Site in a Session · For TpT Sellers
You have five-star reviews from teachers whose classrooms you'll never see. Followers who genuinely love what you create. But when someone finishes downloading your resource and thinks "I want more from this person" — there's nowhere for them to go. This is how you fix that.
01 · The Real Problem
You've built something real. Not a side project — an actual body of work that teachers use in their classrooms. You know this because of the reviews. The specific ones. The ones from a teacher in Kentucky who tells you her students were engaged and genuinely excited. The ones from a fellow TpT seller in California who says her kids came up with great products and sold them in a school store.
You read those words and feel something — gratitude, pride, a kind of quiet satisfaction that doesn't happen often enough in this work. And then the conversation ends. They go back to their classroom. You go back to creating. The person who genuinely loved what you made has no way to find you outside of TpT, no way to follow you, no way to hear what you're working on next.
"This resource is perfect for students on a 9-week rotation. My students loved this, it was easy to follow, and they came up with some really great products that they created and sold in our school store."
This is the kind of review that stops you for a second. You want to reply. You want to ask how it went. You want to know what the kids sold. But there's no way to continue that conversation — because TpT wasn't built for that. Your website is.
You're not a faceless listing. You're an experienced educator with a real story, a real point of view, and work that genuinely helps people. But right now, the only version of you that exists online is a store page on a platform you don't own.
Here's what a website actually does: It doesn't replace your TpT store. It makes you the person worth buying from — not just the product worth downloading. It gives your followers somewhere to land, your buyers a way to keep finding you, and you a space that's entirely your own.
02 · Two Ways In
There's no complicated funnel here. No upsell pressure. Two products — one that answers the why, one that shows you the how. Start wherever makes sense for where you are right now.
Free
"What TpT Can't Give You"
The four things every teacher-seller needs that no marketplace ever will.
$27
"From Store to Home Base"
The complete guide — tools, honest costs, and a real build on video.
A note on sequencing: The free guide answers "why do I need this?" The $27 guide answers "how do I actually build it?" Most people who read the free guide come back for the full one the same day. But you don't have to — read the free one first and decide with full information.
03 · The Free Guide
Most people jump straight to "how do I build it?" But the educators who actually follow through — and feel good about what they built — start with a clear picture of what their site is supposed to do for them. That's exactly what this free guide covers.
Free Guide · Site in a Session
FREE — No Credit Card RequiredThe four things every teacher-seller needs that no marketplace ever will.
It tells your story.
Your TpT store shows your products. Your website shows you — who you are, what you've taught, why you make what you make. That context transforms a one-time buyer into a loyal follower. When someone understands the person behind the resource, they don't shop around. They come back specifically for you.
It gives your followers somewhere to land.
When you send a Note to your TpT followers, where do you send them? Probably a product. But what if you could invite them into a real conversation instead — a post, a free resource, an idea you've been sitting on? Your website is that landing pad. The place you send people when you want more than a transaction.
It keeps the conversation going.
A visitor who gives you their email is yours to keep — not TpT's, not Etsy's. Your email list is the one asset in your entire digital business that no platform can change, no algorithm can bury, and no fee increase can take away. Every name on it is someone who chose to hear from you.
It builds your presence on the open internet.
Every page you publish gives Google something to index. Over time, your name and your niche start appearing in search results — not just inside TpT's platform, but on the open internet. That's traffic that finds you without anyone's algorithm deciding you're worth showing today.
Download the free guide first. It answers the "why" completely — so by the time you look at any tools, you already know exactly what you're building and what it needs to do for your specific TpT business.
04 · The $27 Guide — Up Close
A PDF guide and a screen-recorded video walkthrough — built together so you can read the map and then watch it actually happen.
Part One · The PDF Guide
The PDF walks you through everything you need to know before you touch a single tool. The honest cost breakdown is on page one — no surprises, no fine print. Then each tool gets its own clear explanation: what it does, why these three specifically, and what your experience of using it will actually feel like. Written the way you'd explain it to a teacher friend, not a developer.
Part Two · The Video Walkthrough
The video is a complete, unedited screen recording of a real TpT seller building their own site using the exact same workflow — Manus AI prompts, GitHub sync, Vercel deployment, domain connection. No script, no second takes, no polished demo. You watch exactly what happened, including the moments that needed a small fix. Those moments are in there on purpose — because they show you that imperfect is normal and problems are solvable.
Bonus One · Included
Resend is the tool that powers your email opt-in directly inside your Manus-built site. The PDF walks you through connecting it so your email list starts growing the day your site goes live — not weeks later when you finally get around to it. Manus can integrate Resend directly, which means setup is faster than you'd expect.
