How To Scale Content Creation Affordably With Textbroker

It's still true that content is king, and high-quality content is the first thing you’ll need if you want to build a successful website.

Unless you're a good writer or highly passionate about a topic, creating content by yourself may not be the best way to use your time.

However, working with individual writers could be slow & time-consuming as well.

Luckily, there's a way to solve all those problems.

In this post, I'll introduce you to a content service that I've been using quite heavily for the last few months with some tips to leverage it to scale your content effectively.

Introducing Textbroker

Textbroker is a massive content writing platform where you can get your content created fast by qualified writers.

If you do it right, you’ll be able to find the writers who may actually have experience in your niche. This can make content quality even better.

There are 4 service levels you can choose from:

I usually go with the 4-star option ($0.024/word) because it provides the perfect balance between content quality and cost.

Anything less than 4-star is usually not good enough while most starter sites couldn't afford 5-star writers ($0.072/word).

Why You Should Be Using Textbroker?

1. Textbroker provides affordable but good quality content

I wrote about the different options to outsource content creation before but a lot have changed since then.

Two years ago, it was common to get a 500-word article created for under $5 by non-native writers.

This type of content was average and loaded with grammar mistakes.

My sites were doing just fine because it was incredibly easy to rank back then with all the backlinking automation tools.

But it's no longer the case for 2016.

If you want to rank high and stay there consistently for years, you need to create remarkable or, at the very least, good content.

If you're wondering, here's my definition of good content:

By using Textbroker's 4-star writers, I get exactly those things at a very affordable rate.

2. Textbroker is designed to scale

Their massive pool of talented writers will be enough to help you get content created in almost any topic.

Their robust management system also allows you to work with multiple projects, writers, and articles at once.

For example, I create one project for each of my websites, and I usually order 10-20 articles at once, which save me a lot of time.

3. Textbroker has amazing customer support

Tickets are usually replied to within 24 hours and all my requests have been handled with care.

I even asked for refunds of remaining balance one time and they were kind enough to do it without any question.

Textbroker vs iWriter​

The way IWriter works is similar to Textbroker, but the per word rate is lower. Here's a comparison to give you a better idea.

While some other friends are able to get content created as cheap as $5 per article, I personally don't get good results from the platform.

The biggest thing that turned me away is that they have no customer support at all! I sent several tickets regarding my login issues, and yet no one answered.

And a few days later, I got an automated email asking me to rate their support (???).

So the verdict is that you can try iWriter if you want, but my honest recommendation is to stay with Textbroker for better content and experience.

How To Order Content From Textbroker

First, you need to get an account (not an affiliate link).

After logging in, hover over Assignment then click New Order. From there, you’ll be presented with 4 options:

Since this will be the first time you’ll be using the platform, you can choose to place an Open Order.

Then fill in the order information according to your project. Here's an example:

I usually turn the SEO Options off because I don't want the writers to excessively think about it so that they can write naturally.

For Processing time, 2 days are usually enough for a writer to research and write a decent article.

Please note that this is not the guaranteed time that you'll get your article. It can be sooner or later, depending on the writer.

Order Title and Order Description are the most important parts, and you need to get them right to make sure the output's quality is great.

1. Never just enter a keyword in Order Title. This is very important. Make sure to come up with a good one that's catchy.
2. Your description needs to be very detailed on exactly what you want to have in the article.

A generic description will not give you good results here. Spend time to create a detailed brief. It should be clear about :

1. Your editorial & writing guidelines
2. Article outline.

Next, click on Calculate Order.

Now, you’ll be able to see the Maximum cost of your article.

Open a new tab. Go to Account >> Deposit Funds and deposit the exact amount you need or a bit higher.

Come back to the old tab and Place Binding Order. You're done!

Now, you just need to wait for a few days to get the article. Once you receive it, check it carefully to make sure you get what you want, then either request a revision or accept it.

Once in a while, you'll get a really bad article from a new 4-star writer. If this happens don't hesitate to Decline it and the Textbroker team will make sure you get another writer.

3 Tips To Get The Most Out Of Textbroker

I've spent thousands of dollars with Textbroker, and here are my top 4 tips to help you get the most out of it.

1. Be clear and detailed on exactly what you want

I have already said it, but I’ll say it again.

Without a good detailed description, you'll never get good content from Textbroker.

Also, you could leave rooms for the writers to come up with their own ideas but using content templates would improve the content even further. 

I’ll share more detailed templates inside my course AMZ Affiliate Bootcamp which is going to be released soon.

2. Create a niche-focused team and invite your favorite writers to join

I usually do 5 - 10 Open Orders at a time to test and find good writers that can follow my instructions and have experience in the topic.

Then, I invite them to join the team.

Later on, if I need content, I can just send orders to my vetted team and know that they will do a great job for me.

3. Get to know your writers through Private Messaging

Although Textbroker doesn't allow us to communicate with the writers outside of their platform, we still need to maintain a good relationship with our team members.

Simply send them a direct message and initiate a small chat about their background.

You can also use this opportunity to explain to your writers more about your project.

I found this very helpful in developing a better working relationship with them and in motivating them to provide better outputs.

Conclusion

Investing in good quality content is becoming more and more important these days, and it's proven to be worthwhile.

If you're needing a fast and affordable way to scale your content, Textbroker is highly recommended.
