    Dog clothes patterns - and I'm really anti dressing dogs in clothes! :rotfl:

    What was yours about?

    I've submitted it now so will see what feedback I get. If it's not good enough, I'll move on. Otherwise the amount of time that I spend obsessing about it isn't going to match the amount they're paying for it.

    That's so random!! Mine was about shopping in London, so not too bad. It's just knowing what kind of thing they're looking for and hoping that you aren't wasting your time writing an article that someone is just going to refuse. I worked out that I'd get about £2.50 for that article and I spent about 1.5 hours writing it. Not sure it's worth it.

    That's the problem - it said it was for a website that they wanted to monitise but more info would have been helpful. It's difficult to write an article when you don't know the purpose of it or what audience they are aiming for.

    Just an update on Textbroker, my article was accepted. Couldn't have been that bad then. I might stick it out for a bit longer. That has given me a bit of confidence.

    That hardly seems worth the effot Em, however I would give it a go for a while and see how well it pays once you have completed a few more articles. I must say I would have thought they may have paid more. Good luck wih it, I know you will give it your best :)

    Hi Pap

    I think the money goes up as you get a higher rating. So you have to basically slog it out at 3 stars to get to 4 stars and earn more money. I'll do some more soon, but I've got 17 online MS surveys to complete, so that'll keep me busy for a while. :)

    Ah Em is see that's not too bad in comparison at least you can work your way up the scale. I think you are approching in the right way though and taking your time toget there, don't burn yourself out on it. Good luck with all yor mystery shops. Did you ever do that reveiw site that paid per views or did that die a death? I joined but never posted reviews so I guess not a high money earner? Take care :)

    Hi Emz :D Well done on your article being accepted! :T

    Mine has been too - rated excellent which has given me a bit of a boost and a bit more of a desire to carry on. Plus the payment threshold is 10 Euro...

    Like you said, if you get to 4 stars it goes up so I'm going to stick it out for a bit longer :)

  • Hi all,

    Sorry to pop in unannounced. I read you're textbrokering.... I got my first payment last week into my paypal account. It seems only slightly easier than mystery shopping to me for about the same pay.
