    Hmm. :)

    But think I'll stick with Constant Content and go for the $150 jobs. Even at 35% off, I'm still doing better.

    Still haven't done too much on Constant Content as I don't really understand how the order system works on there

    I don't really understand how anyone can make a living at this myself. You only have to look at articlebase, fivver and Elance to see how little money people get paid for writing articles. Good luck to anyone who is making money from it, but I don't honestly believe the majority of people can make a sane part time living like this.

    What have the rates paid at other sites got to do with those paid at TB?

    Perhaps someone enterprising would pay someone of fivver £3.36 to write a 500 words article, then submit it to textbroker and double their money???

    If it had been published anywhere thru Fiverr, then it would probably get rejected by TB.

    Dang! Forgot that I'd impatiently deleted my account on TB and had to re-join. Paid a lot more attention, so I'll be interested to see what my grade is this time round.

    Will definitely be going "hmm" if it's a 3*.

    Yep, had the nice email, not really sure what group it's referring to though!

    I'm not happy with TB at the moment. I've been removed from one of the direct order groups for some reason, I queried it by email and nobody has bothered to respond. One of the orders I did for the group kept coming back with strange requests for revisions (asking me to keep to the subject, which I DID, and did my best to sort). Now that order has been removed from me completely so I've lost several hours work and payment for an article. Bit peeved to be honest.

    What's happened to Vikki from customer services? She was always polite and friendly.

    That is a total pain! It's likely I've been removed from the group they are asking me to join then, because it's vanished! Charming! They could have told me!

    Think Textbroker is having a bit of a brainstorm. They have transferred 3 euros into my Paypal account, despite me not asking for a payout. Also, you can't request one until you have ten euros in there anyway.
    Sending us all a nice email has obviously scrambled its systems.

    I do not understand the Team Order thing at all. I applied ages ago to two, as they were advertising for people to join and heard nothing. The two articles I wrote to join are still sitting there ............... 6 months later.

    Clearly they didn't want me, fair enough, but until the specimen articles I wrote "disappear", I can't access the team orders at all.

    ................. Perhaps that's the point ...............:eek:
