Rather disappointed... : ī(

Hi, dear Teachers! How is everything? First of all, I īd like to say that I think this website is Paradise for us, teachers  It īs far the best ESL website on the internet. Now, the reason why I am posting... I have been uploading some worksheets these days, but I havenīt received almost any points  ... I know that the fact of getting points depends on the quantity of people who download our worksheets, but I consider that my contributions are not soooo bad as not to be downloaded by anyone. Am I right? I need your opinion! Maybe I īm doing things wrong... Could you help me, please? I don īt have a lot of experience here. In fact, this is my first post.
Thanks in advance for your help! Kisses from Argentina!

I just had a look at your materials, and I think you improve all the time.
You are already a premium member and can download 30 free new printables
a day!
It took a while for me to earn points too.
All good things take time. You just have to keep making fine materials and have patience.
I think you īre doing just fine.
No reason to be disappointed at all.
All the best

I just looked at your material as well and I agree with Libertybelle, your worksheets are nice and are improving all the time and you have your 30 points. Have a look at some of the popular worksheets and learn from them, compare mpotb`s adjective worksheet from today with yours and you`ll notice there is alot more content. Study the popular worksheets, and learn. But also develop ideas and worksheets that you like, most importantly, and feel good about your work. For me, of course I love people downloading my work and getting lovely comments but mostly I love having an idea and seeing it come to life! It`s FUN!! Other than that, be patient! : ) |

It depends on many things. Your material may be good but maybe you donīt post it at the right time. For example, I posted a worksheet I made for St Valentine which, from my points of view was not good (just a few poems and pictures I collected and rearranged with photos) but many people downloaded it in one day just because I posted it at the right time.
Moreover, it also depends on the number of member friends you have. I have seen awful materials or just copies of other worksheets which have been downloaded hundreds of times and many goos materials that have no downloads at all.
Best wishes
