    Textbroker asks you for a writing sample for their editors to review before you begin writing. They use this to assign you to a writing level - 2, 3 or 4 stars. The higher your rating, the higher pay rate you receive on a per-word basis. The 5-star rating is reserved for professional writers, provides the highest pay rate, and it is possible for you to excel to that level. The prompt is pretty simple, but be sure to keep an eye out for grammar, word flow and spelling to ensure your highest possible rating. [3]

    After the initial rating email is received, you may log in and browse through a wide range of topics and assignments posted by third-party clients. Specific instructions will be given with the assignment along with a word range and payment range depending upon the number of words written. Choose an assignment, do your research if necessary, and write! After your first five articles are written, they will have to be reviewed by Textbroker editors before you can continue on. After that, you can write as many as you like.

    Each article you write for a client through Textbroker will be reviewed by Textbroker editors and given a rating of 2 to 5 stars. You can always write articles that have a lower rating requirement than your own, but be sure not to do too much of this. For example, if you are a 4-star writer and you write a 2-star article, the highest rating that article can receive is 2 stars. You will also only earn 2-star pay.
    • Your overall rating is always based upon the last five articles you have written that have gone through review. It is possible to move down a level - thus sacrificing the number of assignments available to you and lowering your pay potential.

    Does the text broker take out taxes for state or federal in the USA?

    They take no taxes. You may have to file a 1099 if the earnings are over $100.

      Tips

      • Stick to subjects you know at least something about. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, it will come through in your writing, and you risk either article rejection or time spent doing a re-write. Plus, you won’t have to waste your time researching. That’s not to say it isn’t good to stretch your wings as a writer and try something new - just do so with caution.
        Thanks
