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.

[...] I received an email last night from Textbroker, who announced their new UK site. English writers outside the USA can now apply to write for Textbroker who pays once monthly and offers what looks like a wide variety of content mill work paying in Euros via PayPal once a month. I’ve provided a bit more information at The Work at Home Blog – Textbroker UK. [...]
I also applied and got a 3 star rating. Can’t seem to get to the assignment board though. are they fully operational?
Hi Denis, I put in a support ticket because I couldn’t view the assignment board and it turns out they’ve been accepting new writer applications so far but the job board isn’t open yet. It looks like Texbroker UK will start taking client orders on Dec 12, 2011 and then I’m guessing the assignment board will open up to approved writers.
I joined and got a 3 star rating .. As it was new there weren’t many jobs but I grabbed one and got an excellent rating from the client. For a couple of days I refreshed the browser and there were no category 3 jobs only cat 4 so I emailed them to ask them to reconsider my rating as it was also obvious from their perspective that there weren’t enough writers to fulfil that cat 4 jobs that were being posted. I got upgraded and did a couple of cat 4 jobs only to have those marked down to a cat 3 (use of commas apparently) …Now I’m back as a cat 3 writer but can’t move from that as there are never any cat 3 jobs available but lots of cat 4, many of which have been sitting there for days. I’ve just checked the site and at the moment there are 20 cat 4 jobs and nothing else
Sorry to hear that, Charlie. Sounds very frustrating! They’ve been taking client orders for about a week so hopefully you’ll start to see more Cat 3 assignments soon.
