Today has been 1 month since I signed up with Textbroker and began my "Freelancing Career". Here is the rundown so far. I have completed 11 articles and made just over $55. Okay, okay, I did tell you from the beginning this was not a get-rich-quick scheme. I am looking at it as a learning experience, and if I can make a little extra cash in the process, well, okay.
I have managed to keep my 4 star rating. I did score a 3 on one of the articles, and learned a valuable lesson about writing for overseas clients. Sometimes, your style of English and grammar is not pleasing to everyone out there. No matter how perfect the article turns out, if the client is not happy, you will not be happy. The 3 star rated articles is also the only article revision I have been requested to make.
Textbroker sees this predicament with the author/client relationship, and gave us some tools to help. You can blacklist any client you feel you no longer want to write for and that clients work will no longer show up for you to see. This is beneficial when you are searching through a sea of available work, only to stumble across a client you know you can't work with.
I have also watched a slow process in my residual site, List My Five. In one week, I have submitted 12 lists and made less than $0.15. Still, pennies are still adding up from my first list, so I imagine if I can stick with it and add to it every day, eventually I can make a little from this site. I'm not giving up just yet!
That about sums up my first 30 days. Check back for more updates.
