Any other Clickbank'ers have an opinion? I've toyed with Ezine Premium for a looonnng time, but can't get past the huge price. Anybody here have Premium and can recommend it (or not)?
I tried it for a month. You really do get published 1 or 2 days after submission. Those pumping out 50 articles a day and making thousands think it's great. If you only make a few hundred a month then it's not worth it.
I would just submit lots of articles and become premium that way... as long as you don't trip up any of their TOS, you should get in after being a basic for a while
The OP is not referring to 'platinum status' he is referring to their 'premium' service that you have to pay $97 per month for
I tried it as well cos I was all juiced at the thought of being able to choose when my articles got published, BUT it doesn't work like that. They do get published when you choose, but they ultimately appear in relation to everyone else's articles when you submitted it to begin with, so you're no closer to dominating the top of the heap than you are with platinum. For the 97 i'd say it's not worth it.
See, Its not very pricey if you chose three months plan, you will able to cut down your cost by far. I use it because, I do have nearly 300 articles per month. If you have converting landing pages and just need some fast traffic then its for you else use platinum it OK.
It would only be worth it if you can go beyond 15 articles per day or else you might not be able to recover your funds.
If Article Marketing is the ONLY thing you do, then yeah, it's worth it. But if you are using Ezine Articles just from time to time, then Platinum is enough.
I can't manage to get more than 50% clickthrough rate to my url. I guess a lot of visitors exit via adsense. For someone who has 500 artiles at EZA, it can be a good source of income if EZA offers adsense revenue sharing for premium members. But it doesn't. Its silghtly off topic. If i have to answer in one word, then Yes $97 is worth it.
If you like approval times of about 25 minutes, it's absolutely worth it! During the course of my article marketing challenge, it's been a valuable tool, not to mention the scheduled release option of your articles. Priceless
Totally agree. At first I was skeptical with using the service. Then I took the leap and signed up about a couple of weeks ago. After just two weeks of using the service, I've pretty much added this service onto my monthly budget. The best feature is how quickly they approve articles. One day I submitted an article at 2:15p.m., and it was approved 2:19p.m.! Now they don't approve all the time that fast, lol, but for the most part, you can get your articles approved within 30 minutes. If you stay consistent with submitting a good amount of articles daily (5+), the service is definitely worth it. BTW...sorry for sounding like an advertisement!
As a Premium member, I get articles approved quickly. Maybe not in minutes, but for $97? Heck, I can wait a day.
Was thinking if i should opt for a premium membership. I wait a maximum of 2-3 weeks just to get my articles approved.
You mean "Platinum," right? Not Premium. Premium is the $97/month service. Anybody get the impression that Ezine has no business sense at all? Yes, they are successful, but they are idiots, too. Who in the hell stair-steps their pricing from ZERO straight up to $97? I would take it up to $19.95 for added features. Then up to $$29.95 for even more features. And so on...
I'd have to disagree...I think it helps separate quality from junk. For those that are serious about submitting articles, $97 isn't expensive at all (for the benefits).
I think it depends on the success of your article marketing, if you are finding that you are simply impatient and struggle to wait until they get approved the best thing to do is to keep writing and submitting and moving forward. I was guilty of doing this when I started saying "hurry up already" but that time was wasted when I could have been writing and researching more. Personally I don't think it is worth the money, the scheduled published option is kinda neat and all but personally once I submit articles I move on and keep punching out more for a campaign, once they are submitted I forget about the " pending " status and move on
