Anyone in need of a content writer can use eCopywriters to stock websites with Web copy or to obtain marketing articles and other Web marketing materials from professional writers as well as part-time freelance writers.
Online Freelance Writing
Like TextBroker, cCopywriters posts multiple job opportunities and allows its pool of freelance writers to choose one online freelance writing job at a time. Each of the freelance writing jobs listed has a per-word rate listed as well as the type of assignment it is.
Also like Textbroker, the per-word rate that freelance writer get paid to write for each assignment depends on the writer’s level. There are five levels for eCopywriter freelance writers, similar to the Textbroker star rating system. Level 1 pays .018 per word, level 2 pays .02 per word, level 3 pays .03 per word, level 4 pays .04 per word and level 5 pays .05 per word.
Reaching a higher level requires a content writer to submit quality work that doesn’t need to be extensively edited. The content writer should also accept and submit projects often in order to be considered for a quick promotion to the next level. eCopywriters estimates the time for each promotion to be about three to four weeks, though the quality and the frequency of the submitted projects can change that timeframe.
Freelance Writing Jobs
Though having a low level results in relatively low-paying projects, levels 4 and 5 pay at a level comparable to many other Web content sites. Most eCopywriter levels pay more than the comparable levels on Textbroker, with only level 5 being equal to the same level at Textbroker.
Unlike Textbroker, there is no speedy turnaround time requirement for the clients. Acceptance of a project can take weeks. Freelance writers get paid to write every two weeks through PayPal for projects accepted during each pay period.
Clients who use eCopywriters to hire a content writer can ask for that writer to make revisions on the copy submitted to them. Editors who review the submissions can also make revisions, which may result in unwanted changes to any project. If extensive rewrites are repeatedly needed on a content writer’s work, that writer’s account may be closed by eCopywriters.
Benefits and Considerations for Content Writers
Though there is a wider variety of project types than many content writers are offered through the few main content-production sites, the low pay for freelance writers beginning on eCopywriters may turn away professional writers used to earning more. The full rights of projects written for eCopywriters are sold.
Though there are often freelance writing jobs available for the site’s freelance writers, that isn’t always the case. There are dry spells in which no titles are available. The advancement also depends on the site to provide a promotion of level without letting freelance writers see the individual scores for their work as Textbroker does.
