Textbroker - high paying writing job for US only

Textbroker is another of those paying writing jobs that is only available to US residents. Textbroker pays you per word depending on your writing quality, and here are the writing payments rates

2 star writers get 0.7 cent per word, so writing one thousand words daily would earn you $7
3 star writers get 1 cent per word, so writing one thousand words daily earns them $10
4 star writers get 1.4 cent per word, so writing one thousand words earns them $14
5 star writers get a modest 5 cents per word, so writing one thousand words earns them $50.

$50 a day for one thousand words is a reasonable amount for a freelance writer to be paid, although in order to become a 5 star freelance writer at textbroker you will need to ensure that your written articles are of the highest quality with no spelling mistakes, typos or grammatical errors. Writing quality is calculated over your previous 5 articles. However if you are a 5 star writer and you choose a level two article then you will be paid as a level 2 writer, ie 1 cent per word, so please ensure you take this into account when writing to certain articles.

Textbroker also lets you set your own payment rate, so that you can bypass bidding for article jobs, although textbroker charges a 25% commission fee, so take this into account when setting your price. Textbroker pays you once your accoutn reaches $10.

By using the different ways to earn Textbroker can turn into a nicest enough paying writing job.

Where do your freelance writing earnings come from?

Freelance writing is a full time job for many freelance writers while for others like myself it is a way to earn some extra dollars on a monthly basis through both active and passive means.

There are many different types of freelance writer jobs:-

1) Writing for revenue sharing sites such as Helium, Associated Content, Triond, Bukisa. These tend to be the lowest paying freelance writer jobs available to freelance writers, however the competition for these type of jobs is very low.

2) Writing for higher upfront payments on sites such as Constant Content, Personalmoneystore, Brighthub,Demand Studios and others. These sites pay much mroe money and on Constant content you can actually set your own prices as well as the rights to your article.

3) Writing for individual clients. These clients can be found on online job sites such as elance, getafreelancer, odesk, problogger and through forums. If you build up a good reputation and produce quality work then there is a good chance a client will keep returning to you with more work.

4) Google adsense. Earning through google adsense is an excellent way to earn residual income, whether it be from your website, blog, or google adsense revenue sharing sites. My favourite google adsense revenue sharing site has got to be Xomba. I also maintain a niche website, Heart Facts.

5) Paid blogging. Some paid blogging jobs can offer as much as $50 per blog post, a pretty lucrative industry.

6) Writing your own ebook. If you are knowledgable about something then you can share it in an ebook. You can advertise your ebook on your niche specific website or on ebay or affiliate sites such as Clickbank.

These are just some examples of freelance writing jobs online, and the opportunites open to freelance writers. Currently most of my income comes from revenue sharing sites and google adsense.

Associated Content- can I reach clout 10 by the end of 2009

As you know I love participating in revenue sharing sites and Associated Content is another one where I spend some time. As I am from the UK I do not receive upfront payments on this site so all my articles are submitted as display only and I earn from performance payments. Currently I only have 20 articles published, a clout index of 4, and under 3000 page views and receive $1.50 per thousand views. In order to get to clout 10 and earn $2 per thousand views I need 1 million page views, so I am 998 000 or so short.

However as you are entitled to up to 200% bonus on your page views if you have 200 articles, you can gain clout levels much faster. My page views are currently around 2300 and I have 20 articles so I get 20% bonus on them meaning my clout index is based on 2760 views. As I publish more content more page views will come, and a higher percentage will be added on to my page views. If I had 200 articles I would have over 6000 page views and would be on clout 5.

To get to clout 10 as soon as possible I will be writing 180 more articles relatively quickly. I would only need 333 333 page views with 200 articles to reach clout 10, doesnt seem as bad as 998 000 page views.