Bonus Two · Included
Using a free tool called Forward Email combined with your Vercel domain DNS, you can create a professional email address like you@yourdomain.com that quietly forwards every message straight to your existing Gmail. Completely free. Takes about 10 minutes to set up. Looks entirely professional. The full step-by-step setup is included in the PDF.
One honest note about costs: GitHub and Vercel are genuinely free for what you're doing here. Manus AI offers free credits to get started — depending on your project, that may be enough to build your full site. If not, additional credits are available at a reasonable cost. Your domain name runs approximately $10–15 per year. No subscriptions. No ongoing platform fees. No surprises.
05 · The Tools You'll Use
You're not learning to code. You're learning a simple workflow that any educator can follow regardless of tech background. Here's how the pieces connect.
STEP 01
Manus AI
You describe who you are and what you need. Manus builds the full site — structure, content, and code — from that conversation. The reason we use Manus specifically: it connects directly to Vercel, eliminating a step that other AI tools currently can't do.
STEP 02
GitHub
Your generated site is stored and version-controlled. GitHub is your safety net and backup — and the bridge between your site being built and being live on the internet. Completely free.
STEP 03
Vercel
One connection deploys your site live — free hosting, a real URL, your custom domain, and your DNS all in one place. No monthly fee. No subscription. Your site stays up as long as you want it to.
| Tool | What It Does | Real Cost |
|---|---|---|
Manus AI Free credits to start |
Builds your entire website from a conversation — structure, content, and code | Free credits included. Additional credits available if your build needs more. Most sites can be built within the free tier. |
GitHub Completely Free |
Stores and version-controls your site — your backup and publishing bridge | Free. No limitations for what you're doing here. |
Vercel Free Plan Sufficient |
Deploys your site live, manages your domain and DNS | Free plan handles everything you need — hosting, SSL, domain management. |
Your Domain ~$10–15/year |
Your custom web address — purchased and managed through Vercel | The one real cost. Approximately $10–15 per year depending on the domain name you choose. |
Resend Free Tier Sufficient |
Powers the email capture form built into your site | Free tier handles email capture for a growing list. More than enough to start. |
Forward Email Completely Free |
Creates a professional email address that forwards to your Gmail | Free. Setup takes about 10 minutes using your Vercel DNS. |
06 · Who's Behind This
A Note From Ryan Owens · Edpreneur Academy
I've spent nearly 20 years in education — as a classroom teacher, a technology integration specialist, and now in school leadership. And somewhere along the way, I became a creator.
I've sold on TpT for years. I've built entrepreneurship resources that teachers in Kentucky and California and places I'll never visit use with their students. I've gotten the five-star reviews. I've felt that specific combination of gratitude and quiet frustration that comes from knowing your work is helping someone you'll never actually meet — and having no way to reach them.
For a long time, I didn't have a website for my TpT brand. Not because I didn't want one — because I didn't want to pay a designer, couldn't find the time to learn to code, and kept putting it off while I focused on creating new products. If the AI tools that exist right now had been available back then, I would have built a website years ago.
Then the tools caught up. I built my own site. Then I figured out how to teach other TpT sellers to build theirs. That's what this is — not a guru course, not a passive income promise. Just a real educator showing you exactly what I figured out, so you can stop being a speck and start having a space that's actually yours.
07 · What Happens From Here
Day 0 · Free
You Read the Guide and the Why Clicks
The free guide walks you through the four jobs your site does — story, landing pad, email capture, and SEO. By the end you understand exactly what you're building and why it matters for your TpT business specifically. No tools, no commitment — just clarity. Most people who read this come back for the $27 guide the same day.
Day 1 · $27
You Read the PDF and Watch the Build Happen
The PDF gives you the full picture — honest costs, the tools explained clearly, and a checklist so you're ready before you press play. Then you watch the video: a real site being built, unedited, start to live URL. By the end of the video most people go from "I think this might work" to "I need to do this today."
Day 2 · Your Turn
You Open Manus and Start Building
Armed with the framework and the checklist, you open Manus and begin. You follow the same steps you watched in the video. You connect Resend so your email capture is live from day one. You set up your professional email forwarding using Forward Email. And then you hit deploy.
Week 1+
You're No Longer a Speck. You're a Brand.
Your store is still running. Your passive income is still coming in. But now you have a home on the internet that's entirely yours — a place where your best buyers can find you, follow you, and hear what you're working on next. That's the long game. And it started with one focused afternoon.
08 · The Bottom Line
This is not built by a marketer who read about TpT. It's built by someone who has sold on TpT for years, gotten the reviews, felt the gap, and finally found the tools to close it. One PDF, one video, two bonuses, and a real educator showing you exactly what works — so you can build something that's yours without paying a designer, learning to code, or finding a free weekend you don't have.
Because this comes up every time.
