questions about the criteria for premium downloads

[akgard]

So I've been away from my computer since April because of difficult end of pregnancy and sick baby....I get that there are all these changes but I can't find where it explains how we make our currently uploaded files that have been downloaded over 100 times premium.  Are we able to contact you and ask what we need to do to make the file better so that it can be premium?  I have several files that have met the download criteria but aren't labled premium.  How can I get that to happen?

Dear Akgard,

Welcome back and sorry to hear of your troubles.  Please see the following link about the loyalty program:

I get the loyalty stuff.  I want to know what I need to do to make my uploaded files premium.

Dear Akgard,

Did you see this at the link I provided:


    Share your BrillKids Lessons - Uploading Files to the Forum Library
     

Uploading Little Reader and Little Math files to the forum no longer earns you points right away.
   Each time someone downloads a file you made in the FREE section = +0 points*

However, once your file hits the 100th download mark, your file will go into a premium approval list for the moderators and administrators.

Once your file is approved into "premium status," it will automatically earn you a massive amount of points!

There are 2 premium status tiers: SILVER and GOLD.
   
PREMIUM SILVER
        
   
PREMIUM GOLD
   
+1,000 when approved
        
   
+2,000 when approved
   
+10 for each download
        
   
+20 for each download
   
-100 cost of download
        
   
-200 cost of download

This is what I was looking for!

Here you go Akgard http://forum.brillkids.com/little-reader/brillkids-criteria-for-approving-little-reader-files-into-premium-content-sectio/

Now, If I go and update my file so that it meets these requirements, how do I notify BrillKids that I updated it and want it to be reviewed for premium status?   I noticed in that thread that I should start a post discussing updates, but will that trigger a review or do I need to PM someone to say "hey, look what I did, does it now qualify?" 

Another question:I've noticed that some of the uploaded files tell you what is on them:i.e. audio, pronunciation, etc.  How do I do that for my files?

And how do I make it so my files are found when someone searches a topic?  For example, I made a bed time file that I can't seem to find if I search just using the main topics, I have to find it by my name.  How do I place that into a topic so people find it?
As a reminder, this is for older files that I already uploaded, as I have not uploaded any in quite awhile.

Dear Akgard,

Perhaps I have misunderstood  .  It seems that the link that nHockaday provided, explains the criteria that they look for once the download has made it to the premium approval list that they will then review.  In order for the download to make the premium approval list for review, it follows this process:

Uploading Little Reader and Little Math files to the forum no longer earns you points right away.
   Each time someone downloads a file you made in the FREE section = +0 points*

However, once your file hits the 100th download mark, your file will go into a premium approval list for the moderators and administrators.

Hey Akgard,

I found your Bed Time download by going to the LR Downloads page
http://forum.brillkids.com/index.php?action=downloads;overview=1

and in the search box, I selected search by title; typed in "bed time" and it came up with the results:

I can't answer your first question. I have no idea what they do about making them premium. I am not involved in that part.
Your files should have previews if you reupload them. You probably uploaded them before we started the preview feature.
You need to make sure you are searching in the files, not on the forum. Searching on the forum is for topics, not for downloads. To search in the files, simply go to the download section and you will see a different search box.

If your file was not accepted as a premium file and you edit it and re-upload it, it will automatically be put into our "Review tray" again, and will get reviewed in time.

If you want to know about a particular file, you can send a PM to Shuki to ask him!

[akgard]

thanks guys.  All that information helps.  I've got some editing that I know I need to make so I guess I'll start by finding out from Shuki if there are specifics to work on first!
nhockaday: I'm searching in the downloads.  when I go to english downloads from the little reader library tab I get a page that has things like time, religion, objects, animals, art, etc.  That's what I'm trying to figure out how to I classify my files so they are in the right place, rather than in objects.  For example, I have 2 files that are transportation related yet if you go to transportation they aren't there.  You have to go to objects to find them.  I want to get them in the transportation so when people search for transportation they find my files.  That's what I mean by getting them in the right topic.  I guess I really mean category.  Do you suggest re-uploading them?  Will that help?

[nhockaday]

You need to re-upload them if you want the previews to show up, but you don't need to re-upload them to change the categories they are listed in. Just choose to edit a file, and then you can move it wherever you want.

[akgard]

Okay.  That makes sense.  Do you know about how long it takes to get those uploads approved?  I re-uploaded my feelings category and now I don't see it in the main categories.
Also, when I use the search to find my files it isn't finding them.  Is that because the description that I put in when I uploaded originally wasn't kept when it moved to the new system?  I have some really good files that I don't think people are finding because none of them have descriptions.  There are some not so good ones that I'm glad that you can't find, but I'd like the good ones to be found!

[nhockaday]

I will approve it right now.

I don't think it matters what the description is. People like to see the previews, and they generally browse by categories. So go ahead re-upload them and put them in the right categories.

Did you re-upload feelings b/c I still don't see a preview for it?

[akgard]

I thought I did....maybe the computer shut down last night before it finished.  I will do it again right now.
