TextBroker Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Ever since launching my copywriting skills and talents with the digital marketing platform Textbroker, I've been able to earn higher status rankings with every job. Their support team is exceptional and their editing team is top-notch. The team at Textbroker doesn't miss a beat, which is why they rule."

"Stay away from Textbroker, writers! The powers that be at Textbroker expect the Queen's English; however, they pay their best writers peanuts. Seriously, you will not be paid more than a nickel a word as a five-star (i.e., best of the best) writer at Textbroker unless you're part of a team that writes for a client who wants lots of very specific content. Even if you are deemed worthy of being part of a team, you probably still won't get much more than a nickel a word, and that's if you're extremely lucky. Another thing: Those slightly better paying team gigs are few and far between at Textbroker. Without them, the most you will earn is a nickel a word as a five-star writer, 1.4 cents per word as a four-star writer, a penny a word as a three-star writer and even less as a two-star writer. Don't believe me? Google it! Most Textbroker newbies start out as three or four-star writers. Just how bad is selling content at such low rates? Picture yourself cranking out as many error-free 500-word articles as you can for a measly $5-7 a pop. Think about how much research, typing and revisions you may have to make just to earn that $5-7. Now imagine trying to pay for more than groceries each week with that kind of money. If you're a gifted writer and think becoming a five-star writer will be a piece of cake, think again. You have to pass a very difficult exam before the editors will even consider reviewing your last 10+ articles, which can take months. And after the long wait, they will probably tell you that they're not going to promote you because they noticed that you did or did not use an Oxford comma, for example, in one of those articles. The fact that none of the reviewed articles were part of the exam is irrelevant at Textbroker. And no, it doesn't matter if your clients gave you glowing reviews. You used (or forgot to use) one Oxford comma. Apparently, something that minor means the rest of your work is subpar and you only deserve 1.4 cents per word."
