I have a small website (with a lot of potential), but I haven't been able to develop it due to the lack of time. Also, I'm busy working on my favorite site. I think I'm going to try TextBroker first.

I got a level 5 writer's response to one list article, and it was exactly what I wanted. I got a level 2 writer on the article (both were open to 2 to shoot for the bottom of the barrel just to see) and it was okay...but it was definitely not a writer. Maybe a newbie like you said. I never used these articles in their original format. I used to research and built my own articles out of them. I was curious. It gave me an interesting idea for when I hire an assistant. I don't really want a pre-written draft, but I would like some preliminary notes. It is helpful. I find that I get too distracted when I start researching something. Let me first indicate, however, that these articles were for personal projects. I feel that, as writers, we shouldn't straight out outsource work. That is, unless the client has an understanding that they are getting a team effort: either as collaborators or as several writers doing individual parts of a project. Just my hastily typed two cents! Have a good day, -Jessie I signed up for Textbroker as a client some time ago, just to see what I would get.
