Textbroker
Reviews and Complaints

I am disabled, but still have my writing and research abilities. I have written more than 450 articles in the past year for nearly $3,700. I have written, blogs, legal web pages, complete web sites and more. I have several private clients. The editors are smart and helpful. They totally take care of the client side and protect their writers. I get paid into my Paypal account every Friday that I request and have never had one problem. I highly recommend this site for both writers and clients.

Just recently I had a review at TB by one of their editors. I received a ruling that was incorrect, grammatically speaking. One of the TB web pages sided with me, but not the editor. Simple call really. Do you capitalize the first letter of a corporate entity such as Coca Cola, or Walt Disney Productions? Naturally, we all know the answer, but not this one editor.

I quickly shot off an email citing the correct answer from one of their own TB web pages, and several days later, guess what?

I got an apology from the editorial staff siding with me. Anyone can make a mistake, but I was stunned that they actually ruled in my favor. That's a first for me at TB, but you see, miracles can happen. LOL

Beer money? Where the hell are you guys drinking? I have been a writer for TextBroker for two and a half years. I currently average $500 while writing for less than 30 hours per week. Sometimes the work for open orders can be lacking, but I have developed regular daily clients and belong to six extremely active teams - so it doesn't matter how much work is available in the open queue.

If you're not serious about being a freelance writing on the site, you won't make much money. I have long since quit my regular job as I make far more now on TextBroker than I did before. If I had a problem with a client, the TextBroker agents responded to me in less than an hour.

I do agree that the editorial staff isn't consistent with reviews, but that's what happens when you have several people reviewing work each with different knowledge and understanding of grammar. As long as you're consistent in your abilities and can write AP style without difficulty, then you don't have much to worry about.

I have worked with Textbroker for years on both sides of the spectrum: as a content manager needing content for my certain projects on the job and as a freelance writer looking for work. No matter what position I'm in, I know I can always count on Textbroker to deliver an assortment of highly-qualified writers for my project's specific needs. Their writers are skilled in a variety of different subject areas and also do additional research when needed. I have always gotten my articles on time, and in many cases, early. Plus, the price for content is fair based on the quality and length of the article. And if you do run into an issue, their content managers are there with you every step of the way to resolve any problems. They can help you set up a content project, find the right writers, and even assist in managing the project to ensure you stay on track and meet your content goals. Textbroker is definitely a resource any content company and/or professional should have in their arsenal.

I've worked in the content marketing world for nearly a decade. I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly - from Blackhat SEO practices back in the day, to the repercussions of Panda- and Penguin-gate. Textbroker has been a valuable resource for me to find and vet authors, building relationships that, with some authors, have spanned 8+years. While the biz model of Textbroker is set up for turn and burn "set it and forget it" content needs, what I appreciate most about them is their ability and overall willingness to create a system that works for me. Putting out content needs to the general public makes it difficult for me to get quality work... I have too many specifications and specs on my orders, so TB has allowed me to work with authors one on one, which in turn establishes a system that works for all of us. Above all, I appreciate their prompt, IMMEDIATE, and thorough response time. I get email and chat responses in minutes and their team goes above and beyond to help me, every time.

I have been a writer on Textbroker for nearly a year. I started out as a four-star writer and was recently promoted to the five-star level. Textbroker has been a safe, reliable and user-friendly way to earn extra income online with my writing skills. With one minor exception, I have had great experiences with Textbroker's clients. I have written content at Textbroker for various projects ranging from small websites to larger corporate clients. The editors have always been helpful and professional, and all my questions have been answered in a timely manner. I can safely say that writing for Textbroker has developed my writing skills more than several college-level English courses. Even though Textbroker's quality standards are very high, success is within reach as long as one takes the time to fully understand their requirements and apply their guidelines carefully. Their high standards ensure that clients know what quality to expect from Textbroker authors at each level of service. Textbroker has built and maintained a strong reputation in the area of online content for a reason. I'd recommend it as a great option both for writers looking for a place to use their skills and for those looking for good writing services.

I have to laugh at the guy who said $15 for 500 words is "insanely expensive". If you're expecting professional work, you'll have to pay someone a liveable wage in order to get it. You should expect at least a couple of hours to be spent on a high-quality, SEO optimized piece of 500 words and $15 isn't going to cut it. If you want keyword-stuffed ESL-garbled webclutter, you can probably get that for your price range.

