My Thoughts On EZAs Premium Account For All Article Marketers

[Jakehyten]

Ill tell you this. When I first heard EZA was coming out with a premium account for 97 bucks a month i thought it was WAY too expensive.

I am already a platinum author in multiple accounts and at least for me my articles got approved in 1 or 2 days max anyways. Although i have noticed that has been a little slower lately. Anyone else notice this?

Well anyways, for certain reasons I needed to open a new account and was dreading that BASIC approve rate. What is it like a week to get an article approved! So instead I did what i thought i would never do and signed up for the 97 premium account.

All i can say is WOW! Contrary to what i originally thought i wont be canceling and going back to a regular member.

I submit a LOT of articles to eza (about 5 to 15 a day) and to be able to get all of them approved almost immediately (within hours) is pretty nice. The customer service is also great. I usually get a response in 1 hour, although i dont write them much anyways.

Just wanted to give you my 2 cents on the premium membership cause i know some people wonder about the steep price and what the advantages are.

[Kelvin Nikkel]

WOW 5 - 15 articles per day???

I guess I should be putting more time into article marketing. lol

I also have a Platinum account and like the shorter approval rates. If I can get off my butt and start writing more maybe I will check out that paid membership there.

Thanks for the tip.

I agree that it makes a lot of sense to do this. If you are serious about article marketing there are some real advantages to going ahead with the $97 per month club.

So did I. I thought if they made it $37 or something, they might sell 10 or 12 times as many. I may be wrong, of course.

What I (still) have difficulty understanding is the great advantage, though.

If you write lots and lots of articles and submit them regularly, why is it an advantage to have a shorter lead-in time?

If you and I both write and submit 5 acceptable/publishable articles per day, and yours go live in one hour each, and mine take 2 weeks each, then after 2 weeks we're still both getting an average of 35 articles per week published there, each and every week, aren't we? What are you getting that I'm not getting that's worth $97 per month?

[Jakehyten]

thats a good argument. Lets assume with your scenario it takes yours 2 weeks to get approved then i get first dips on ranking and a time sensitive niche if thats the case. If we both hear about a niche and want to target it and my gets approved in 1 hour and yours takes a week then we know who will probably get the traffic agree? I may be wrong?

[Lindsay Brynn]

I agree with Alexa on this. The niches I'm in aren't really time sensitive though. I think waiting the 1-2 days instead of hours and saving $97 per month is just a good idea for me anyway.

yeah in that case i agree.

[promo_guy]

Sorry for the noob question but does it really take 2 weeks to get an article approved these days? Last time I submitted an article it was almost 2 years ago lol, but I think it only took a few days back then.

If you can afford it and make that $97 back easily each month, i'd say it's worth it.

Man, Chris Knight must be making money hand over fist laughing at the economic crisis while supping crystal on his riverboat gambling trips (whatever that means)

Anyway, nice to hear of your experience Jake. Btw, personal question here, are you making that $97 back each month with all your articles? (just curious)

I am with you on this one Alexa... having said that I wrote 5 articles yesterday and I woke up this morning and they all got accepted which is in way less that 24 hrs and I dont pay $97 a month.

Not really (there was a bit of a glitch recently, I think, and a few were uncharacteristically slow) ... I was exaggerating to try to make the point that if you maintain a steady enough flow of articles, the lead-in time isn't actually too relevant, perhaps, for most people? I do see that it could be in a particularly time-sensitive niche, though.

It's very close to the 7 day period right now on a free account. Then you have to consider the fact that you might have to make a change to your submission, in which case you then have to wait longer than 7 days. So 2 weeks might be about right

Yes and much much more. But realistically its not because im a premium member. I think it would be hard for anyone with a little knowledge and following the basics to have 5 to 15 pieces of content going out and not make money. So to answer your question yes i do but it probably has little or nothing to do with being a premium member! lol

[Marhelper]

Just get 10 articles approved without being rejected and you stand a good chance of getting Platinum status. Then you get articles approved in 24 - 48 hours (free of charge).

You have to stop thinking about only the approval time for the membership. There are other advantages that you may be unaware of that give me the power to crush anyone I want to in any niche if they don't have the membership. It is not obvious to everyone because they are too busy saying that they get there articles approved in the same time it may take you, they only see it from one side.

[promo_guy]

Care to elaborate phoenix?

[Allen Graves]

Not everone has those needs, Phoenix. Those that don't are going to balk no matter what advantages it has for others.

Well for starters, if you are a competitior of mine for a particular niche and you don't have the membership, or if you don't do fast linkbuilding to help you out I can knock you off the just published page in a matter of a few hours by simply publishing a large amount of articles and timing their release.

We all know that your articles are only on that page for a day or two in the first place. Imagine if it were just for an hour or two, I know this won't apply to all people because they may use other methods to drive traffic.

Phoenix there is also another technique that being a member allows you to use having to do with the timed submissions. I know a number of marketers that use it to get extra traffic.

[LegitBlogger]

Yes, the premium membership is wonderful but I won't recommend
it for anyone who doesn't do HUGE daily submissions. As for me, I
make it a habit to consistently submit 30 to70+ articles daily and
all get approved, usually within hours! But if you only submit a few
articles daily or even weekly, then a premium membership won't
be worth your while.

And if you want to get the premium subscription, it's best to pay for
3 months straight, or even yearly, as it then becomes $67 or even
$47 per month,

[pheonix44]

70 articles a day, holy crap. I do about 20 articles a day on EZA so the membership works for me.

[actionplanbiz]

i am new to all this article marketing stuff. and going premium for $97 to me is very expensive.

so my question is...
how much would you say an average article marketer make per article?

[RebeccaL]

I have to wonder if their slow approval time lately (1 week+ at times) is a subtle tactic to get more people to sign up for the premium account... hmmm..

I also was thinking that. And how every now and again, we get this slower process (until we get fed up, and get the Premium Account?)

Also, totally agree with Alexa. Unless it's a time-sensitive niche, a Premium Account holder's articles will get approved, say, a week before mine. But thereafter, all other things being equal, we will be having the same number of articles published per day; the Premium Account holder will just be a week's worth of articles "ahead".

Of course, there may be other benefits (eg, the ones Pheonix just mentioned), but funnily, the memebership is never sold on those so-called other benefits.

[Amfire]

Yeah, Its all about marketing.

Many people work hard to increase EZA Adsense income, Some of them are submitting even 30+ articles a day,

Now they are paying EZA Editorial staff and Server Maintenance fee as well,

Soon EZA may move join other networks as well so that competition can knock off aritcles with Discounted link of the produduct we are promoting.

I see it coming!!! Has it already started with Adwords placement targetting?

No! above points are not true, Keep submitting articles to EZA
