Hello. I am just wondering how long it takes roughly to get an article up and live. When I submitted an my acticles an email told me I would have to wait a week. Is that for the whole procedure? or is that just for the first stage of the progress bar? My articles have been sitting and waiting for five days now and nothing has progressed. Will the next few steps happen quickly? Thanks
It really depends on them and how busy they are. I think after 4 days you are supposed to give them a friendly reminder if your article has yet to be reviewed.
And if you will send the reminder, be very friendly. Every time you have problems and are writing to them, be friendly. No such words, like: "why it takes so long to review my articles", "just accept it" etc. Never don't do that! I had my account suspended, because i submitted totally wrong article by mistake. I was so tired, i wasn't thinking clearly. Last time i logged in, i saw that account is suspended. Because of this article. I deleted article, sent them friendly letter with my apologies and answer was also friendly and my account was restored. So don't "play games" with Ezine.
Thanks you two. I did read on here that someone went off at them because they were taking so long. EZA just rejected all the articles. If I update the acticle that I have already submitted because I notice a mistake I hadn't noticed before will that article then be put to the bottom of the pile again? or will it keep its place? Also. If I have done something wrong they will reject it right? not just leave me hanging about.
Yes when you resubmitt your article it goes to the bottom of the pile BUT processing time is relatively less (compared to a fresh article). And yes, they won't keep you hanging = they will either reject or accept it All the best.
Terryd is right. It depends on how busy they are. When they say a week it usually means 2 weeks. When they say 3days, it usually means a week. LOL. I'm used to it.
If you are platinium (which i am), it usaully takes them about 2 days if that. By platinium I don't mean the paid option I just mean the one where you can submit unlimited articles. Chris
It depends on your membership. If you are Basic or Basic Plus, it might take up to a week before your articles get reviewed. Platinum takes about 2-3 days and Premium membership ($97/month), you might even get approved within few hours.
For a new member article acceptance time is around 7 to 10 days. As you move up in author expert levels your article may get approved in 3-5 days also.
Thanks everyone! I just checked and two of my articles have moved into stage three of the process. Two more and they'll be live! Once I get an article live I will know I have stuck to all the rules ok and I will strap a rocket pack to my back and get typing some more!!
