For performers: tasks to improve the level of skill. Etxt: Upgrading Your Skills and Getting Started Initially Why Lift Articles to Etxt

Registration on the exchange

First, you need to register a WebMoney wallet as explained in this video.

After that you go to the exchange ETXT.RU and register on the exchange as a performer. Registration is not difficult. You can specify any nickname, but it is better, of course, that customers can address you by a human name, and not as 23wert, for example ... Be sure to indicate the topics in which you understand (by the way, they can be changed later). Fill out the questionnaire to the maximum, indicate in it everything that may affect the customer's decision to choose you as the contractor.

If you have any questions, there is a forum on the exchange. There is also an online chat, but from my own experience I will say that it is not worth asking newbies there, it is better to do it on the forum. In the chat, venerable copywriters can laugh at your first attempts, and after all, not everyone, after ridicule, will decide to continue working.

In the left side column in the "Orders" section, look for the "Order Search" button. By clicking on it, you will be taken to a new page, it is here that you will look for tasks that suit you. Choose the type of work - copyright, rewriting, SEO-text, translation. Set acceptable price boundaries for you and go in search of orders. When you have found something suitable, click the "Apply" button. Do not send empty applications - write at least a couple of words why the customer should choose you as a contractor. For example, "entrust me with the task, and I will not deceive your expectations" or something like that. But be extremely careful: if, by submitting an application, you have already made a dozen mistakes, it will be difficult to convince the customer that you will write the perfect test.

How to write an article?

So, you have applied for the task you like. You received a notification that it was you who were appointed by the customer for this order as the executor.

Attention!!! Do not start writing an article until you receive this notification! The customer receives many applications from different performers, and he can choose a completely different copywriter as the performer for this order.

So, you have been chosen as a custom-made contractor. Now what? Open the Google or Yandex search engine, enter the main key from the task into the search box (about the keys - below). Thousands of articles are given to you on this topic. You read the first few of them, collect information and then present the topic in your own words, while maintaining the meaning. This is copywriting.

If on assignment you need to rewrite an article, then one specific source article is taken, and each of its sentences is stated in its own words, without losing its general meaning. The customer can give an article as a source code, or he can offer to find it for you.

We will also talk about text formatting below.

Attention, advice !!! When you write an article, save it as you write every 10-15 minutes. Anything can happen: maybe, for example, they turn off the light, and you will lose everything you have already written. Save your nerves and work - save the text often!

Check the finished article for the presence of keys, errors, uniqueness (about everything - below). Save the file and send the file through special form delivery of the order.

The better you write, the more you earn

Before starting work, I would advise you to rummage around the net, look for rules for the design of articles, read the blogs of famous copywriters. There are many nuances here that you must pay attention to. Without knowing them, you can make a mess and get a lot of negative reviews - this will close your way for further work.

The logic of the article

The article should look like: introduction, main part, conclusion. The customer can specify how many occurrences of the key he wants to see in each section. For example, in the first 200 characters of the text, there is 1 direct occurrence of the key. What are keys? This is complex topic, let's talk about this separately.

Key, keyword

A key is a phrase or word that must be used in the text a specified number of times. Usually the customer asks for it to be allocated bold.

How do I fit keys into the text? There are two options:

- you can immediately compose sentences so as to enter the key

- after the text is written, change the number of phrases specified in the assignment so that, without changing the meaning, insert the key into them.

It is impossible to use the key in the text less times than indicated in the assignment. More, if it fits logically, then it is possible, but you cannot overdo it with it. It is quite possible that the customer will not like this, as it is called "spamming".

Direct occurrence of a key is when a key (i.e. a phrase or word) is entered without change in the form (case, number, gender) in which it is given. You cannot change the key, even if the key is curved or with an error, this is called "direct entry". If the key is already very clumsy (for example, a Moscow car), but it needs to be written exactly as it is - without changing it, then you can put a comma, for example, make a sentence like

If you need a car, Moscow is not a very suitable place for such a purchase.

