I have worked with Textbroker for years on both sides of the spectrum: as a content manager needing content for my certain projects on the job and as a freelance writer looking for work. No matter what position I'm in, I know I can always count on Textbroker to deliver an assortment of highly-qualified writers for my project's specific needs. Their writers are skilled in a variety of different subject areas and also do additional research when needed. I have always gotten my articles on time, and in many cases, early. Plus, the price for content is fair based on the quality and length of the article. And if you do run into an issue, their content managers are there with you every step of the way to resolve any problems. They can help you set up a content project, find the right writers, and even assist in managing the project to ensure you stay on track and meet your content goals. Textbroker is definitely a resource any content company and/or professional should have in their arsenal.
You get what you pay for, and the bar is set low. We've had an unbelievable amount of highly rated writers completely fail the most basic of articles. We are planning to start paying two writers for the same article just to be able to get some quality. There is something wrong with the rating system for sure.
Hi Andrew! Thank you for your feedback. It looks like you are working with the same two authors. If you feel you are receiving content that is below the quality level of the authors you are using, we encourage you to find another author to work with. In addition, please always feel free to reach out to Client Services at clients@textbroker.com with your concerns so that we may do a quality check on the author!
I clearly asked a writer to write a story for me.
When the article came back it was written completely wrong. They even wrote the story as if I was a woman but I am a man.
I corresponded with them and asked them to correct the problem and they said yes and they asked me to send the article back to them. I did (twice) even though they had it anyway. After 3 days and my deadline was almost up to get the article published, they had still done nothing so I rejected the first version. My rejection was taken to review and they rejected me and paid the writer for a useless article. I lost my money and have no right of reply. THe site is very hard to navigate especially for a newbie
Hi Paul! I'm sorry to hear that your most recent experience wasn't a positive one!
It looks like your refusal reason given was based on your experience using our site and not on the content that you had received. Please note that per our Terms of Services, valid order refusal reasons are the author not following your order briefing or writing the content to the quality level selected. Unfortunately, we are unable to uphold refusals based on use of the site as the author had completed the order per your order briefing specifications, and therefore, must be compensated for their work.
In the future, if you are having trouble using our site, please contact Client Services for assistance. Please feel free to contact Client Services at clients@textbroker.com if you have any additional questions!
1. The passport registration is just horrible - long, very insecure and not understandable.
2. The process of accepting/reviewing the order is so misleading! I wanted the author to just make few corrections to the order, so clicked - Revise and gave feedback. Out of the sudden, the whole article is gone and I got completely new one, which is a piece of *, then review all over again, and again, complete waste of time:/
3. The user interface is super confusing, visibly not tested nor created with UX in mind. Is that even a technology company?

Hi Ewelina! Thank you for your feedback! Our verification process is in place to protect yourself, account holders and Textbroker from fraud, and has proven to be quite successful! I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive the content that you wanted from the first author you worked with. When you send a revision request, the author will have 24 hours to comply. If they do not submit the revised text within the 24 hours, the order will automatically be returned to the order pool so that another author may complete your order. If you ever have any questions about how to use our site, please feel free to reach out to Client Services at clients@textbroker.com or via live chat from within your account!
Great first experience. Found a friendly and professional writer. I will definitely continue ordering via Textbroker.
Hi Marco! Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review. We're glad to hear that your first experience with our services went well!
There is too large of a skills gap between 4 star and 5 star authors. An article from a 4 star author usually contains poor flow, flawed logic, and takes several hours of personal editing to get into a final state. A 5-star author generally has post-ready material. Considering the fact that a 5 star article costs 3x what a 4 star article costs, there is a huge amount of stratification in ordering. I would like a happy medium between the two ratings - I am happy to do some touch up editing and am willing to spend more than a normal 4 star article to get it, but think the nearly 3X jump between 4 and 5 star is too much.
Hi Anthony! That's a really great point! We'll be sure to pass along your feedback to upper management. Thanks!
Easy process like I had hoped! Excited to start writing! Glad to see a variety of topics and pay for specific assignments as well.
Hi Tracy! We're glad to hear you're enjoying our services so far!
Hard to get 5 star authors to pick up, but busy equals good.
So if you want something done find a busy person and you get what you need.
Hi Keith, thank you for taking the time to post a review! We're glad you were able to find an available 5-star author to work with and were happy with the result!
I had a great professional services for my web content. I had 4 projects for my website content and all the four authors did a GREAT Job! A++++++
Hi Sam, thanks so much for your review! We're happy to have been able to provide you with A++++++ authors!
Customer service is always pretty quick and professional. When I have a question, it is answered or handled within the day or 24 hrs.
Hi Louis! Thanks so much for your review. We're glad to have been able to provide you with quick and professional service :)
Our company has used Textbroker for many years and they continue to be our go-to source for help in creating content for our clients. From Webpage copy to whitepaper content across many different industries, we find Textbroker has the best writers. We have tried other content providers as they enter the market, but always return to Textbroker. They were one of the first content providers and continue to be the leader in this area in our book.
Hi Rivers! Thanks so much for your review! We hope we can continue to be a leader in the content creation industry and appreciate your continued use of our services.
My only qualm is having to code things in HTML to format assignments. Lalala need to get to 100 characters to submit this disregard this sentence.
Hi Julie! Thanks so much for your review! I'm sorry you had to "lalala" to get to 100 characters to submit it:)
Regarding the HTML issue, if you could reach out to us at clients@textbroker.com to explain what you are trying to do a bit more, I can see if there are any suggestions that I can offer!
In the past I have used Upwork for projects but had been referred to textbroker by someone who has many articles written. I felt very removed from the process when using textbroker, like I had no say in who would ultimately write my article. I felt like the price was somewhat high considering we had the article written, just need a more businessy tone... they maybe added 50 words and moved a paragraph or two and it cost $46... I will be using upwork in the future or another site.
Hi Sara,
Thank you for your review of our services! I'm sorry to hear that you felt removed from the process. Should you continue to use our services in the future, we would recommend using the Author Search feature to locate a suitable author of your choosing. This allows you to choose the author you would like to complete your order as you would place the order with only that author as a Direct Order. Please reach out to us at clients@textbroker.com if you would like further instructions on how to use the Author Search feature or place a Direct Order!
Textbroker provides great value with it's large amount of content writers ready to develop engaging material.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review our services! We're glad to have been able to help provide you with content that meets your needs!
I've worked in the content marketing world for nearly a decade. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly - from Blackhat SEO practices back in the day, to the repercussions of Panda- and Penguin-gate. Textbroker has been a valuable resource for me to find and vet authors, building relationships that, with some authors, have spanned 8+years. While the biz model of Textbroker is set up for turn and burn "set it and forget it" content needs, what I appreciate most about them is their ability and overall willingness to create a system that works for me. Putting out content needs to the general public makes it difficult for me to get quality work... I have too many specifications and specs on my orders, so TB has allowed me to work with authors one on one, which in turn establishes a system that works for all of us. Above all, I appreciate their prompt, IMMEDIATE, and thorough response time. I get email and chat responses in minutes and their team goes above and beyond to help me, every time.
Hi Jo! Thanks so much for your review! It's always great to hear how Textbroker has been able to make a client's work life a little easier. We're glad to have been able to work with you through the years and look forward to many more years of meeting your content and customer services needs!
It took me THREE attempts to reach Textbroker to get an answer about a transaction being run twice on my business bank account. When I got frustrated and said that if I didn't hear back from someone, I'd be forced to dispute the transaction with my bank, I was threatened with account suspension and/or closure. I've been a Textbroker client for almost 6 years. I get calls all day, every day from other content providers, looking to take my business from Textbroker, yet I've stayed loyal to them. So please. Close my account. I'll save tons of money, and I'll guess that I'll not get these threats and that the next company may actually appreciate my business.
Hi Stephanie! I'm sorry to hear that you weren't happy with our response time. Please note that our business hours are Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm PT. Correspondence received outside these hours will be responded to by the end of the next business day. If you ever have an issue with a transaction you've made to our site, please reach out to us and we'll be happy to resolve it for you! Please allow at least one business day for a resolution. Unfortunately, PayPal disputes and chargebacks may result in the temporary suspension of an account while the situation is being resolved. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out to us at clients@textbroker.com and we'll provide further clarification!
The writer I work with is on point, gets what I'm asking for and the tone requested, and fully understands SEO. Feeling blessed to have found this service! Makes my life much easier!
Hi! Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to hear that you've found an author on our site who can meet your needs and help keep your content strategy on track!
Very reliable high quality. Our clients have a wide range of niche industries. The amount of niche-specific research the 4-5 star authors do is wonderful. Very happy client
Hi Ed,

A bit of a slow turn around if you use the Open Orders pool, but great quality and customer service!
Thanks so much for your honest feedback! We're always working to improve site and services!
I tried this service out and write accepted an article over and over and never delivered. I reached out to their Customer Service for help and were extremely rude and unhelpful!

Answer: Hello Sherryle. When you sign up with Textbroker, you essentially become a ghostwriter. You'll need a PayPal account as that is how the company pays on a weekly basis. You don't get personal credit for the content because you're writing on the behalf of clients. Jobs are placed in the queue that you can accept if you wish. Once you complete the job and the client accepts the work, you are credited the money. Every Thursday night, you manually accept payment into your PayPal account and are paid on Fridays. You will need a valid form of ID - since it is a legitimate company operating out of Las Vegas. Some people have a problem with that, but they file taxes and send 1099s just like any other US business. It's no different than applying for a job in your local town - if you live in the US. They have a trial period when you first sign up to determine your skill level. If you're an exceptional writer, you can start at level 4 - which makes more money per word. Personally, I started at level 3 and worked my way up. The best way to maximize the experience is to be picky on the jobs you take and sign up for any active teams you can. Team Orders usually pay higher and have a greater volume of work. Some can keep you busy until judgement day. If an order is too confusing or has questionable requirements, move on to something else. You'll experience less problems that way. If you develop a good report with Open Order clients, you can attract Direct Orders. These are some of the most lucrative orders you can get because you set the pay per word. In the time I have been writing with the company, I've attracted quite a few Direct Order clients. I've been working with Textbroker since 2012 and have completed more than 4,000 orders. On average, I make around $15 per hour when I actually sit down to write. Working from home has a lot of distractions :). With one particular team, I can make $50 in less than an hour, but those orders go pretty quick as there are more than 100 authors in that team. Keep your profile updated and filled out completely. When clients and team leaders search the database for authors, your skills and interests will be how they find you. I hope I was helpful and good luck. Take advantage of the author forums. There's a lot of good people that can help you out - such as myself.
