Introduction to Grandma

My first paid job as a copywriter was for a radio station in my college town, in 1969. I was their first paid copywriter and they were fairly new, but destined to become the number one station in town for many years. I loved it from day one!

One thing that I remember being told by my boss was to never use the word great. He basically said it was meaningless. I still rarely use that word and almost never without thinking of his advice.

Following the radio station, I went on to write for other radio stations, television stations and advertising agencies. I became Continuity Director for the local television giant, and eventually formed a partnership, had my own companies and a few websites. Now I am a freelance writer for website content online.

My first brush with Textbroker was in August, 2008. I made about $56 in a week and thought that was fun. The following year I averaged about $700 a month income just from Textbroker. They pay quickly and accurately, which is a big plus. One always wonders if online companies are on the level.

Income varies with what is written and how much each article pays. I began as a 3 writer, was promoted to a 4 writer, and eventually got the treasured 5 star designation. This allowed me to make a decent pay rate that, based on my background and experience as a professional writer, is satisfying.

I continue to enjoy writing for Textbroker. Everyone has a different personal situation. Right now, mine allows me ample time to cultivate part time income from this resource. It works for me and I do like the variety of assignments. It is supplemental income; I find it difficult to believe that a person could consistently acquire a high income from just this source. There is one Textbroker writer who apparently did earn about $4000 in one month, but I seriously cannot see how that could be done on a consistent basis.

However, just when I am still in doubt of the facts, I find that this month I am having a banner month and could possibly reach an end pay of about $2000.
