“They Don't Pay You for Articles You Write”

Danielle H.
10/6/23

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.

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.

Symphony of Life: A Journey Through Moments

In the heart of a bustling city, where the pace of life seemed to quicken with each passing day, lived a man named Ethan. He was an observer of life, finding solace in the intricacies of the world around him. For Ethan, life was not just a series of events; it was a symphony of moments, each one playing its unique note in the grand composition of his existence.

Ethan had a routine that he followed diligently. Every morning, he would wake up before the sun kissed the sky, and he would step onto his small balcony overlooking the city. With a steaming cup of coffee in hand, he would listen to the first notes of the day—a distant car engine, the hum of people getting ready for work, the soft rustling of leaves in a nearby park.

One morning, as Ethan sipped his coffee and gazed at the horizon, he noticed a young woman sitting on a bench across the street. Her eyes were fixed on a tattered book in her hands, and a gentle smile played on her lips. Her aura exuded a sense of serenity, as if she was engrossed in a symphony of her own making.

Intrigued by her presence, Ethan decided to venture beyond his usual routine. He crossed the street and approached her, curiosity dancing in his eyes. "What symphony are you listening to?" he asked, nodding toward the book.

She looked up, her eyes meeting his with a mixture of surprise and amusement. "A symphony of words," she replied. "Each sentence, each paragraph—it's a melody that resonates with my soul."

Ethan felt an immediate connection with her outlook on life. They sat together on the bench, sharing stories of their favorite moments—the laughter of a child, the touch of a loved one's hand, the scent of rain on a warm summer day. They discovered that they were both seekers of the extraordinary within the ordinary, the magic within the mundane.

As days turned into weeks, Ethan and the young woman—Grace, as he came to know her—explored the city together. They visited hidden gardens, listened to street musicians, and watched the sunset paint the sky in hues of orange and gold. Each experience was a note in their shared symphony of moments, a melody that grew richer with every passing day.

One evening, as they sat on the balcony that had brought them together, Grace turned to Ethan with a question. "Do you ever wonder what the climax of our symphony will be?" she mused.

Ethan looked at her, his eyes reflecting the city lights. "Perhaps the climax isn't a single moment," he said. "Maybe it's the culmination of all these moments, each one contributing to the grand finale."

Time flowed on, and Ethan and Grace continued to orchestrate their symphony of life. They faced challenges and celebrated victories, all the while cherishing the melodies that wove their stories together.

One winter morning, as snowflakes fell gently from the sky, Ethan took Grace's hand and led her to a park they had visited on their first adventure. The city seemed to hush, as if in anticipation of their next note. With a joyful heart, Ethan dropped to one knee and held out a small box, its contents sparkling like a promise.

"Grace, will you compose the rest of our symphony with me?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion.

Tears of happiness filled her eyes as she nodded, a symphony of emotions playing on her face.

Their journey continued, now as partners in a symphony that resonated not only with their souls but with the world around them. They faced the future hand in hand, their hearts beating in time with the rhythm of life.

As the years passed, their symphony continued to evolve, branching out into new melodies and harmonies. And when their hair turned silver and their steps grew slower, they would sit on their balcony, listening to the echoes of their life's symphony—a timeless composition that had been built on the foundation of ordinary moments, transformed into extraordinary memories.

In the end, they realized that life wasn't about chasing after a single crescendo. It was about embracing every note, every cadence, and every pause, for it was these moments, both big and small, that created the most beautiful symphony of all—the symphony of life.

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."

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this platform.

