Pluspunten

This company has several significant pros for freelance workers. I've worked for several months as a writer and have really enjoyed the unlimited work available, high pay and interesting assignments. There are almost always several thousand assignments available. You can easily exceed $20 an hour if you submit high-quality work very quickly. The assignments are pretty interesting, particularly if you love finance and copywriting.

Minpunten

Without the editor problem, I would totally give this company five stars. The editors are very inconsistent. Most people stay with the company because of high pay, but the editors are starting to get on my nerves. With the same writing style and same grammar mistakes, one editor will say "great job!" and another will reject my assignment. You may not be paid for a rejection. It's very frustrating. I usually have no real idea of what I did wrong. This is because the feedback is extremely vague. If I do know, I'm not likely to fix the problem if it drops my per-hour pay down to below $10. Low per-project pay encourages fast writing. Fast writing is NOT writing of the highest quality. If I spent two hours on a piece, it would be much better than the 30 minute articles I've pumped out for CS. Bussiness owners, do yourselves a favor and pay more if you need written articles and product descriptions. Give writers enough time to develop quality work and you will not be disappointed.

Pluspunten

Working for crowdsource.com allows me to work from home and choose my hours. The assignments are varied and interesting, with sufficient work available to earn quite well. They have always paid promptly, in 1-3 days via Paypal. None of my work has ever been rejected, and ample time was given for revision on those which required it prior to approval.

Minpunten

Sometimes the available work dwindles for a while - so while I would like for it to be more of a mainstay, I have to be on the lookout for additional work elsewhere in order to stay ahead of the game financially.

Pluspunten

- Good for quick pay when you need some extra cash - Many different topics to write about - Great forum with many sub-forums to connect with other writers and editors and get questions about specific projects answered.

Minpunten

- Bigger projects are few and far between. Most days there are only "Q&A" projects, which consist of answering a popular web search question. These start at $2.50 for a 100-word answer and $5 for a 200-word answer. This pay would be decent if the guidelines weren't so insane and it wasn't so time-consuming to research a proper answer. They aren't even close to being worth the pay. - Editing team is a disaster. Edits vary so drastically from person to person, you never really know which changes are correct. - Some editors will boycott projects if the queue is inundated with low-quality work, so certain projects can take an excessive time get edited. Cs could improve this by placing priority on certain projects before being able to edit others, but they don't. - Sub-par pay
