S2E6: A Pioneer In Digital Resource Creation - SLP Jenna Rayburn Kirk

The Speech Source

In our 6th episode of this season's "How I Built My Speech Path Business," Kim and Mary talk to Jenna Rayburn Kirk, a pioneer in the world of digital creation and blogging and owner of Speech Room News. Her story begins in graduate school, with a literacy intervention program that set the stage for her online venture. Working as an SLP in the schools for many years, Jenna has created hundreds of resources that can be accessed by other speech therapists. As she shares her experiences, you'll learn how crucial it is to keep publishing and nurturing connections within the SLP community—a powerful testament to the rapidly evolving digital landscape of resource sharing.
Jenna takes us through her process of creating resources that she personally needs for her clients, and then looking at the bigger picture on how that resource can be used for multiple kids by many different speech therapists. This process has helped her create an online presence which offers much needed resources for therapists all over the world through Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT). Jenna walks us through pricing resources, getting reviews, building a TPT store, using SEO for her business and website, and how her blog and other platforms generate income. She also shares her go to subscriptions she couldn't live without for all of her creating processes.
Jenna currently stays home with her 2 little boys (although she has taken over a maternity leave for a SLP at a school), and runs her Speech Room News business. This consists of continued digital resource and course creation, blogging, speaking engagements, professional development and more. She's focused on prioritizing her time with her family and is always open to new ideas and paths this field has to offer.