My experience with Textbroker is pretty lousy considering the success I've had working for other content brokers and private clients. I like the business model of broker sites, but even at four stars at TB you're earning half of what other sites pay for two-star writers. It's hard for me to understand why four- and five-star rated writers would stick around and teach clients that $15 is an "insanely high" price for a quality piece when they could double or triple their earnings elsewhere.

Textbroker's editors don't like the way I write and I've only received negative reviews from them in spite of rave reviews from clients there. I have had great success at two other broker sites along with a bit of good work from private clients so clearly it is just a mismatch for me as a writer.

I surely will not be busting my butt for TB's editors only to get pennies slung at me. Writers, think better of yourself and your work and move on.

I began writing for TextBroker in 2009. I was rated at a "4", which is where I remained for almost 4 years. In the middle of 2013 I had a client ask for changes 5 times on one article. I found out that he was posting these articles he was "not happy with" on his business site as they were being submitted. When I confronted him he decided to simply reject the article all together. I contacted TextBroker with the proof that I had of the client posting these articles and did not hear back from them for 3 months. They told me at then that too much time had passed. Within a month my rating dropped down to a "3", which is where I am still at. After receiving this rating I had my professors look over the work and was told that the Grammatical errors that I was being told existed were not present.

There is no consistency in the article reviews that are performed through TextBroker. It has been 4 months since any of my work has been reviewed. By the time the editors get to the articles they simply place an "N" in the rating. I have been told that this is to help catch up on older articles that have been waiting for review. However, this is an unfair practice. I am a writer that does need full-time work. I think the company had better services and relationships with the writers and clients before they tried to expand their business. The amount of work has not increased and the company as a whole is no longer leaving a professional image in the minds of their writers. While I do continue to write for my direct order clients through TextBroker, I have given up on the other work that the company has to offer. I have found other sites that I would encourage fellow writers to try out!

I have spent the last 15 years as a professional writer. Blogs, print and also have worked as an editor. I'm no slouch at writing.

After literally hundreds of blogs for these people over three years, hundreds, all rated a "4" - all of them - ONE client rejected an article (after asking for changes that I made per his instructions) and, not being a mind reader, (apparently I didn't get what he meant in his 15 word email) he rejected it. After three years, hundreds of blogs and ONE unsatisfied client I was reduced to a "3" with a congratulatory email -no kidding, it read: "Congratulations! You are now a 3 star writer."

Wha? 3 star writers have a more limited pool of choices for blogs (and they aren't that great to begin with!) and less pay. Because on ONE unsatisfied client.

Actually, that's what cut if for me, although I really should have moved along long before. These people are clearly idiots. Often you find yourself writing blogs that you normally wouldn't because the pool gets so limited. Your "pay" can be sort of decent (it is NEVER good) and don't believe anyone who says you can make a living at this!- but also can be quite paltry. Quite. You are not in control of that either. Many of the blogs ask for "from a Canadian point of view" or such that will discount it for US writers. Many blogs are $1.50 product descriptions. Some client's instructions are filled with grammatical and spelling errors. Some are unclear. Some clients are good ones, but some want "War and Peace" for $6. And TB will expect you to do that. They ask you to include all sorts of things that are not in the realm of "writing". You're actually better off flipping burgers or working at the 7-11 and working on your own blog or novel. Trust me. It will be a lot more dependable.

This Textbroker.com website is just terrible. It ain't even worth the time for anyone. The pay's a joke, only one cent per word! You got to write like crazy to make any decent money. I mean, a fourth grader can write something that's worth one cent, it's just ridiculous.

The whole rating system's a scam too. You put in your best effort, write some good articles, and what happens? Nada! Your rating stays the same. It's like they don't care if you're doing your best or not, they just want you to work for peanuts.

And don't even get me started on the clients. They act like they're royalty or something. They're always sending back your work two, three, four times just to make some dumb changes that don't make any sense. It's like they're just trying to mess with your head or something.

Plus, you got to wait until after payday to get your articles reviewed? Are you serious?! That's just low, even for them. It's like they don't want to pay you any more than they absolutely have to. Ain't nobody making over $19 in a pay period unless they work like a slave.

