Textbroker

I have been picking up orders from Textbroker and receiving my weekly pay promptly since June, 2014. If there is a concern or issue, I call customer service and it is handled effectively. Feedback is welcome and received. Textbroker was very clear about their guidelines when I started. They did not offer any false promises. All information about rating and pay has been transparent. I am satisfied with the clients and the editors at Textbroker.

Just recently I had a review at TB by one of their editors. I received a ruling that was incorrect, grammatically speaking. One of the TB web pages sided with me, but not the editor. Simple call really. Do you capitalize the first letter of a corporate entity such as Coca Cola, or Walt Disney Productions? Naturally, we all know the answer, but not this one editor.

I quickly shot off an email citing the correct answer from one of their own TB web pages, and several days later, guess what?

I got an apology from the editorial staff siding with me. Anyone can make a mistake, but I was stunned that they actually ruled in my favor. That's a first for me at TB, but you see, miracles can happen. LOL

Textbroker is a good site for writers. Though the pay scale is not great-- I am rated a 4, which is excellent by their standards, and the pay is just 1.4 cents, they always have work and they pay every week like clockwork.It is possible to upgrade to level 5, which pays a nickel per word, but you have to pass their proofreading test first, and I haven't had time. Good supplemental income for beginners or those who are self-employed as I am and subject to the whims of clients.

Been a member of this website for a while now. Really like them, and they are a good website. Decent pay for your writing too. Are a bit skimpy on writing topic descriptions though. But as writing for pay websites go, this is one of the few good ones that I have found. You sign up and submit a writing sample. They are pretty prompt to respond, and will rate your sample by stars - 2,3 or 4 stars. Your star level will determine what writing assignments are available to you. Don't worry, they usually have plenty to choose from. They now pay bi-weekly, amounts starting at $10 dollars. Good writing website.

I started with Textbroker years ago and thought "Yea, this is cool." Now a few years later I realized it was a shady scene. It did help me to start writing articles for people but not much else. The pay was low and obviously many writers (if you want to call them that) are from overseas. The end result was I bailed after a couple years and tried to freelance which worked over time. I actually started on Fiverr.com and offered services for blogging and article writing. Now I get orders that can be 25.00 to 40.00 for blogs that are around 750 to 1000 words. I noticed the more positive feedbacks I got, the demand grew. It's more personal and your in control of what you accept or dont. So, yea Textbroker is good for practice and maybe beer money but not much else. I felt like I was a writing wh@@e for them, Fiverr, I don't.

They redesigned and the new design is so horrible, that it is barely usable. So many bugs and frustrations, I am planning to start using freelance sites rather than this. Paid 20K so far for content, the customer support is either not responding or rude and ignorant as hell. I know other people got similar issues as well. This is not how a business should be run.

Not good at all in my opinion. This "service" has the worst proposed content I have seen in a long time, and it appears that the site editors and authors have no recognition of the search algorithms used by major search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. If you take a look at their sample blog texts, you will find that the author(s) appear to have absolutely no concept of SEO or what it takes to be noticed in a generic search since the inception of Google's search algorithms, which have been in place since 2011! The text they submit has a very automated feel to it, as if it is the result of "bot" compilation of numerous pieces of old, stale text parading as "new" content. It also looks like this is just a way to get aspiring authors to work for basically free. I would stay away.

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this company. But after 2 different writers and a huge delay, I found a great writer that actually helped me. Making the concept of the business effective. Therefore, learn how the system works well and ask support (which is great) for advice or even writers to help you better understand how to get your project done with out delay. Like I learned the hard way. Although they should control better how the freelancer can just drop a project that has a deadline after committed to it and its deadline. Maybe a drop rate. Any how Textbroker has good writers that are also great people, but not a good design interface and control system. I still recommend them with a warning lol and I still will use Their services. Hopefully, they will fix the little things.

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.

I have used TB since 2016. They started off great. I've used them for many articles. Throughout the years I have noticed the quality being no better than the freelance services online. Granted I didn't have 5 star articles written but most of the time the author didn't follow the direction even after a revision request. I find that after rejecting the article Text Broker is quick to refuse your rejection without paying attention to your side of the story. After years of using them and paying for a service that didn't meet my expectations I have no choice but to use other providers. Save yourself the BS of contacting customer service after they wrongfully reject your rejection. The quality assurance team isn't thorough. They are quick to refuse you and make you pay for something you didn't want.

Anyway they did refund my money but it wasn't until I disputed it via email and through a customer service rep. They had to look into my side. Whoever declined it originally copy and pasted the crap in the email.

When I started I was rated a 4. They stopped me without warning for 2 weeks and caused me to lose my apartment because I could not write. They then reduced me to 3 stars which effectively reduced compensation by half. The justifications they gave actually showed that my writing was at least at the 4 star level as that level is defined by them. They also promise to review and rate work on an ongoing basis and they have yet to rate any more work. They really are committing fraud here.

I am disabled, but still have my writing and research abilities. I have written more than 450 articles in the past year for nearly $3,700. I have written, blogs, legal web pages, complete web sites and more. I have several private clients. The editors are smart and helpful. They totally take care of the client side and protect their writers. I get paid into my Paypal account every Friday that I request and have never had one problem. I highly recommend this site for both writers and clients.

As an author, I can say that my experience with this site is just as horrific as the clients. Often times clients give poor instructions which leave authors perplexed. The editors that are supposed to review content are often inconsistent with their feedback to authors who have little recourse if they are treated unfairly by textbroker. Rates for authors are abysmally low given that many clients require extensive research for their articles.
