Textbroker UK – Now Hiring UK, Canadian, and Australian Writers
Textbroker UK - Another Writing Egg
You may now be able to make money writing with Textbroker even if you’re not in the USA. Why? They’ve launched Textbroker UK.
I’ve always been a firm believer in having as many income ‘eggs’ as possible. So, I signed up for Textbroker US a few years ago and after I got accepted I realised that I could never work for them as I wasn’t in the USA. But effective today, Dec 1, 2011, Textbroker UK launches and offers other English writers an opportunity to write for cash online. Through the Textbroker UK portal, you can sign up, write a sample, and get approved for writing assignments with UK, Australian, and European clients.
Textbroker UK Facts:
- Your first sample receives a grade from 2 to 5, which will determine your rating and how much money you earn.
- Your rating can go up or down depending on performance
- You can write at your rating and for lower ratings
- There are direct order possibilities if Textbroker clients like your work and you can create a profile and have Textbroker clients choose you as well
- You can also set your price within their marketplace
- Pay for Textbroker UK is in Euros and is listed at once monthly via PayPal only. (If you need help setting up PayPal or want to understand how long it takes to do PayPal transfers I’ve got info on this blog: PayPal setup and PayPal transfer timeline). Minimum payout is 10 Euros and you need to request payout in their system.
How much does Textbroker UK Pay?
According to their website as of Dec 1, pay rates are:
Textbroker 2 Star – 3.5 Euro
Textbroker 3 Star – 4.5 Euro
Textbroker 4 Star – 6 Euros
Textbroker 5 Star – 20 Euros
My experience:
I applied last night and got accepted at a 4 star rating after writing 1 sample (120-250 word, unpaid but they don’t take the rights and don’t publish the sample). They reviewed my sample overnight. Will I write for them? I’ll definitely check out available topics and consider using them for gap-filling work.

Can You Earn Money from Clinical Trials?
If you’re looking for ways to make money from home, you might be wise to look at several potential options. Beyond selling products or services or telecommuting, you might be interested in another type of opportunity that could pay you and that could even help advance medicine. There have been cases of people participating in medical areas to supplement their income. You’ve probably heard of egg harvesting, selling your blood, and selling sperm. But there are other areas you might be interested in as well.
Paid Clinical Trials
Some companies recruit for volunteer or for paid clinical trials. In the paid clinical trial, options will be listed for people with various health issues, from various age groups, and might be limited to a specific gender or other issue. Some trials are on a volunteer basis only and others do pay base on variables that include: time involvement, number of visits, and so on. Most paid clinical trials pay at the end of the period, which will vary, depending on the study. It’s important to note that not all clinical trials will provide reimbursement.
In some clinical trials you’ll be taking medication and in some cases, you’ll be altering specific lifestyle habits. In most clinical trials there is a set number of participants that take a placebo instead of a medication that’s in a research and development stage. Clinical trials can be available for patients dealing with a specific medical problem as well as for the general public. Some areas that could be covered could include: Diabetes, Heart Disease, Breathing disorders and other conditions as well. The company Parexel often recruits for the aforementioned conditions.
Clinical Trials Aren’t for Everyone
While trials are carefully regulated, paid clinical trials aren’t for everyone. Specific directions must be followed to a tee and participants do take on risk of side effects from new medication and treatment therapies. In some cases, people participate and see no results whatsoever due to receiving a placebo. Companies and their staff work very closely with participants to monitor reactions and do their best to minimise adverse effects. In most cases, people are given as much information as is available to help them make a decision about whether or not they want to participate and are typically expected to sign a waiver due to taking on risk.
Before being approved to participate, you’d be subjected to rigorous testing to ensure you meet the requirements of the study and to ensure that you are in optimal health, thereby reducing your risk of problems. If you’re interested in learning more about the possibilities of participating in volunteer or paid drug trials, consider visiting http://www.drugtrial.co.uk/.
Paid clinical trials might not be an abundantly available option for working from home but when looking at all of your options for making money either full time or part time, this might be an area you’re interested in investigating. Not only could it help your own health but you could be a participant in shaping the future of medicine (and any money paid for a clinical trial payment could be a nice bonus).