If you're a beginner, don't even bother with this company. They act like they're doing you a favor by letting you work for them, but it's all a crock. Don't sell yourself short, find something better than this crap. Don't waste your time with these people, they don't deserve it.

I've been writing with Textbroker for a little over three weeks now, and let me tell you, the experience has had its ups and downs. Starting out at a 3-star level, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself promoted almost immediately to a 4-star rating after submitting my first five articles. My first 40 articles were accepted with no issues, and I thought I had found my writing groove.

However, that all changed when I received a revision request on one of my 940-word articles. The client complained that there was no "voice" in my writing and that I had included too many facts. Now, this is where I got pretty frustrated - the client specifically requested that I do research, which I did, and I thought it was only natural to include relevant facts and evidence to support my claims.

Now, I understand that writing is a subjective art, and different clients may have different expectations. But after spending hours researching and writing, only to be handed a revision request that felt unreasonable to me, well, let's just say that I wasn't feeling too happy.

The fact of the matter is, clients on Textbroker do tend to expect a lot for very little pay. As a writer, it can be difficult to balance quality with quantity, especially when you're paid a fixed rate per word. And sure, you can work your way up to higher paying assignments, but it's not easy, and it takes time.

Personally, I feel like my time and effort are worth more than what I'm making on Textbroker. I understand that not every project is going to be a home run, but when I put in the work and still get hit with a revision, well, it makes me question whether it's worth it.

All of that being said, I don't think Textbroker is necessarily a bad platform. It's great for writers who are just starting out and need a bit of practice and exposure. But if you're a seasoned writer who values their time and effort, you may want to look elsewhere.

One thing that's easy at Textbroker is getting paid. I never got any issues with that. That's where it ends in the good books. The rate is easier than simple addition. You can earn more by just going out for a long walk around your place and finding coins. Some of the topics are good to write for, but most of them are just trash. You'll end up writing about hemorrhoids, penile enhancements, and buying cheap drugs online. Now, the clients also seem like they don't want to pay. They'll ask for a lot of work in just 300 words. I feel like I'm running a marathon or something. As if that's not enough, it doesn't matter if you wrote more than 8000 articles for them. A few poorly rated ones, and you're done. They give you the boot like you never existed. Like really? You can write thousands of articles, but you're only good as your last three. That's so not cool, man. You better think twice before you sign up for Textbroker. They're trash.

I've had some experience with this Textbroker service before, using it at my job and recently setting up my own account to use it with my clients. To be straightforward, at first, I found the payment setup quite frustrating. But, once I sorted that out, I started putting in orders.

However, I noticed that several of the writers failed to follow my instructions, and refused to make changes. My client was waiting for the content, and since the writers were unable to comply, I rewrote the articles myself. Unfortunately, when the authors returned the content into the queue, it cleared all due dates. So, I was charged for three pieces of content, even though they were already overdue.

Multiple setbacks have led me to be hesitant when using TextBroker. I can't write everything by myself, so I have my own writers to use. But, I'll still turn to TextBroker in the event of an emergency. In my experience, the overall quality of their content is not of the highest caliber. However, considering what you pay for, it's worth it. If you decide to go for premium content, it may end up being better quality, although personally, I haven't had the experience that warrants spending more money than I have to.

Also, I must mention that setting up my own author pool was a bit of a struggle, along with keeping track of changes, and customer service was a bit slow, but those are minor complaints. Despite these minor drawbacks, TextBroker has been a valuable tool to have for creating content, though I'd advise keeping an eye out for these types of issues. Overall, TextBroker offers a good value, and they're worth considering, but expect a few minor setbacks along the way.

I been using Textbroker for a hot minute , since 2016 to be exact. At first, they was real good. But I soon start noticing that the quality ain't much better than the other freelance sites out there. Mind you, I ain't expect no Pulitzer prize winning stuff, but most of the time the writers wasn't following the directions even after I let 'em know the first time.
Here's the real kicker - when I rejected the article, Textbroker was quick to slam me with a refusal without even listening to my side of things. I mean, what's up with that? After spending all them years using their service and not getting my money's worth, I had no choice but to find other sources.
But lemme tell ya, trying to deal with customer service when they wrongfully rejectin' your rejection is pure BS. They need to work on that quality assurance team too, cause they ain't checking they writers like they should. Instead, they quick to give me the finger and make me pay for something I ain't even want.
I did get a refund eventually, but it took me disputing it through emails and talking to a customer service rep. Whoever rejected me first just copy and pasted some junk in the email, without even considering my side of things.
Bottom line, Textbroker ain't what it used to be and they need to clean up their act.

