EzineArticles Account Upgrade?

[Oscar D]

I have submitted 10 articles to Ezine Articles and now I have the opportunity to ask for an account upgrade.

What reasons must I use to guarantee my approval for a Platinum account?

Hi Oscar,

I'm pretty sure they upgrade you automatically if everything went well with the initial 'x' number of submissions. At least that's the way it used to work. I wasn't aware you had to apply to be upgraded.

Thanks, but I pushed the upgrade account and I received a message where I have to submit points why I should be upgraded.

[sentient]

Yeah, they do ask you to give a reason. I've only done it once, so I'm not an expert, but it worked - all I put was something along the lines of I love writing, and I enjoy researching topics that will help people out on certain subjects. I point out that my first 10 articles were accepted, some with expert status and have already achieved x amount of views, and that I would welcome the opportunity to combine my enjoyment of writing with providing a useful services for others.

I don't know how closely they consider it (I see people on there with 60 articles, but still not Platinum), but it worked for me.

[Oscar D]

Thanks, that helps - I will try and write reasons from the heart.

I don't think your answer has much to do with being upgraded - as long as none of your first 10 submissions were rejected you shouldn't have a problem. I think I said something similar to sentient though.

Thanks, I have just sent the message, I hope it works

I have been waiting to get my articles updated as well.
Upgrade member cam have their articles accepted at a much faster rate

If you've screwed up any of the first 10 submissions, it doesn't matter, they'll make you Basic PLUS. You need to get it 'perfect' nowadays to get Platinum after the first 10 submissions.

Has anyone upgraded to the $97 Premium Membership with the "Front of Queue" benefit and 'Scheduled Release Date' feature?

I'm wondering if it's worth it?

We use this service.

I think it will depend on how many articles you submit and if you like the wait of the 'standard' service. We signed for 3 months and we have just renewed for another.

For us the good elements are that you can upload numerous articles and schedule their release and your articles are approved very, very quickly.

If I were only submitting a few articles per week, I don't think I would bother. We will test for another three months and make a final decision after that.

Cheers

JJ

I did screw up one of the submissions with too many keywords and eventually I just deleted the article. After taking your guys suggestions I submitted my request and I was upgraded to Basic PLUS.

Is this a good thing?

[Nathan Hangen]

I've been on Basic Plus for 2 cycles now, the 2nd time they did it automatically. I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you can submit articles, you are fine.

Whats the maximum amount of articles you can submit to EZA for Free - without getting a paid account

...10 ? 20? 20+ ?

[HappyFeet]

To upgrade you dont need to give fabulous reasons.

The thing is article directories need you as much as you need them.
It is a symbiotic relationship.

Just say you write good articles and you have varied interests.
You promise to write more good quality articles for them.

There isn't a maximum number. After you submit your first 10, you will be reviewed to see if your articles are up to the required standard - if so you get Platinum status which allows you to submit as many articles as you like.

If you don't get Platinum status, I think you can submit another 10 articles, get your status reviewed again, and so on.
