Textbroker - Writing for money (not vouchers)

Ooh, just picked up a cracker of a 3*, up to 1000 words on baking a cake. Also requires photos, but as it's my daughters birthday on Sat, guess what this evening was going to be spent doing? So basically getting paid to document something I was going to be doing anyway - fabby!

I have been writing Text broker articles for a couple of months now. Such a shame that there aren't more articles to write. The potential is certainly there. Just needs to get busier!

Ooh very nice! Any excuse to make cake Happy birthday for saturday to your daughter too!

Just submitted my 5th article so will be drumming my fingers now until they get reviewed. Based on the one feedback I got off a client (2 good ratings, 2 excellent), I'm kinda hoping I get bumped up to a 4*, but as long as I don't go down to a 2* I'm happy.

I'm in the same boat Catriona - just finished my fifth article today. Pleased with client feedback but I want another star because there are so many more jobs for four stars. It's not much per article but if you did one a night you could make a nice sum each month. I'm really grateful to the OP for sharing

Ladies, I've found another site, not as good as textbroker. However, it might fill the gap between the wait.

I've been using Textbroker since it launched in the UK (April, I think?) and it's served me well. I've done over 100 articles, aiming for one a day, and if you're waiting for articles to be rated by TB, make sure you email them and give them a friendly nudge. I think it took over 2 months for my first batch to be rated (after the first five) and the rest have only just been recently rated too. If you email them asking, they're are pretty prompt. Otherwise you'll be waiting a long time!

I've got to ask - for people getting direct orders, how are you managing to get them? I've had a few in the past, but they are few and far between. I've lowered my price to the minimum (1.50), and I'd go lower if I could. Just a friendly email to clients who are happy with your work?

Has anyone joined the teams for TeamOrders? Are they worth it?