Yo, I peeped a bunch of people talking trash about Textbroker on here, but like, I don't see what the big deal is.

I've been writing on Textbroker for a while now, climbing them ladders to get to those better paying gigs. I been killin' it at that 4 star level and never had a problem with clients dissin' my work. As for those whiners who say they couldn't get no more work after a few weeks, that's because they didn't read the fine print about the five article block for new writers. Plus, let's be real, you ain't makin' bank at 1.4 cents a word, so don't rely on this gig for rent money.

And as for the peeps who complain about stuffin' in keywords and inflatin' the word count, like, what do you expect for 1.4 cents a word? A lot of the orders come from clients who don't care if the writing's good or not, they just want them buzzwords in there at an acceptable length. So yeah, it's not always about quality writing, but it pays the bills.

Personally, I don't mind writing on Textbroker. It's a decent way to make extra cash and work on improvin' my craft. But let's be real, this ain't no long term solution to makin' a livin' off your words. It's good for a few months while you work on developin' yourself as a writer.

Textbroker.com is supposedly a great website for freelance writing, but don't be fooled by their fancy advertising! They claim to be a legitimate platform for writers to get paid for their hard work, but the truth is much uglier than their carefully crafted image.

You won't believe the horror stories that writers have shared about their experiences with Textbroker.com. Everything from low pay rates, to unresponsive customer service, to shady business practices - it's all been revealed on various forums across the internet.

But don't just take our word for it, check out some of these quotes from actual Textbroker.com users:

"I've been writing for Textbroker for a few months now and I have to say that it's just not worth the time or effort. The pay rates are abysmal and the editorial staff is incredibly unresponsive. I've had multiple articles rejected for flimsy reasons and it just seems like they're looking for any excuse not to pay me for my work."

"I started writing for Textbroker because I thought it would be a good way to make some extra money on the side. But after a few weeks of dealing with their terrible policies and confusing rules, I realized that it's just not worth it. There are much better freelance writing websites out there where you can actually make a decent living."

"While Textbroker.com may seem like a great opportunity for aspiring writers, the reality is that it's nothing more than a scam. They lure you in with promises of steady work and fair pay, but the truth is that they exploit their writers for profit. Don't fall for their tricks!"

So there you have it, folks. Textbroker.com may seem like a great way to make some extra cash, but the reality is much different. If you value your time and your sanity, stay far away from this shady website and look for legitimate freelance writing opportunities elsewhere.

Dude, let me tell you about Textbroker. It took them like FOREVER to even glance at my sample writing. I was like, "What the heck? Am I not good enough for you or something?" Eventually, they looked at it, approved it, and apologized for their tardiness, but still...not a great first impression.

Anyway, they accepted my article samples and gave me a 4-star rating. I was stoked! But then, they go and take down the article links because apparently my name ain't cool enough for them. Whatever, man. I didn't even know that was against the rules.

But let's be real here, the rates they pay are absolute garbage. I've been writing for like 20 years and even when I first started out, I made more than the peanuts Textbroker throws at its writers. I mean, come on, 6 cents per word? That's a joke. And don't even get me started on the lower-paying assignments with other companies--they still pay WAY more than Textbroker.

Honestly, if you have literally no other options, go ahead and write for Textbroker. But if you have any self-respect or dignity whatsoever, avoid this scam like the plague. You're better off going out and finding your own clients because Textbroker is just gonna give you a bad time. Trust me.

So, picture this – you're looking to make some extra income by writing articles or content for websites. You come across textbroker.com and think it might be a good option. But, before you start submitting your work, you need to read the fine print. And let me tell you, what you find might surprise you.

If you decide to use textbroker.com, you are essentially giving up the ownership rights to your work. Yes, you read that right. The website's policy states that they will become the sole owner of the work and any income generated from it. In other words, they will copyright it to their name and use it however they see fit.

Now, some people might be fine with this arrangement. After all, if you're just looking to get some quick cash, why not let someone else worry about the marketing and distribution of your work? But, if you're a writer who takes pride in their craft and wants to truly own their work, textbroker.com might not be the best choice for you.

