I've placed several orders through this platform and every time the quality is simply so low. Grammar mistakes, wrong vocabulary, wrong and inaccurate information. Zero research.
Writers are lazy, provide completely inaccurate information and clearly English is not their native language. Wasted money. Awful experience. Don't waste your money on this platform.

Can't call those writers
September 15, 2020

The company claims that all their writers are native english speakers. But that't totally wrong. I have made several article requests in it and all of the articles came rubbish. A 5th grade boy will write better than their so called native speaking writers.

Thank you for your feedback! Textbroker allows any author who is legally able to work in the United States to write on our site. We then rate each author according to their writing skills and abilities. In this case, you chose to place orders at the 2-star level, which is our lowest quality level. We did advise you about the low quality of content that you would receive via email and recommended that you consider placing at a higher quality level prior to activating your order. In the future, we would strongly recommend that you review our quality level information before placing orders on our site. Information about our quality levels can be found in our client FAQ: https://www.textbroker.com/faq/client

Thank you for making my life easier

I'm new to Textbroker however in the time that I have made use of the services I have always been more than satisfied with the results. It saves me time, energy and peace of mind knowing someone else can type my content.

I'm not sure what this company wants from me. I chose to get content written for m to make my life easier. I submitted an order with instructions and it has been declined at least 7 times. I then changed what they advised me to change, without success. It's now been a week without the job even being started. I called last week and left a message for a rep to call and walk me through exactly what they are looking for. No call back. I've emailed for them to explain what I need to do, and no response. I then researched to see if this is legit, and from what I read, it is. (At least for a consumer; I feel bad for the content writers). I'm at a point where I'm asking myself if I should cancel and write the content myself. I am about to give up. Today is the day.

I was asked to write something in transparent.ai. The platform wouldn't save my certificate (I received an error message), so I copied and pasted it into a google document. When I asked about submitting the article, I was told that I needed to completely rewrite the content! All of this for a $5 article and because of a glitch in the platform they use. I refuse to rewrite 500 words all because one of their tools isn't working. It's not worth writing for textbroker since they provide their writers with 0 support.

Low price-per-word rates and nearly impossible to get a 5-star author account so you get stuck doing 2 cents per word orders with very demanding and specific formatting and style requirements.

They Steal from Writers
November 7, 2021

This site violates the laws regarding theft of wages. They come up with bogus rules that make contractors employees. Like what happened with Uber, someone needs to sue them.

That's nice, Michael. I'm glad you're happy with what you're making on Textbroker. Personally, I make more elsewhere, so I really don't need the little lecture about being serious as a writer. Cheers.

Scumbags and conartists!!!!
September 27, 2016

Terrible compensation, I am an English professor, submitted a written sample of my work, and these jokers rated me two out of five stars. Blatant misrepresentation of qualified editors. Run, don't walk away.

I appreciate the way one can search and find writers of different quality to suit different content needs we have for ourselves or our clients.
The order process is simple and effective.
I wish there would be an automatic notification of writers for new direct or team orders. Many authors don't log into TB every day and if you are on a deadline you need to manually message them so they check their account.

Hi Florian! Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions! Currently, authors do receive email notifications when they receive a Direct Order. I will put in the suggestion that we also have this happen for Team Orders in the future!

As far as the service offered, textbroker is hands down the best option. That's not to say it's not without bugs. Basically publishers list articles they'd like written, then writers claim the articles they'd like to write.

This means that articles may go unwritten. Additionally you've got to hand approve each and every article you order, and some authors do seem to write right into the text box on the Textbroker page, therefor failing to use the spelling and grammar checking tools provided by Microsoft Word.

Overall though, Textbroker.com is a great option for article-writing on the cheap.

It's also a great place to get started working at home as a writer. You will NOT make millions, but you'll get experience, and begin making a name for yourself, building that portfolio, etc.

My experience with TextBroker has been pretty good. Content quality is solid for the price. But... order delivery takes too long and revisions take even longer. It's like the writers don't care when you send them a revision. Take their sweet time to do it. I've moved on to other services like Low Price Articles. A little cheaper than TextBroker and faster too. Article quality is definitely good enough for my blog posts and landing pages. I order roughly 200 articles per month from them and only send 2 or 3 back for revisions. Not bad. If TextBroker would speed things up and lower their prices a tad, I might try them again.

Still my go to after all these years
October 11, 2017

Ive been using Textbroker for probably 5 or more years now, and I still find it to be one of the best services out there. And the prices are very competitive compared to what a freelancer would cost. Id highly recommend the service.

Thanks for donating to help impoverished children in Africa

Beer money?
May 23, 2014

Beer money? Where the hell are you guys drinking? I have been a writer for TextBroker for two and a half years. I currently average $500 while writing for less than 30 hours per week. Sometimes the work for open orders can be lacking, but I have developed regular daily clients and belong to six extremely active teams - so it doesn't matter how much work is available in the open queue.

If you're not serious about being a freelance writing on the site, you won't make much money. I have long since quit my regular job as I make far more now on TextBroker than I did before. If I had a problem with a client, the TextBroker agents responded to me in less than an hour.

I do agree that the editorial staff isn't consistent with reviews, but that's what happens when you have several people reviewing work each with different knowledge and understanding of grammar. As long as you're consistent in your abilities and can write AP style without difficulty, then you don't have much to worry about.

If you have great customer service skills, listen to what the editors suggest, you'll make money. Textbroker is a very dynamic content provider to work for. I have nothing but praise to say about this company.

I've written off and on for Textbroker since 2008. The company pays on time every week. For the most part, the editors are okay. Once in a while I've run into an overbearing one, but they don't last long. I've had some terrific clients and I've had some really bad ones. With some experience, it's easy to spot the ones who will insist on revision after revision and still reject an article -- which has happened to me three times in six years.The pay scale is way below pathetic, one or two cents per word, so complaints about the quality of the writing fail to move me to wailing and gnashing my teeth. I've been a writer and editor for more than 20 years. Take a tip from the military. "You can have it fast, you can have it cheap, or you can have it good. Pick any two."

I've been an intermittent user of TB services. I've found the quality average even for the top quality service level hence haven't made heavy use of their service.

I've this month had a demand for a significant payment from TB because I haven't placed a recent order! Would you believe, they expect me to pay to stay on their list of possible clients! I know of no quality company that does this.

In my view that is outrageous so I have removed myself from their list and will not use them again as a matter of principle.

Sorry, NO STARS., but that's not an option on this site so 1* given.
