Textbroker - Writing for money (not vouchers)

Catriona_P

I picked up an assignment yesterday about sport in Nigeria - but on starting to write it appears the client wants the keywords 'all sports nigeria' to appear several times in the article in that order. But it's not an actual sentence. I contacted the technical team yesterday but no response yet. Any ideas?

Hmph - no work on there for me! Have done all the base and project assessments that I can and no work. Can't do one of the assessments as am still waiting for a Live ID to be emailed to me.

Have you done the fashion pre-qual one? I did that and now have 100 articles to write for a fashion website- just product descriptions. can't do it today as got tests at 12 so should be revising!

Also, that Live ID one is a bit rubbish- I haven't found anything to do on it yet, so let me know if you do.

I think that it is probably a website name maybe? Or you could do something like "blah blah blah all sports, Nigeria blah blah blah". i.e. "A total of 2100 medals were handed out at the London 2012 Olympics games across all sports, Nigeria did not win any medals despite sending 55 athletes to the Games."

No, I don't have that one available to do...Am wondering if my written assessment wasn't good enough, I only got 83%. No idea why though cos no feedback. Thinking of signing up again with different email address and having another go! lol

I tried that - it doesn't recognise that I've used the phrase if I put a comma in, or drop the s at the end of sport, or anything else I can think of. It is a website though so I guess I'll have to just refer to the website itself then? Bizarre.

Have you tried emailing the client? They might be able to provide you with some more info about what they are looking for. I've had to contact the client a couple of times now and they usually get back to me within a day with an answer.

some Groupon ones just came up as well. My feedback said "good job" which isn't very helpful for development points.

I've contacted them but no response yet. Just had a response from the textbroker technical team saying just to 'fit the phrase in where you can'. I'll see what the client says in response to my message

What is the top rate of pay with these dudes and how attainable is it?

I just noticed that for the writing ones that I have available it says minimum of 90%. If you look at your completed assessments, does it give you a date for when you can retake the assessment?
