Textbroker

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."

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.

They asked me to submit a copy of my ID. I'm not too worried about identity theft so I sent them a photocopy of my State of Florida Security Office ID. They claimed that was not good enough, so I just said thanks but no thanks, that's all your're getting

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.

I see a lot of horror stories from writers on here, and I don't get it.

I'm currently on Textbroker and working on moving up to better clients. I've been 4 star my entire time, never had an issue with reviews. As for the complaints like, "They blocked me accepting other articles after a coupe of weeks, so I couldn't pay my rent," they mention the five article block for new writers, and you are getting paid 1.4 cents a word or less so this isn't something you should rely on for money.

Clients that complain about keyword stuffing or word count inflation, this is what you get for 1.4 cents a word. A lot of the orders on the site come from clients that don't care about writing quality, they just want their keywords in a piece of an acceptable size. This leads to writers trained to focus on those aspects and not on creating quality writing.

I'm fine with writing on Textbroker for now. It's been a source of extra cash while I build better habits in myself. This isn't a long term writing solution, but it's good enough for the first couple of months.

I registered with Textbroker several years ago, but never wrote for them because I was getting more money writing elsewhere. Late last year, jobs dried up, so I went to them in desperation. While the operation is fairly operated, the communication with the writers is lacking. As for the pay, it is only decent if you get direct orders at the price that you set, and there are not a lot of requesters there that want to pay decent rates. Teams are not much better, most not paying more than the minimum allowed, which right now is less than slightly over. 015 per word. I am a level 4, and the editors do all they can to keep you there with extremely nitpicky editing. While it's nice to be able to pick and choose what I write, the topics are mostly commercial garbage, where you are supposed to write a general article and sneak in a promo somewhere "naturally," or product descriptions. What really gets me is that people are willing to write press releases and ad copy for the rates they pay, because copywriters are extremely well paid for those jobs.

I use it as a backup only, when times are tough. Stay off the forums unless you want to be trolled. There are a few on there who are just insane, and they keep changing their names so you don't know who they are. Textbroker seems to not want to do anything about them, because they are good producers. Go figure.

Textbroker is a legitimate way to make income. It is not suitable for professional writers though. It is ideal for individuals seeking a way to work from home who aren't experienced writers. I gave it a three star rating because the pay rate is to low for quality work. For a more in depth review check out my full review at http://writeoutblog.blogspot.com/