For example, I ask that the first direct occurrence be at the beginning of the text, in the first 200 characters. The rest - by meaning, are evenly scattered throughout the text (i.e. the keys cannot be entered one after another - they must be evenly spaced throughout the text). The customer can indicate how many times the main key can be used in an indirect entry (i.e. in a changed number, gender, case, with insertions of other words). He can also give additional keys, in addition to the main one, and indicate how many times and in what form they should be used in the text.

Remember that SEO - texts (i.e. with keywords) are more expensive, value your work.

1. Divide the articles into logical parts - paragraphs of 8-12 lines. Nobody is interested in reading diapers of text in several pages. We do a paragraph - two clicks with the ENTER key.

2. It is good if the text contains subheadings (with main keys), labeling or numbering (that is, 1 ... 2 ... 3 ...), tables.

3. The red line (indentation) is not necessary.

4. Try to avoid introductory words whenever possible, they are also called stop words (and not without reason!).

5. It is also not necessary to use diminutive suffixes such as "baby", "stroller", etc.

6. It is advisable to make sentences as short and easy to understand as possible.

7. If you want to express one thought, break it down into several simple sentences.

Uniqueness

A unique article is a text that has never been published on the Internet before. The ETXT exchange has a program for checking the uniqueness of the text, you can download it in the left menu in the "Services" section - "Check for uniqueness"... The program, as usual, is installed on the computer and runs without additional settings. Alternative program - Advego... Be sure to check with the customer what% of uniqueness he needs, and with what program he will check it.

If the article has not passed the anti-plagiarism test, no one will accept such work from you. The uniqueness according to ETXT anti-plagiarism should be at least 98%, and even better 100%. Otherwise, it turns out that you copied someone else's work. The customer, having posted such an article on his site, runs a great risk - his site will simply be blocked for copy-paste.

How to increase the% of uniqueness? Try to change the phrase so that the meaning is not lost, and the program does not find repetitions. In fact, this is a serious question, there are many nuances involved. I am now describing everything very briefly. If you are seriously interested in copywriting, it is worth exploring this issue deeper.

Article sizes

Now about the size of the articles. Customers themselves indicate the size of articles they need by the number of characters. To check the length of the article, go to the Word in the lower left corner in the "Number of words" tab. A window will open in which you will see how many words are in your text, how many characters it contains, including spaces and without spaces. Some particularly economical customers do not want to pay for passes and immediately indicate the size of the article without spaces in the order, be careful.

To submit an article with less than the required number of characters is not allowed, more - please, but keep in mind that you will hardly be paid extra for extra characters. Although, as a rule, the customer will always note for himself how well the work was done (he can put you on the white or black list, respectively). Extra symbols for you will only be a plus and an incentive for the customer to give you an order again.

Checking for errors in the text

Word has a built-in function for checking spelling errors. The F7 key in Word checks for errors - grammatical (for rules), commas, omissions (spelling errors will be underlined with a red wavy line, and punctuation - with green). If your text does not check errors, and nothing is underlined, then the spelling checker function in Word must be enabled.

We leave only one gap between the words - be careful and do not make unnecessary gaps (this is considered a mistake). Punctuation marks are put like this - for example,

- we, we (after the word there is no gap, comma, gap, second word).

It's the same with exclamation marks, question marks, periods. Unnecessary omissions are also considered a blunder here.

Don't confuse a dash and a hyphen.

Quotes and brackets are placed around text (like so)... Well, I won't write about commas, style and grammar - remember the rules, check it yourself. Google and Yandex will help you.

Remember, the F7 key does not show all errors - you have to think with your head. If there are a lot of errors, articles will be returned to you for revision until you fix everything. The job may not be accepted, and even a negative review will be written, and this should be avoided by all means.

Beware of scammers!

As elsewhere, there are people on the stock exchange who want to profit at someone else's expense. In other words, get the text from you and not pay for it. Remember the rule:

Never send a job privately to a customer. This is a fraud. The order will be taken, but the money will not be paid. Then, of course, you can prove your case through arbitration - but why? If it is already specified in the rules, submit the finished article only as a result of the completed order by filling out a special form.

Job rates

Payment is calculated based on the cost of 1 thousand characters of text (try typing a thousand characters of text in Word, this is about 1/3 of a Word page). Please note, as mentioned above, that the order immediately indicates whether the text is paid for with spaces or without them.

