Textbroker

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.

Good
There is work on-demand. No searching work or bidding on contracts. Getting paid is easy.

Bad
The pay is terrible in terms of real world income. Even 5 stars writers are under paid. They do not rate work in a timely manner which slows the promotion process.

They don't give their authors enough information to write appropriate articles.

And their automated approval process means that you give them a window for delivering and have to watch your email closely to discover when it is delivered so you don't miss the reject or rewrite window.

Waste of time, effort and money.

Textbroker now requires writers to re-verify their accounts by sending a photo of themselves showing their faces completely while holding a picture of their ID cards that is easy to see in the photo too and if you don't comply within a day, they permanently close your account. I'll try to find a better site that lets you write for clients and is likely to last.

Been using your service for a long time and this is just a absolutely wonderful gem.

I'm almost hesitant to tell others about this because I think it's just such an awesome resource like no other.

Will continue to use your service forever.

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.

I like the fact that you can work at your own pace, but the pay is insulting for the work to be done. Textbroker is like a "sweatshop" of the digital age. You have to do some significant amounts of research at times, and can take some time to complete the article (under the pressure of time sensitivity, usually 24 hours)) for a very low pay. It's too aggravating for the pay I get. I am sure there are better freelance writing opportunities out there. Textbroker is the "had to start somewhere" type, but cannot stay in it long-term.

One of my favorite things about the TB system is you can choose the quality of the writers. 5-stars usually means very little editing (if any). I've been able to put together a team of quality writers who understand the different markets I serve and are available to do the work in a timely manner.

I have written 60 articles and after so many years they closed my account because of one article they were not satisfied with. My articles in the past few months have been rated excellent by clients. I am very disappointed in TextBroker!

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.

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.

Poor management practices. Management does not value writers at all, and most of the writers who praise Textbroker fawn over management in the hopes that management will refer their names to managed and exclusive writing teams.

I am appalled by management's utter disregard for its writers. On top of that, the pay is dismal.

From other reviews, it seems that site is either hit or miss. However, in the past couple months that I have been writing for them, I have had a great experience. There are many different categories of articles to choose from. You can find articles that pay a decent chunk of money if you look and are willing to do the work within the given deadlines. They pay on a weekly basis and always have work from different clients to choose from. The only drawback is the time it takes for some editors to edit and accept content. Other than that, this site is very fair to their writers.

I've just recently started but it's going along pretty well. Some articles require a frequency of a certain word or phrase, which is supposed to help for SEO google analytics, but, this can be challenging if you want to use them and write professionally. I've come across (without naming the actual product directly) an article that required me to write "Tylenol buy" three times. Not "buy Tylenol," which would be much easier to implement. So I had to figure out how to squeeze that in with some lame line like: "Make sure to check out the generic brands if you want to save money when you Tylenol buy."

So my advice is to be picky with your articles and save some face.

I am just getting started and I am anything but impressed. It was highly recommended to me by my college professor to write professionally, so I decided to check out the site. My writing was rated a three, and there was only one job available in the three or less range. The topic was not something I would be able to do justice... so, what a waste of time...

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.

I love textbroker. We used a service for our blogging and social media and it was expensive and of poor quality. Since we started with textbroker, we get quality material with little to no need to edit, quick turnaround and headache free content sourcing. I'd recommend textbroker to anyone looking to build an attention grabbing and seo friendly blog for their business.

At first i thought i could gain great writing experience on textbroker with supposed reviews and all but while it was exciting at first i came it see it wasnt all its hyped to be. First off my first short article i had to write to recieve a grade put me at 3 stars which I remained for months until they reviewed my first 5 articles they bumped me down to a 2 and never reviewed any more again. How am i supposed to improve or even know if im improving when its been almost 5 damn months of no feedback there are hardly any 2 star orders mostly just 4 star so you cant become a better writer and you cant make real income its just a waste of time on both ends really dont bother wasting your time TRUST me

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.

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 worked for this lame company for 1 week. They hired me for a coordinator job and had me editing. They didn't provide any training to me for my position nor did they have a computer that was up to its needs and updated with the proper software needed to do my daily job! Total waste of time!

I have hired these writers a few times for web content but the last time was just ridiculous. I selected one of the higher levels of quality and what I got was complete garbage. Seriously... it was obviously written by someone who was just trying to stuff the article with words to max out the budget.

To give you an example. The assignment was to write an "about us" paragraph. The first line was "we are a co-ed group of professionals" <-- as if that matters at all. A completely dumb statement to add about a company in my opinion. Have you ever heard of a company that was strictly men or women? I complained and rejected the article but apparently the fine team at textbroker.com thought that it was a great article because I was told that my complaint wasn't valid and the article was accepted on my behalf!

GARBAGE QUALITY. STAY AWAY!

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.
