1. We are practicing teachers
Hi! We’re Rozz and Simon. Both of us are experienced teachers with 20 years of teaching behind us (I know we look way too young π) We started Mash.ie because we knew there were teachers out there with brilliant plans, resources and ideas and we wanted to offer a platform to share them. We’re interested in helping teachers to create and share the best resources they can and helping them reach as high an audience as possible. We both love our jobs and we’re always trying to learn new ways to help our pupils learn. We hope we bring our passion from the classroom to our business. π§‘
2. We pay the highest rates to sellers
We believe if you create a resource, you should get paid for it. We give a commission of 70% for all sellers, whether starting off or whether they’re an established Masher. We use the 30% to try and make Mash the best experience possible. We pay for premium hosting to make sure the site runs quickly. We pay developers to make sure any bugs and fixed quickly. We promote your products to make sure you get more sales. We pay for a premium support desk to make sure all issues are resolved. You get the idea! πΆ
3. We invest in teachers
We don’t see Mash as any different to teachers that write textbooks for book companies; we believe teachers should be paid for doingΒ work outside of their teaching. We believe Mash sellers are the most creative teachers on the planet. We work for you and we invest our money into things that make your lives easier. Weβre approachable and open to any ideas. π‘
4. We're personal
We think it’s important to be personal. That’s why we personally reply to any questions, issues or comments. We love to get to know our Mashers and if there are any problems, we want to help make them better. π€
5. We promote education
We have over 30,000 members and we want to make sure that we give all of them useful materials to help with teaching. We have a YouTube channel where we give hints and tips for the classroom and we are all over social media sharing good ideas and practice. π
6. We promote You!
If you are selling or sharing your resources on Mash, we want to let the world know about it! We have lots of ways for our teacher sellers to do this. You can write a blog post directly from your Dashboard where you can tell us all about a teaching idea where you can promote one or more of your products. We’ll generally reshare any product you promote online if you tag us. We also have a private group on Facebook for Sellers where we give loads of ideas to help you in your stores. π
7. We Get Teachers!
We are teachers. We get teachers! π¨πΌβπ«π©π»βπ«