Most likely, beginners will have to write for some time at 15-30 rubles per thousand characters (slang - 15-30 rubles / kilo). SEO-texts, poems and translations are an order of magnitude higher.

Experienced copywriters charge an average of 100 rubles per thousand characters and more for their work. Those. for example, an article of 3 thousand characters (this is the size of one Word sheet) will cost the customer about 300 rubles and more. Cool copywriters have rates for selling texts that allow them to live comfortably and feel like a freelance elite). But before that you need to grow and gain experience.

To write an article with 3 thousand characters, an experienced copywriter will take at most an hour. So now calculate your possible income. If in an hour you write an article of 3 thousand characters at 15 rubles / thousand, then an hour of your work will cost 45 rubles.

On the day of such orders, you can take as much as you decide for yourself, how much you will keep up. For example, if you write 10 thousand characters for 15 rubles per day, then your daily income will be 150 rubles, and your monthly income will be 4500 even at first. And if the orders are not 15 rubles, but 50? And if 100? Have you counted? That's the same. Now you understand that everything depends only on you, your patience, desire to learn and efficiency.

Withdrawal of earned funds

So - drum roll! - the long-awaited moment comes when you have accumulated a sufficient amount in your account. You can send it for withdrawal. Minimum amount for withdrawal - only 250 rubles. Withdrawals are made within 5 working days to a WebMoney wallet, Yandex wallet or card.

When the money is transferred, you will receive a notification. You can withdraw an amount from a WebMoney wallet in many ways - for example, at a bank branch, transfer money to your bank card, phone, etc. You can learn more about all methods of withdrawing virtual money from WebMoney into real tangible rubles. on this page.

Artist rating

Rating is a kind of numerical indicator of the level of professionalism and experience. Both performers and customers have a rating. It is clear that the higher the rating, the more trust you have, the more expensive orders you will be trusted. However, from my own experience, I can say that you can often find performers with thousands of ratings on the exchanges who send complete rubbish. Conversely, low-ranked newbies sometimes submit excellent, easy-to-read, and literate articles. The same goes for customers. That is, in this case, the rating, as they say, "trust, but verify."

The rating is calculated as follows: for example, an order costs 30 rubles. When you hand over the completed work, the customer will accept it, after 3 hours 30 rubles will fall on your account - minus the percentage of the exchange. 3 units will be added to your rating. It is rounded up on the principle to 5 downwards, after 5 upwards, i.e. if the order costs 24 rubles, then 2 units will be added to the rating, and if 26 - then 3.

Attention!!! If you take the order to work, and then refuse, or the customer himself removes you from the order, then the rating will drop by -30 !!! Therefore, NEVER refuse an order! Better not to take it if you are not sure that you can complete it, but do not refuse. Otherwise, your rating will be downgraded (at your initial stage, it will become negative). And this will close you access to all more or less paid orders.

Deadline for delivery

Make it a rule once and for all - to hand over the work on time. Never miss a due date - this is very important. Not all customers are loyal and add time at the request of the contractor. Some, if the article is not submitted on time, simply remove you from the order. Then you can no longer add the text. You will no longer receive the money, and your rating will drop. It is useless to ask such customers for a delay or extension. Therefore, in order not to run into trouble, it is better to immediately accustom yourself to hand over orders on time.

Mastery levels

In your account in the left side column there is a section "Mastery levels". What it is? This is a free test task, which is checked by the philologists of the exchange. As a result of the test in best case you can get 3 stars. This is a great recommendation for customers about your professionalism, even more valuable recommendation than a high rating. But from my own experience, I will say that getting at least one star is a great success. By what criteria are the texts assessed - "the secret of the firm", as they say. Even after the proofreading of my text by two philologists, I, as a performer, was given only one star.

Stars can be obtained separately for rewriting, copyright and SEO copyright (i.e. working with keys), translations. But I would not recommend starting with this. Better to practice on a dozen articles - settle down a little, get to know everything. The test task can be taken and retried as many times as you like and when it is convenient for you (in my opinion, with a week's break - I don’t remember exactly).

So try it, maybe your result will be better? I must say that it is not necessary to pass the test task - you will have orders anyway. But the presence of "stars" will significantly increase the credibility of you as a performer.

