by Yum Yum Mama Team June 20, 2025

If you're a UK teacher with ready-made PowerPoints, worksheets, or revision guides saved to your desktop — you're sitting on potential income. More teachers than ever are monetising their hard work by selling educational resources online. But with so many platforms out there, where’s the best place to sell?

In this post, we’ll compare the top options for selling teaching resources in the UK, including free platforms, profit potential, and teacher-friendly commission rates.

Where Can I Sell My Teaching Resources?

Here are your top choices in the UK:

🟢 1. Resource Rack (UK-based, teacher-owned)

If you're looking for a homegrown alternative to TES with higher payouts, zero listing fees, and a supportive teacher community — this is your spot.

✅ No upfront cost
✅ Higher commission than TES
✅ Built for UK curriculum needs
✅ Easy onboarding
✅ Ideal for part-time or passive income

🔵 2. TES Resources

The biggest platform in the UK — but:

Charges up to 40% commission
Has a large marketplace (making it hard to stand out)
Requires tax form completion for international earnings

🟣 3. Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT)

Great if your resources are US-aligned. UK sellers are welcome, but:

Strongest for Common Core or IB curriculum
You’ll need to price in USD
Heavily saturated for generic content

🟠 4. Etsy

You can sell teaching resources on Etsy, but it’s better for:

Printable posters, decor, visual packs
Personalised classroom items
Niche bundles with high design value

Note: Etsy charges listing fees and takes ~5% per sale, plus payment processing fees.

Is It Worth Selling Resources Online?

Absolutely — if:

You already have materials that work
You’re consistent about uploading
You’re realistic about traffic (it takes time to grow!)

Some sellers make £50–£500/month with part-time effort. Others scale up into full passive-income businesses.

How to Start Selling Teaching Resources

Choose a platform (we recommend Resource Rack)
Pick 1–3 strong resources to upload
Include:
- Clear title & preview images
- Age group + curriculum match
- Editable formats (PowerPoint, Word, PDF)
Promote via Pinterest or your own email list

Final Thoughts

Don’t let your best teaching materials gather digital dust. Whether you're new to selling or looking to move away from high-fee platforms like TES, there are smarter, fairer options available — starting right here in the UK.
