About Mike (and why this approach is different)

Hi, I’m Mike.

My name is Mike Fuchigami and I’m the host of the SEOTpreneur YouTube community.

I’m also the guy behind this TPT keyword unicorn metaphor.

I’m a former Grade 8 teacher and the founder of SEOT Mindset.

Sometimes, when you’re overwhelmed, you need to just do the next right thing, one step at a time.

You don’t need more noise. You need better thinking, better data, and a process you can actually follow.

Why I built this

Life happened and I no longer teach in the classroom.

Instead of letting that setback define the ending, I’m trying to build something new and meaningful. One day at a time.

That’s why I care so much about:

  • Finding a way to get through the grind
  • Becoming better through struggle
  • Practical tools that help educators build better futures

What “SEOT” means in practice

SEOT is an approach to growth that’s built around:

  • STRATEGY: design a plan
  • EFFORT: over-deliver if needed
  • OPTIMIZE: observe what’s happening and improve
  • TINKER: run small experiments and learn fast

That mindset is exactly how we approach your TPT store. We don’t guess. We test, observe, optimize, and repeat.

Why the Bootcamp + PRO model works

Because it combines:

  • A step-by-step framework (Bootcamp)
  • Accountability and momentum (community + weekly homework / calls)
  • Tools that turn data into decisions (PRO)

Why me?

Here are 8 reasons

  1. I spend every day chatting with TPT Sellers and thinking about TPT SEO and TPT data.
  2. I’ve been a teacherpreneur for 6+ years and a TPT Seller micro-influencer for 3+ years.
  3. I’ve logged over 1,000+ hours on Zoom calls with TPT Sellers just like you.
  4. I work with the Top 100 sellers and TPT sellers who just made their first $100 (woo hoo!) – this helps me to learn more about TPT from different angles.
  5. I do TPT SEO experiments to stay current and to test theories. Sometimes, I’m right. Sometimes, I’m wrong. But this is about tinkering and learning.
  6. TPT search fundamentally changed in 2019 when they switched to Algolia as their search engine provider. I study the developer manual to understand how TPT search can and can’t work.
  7. I try to listen to TPT sellers and then I tinker and try to create high quality, affordable tools that solve pain points.
  8. TPT SEO is my full time job.