It seems that this is all. If something is not clear - ask, how I can - I will help. Good luck with your work!

I recently registered on your site. What do I need to do to get started?

There are several options for getting started on the Exchange. First, you can complete a test assignment for the type of work you have chosen and get a qualification, which will increase your chances that customers will choose you as a Contractor.
You can also submit orders for the orders you are interested in (and work with these orders if you are chosen as the Contractor) - section View all orders - and place ready-made articles for sale - section Add article. We draw your attention to the fact that placing articles for sale is possible only with a rating of at least 10 points and / or with an amount of at least 100 rubles. on the balance sheet (these are restrictions for users who do not yet have a rating).
You can also post an ad offering your services - this can be done in the "My Ads" section (paid service - cost - 10 rubles).
Good luck on the Exchange!

I registered on the site, they wrote to me: "a message came to the mail with a link to activate." The message did not arrive. I tried to register again, they wrote to me that this address was banned.

The fact is that your account has not been activated yet. To activate it, you should follow the link contained in the letter that was sent to specified address Email.

After the phone is linked to your account, you can enable SMS authorization. There are several SMS authorization options. You can select the desired option in the Interface Settings / Security Settings section.

The speed of receiving SMS with the code of linking the number to the account depends on the work of your mobile operator. Sometimes the code arrives almost instantly, sometimes you need to wait a few hours.

I have a problem with authorization on the site. I enter my username and password, but the system throws me to the main page - again a window appears for entering the username and password on the top right. When you try to enter, the system does not react in any way, the page is simply refreshed. What is it connected with and what to do?

In this case, you should write a message to the "feedback". The administration will either unblock your account before the first violation of the rules (possibly with a penalty downgrade), or will leave the decision on your blocking unchanged.
Also, immediate blocking threatens users who place orders and articles that contradict the Exchange Agreement, as well as place orders and buy articles "to themselves" in the status of a Customer / Contractor in order to boost the rating.
In the event of the final blocking of the account, the administration of the Exchange transfers the balance of funds to the wallet upon request for feedback.

You can, but only with the permission of the Customer.

How do I remove a work from my portfolio?

Go to the portfolio and click on the cross-shaped icon (on the right) in the work you want to delete.

The rating is calculated and removed AUTOMATICALLY when the Customer accepts the order / the Contractor refuses the order, buys the article / cancels the order or sells the article by the administration at the request of the Customer / Buyer.
The rating of the Customer and the Contractor is increased if the Customer accepts the work or purchases an article by a number of units equal to 10% of the cost of the order / article, rounded up to 10.
If the Contractor refuses the order or the Customer cancels the overdue order, the Contractor's rating will decrease by the cost of the order, rounded up to 10. The rating is removed AUTOMATICALLY, without the participation of the administrator, moderators and Customers.

Only you and your interlocutor have access to the chat in private, it is not visible to other users.

How can the Contractor restore the lowered rating?

If the rating downgrade was not the fault of the Customer, then the decision to restore the rating is made by the Customer. To return the reduced points, the Contractor must write to the Customer, then send a fragment of the correspondence confirming consent.

The Contractor's rating can be restored without the consent of the Customer if the order was not completed due to a reason related to the actions of the customer (due to changes in the original requirements of the assignment, ignoring the messages of the contractor in private, etc.)

Why can't I write to the user in private?

Why was my user review removed?

In my statistics it is written: 80 users have white lists, 5 users have black lists. What are these white and black lists and what do they mean?

"White" and "black" lists are created for the convenience of users.
You can add to the whitelist, for example, Artists with whom you liked to collaborate. In the future, the Customer will be able to place orders that are available for viewing and submitting applications only for the Executors of his white list, or give individual orders to its participants. If the Customer has a block of users on the site displayed at the bottom of the page, then users from the white list will be highlighted in color. This greatly speeds up the search for the Contractor.
The "Black List" is a kind of filter for users with whom you would not like to work. Executors added by the Customer to the blacklist will never be able to apply for his orders. Blacklisting from Customers whose account has been blocked is not recorded in the statistics.
Attention!!! You can add any user to the blacklist, even those with whom you have never worked or even communicated. So in some cases, the blacklist is not an indicator, for example, of the Contractor's qualifications, who could be in an emergency not only for refusing an order, ugly style, poor-quality work, many unsuccessful improvements, errors in the text from the author's portfolio, but also for refusal from cooperation, disrespectful attitude towards other users, negative comment on the order.
The Exchange administration plans to refine the emergency and BS functionality.

