21) Check onto the site on the hour every hour to see how many people have downloaded your work.
22) start an emotional rollercoaster between dispair that no one will appreciate you, elation that everyone loves your work, dispair that no one said thank you, elation that finally you got a comment.
23) Continue process until you reach the 30 free printables per day! yipppeeee
24) ASk on the forum why your accoutn says 0 free downloads when you haven �t used any yet.

I �ve been staring and thinking and wrecking my brain to come up with at least one thing that you might have missed ... and couldn �t. That �s it. You �ve said it all. And in the correct order.

This is really funny and true!! I �m new in the site and I �ve put a lot of effort in uploading my works and anxiously waited to get those 30 points. I had some doubts even though I had read the FAQ �s. However, yesterday I saw several comments on the message board, (some a little rude), and I found out people steal other �s work and pretend its theirs! And still have the courage to post messages saying how can moderators and people in the site report her (I think) works when almost the whole site has reported her!... Quite scary!!...lol
