Exciting News for Our Contributor Community: Faster Product Approvals Are Here!
Hey there, wonderful contributors! We know you’ve been eager for a quicker way to get your products approved, and guess what? We’ve heard you loud and clear! Say hello to our brand-new Express Product Approvals program – it’s all about getting your awesome creations out there faster. We’re super excited about this, and we think you’re going to love how much smoother and speedier the whole approval process is going to be. Let’s dive into what this means for you and how it’s going to make your experience even better!
What it is
The Express Product Approvals Program is specifically designed to expedite the review of products submitted by qualified contributors. This initiative is a direct response to the valuable feedback we have received regarding the need for a more efficient approval timeline.
Under this new program, products submitted by contributors who meet certain eligibility criteria will be given priority in our review queue. This prioritization aims to significantly reduce the approval time, targeting a swift turnaround of 24-48 hours. The program not only reflects our commitment to efficiency but also acknowledges the quality and reliability demonstrated by our seasoned contributors.
How to Qualify
To be eligible for the Express Product Approvals Program, contributors must meet specific standards that demonstrate their commitment to excellence and adherence to our guidelines. The primary criteria for qualification is the successful manual review and approval of at least ten products. These products should be of such quality that they require no modifications or edits at the time of submission.
Navigating Common Pitfalls in Product Submissions
As you aim to qualify for the Express Product Approvals Program, awareness and avoidance of frequent submission errors are crucial. Addressing these common issues proactively is important to enhance the chances of your ten products successfully passing our audit. Please be mindful of the following areas:
- Selecting Subjects & Grade Levels Accurately: Choose 1-3 relevant subjects and grade levels for each product. Avoid over-categorizing; use the “not grade specific” option for broader applicability of Grades.
- Terms & Conditions: Extra terms within your product are not allowed, as all Teach Simple products adhere to a standard license. Eliminate these or use our provided template for consistency.
- Optimizing Images: Do not use the same image as a thumbnail and feature images. For multi-page products, include several images to represent the content effectively.
- Correctly Identifying Product ‘Type’: Ensure your product is correctly labeled – for instance, a worksheet should not be misclassified as an activity. Accurate labeling aids in the appropriate categorization and review process.
Proactive Feedback for Near-Qualifiers
Many contributors are on the verge of qualifying for this program but may miss minor details. As we roll out express product reviews, you may receive feedback emails from us pinpointing specific areas for improvement.
How to Apply
There is no need to apply. The review process will be manually done by our team and automatically applied to your account if you meet the criteria.
The Bottom Line
Our goal is to streamline the review process. By submitting products that require no modifications, you help us achieve this efficiency. In return, we aim to expedite the approval of your products, moving them to the front of the queue.
