Hi, I’m Mike!

I’m excited to offer something brand new: a 4-week coaching program designed to help you make data-driven decisions and boost your TPT sales.

In this coaching program, we’ll use the Self Serve Data Tool to analyze your store’s performance, pinpoint areas for improvement, and implement changes to get better results.

If you’re serious about improving your store and are willing to commit to these weekly sessions, join our boot camp!

This is the perfect opportunity to fix those leaky buckets in your sales funnel and start making real progress. Don’t miss out!

Cheers,
Mike

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Each week, Mike taught us how to analyze a different piece of our sales data to find our “leaky buckets”. His perspective and expertise helped me learn which products to focus on to yield the highest earnings impact.

Level Up Your Business Intelligence

Mike uses a unique Bucket Metaphor approach to data analysis that helps identify areas in the customer ‘purchase funnel’ that might be ‘leaking’. That is: they came, they saw, and they left without buying. And you wonder, “What happened?”

Take Action To Improve Your Store

The best part was we got to practice right then and there by finding a resource to fix, sharing links, and getting feedback from the group. I was surprised by what others saw that I had completely missed. It helped me think more like a buyer than a seller and really opened my eyes to how even the smallest tweaks could make a huge impact.

Sales down?

I bet you’re wondering…

1. What do I fix?

2. How do I fix it?

The four-week Bucket Repair Boot Camp will give you a process to improve your TPT store.

How do I fix it?

“What do I fix?”
Zoom Meeting

Every Sunday, I will teach a different part of the course.

(Course under development and subject to change)
  1. Fixing the preview bucket
  2. Fixing the product description bucket
  3. Fixing the search snippet bucket
  4. Higher traffic, lower competition keywords

If you’re not able to make the Zoom meeting, you can watch the recording.

I’ll also be holding “Feedback Club” office hours for Boot Camp participants where you can pop in for a chat!

Attendance in Zoom Meetings is optional. You can turn your camera on and talk. Or, you can keep everything off and just participate via the Zoom chat.

Discussion Board

Get Feedback from other TPT Sellers doing the boot camp.

Each week, you will need to:

  1. Improve at least ONE product
  2. Post what you did and include TWO screenshots (before and after)
  3. Reply to THREE other TPT sellers with feedback and ideas.

“If you are looking for a course that delivers on its promise, then this is it.”

I became a member of Mike’s SEOTpreneur PRO community just under a year ago.

By watching his videos and implementing his strategies, my TPT sales for this year have increased by 129% compared to last year.

I decided to take the 4-week Boot Camp course, to further improve my resources.

The weekly meetings with the other course members were inspiring and full of helpful tips on how to improve my products.

Best of all were the weekly homework sessions, where the feedback was invaluable. I thought my titles, covers, previews and descriptions were good enough, but the constructive criticism was helpful in giving me insight into where I needed to make the necessary changes.

The image below shows the progress made by one of my resources that I worked on during the course.

Within the last two weeks, 33 people viewed the page, 19 people looked at the preview and 14 people decided to purchase the resource.

The conversion rate, for that period of time, is 42.4%. Not bad!

If you are looking for a course that delivers on its promise, then this is it

Boot Camp
Things to Know

This is a brand new program, so things may change.

You need to have a basic annual membership which costs $97 and gives you access to the Self Serve Data Tool. You can also sign up for as many boot camps as you like.

If you have a SEOTpreneur PRO community membership, you get full access to the boot camp and Self Serve Data Tool as part of your package.

The next boot camp runs “four weeks” in January 2025.

  • There is also an optional warm-up week at the end of December to help TPT sellers with uploading data into the Self Serve Data Tool.
  • There is a bonus week at the end where we will look at an advanced table-version of the Self Serve Data Tool.

You must sign up before Jan 5, 2024 to join this cohort.

Each week has a Zoom meeting component and a discussion forum component.

The Zoom meeting will be on Sunday at 3 PM and go over that week’s lesson. The meeting is recorded in case you can’t make it in person.

I will also have office hours (“Feedback Club”) throughout the week if participants need help or want to give each other feedback on their products .

Sunday Zoom meetings will be 45 minutes long (with an extra 45 min peer feedback session.)

After we look at the data, you’ll need to Improve (at least) ONE product, write about what you did in the discussion forum and include TWO screenshots (before and after). You will also need to reply to THREE other TPT sellers with feedback and ideas.

You get what you put in. How much work you do is up to you.

I totally get it. Life happens, the day job gets in the way, and sometimes things change.

If you need to stop half way through, that’s okay.

There is a 14-day refund policy on the Self Serve Data Tool basic membership.

You need to have access to the Self Serve Data Tool and the discussion forum (Basic membership).

You need a Google Account to access the Self Serve Data Tool.

You may want to have additional tools to help you with keyword research or keyword position tracking.

