GREAT IDEA - JUST ONE QUESTION - IS THAT A ONE TIME PAYMENT -- OR IS IT AN ANNUAL PAYMENT?
THANKS
GG
Hi Gray,
Thank you for your comment and question.
The Platinum membership has an annual fee, however the renewal is not set-up for automatic billing. Naturally, we'll be in close contact throughout the year as well as will provide you with a renewal notice 30 days prior to your renewal date.
Best wishes,
Stephanie
Will the website show in real time the remaining memberships available?
Thanks!
Hi Jorge,
Thank you for your comment.
To answer your question, no, the website will not show how many memberships are remaining in real time, but I can say that we're pleased with the response so far.
Best,
Stephanie
Stephanie,
Sounds like this is a good opportunity to get even MORE quality jobs & greater exposure to the "big" guys & gals of voice over. Where does this leave the REST of us?
How will this affect PREMIUM member job leads? Will there be jobs given ONLY to new Platinum members? Or will they be offered jobs first, and then to PREMIUM members (if there are any left).
Don't get me wrong, Stef...I LOVE the idea of the 'niche' websites, and would LOVE to be a part of them. I'm just not ready to plunk down $2k this year, when my oil bill just doubled...to $445 a MONTH. But I digress....
The main question is: HOW WILL THIS AFFECT MY (premium members') BOTTOM LINE?
Thanks,
JC
Hi JC,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your question.
To clarify, these sites are not being used to direct traffic away from the Voices.com site but are meant to be more nets out in the water if you will to attract new clients who are looking for very specific kinds of voice over via searches conducted using Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Ask, etc. I hope I've answered your question and put you at ease.
To put it another way, Premium members will not be losing work to Platinum members at Voices.com. All of the work that Platinum members receive on the partner sites is exclusive to those sites and does not have anything to do with the main service at Voices.com.
Best wishes,
Stephanie
Sign me Up!! Little pricey, but I've been impressed with voices.com in the past. Let's see what happens...
What happens to the remainder of my Premium membership for this year if I join Platimum today? It sounds like the Platinum sort of overlaps with the Premium on the regular voices.com website, right? Is there any prorating of the Platimum payment or refund of the remainder of the Premium?
When are the new sites going live? Do you need a specific number of members in order for that to happen?
I know, questions, questions...
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for your comment and questions.
1. We will prorate memberships and refund you the difference for those already subscribed to Premium or Preferred memberships.
2. Profiles will start coming online tonight. The order will be Profiles first, the Ad network next and then public relations campaigns.
Best,
Stephanie
OK, finally! This is what I have been waiting for and wanting you guys to do. Did any of my past input lead to this??? Just wondering.
Sign me up. Ed "one of the big guys" Victor
Hi Stephanie,
Great idea! May I make a suggestion? To help us accept the price tag, show a breakdown - percent of $1995 - of the costs - to voices.com - for the enhanced services you list. You could do this in Vox Daily. I think it would really help. Good luck.
