How I Made Over $600 In 1 Day While At Disney

How I made over $600 in 1 day while at Walt Disney World

In February, I went to Walt Disney World in Florida with my husband, cousin and his wife. We’ve been quite a few times together and enjoy getting to do all the fun kid stuff as adults. While at the Animal Kingdom, I had a day of sales where I made over $600 passively, not with tutoring!

I’m not promising you that you’re going to make this much money, but I am going to break down how I did it and give you some strategies to take away so you can do it too!

One of my biggest goals for you in your online tutoring business is to earn passive income.

Creating an online course is the best way to earn passive income while on vacation

The number one way I earned over $600 in one day was with online courses. Creating an online course is the best way to earn passive income while you’re on vacation. One of my sales was my signature course, Tutorpreneur Academy® and the other sale was an upsell for Tutorpreneur Promo Kit®. Combined, those two sales together brought in the bulk of the money I made that day. If you haven’t created an online course yet, you really should consider it. I encourage teachers I work with all the time to do this because once you do the hard work of creating the course, the course will sell and make money passively. Whether you are live launching or an evergreen model, you’ll make sales and all the sweat, blood and tears you put into creating your course will pay off.

When you start making sales while on vacation or sleeping it’s the best feeling ever that your hard work is paying off

When you make a sale on vacation or in your sleep, you’ll be so glad you worked so hard. It can seem daunting at first but the first step is getting your ideas down on paper and just starting. I can emphasize that enough - just start! You don’t have to trade all your time for dollars by tutoring or coaching people. One of the best ways to scale your online business is to create passive income streams that work for you while you’re busy living your life. I teach this process inside Tutorpreneur Academy®!

If you’re persistent and patient, you’ll start making passive sales in your online business

If you’re looking to get rich quickly, that’s not a great growth model. If you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and learn, you’ll start experiencing passive income. Persistence and patience are the two keys to success for your online business and when you put the steps in the right order, you’ll have massive growth.

The more time I put into my TPT store, the more money I make

The more time I put into my TPT store, the more income I make

The rest of the sales I made that day was from my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I’ve been making consistent sales in my TPT store for the last 1-2 years and the more time I put into my store, the more money I make. February is a big sales month for me with the products I have in my store, and this day was no exception.

Learn how to create resources that sell using skills you already have as a teacher

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own TPT store and haven’t yet, I’m going to encourage you to do it! I help teachers and tutors start their own TPT stores inside my course, From Zero To Cha-Ching. It’s one of the lowest priced courses on the market for how to create and sell your teaching resources. My students have had amazing success stories like Tara who changed a title on a product after watching my video on SEO and her product sold that day!

Passive sales go hand in hand with nurturing your email list on a weekly basis

Passive sales won’t come out of thin air if you’re not growing and nurturing your email list. You can read 5 reasons why teacher entrepreneurs need to start their email list here. I have a whole series on starting and growing your email list so be sure to read the 3 blog posts that come after that one.

I blog once a week and send my email list an email that goes hand in hand with the blog. I also turn my blog posts into YouTube videos and repurpose the same content to reach more people. Passive sales come from building your email list and giving your ideal customers what they need. In return for their email address, my ideal customer is getting lots of good tips and tricks every week. When I’m ready to make a sale, I get sales from those people who have been taken care of via email. Is it 100% of the people on my list who buy, NO, but it’s the standard 2-3% you can expect when you’re nurturing your email list.

Use social media to talk about your lead magnet daily

Talking about your lead magnet every day on social media is a great way to grow your email list and start connecting with the right people. One of the ways you can do this is by using Tutorpreneur Promo Kit®, this mini course has over 25 editable templates and lessons to take out the guesswork on what to post on social media. You’ll not only start growing your client list, but you’ll also finally have a way to talk about your products and services without sounding salesy. There’s even bonus lessons on creating Instagram Reels and TikTok videos! You can easily grow your email list, client list or even sell your TPT products using the templates in the course.

There you have it - the strategies I use to make passive income while on vacation at Disney when I wasn’t even thinking about my business. Start growing your email list and creating amazing weekly content to nurture them so you can have daily sales just like this.
