Not So Secret TpT Trick

Recently I became a TpT Seller! Woo! And I've actually sold some stuff (not just FREE STUFF!) which means I must be doing something kinda right!

Anyway this Blog Post is about the <not so secret> trick that TpT Sellers do! If you've downloaded anything "editable" then you would already know that most things done by TpTers are in PowerPoint!

Why? You ask! Here's why!

1. Its an easier format to work with visually.

2. Pictures don't decide to go where ever they want on the page... or off the page (I'm pointing the finger at you Microsoft Word!)

3. You can easily make text boxes for exactly where you want them.

4. You can layer upon layer things much easier in PowerPoint using the Selection Pane and moving items forwards and backwards.

5. You can use the Selection Sorter to preview your whole document in a more visually appealing way!

6. You can still Save As to PDF Format (same as Word).

7. All round, it's less clunky!

And now I'll show you why!

Click the play button below which is a link to a video I made (and in PowerPoint! But that's another Blog Post to come.)

So welcome to the world of TpT! I hope that you enjoy the video and hope it helps you if you're planning on becoming a TpT seller!