Many people think their fitness level is low or that they need to workout more often. However, working out regularly can be difficult. That's because you need to find time for a gym and exercise, which can be tough. Working out regularly helps you stay healthy and strong. It also helps you lose weight and feel great.
Regularly working out at the gym helps you stay healthy and strong. It also helps you achieve your fitness goals- such as losing weight or building muscle. People tend to slack off when it comes to their fitness. That's why it's important to work hard to stay motivated. Doing so allows you to stay on track with your goals and feel great about yourself. Plus, you'll have more energy for other parts of your life when you feel strong from working out.
It's tough to stay motivated when you don't feel confident about your fitness level. Working out regularly helps with that; it gives you a reason to feel good about yourself and build confidence. People who are confident in their fitness look and feel much better than those who aren't fit. They also have more energy for other parts of their life. For example, they have more stamina when they eat and can control their weight easily. Therefore, working out regularly is essential for feeling good about yourself and controlling your health needs.
You should also work out whenever you can instead of skipping workouts. This is especially true if you're trying to lose weight or build muscle. Eating less reduces the amount of calories in your body each day. This reduces your body weight and strengthens your muscles at the same time. Therefore, working out whenever you can ensures that you're getting stronger and building muscle each day. Doing so allows you to reach your fitness goals much faster.
Regularly working out keeps you healthy, strong and on track with your fitness goals. Additionally, working when possible keeps you motivated and committed to a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, focus on doing what you can when you can- then schedule time for your workouts whenever possible!

I've been using Textbroker for over 6 years now, first as a writer and then as a client. I've had consistent great articles and press releases from writers. I'm so glad to have one website I can go to for the content I need. I've connected with several good writers that deliver consistent articles. The platform is easy to use and I especially like the templates I can save for easy repeat ordering.

I've used this service before at my job and now set up my own account to use for my clients. The payment system was frustrating to begin with. Once I got all that sorted out I started putting in orders. Several of the authors did not follow instructions and refused to do a revision, at which point the content was due to my client so I wrote it myself. Apparently, when the authors kicked back the articles into the pool it removed the due date and I was charged for three pieces of content even though they were past due.

This and several other issues (including setting up my own author pool, tracking changes, customer service, etc.) have led me to be hesitant when using TextBroker. I can't write everything myself so I have my own writers I use and will still use TextBroker but only in case of emergency. Its also not the highest quality content but its worth what you pay so if you pay the premium it might be better, I just haven't had an experience that warrants spending more money than I have to.

Carlene P. – Textbroker Rep

Hi ME, I'm sorry to hear that your experience didn't go smoothly! The best way to ensure that your orders are completed in a timely manner is to use the Author Search feature to locate a suitable author and work with them on an ongoing basis. The next time you're thinking about placing an order with us, feel free to get in touch and we'll walk you through it:)

Also, please remember to delete orders you no longer need so that you aren't charged for them!

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.

Richard.

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!

I have been ordering content for five months on Textbroker and I have to say that I'm happy with the quality of content I receive at the price I pay, It takes some time to find your go-to writers but when you take the time to create your own team and offer a reasonable rate, you will get several writers willing to work for you and do a good job.

I ordered a test article with 4-star quality. What I got was a plagiarised piece of garbage. I tried refusing, I tried canceling, I tried contacting the seemingly non-existent support. A week later, they put the article back out for tender even though I said I wanted it canceled. I couldn't get anyone on the line and had to close the account to stop 'writers' from continuously trying to submit articles that were garbage. The system wouldn't let me stop the task. And no refund even though I NEVER ACCEPTED THE ARTICLE! Call me old fashioned, but I call that theft.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Textbroker is the leading digital content creation site. We bring clients and authors together to create custom content, such as blogs, product descriptions, press releases and more!

Business History

The idea behind Textbroker is to satisfy the growing demand for custom content. As an SEO provider, Textbroker founder Jan Becker-Fochler experienced first-hand the increasing importance of unique content to his clients; after all, unique content leads to a better ranking in search engines, more traffic and more revenue. Then, in 2005, Becker-Fochler came up with the idea to search for authors, motivate them to write, rate the quality of their work and compensate them for their effort. To accomplish this, he commissioned the development of a preliminary version of the Textbroker platform.

Within a short time, thousands of authors eager for the chance to earn money with their writing signed up. In 2007, Textbroker launched the Internet’s first content marketplace. Today, Textbroker authors deliver high-quality product descriptions, blog posts, press releases, social media posts, news stories, and technical articles and a wide variety of other written content to clients around the world. In essence, Textbroker is a better, faster, easier and less expensive way for companies to get freelance written content.
