business forward.

What if I fall behind or join mid-month?

There's nothing to catch up on. Jump into the current challenge any time, or start any of the 10 evergreen challenges in the library. Every point you earn counts toward the current month's goal.

I'm not a "gamer." Will I like this?

Yes! The games are short and simple: coin flips, scratch-offs, word puzzles, card draws. They're there to make finishing a task feel rewarding, not to test your gaming skills.

I'm a newer seller. Is this for me?

Absolutely. The task lists cover the fundamentals of growing a teacher author business: email, SEO, covers, previews, freebies, product creation and more. You'll build good habits from the start.

What devices does it work on?

Any phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser. You can even install the Daily 5 on your desktop so your tasks are one click away.

How do the prizes work?

Each month has a points goal. Reach it and you're automatically entered in that month's prize drawing. The prize is announced at the start of each month.

Can I cancel?

Yes. You can cancel any time from your Kartra account, and you won't be charged again.

Your to-do list is waiting. Let's make it fun.

Stop collecting strategies and start checking them off, with a community cheering you on and a game waiting after every task.
