I’m excited to announce a new upgrade level on JibberJobber.com. This comes after a number of people have told me that $9.95 is too much (I would not have paid it, as I didn’t have any money, but I think someone in my family would have paid it for me), but the free level just wasn’t doing enough. In fact, most of the feedback about the free vs. premium levels is that they really just need more contacts, and more target companies.
The Silver Level is a step up from the free level, with up to 1,000 contacts and 1,000 target companies. You can still get ALL premium features, and unlimited contacts and companies for just $9.95. Here’s a summary of each level (you can see a side-by-side comparison here):
Regular (Free): We designed this to be more powerful than a job search spreadsheet. You can track an unlimited number of job postings, whether you find them on Monster, through networking, etc. You can track up to 250 network contacts and 75 target companies, and post up to 10 log entries on each of those records. You get a lot of tools, some reports, and more. Note: when you first login you get 14 days of premium services for free.
Silver ($5/month): You get all of the Regular features PLUS an additional 750 network contacts and an additional 925 target companies. This is an intermediate level designed to give those who are more budget-challenged an opportunity to use JibberJobber more effectively in their immediate job search.
Premium ($9.95/month): The floodgates open and you get all kinds of cool stuff. My favorite premium feature is the action items e-mailed to me, so I don’t have to login to JibberJobber to see what I have coming up. No wait, my favorite premium feature is the ability to import/export my data, so I can keep all my LinkedIn contacts, Cardscan contacts (buying one soon), Outlook contacts on JibberJobber. No wait, my favorite premium feature is that I can use the Get Contact List to export my contacts based on a number of things, like tags or categories. No wait, my favorite premium feature is that there are no limits on number of records I put in, or number of log entries I have… you get the point, right? This level is optimal for those who are either serious about their job search, or not in a job search at all but very relationship-oriented (or career management oriented).
You want to know what may become the best premium feature yet? The Outlook plugin, which hopefully will be in beta in the next few weeks.
We are trying to fit your budget – for $0 you get value. For $5/month you get more value. For $9.95 a month you get a bunch more value. Cool?
Good call, Jason!
