No names when loading package

Question

I want to use mu own package. This is the procedure I take:

1) In Mathematica notebook I put the following code taken from code

BeginPackage["SOPackage`"];
AddTwo::usage = 
"AddTwo[\!\(\*StyleBox[\"a\", \"TI\"]\), \!\(\*StyleBox[\"b\", \"TI\
\"]\)] returns \!\(\*StyleBox[\"a\", \"TI\"]\)+\!\(\*StyleBox[\"b\", \
\"TI\"]\).";
DotTwo::usage = 
"DotTwo[\!\(\*StyleBox[\"a\", \"TI\"]\), \!\(\*StyleBox[\"b\", \"TI\
\"]\)] returns \!\(\*StyleBox[\"a\", \"TI\"]\)*\!\(\*StyleBox[\"b\", \
\"TI\"]\).";
AddTwo::argnum = 
"AddTwo was called with `1` arguments. It expected 2.";
DotTwo::argnum = 
"DotTwo was called with `1` arguments. It expected 2.";

Begin["`Private`"];

AddTwo[a_, b_] := a + b
AddTwo[args___] := (Message[AddTwo::argnum, Length[{args}]]; $Failed)
DotTwo[a_, b_] := a*b
DotTwo[args___] := (Message[DotTwo::argnum, Length[{args}]]; $Failed)

End[];
EndPackage[];

2) Go to SaveAs SOPackage.m

3) Put the file in $UserBaseDirectory/Applications

4) load the package with << SOPackage`

The problem is that nothing is loaded (I checked with Names["SOPackage`*"]). How to do this right?

I am using Mathematica 10.1 on Linux.

You quoted Names["SOPackages`*"], while it should've been Names["SOPackage`*"]. Could it be just a simple typo? — Leonid Shifrin, Aug 29 '15 at 18:17
So, does the correct command give you the function names all right? — Leonid Shifrin, Aug 29 '15 at 18:18
Ok, I missed the point. Given that you work within nb, link given by @ilian is most relevant. But, is there any reason you don't just use any text editor to save this contents to a file? It seems a much simpler way to me. — Leonid Shifrin, Aug 29 '15 at 18:25
Ok :) Thank You. When I write in Mathematica notebook I should select "Initialization Cell". I can also write everything from scratch in gedit and save with .m extension. — WoofDoggy, Aug 29 '15 at 18:30

All cells in a notebook saved as a .m file which is intended to be loaded with Get or Needs must be initialization cells.