The thing is, if you retain ownership of your work, you have the ability to make a lot more money. You can self-publish your articles or books and keep all the profits. Or, you can seek out a publisher who will give you a fair royalty rate and allow you to maintain some control over your material.

But, if you choose to work with textbroker.com, you're giving up that control. They are free to submit your work to various mediums without your approval. And, let's be real, the payment you receive for your work might not be worth the loss of ownership rights.

In my humble opinion, textbroker.com is a prime example of the school yard bully who takes your apple and returns only a measly slice. Sure, they might pay you upfront for your work, but is it worth the long-term loss of ownership and potential earnings?

If you're a writer who wants to truly own their work and make the most money possible, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Take the time to invest in yourself and your writing career. Don't settle for less than you deserve.

So, I've recently started writing for the website called Textbroker and boy, did I have an experience to share! I was assigned to write a 250 word description for a client and you wouldn't believe what happened next! The proofreader who checked my article was so caught up in technicalities that I felt like I was back in college and being graded on an exam. They were so critical about every single punctuation mark and grammar rule that it left me feeling quite upset. I mean, I know constructive criticism is good and all but this was downright ridiculous!

Now, the thing that really grinds my gears is that I was already rated as a four-star author on Textbroker. So, obviously, I had done something right, right? But this person with the red pen in their hand didn't seem to think so. In fact, they had the audacity to say that, "This order needs to be reworked for quality. There are too many errors present in this order for a 4-star order". I couldn't believe it! I mean, there was nothing wrong with the quality! It was up to par with my writing sample which got me the four-star rating in the first place. It was just a technical issue, nothing more.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for improving my writing skills. But if I have to deal with a personality like that every single time I write an article for a measly three bucks, then I might have to think twice about writing for Textbroker again. Who wants to write under that kind of pressure, am I right?

They closed my account after I reported a former roommate for defrauding them. She had 2 accounts using different names and possibly social security numbers. She also has several felony fraud charges that I wasn't aware of until I moved in with her. They insisted that I was logged into an account that wasn't mine when I submitted the complaint about her but I absolutely was not. I was on my own account that nobody else has ever used besides me. They won't actually talk to me, but they did collect the money from clients for work that I did and won't pay me for it. I'm sure their clients would love to know that they are making them pay for articles from an account they have deemed fraudulent. They won't even give me a chance to verify anything.

I want my account opened back up so I can at least get my money from it. I enjoyed writing for them and would love to do it again as long as they don't do something like this in the future.

hmmm not sure I want to go through their new verification process. I find it suspicious.
There's no one on the internet who has the right to get your ID information along with photos o you. Even if it's needed to get a verified account. I won't do it. No. I have no idea what you're gonna do with this information I will provide: will you just check it and delete or will you keep it in your database?

I'm disappointed to the innermost of my heart. I have worked for them for several years, wrote tons of good quality articles and was driven away when just one of the articles didn't satisfy them at all. They blocked me. For what? This brings me to tears. I used neither abusive language nor low-quality methods... And all of the clients were pretty much happy.

Client refused to pay and TextBroker did nothing to help me!
I was working for TextBroker for about a month and had a high rating there. My topics were great and my work always received 5 or 4 star rating. One day I was hired to write a topic and after I finished the job client said he was really satisfied with the quality and promised I'll get my money any time soon. That never happened! He just stole my work and run! When I contacted TextBroker customer service and explained what happened they really did not care! They did absolutely nothing. That's why I decided to cancel my account and will never work there again!

I registered for free on the website www.textbroker.com. I thought that it was perfect work for me, so I started to write different articles and content. I worked really well, but once the rep told me that they couldn’t pay me and asked to wait for 4 days. After that these jerks stopped to communicate with me and they haven’t paid. No idea what the hell happened. They are liars and scammers, so be careful and better avoid them. As well as post comments about your experience with them.

I ordered a press release. Order was ignored. I emailed support and was told that the writers can decide if they want to accept or reject assignments. I thought it was canceled due to the response of support. I had the order fulfilled by another company. That release was published and distributed. 63 days later, textbroker fulfilled the original order. 63 days! I went to close my account but they have a no refund policy. I've found better writers on craigslist.
