Everything we give away, in one place

A printable lesson, twenty free ebooks, a one-page budget, a seller fee calculator and free tutorials. Each one stands on its own. Where we sell a next step, we say so and give the price.

Free ebooks and lessons are delivered by our Payhip store, which asks for an email address so it can send you the file. The budget PDF and the calculator need nothing.

For teachers and parents

Ages 11-14
