DATA AND SEARCH SECRETS - TPT CONFERENCE 2014

Hey gang!  Well, I finally made it.  We are officially out of school.  It was a tough climb and my knuckles are a bit bloody from clawing my way through, but I wouldn't change it for the world.  That last run with the babes was priceless!

So, now that school is out of the way, I can focus on summer plans.  In addition to a handful of fun vacations, VEGAS 2014 is definitely happening for this girl.  I have been the last two years and it is always such a ride.  This year I am upping the ante . . . I am speaking at the 1st Annual TPT Conference.  It's supa-dupa exciting.  They teamed up with the eva-fabulous Ryan Van Meter {TPT's very own Head of Data} and do we ever have a informative show in the works for you!!!  

What's the topic you ask??  We are rolling with a tech savvy little talk we've titled, "The Data Advantage: Optimize Your Store for Search and Success!"  I bet you didn't see that coming ;)  Data and computer information . . . from the data and computer guy {hehehehe}.  

I personally have learned some amazing tips just from working with Ryan.  I am pretty savvy about TPT, search, and data.  However, he pulled some pretty rad-tastic tips out of his back pocket that I didn't see coming.  And, I must say that these sweet nuggets of info have really have helped me hone my TPT-ing skills.  Mr. Van Meter is a wealth of information :)

During our presentations, we will also chat about using the data found within your TPT dashboard to help set and reach goals.  My portion of the handout is focused on spreadsheets to help you track data to help you reach goals {simply add a text box and type in your information}.  I originally started tracking my own data when a sweet friend of mine offered to share a sheet she had created.  The one and only Jen Ross from Teacher By the Beach showed me how powerful goal setting can be and I haven't looked back since.  Want to start setting and tracking your goals too??  Simply click on the picture below to check out a few handy dandy tables . . . 

Our handout is not yet in my store, as Ryan is still working on his portion of the document {search optimization and TPT search ranking tips}.  Life at TPT has been so busy for him lately.  However, keep an eye out for his section to pop up in my shop.  You will most definitely want take a peek at this portion . . . it's gonna be so informative!  We're talking TPT TIPS from the man in charge of data and search :)

Not everything we are going is going to be in our handout, so you should really think about hitting up our presentation.  Ryan has oodles of additional TOP SECRET information to dish out.  It's kinda like insider trading, but you won't find yourself getting arrested after receiving the invaluable information {well, most likely . . . it is Vegas after all}.  Click the picture to learn more about the upcoming TPT Conference on July 11th!  

 A huge thank you to TPT for providing such a 

wonderful opportunity for teachers everywhere!!!