(Here’s how to look up the search volume for a TPT keyword for free.)

You’re welcome to use whatever tool that gets the job done. It does not have to be one of my tools.

(Except, of course, the self serve data tool. This whole boot camp is about using that tool to know what to fix and how to fix it.)

No. When you upload your product stats CSV and sales data CSV to the SEOTpreneur data warehouse, you are the only person who can visualize that data.

You do not have to share screenshots of your Self Serve Data Tool (although you are welcome to.)

Please note: your data is used for anonymous research. It may be aggregated to make statements like: “TPT sellers who joined the boot camp experienced an average 23% increase in sales for the products they focused on during the program.”

You can read more about data security and data research in the Self Serve Data Tool Q&A.

Unfortunately, no.

The TPT Seller Ultimate Bundle includes all of my stand-alone Google Sheet tools that do not have an ongoing cost for me.

  • The Ultimate Bundle includes all of my TPT Seller tools that I publish on TPT.
  • If I have to pay ongoing fees like server costs, then I can’t include that tool on my TPT Seller store.

The Self Serve Data Tool is a brand new TPT data tool that I am developing.

  • It doesn’t use Google Sheets at all.
  • As a developer, I have to pay ongoing server costs. That’s why the Self Serve Data Tool is a subscription model.
  • The more data you upload, the more server costs I have to pay. That’s why there has to be an upload credit system to keep things manageable between smaller and larger sellers.

Is this Boot Camp for me?

Let’s find out

TPT Sellers who have decided to run the marathon.

  • Sellers who recognize it will take time and effort to improve their stores.
  • Sellers who don’t know where to start.
  • Sellers who want a framework to follow.
  • Sellers who are motivated by a homework schedule.
  • Sellers who like being held accountable to others (by replying 3 times per week to other sellers on what they have been working on.)

You should have at least a year of selling on TPT before doing the boot camp.

  • Teaching (and selling on TPT) has seasons.
  • Different products sell well at different times of the year.
  • We’ll be looking at your historical data to know what to work on next.

If you have a spam store, your store will be reported to TPT.

If you ask other TPT sellers to leave a review on your products, exchange reviews, or follow your store, this boot camp is not for you.

If you don’t want other TPT sellers to see your store or what you’re doing.

  • Anyone can sign up for the boot camp, including competitors.
  • People can sign up for the boot camp in the future to gain full access to all the resources and previous sessions.

Yes, probably.

The cloud server hasn’t been tested on stores with over 1,000 resources, yet. There may be some technical glitchies because you’re uploading larger files to the cloud. If your CSV file doesn’t upload properly, email [email protected]

Please note that the Self Serve Data tool uses a credit system to make sure the system is accessible to small and large sellers.

  • Every product in your CSV requires a credit to upload, so the larger the file, the more credits you’ll need.
  • You get 10,000 free credits at the start of the month.
  • During the boot camp, you will be able to upload one CSV file per week (without using your credits.)
  • For more information about the credit system, check out this FAQ.

Probably not.

You need to be selling at least a year (because we need to have a year of sales data to find out which resources might sell well next month.)

If you have 5 resources and you started your store over a year ago, then you can sign up. (i.e. It’s okay if you started your store, and then haven’t worked on it for a year.)

Yes, as long as you have been selling at least a year.

Yes, as long as you have been selling at least a year

If you have a lot of sales, you might have problems uploading your sales data CSV to our cloud server (because of the size of your CSV file.)

Please read the question above about “I have 5,000 resources.”

The boot camp does not focus on content creation. It focuses on improving our best sellers to increase sales.

If your goal is to increase sales by creating more resources, then the 4-week Bucket Repair Boot Camp isn’t for you.

There’s a TPT seller in the SEOTpreneur PRO network who motivates me. If you look up their comments from the beginning, they posted their strategy of being so prolific, they can’t be ignored. (It was a clever take on the idea: “be so good, they can’t ignore you.)

So, I watched this seller create content for a year. They focused on templating and optimizing the content creation process. They published content at superhuman rates. During Back to School season, they 10x’d their previous store income.

There’s definitely something to be said about the strategy of content creation, given that their store has grown to four digits per month. Once you have viable product lines, creating more content in those product lines is a repeatable path to success.

The boot camp doesn’t focus on that approach, but it’s something to think about.

(The boot camp is about bucket repair: using data to strategically fix our previews, product descriptions, and titles to make the best of the traffic we currently have.)

Only one week in this boot camp focuses on keyword research and optimization (week 4).

The other three weeks focus on fixing the preview bucket, the product description bucket, and the search snippet bucket.

You can always ask your keyword research and keyword position questions during the office hour Zoom sessions, as well as in the discussion board; however the main focus of this boot camp is bucket repair, and not keyword optimization.

I’m in. Let’s do this!

The next boot camp runs in January 2025.

Registration closes Saturday Jan 4, 2025.
