Earn Money Online From Home Working for Textbroker

If you truly have an interest is working from home as a writer, then you should definitely take a look at what “Textbroker” has to offer.   Textbroker has a loyal customer base and they hire writers at a reasonable price.  This is a great place to start if you are trying to break into the Work From Home Writing Business. 

Getting Started with Textbroker

Getting started is quite simple.  First, go to www.textbroker.com and signup for an account.  The signup form will require basic information such as your name, address and phone number. They will also have you fill out a tax form. If you don’t want to fill out a tax form, you can do it later.  For U.S. Citizens, I recommend you get an Employer Identification Number or EIN for short (Employer Identification Numbers are issued for the purpose of tax administration and are not intended for participation in any other activities (e.g., tax lien auction or sales, lotteries, etc.).  Applying for an EIN is free and simple.  However, it is not required.  However, if you don’t use an EIN, you will be required to provide your SSN.

After signing up, you apply for writing privileges. As a part of the screening process, you will be required to provide a writing sample based on a topic of  Textbroker’s choosing.  The better you do, the higher your rating and the more you get paid.

Your Profile

While you are waiting for Textbroker to review your sample, set up your profile by going to the profile page and answering the questions found at the tabs.   If you wish, you can include additional writing samples.

Note that you can set your rate for private clients but you need to reasonable or lose the job to someone else.  By default, Textbroker will set it at the same rate as your review but you are able to adjust the rate. 

Assignments

After you build a reputation for quality work, you will likely receive repeat business.  In fact, you will come across instances where a client will contact you directly. These direct orders will not appear in the general assignment board.  When this happens, you will be notified through both email and on your Dashboard that you have a direct order.

Team Work

If you like working with others, you apply to and join a team of writers based around a particular topic.  This can be very profitable and is especially good for new writers because once you are accepted into the team you are given the same pay and equal status as the other members of the team. 

Team writing doesn’t necessarily equate to making a lot of money, but it does help get work.

The Rating System

You will be rated based on your writing skill level.  The initial review of your article will give you a base rating.  If you are rated as at an average of 3, then you can only choose assignments from the 2 and 3 star categories.  To increase your ratings and pay, you need to consistently receive a rating between 4 and 5.  Don’t worry, if you get a low rating in the beginning, you can improve.
