More specifically, do you like to make things for homeschoolers?
By things I mean curriculum, ebooks, games, copywork, educational resources, or anything that makes a child’s brain go “Vroom, vroom.”
If you like to make homeschool products or any type of educational products and want to sell them online, there are some online marketplaces you might want to take advantage of. These sites can help you get your creations out to a wider market and, typically, all they ask for in return is a percentage of the royalties, usually less than 50%. They do a lot of the footwork for you by creating a site, paying for the web hosting, and having an online shopping cart. You set up your profile, post your products with descriptions, and occasionally attend to customer needs. You both work on the marketing aspect of your business with things like sales and social media.
Let me share with you some sites that can help you make money online with your creations.

Amazon
If you’re looking for a really big marketplace, you might want to use Amazon. They offer three services that will help you get your products out to the world:
- Amazon Services: Individuals and businesses can list products on the Amazon site with this service.
- Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP): If you want your ebook to be sold on Amazon in a Kindle-friendly format, you can go to KDP.
Barnes and Noble
Want to publish your ebook to the NOOK? Barnes and Noble offers a service called NOOK Press that can help you get your digital book in their NOOK Book Store.
Teachers Pay Teachers
If you’re looking for a well-established online marketplace for selling educational products, you might want to look at Teachers Pay Teachers. They’ve been in business since 2006. Like Teachers Notebook, they cater to both homeschoolers and teachers.
I hope these sites help you get your homeschool products out on the market so you can start making money for your family today.
