Textbroker - Writing for money (not vouchers)

My articles have been rated and my account unblocked and I am now 4* woohoo. Got loads of writing I can be getting on with now between Textbroker and Clickworker!

Hi,

Just wondering how much is the average earning per week?

Thanks

Congratulations.

I missed out on the 4* and probably most of the comments were justified. I know the last one I did was much better but I'm stuck for 3*'s to write at the mo. Really struggling to get started with clickworker so will have to spend some time on that whilst waiting for articles to come up

Thanks for the tip about looking out for work in evenings - I got 3 articles last night and have had 2 accepted, just waiting for the third.

It was tough, tough going though - getting some of those keywords shoehorned in was a nightmare and I didn't think it read well at all in places but the clients didn't seem to mind!

Does anyone know if the keyword on top of the assignment (not the keywords they ask you to use) the one that says chosen keywords and then an id. Are you supposed to use them as the title?

I joined this but only got a 3* rating and there seems to be no jobs in that category, and haven't been for the three days I've been checking. So how do I get started?

Most people start off with a 3* rating and it can only be boosted through writing articles. I know what you mean about there not being many at this level, but they do crop up (a few a day) and refreshing and being prepared to write about *any* topic will go a long way to meeting your 5 article review. From there your level may well be boosted and you'll find it easier to get more work. I started on this site about a month ago and went through all the usual frustrations of waiting aaaaaages for reviews from TB and struggling to find articles at the right level; but now I have a pretty steady stream of Direct Orders and have actually made a reasonable amount! :j

I picked up an article last night about Paris, looking forward to writing it.

I've put myself down for a team order about RPG writing which is right up my street, but it's still saying its an 'open application' - does anybody know how long it takes before they accept you?

I signed up for that... what, three weeks ago? I've never had anything through the team orders, I got accepted as part of a fashion one and no work comes through it.

That's a shame, I was really looking forward to the RPG one. Ah well, maybe we'll still get lucky!

Picked up an article at 9am this morning with a day's deadline and have just had a message from the client telling me the article was due on Wednesday and it's now overdue. Anyone else had that before?

That's a bit odd - it sounds as though someone else agreed to write it, then returned it to the general author pool when the deadline expired. I'd politely write back and let them know you've only just picked it up and will have it completed within a day. Hopefully they'll realise it's not your fault.

Yeah that's what I think has happened. I sent them a message about this but they have yet to reply. I've now finished the article but I don't want to send it yet until this is cleared up - I don't want them thinking I've been holding them up when it wasn't me!
