You might remember our posts from late last year regarding Textbroker and the great opportunity the site provides for those working from home. If you haven't read the posts be sure to go check them out.


One of the complaints Ryan had in his original blog posts was that Textbroker only offers once per month payments. As long as you submitted your request for payment by the 5th you generally received payment by the 6th. I don't know about you but we like getting paid more frequently than once a month. When you only get paid once per month it can put a damper on things, especially if you are counting on that money to survive. Most companies we work with pay weekly which is great. That means we won't have to go long between payments and if money is tight it will only be tight for a week.

Imagine our surprise when Ryan opened his email yesterday evening and found a message from Textbroker saying they would be inncreasing the frequency of payments at the request of their writers. The new system will work as follows:

Starting this month, pay-off requests made by the 20th will be paid between the 21st and the 25th. As before, pay-off requests made by the 5th will be paid between the 6th and the 10th. We usually process pay-offs the day after the cut-off, so late requests automatically roll over into the next pay period. Pay-off requests made on the July 21st will be paid out between August 6th and 10th.
