97 bucks a Month? What are the Benefits Of The Premium Account?

I haven't used Ezine articles in a while now- because of how long you had to wait before your article gets approved. Maybe Someone here has used the premium account, Would love to Know More about it and why it's different from the free account.

Thanks

What are the benefits of having a premium account?

Do your articles get approved the same day or something?

Well...

With Premium Membership:

SPEED: Your articles will go the front of the line to be reviewed before non-premium level member article submissions.
SPEED: Your article submissions will be reviewed by a senior level member of our Editorial team.
SPEED: Your email questions to our Member Support ticket center will go to the front of the queue for priority response.
CONTROL: Submit your articles at one time and choose when each will be published with our Scheduled Release feature.
INTELLIGENCE: Access up to the top 30 keyword/keyphrase traffic search terms used to find your articles.
CONVENIENCE: Store up to 12 different resource boxes to attach to your articles.

Important Notes About Premium Membership:

Being a Premium member does not guarantee your articles will be accepted.
All article submissions must still meet our editorial guidelines.
You will not receive editorial favor of any kind.
We reserve the right to deny Premium service to any member at any time for any reason.
Being a Premium member will not impact or help your account level upgrades (Basic, Basic Plus or Platinum). The Platinum unlimited article submission level is earned with a history of trust over time and can never be bought.

I think that it could be really benificial, but it is $97 per month.
If you have a friend on here or near you go in halves and share the log in?

Hope that can clear it up a bit.

Looks Promising but I think I can still do fine with the free account.Besides, I don't do much of Article Writing.

I'd rather stick to Traffic Geyser- which is the same price as the Ezine articles premium account.

Why is getting approved quickly so important?
If you publish articles consistently it should not matter so much.

Not a rhetorical question, I really wonder why so many people consider it crucial for their article marketing success?

If you are unable to add $ 3.20 a day by having the account, then it would not be for you.

Are you a premium member! It seems but was not very clear from what you wrote. If so would you please elaborate on the benefits you have received!

What you said is true but what I wanted know was a comment from somebody who has been inside and seen that.

Thanks.

I've only published about 10+ EZA but mine are getting approved within a day now, if not the same day.

That's plenty quick enough for me. At first it took almost a week or more.

Would you recommend it?

I want it but I'm going to get it for free. Join the HAHD challenge - they are giving some accounts away as prizes.

Only a hundred articles in a hundred days. No biggie.

Here's the thing - if you can't get through that challenge, the account probably won't be of massive benefit to you IMO. If you are averaging at least one article a day it just might be.

I got an email one day that I had just completed the HAHD challenge and I could download my certificate. I didn't even know there was a 100 articles in 100 day challenge. I just thought that was what article marketers do. LOL

I have used the premium service though and still do. When I write my articles in the morning they are approved in about 5 minutes and start getting me traffic. Is it worth $97? I would say for the 6 months that I have used it I have got a lot out of it but will probably stop once the 2 months I have left runs out.

It helped me get up to speed on article writing fairly quick by gauging the results I would get from articles. Ezine still gives me my best traffic from a directory and a few new articles in the morning can give me 100 targeted visits to a website to test a squeeze page or product conversion. That's $3 a day for the traffic if you use it that way.

You can get it for free sure but I really like to make quick adjustments and analysis because that is how I learn so for most people I would say it is not worth $97 per month but for me it has served a purpose.

Thanks

I don't use it. I'm a platinum level author and I find most of my articles are approved within 48 hours. I guess it depends how impatient you are! I am learning patience finally!

I haven't used it, but like many here I've considered it. There are two features that seem to me like they could make it worth the money. One is the scheduling feature, which several people have mentioned.

The other is statistics. It is my understanding that premium members have access to more statistics and get others more quickly than free members. This alone could make it worth the price IMHO.

I don't understand how the scheduling feature would help? What are the advantages to it?

You can get more traffic straight from the directory if your articles are posted after Ezine shuts down for the day. Drip feed your articles after hours and on the weekend and you can dominate the most recent article page.

No, I don't think it's worth it. But that's just me. But if you are going to be doing article marketing all the time, it's worth it, most likely.

I did it for the first month so that my articles would be approved quickly and so that I could get to platinum level as soon as possible. I was surprised that some of my articles were approved in less than one hour. When my income justifies it, I will it again. They have a package deal that brings the price down substantially - I think if you pay annually, it brings the price down to $48 per month or so.

Thanks

Yes because approval is a couple of hours or less which is so much easier to work with than waiting days to get approved.

I actually considered upgrading a few months ago, but then I realised I wasn't making enough per month from IM to justify it. If you are submitting 50+ articles there each month, then yeah I guess it's useful. I still don't think it's worth $97 though, but maybe that's just me.

If EZA is a big part of your article marketing strategy, being able to schedule when your articles go live would be very useful if you submit a lot. Particularly as it seems the 'most viewed' and 'most published' sections are being manipulated more and more. Again though, I think $97 is too high - but maybe their thinking is that only those that are serious about their articles will upgrade, I don't know.

I Agree with you. $97 is a bit on the high side. If perhaps they added features that could help you get more views like a featured article area or instead of the adding adsense ads to articles, related "premium" articles are displayed, etc, it would be a bit nicer.

However,as Alexa Rightly said, It Depends on the Nature Of Your Business.

BTW, Ezinearticles has a google pagerank of 6 but so does GoArticles so no big difference between the two sites- google spiders GoArticles pretty much at the same rate with Ezine Articles.

I pay quarterly, and it comes to about $65/month. To me, it is something that makes me money, so I don't mind paying. I get my money back many times over. The scheduling feature is really what I use it for, though the speed is a nice bonus.

If you have the money, being a premium member would be worth every penny. But for a tight budget, free basic membership should do.. What matters most is that your articles get accepted for traffic and link building purposes.

I have stuck to the free account with ezine and find during the week most of my articles are live within 48 hours and some times they are live on the same day I submit them. I am glad to see that the rules for the free account also apply to premium member as well.

Thanks

HI. I was a premium member - its great cos you get your articles approved quickly within 1 day if not hours. If you are an article writer who wants to get articles out every day then go for it. I paid then didn't do as many articles as I should have as busy with other things - but will sign up again...

I just listened to a playback of the teleseminar replay:

#HAHD Kickoff Teleseminar Replay

Essentially, if you are doing a launch and you want to just preload a campaign and have articles release on a regular schedule, this can be possibly the best benefit.

If you have a couple of hours to listen there is some good tidbits here and there.

For instance, I started dropping my articles on my blog first - but if your name is not associated with those articles on your blog they will see it that you are submitting someone elses content and you may not get approved.

Some other tasty morsels. Worth a listen if you are going to be submitting to them.

I was surprised with some of the stuff you still can do without getting in trouble with them.