When filling out the form, try to describe the situation as accurately as possible.

If you are submitting an application on the topic "Working with an order", provide the name of the order and the login of the contractor / customer (or the address of the order if there are several orders with the same name). Do not send the text of the completed work. The moderator has access to view the results of the work sent for review on the order, including the previous revisions, as well as the customer's comments written when the order was sent for revision. If the question is related to the ordering interface and you cannot find an option, please send a screenshot.

When conflict situation with another user, provide quotes from the full text of the correspondence with the user from private chat, the name of the joint order that caused the conflict, and other necessary data in order to present a complete picture of the events that took place.
In case of refusal from the purchased article, give the reason for refusal: the address of the web page on which the original article was found or matching fragments from the text, quotations of the text containing errors, or describe the reason for refusing the article.

In the application for disputing the review, please send the name of the order for which you received negative review, the full text of the correspondence with the customer from private.

If you are a customer and want to refuse the services of the contractor who is fulfilling the order for you, give the reason for the refusal, support it with quotes from the text or specify exactly which requirements specified in the description of the order the contractor did not fulfill. If the text is of low uniqueness, send the address of the page where matches were found and the percentage of matches.

If the moderator asks leading questions in the application, write the answer in the same application - do not create a new application.

Hello dear readers! Pavel Yamb is in touch and by the nature of my work I communicate a lot with people who want or are already writing articles to order. It's amazing how different people go to copywriting: teachers, students, schoolchildren, a mother with four children and a grandmother with 7 grandchildren.

And just recently I got into a conversation with a colleague - she is studying to be a criminalist - a psychologist. Can you imagine? And he moonlights on the Etxt exchange. Considering that I know her quite well, I decided to give her the floor on my blog and she will tell you how to earn several "stars" on this content exchange (here are instructions for it) and improve at least the "rewriting" qualification at the initial stage. Will only rant on the topic - I promise!

How I stepped on a text rake

I'll start with a quick background story so that you understand what the secret is!

When I stuck my face on the stock exchange, my personal messages were torn from customer suggestions. I will say for those who have not registered yet - you will also have it.

The payment was ridiculous - 5p / 1000 symbols. And you know what? I took these orders and was happy at first.

Then it was decided to take on a task to improve rewriting skills. Fortunately, there is no need to think about what to write about. The topic can be selected from the list presented on the exchange.

I wrote, checked, sent. A day later, a letter came - the qualification level was NOT raised. I think, “Okay. I'll try again in two weeks. " When the time came, I took on another assignment. After the moderators were sent to the court, she shook like an aspen leaf. And again failure, fiasco, FATAL ERROR.

Do you think you dropped your hands? NO. How am I (or you) worse than other performers who have orange stars on their pages for every job? Nothing, maybe even better.

Now the whole point

After the discovery, the thought flashed: “Oh, horror! Experienced copywriters are degrading! ”, But then it became clear that they are real cunning. Short sentences - minimum commas. Namely on these squiggles the moderators pay the closest attention.

And now, the third attempt. Rewriting assignment, topic: "Properties of stretch ceilings". I ask you to read the screenshot and see in what form the tasks are sometimes given.

Well, isn't it lovely? A very nice sheet. And you need to make a beautiful article out of it. So let's earn stars by rewriting! How? Let's look at my example.

Boring but necessary rules

• high uniqueness (from 90% for eTXT);
• no mistakes - spelling / stylistic / grammatical;
• the length of the finished text (minimum - 1800 characters with spaces). But for each work it is indicated individually.

These requirements are basic and must be fulfilled! Now, let's slowly and thoughtfully read the sample text above. This is for later drawing up a plan. Have you studied? Ok, let's move on.

Divide and collect

This bed sheet is 3500 bp characters long, and the minimum of a finished article on the assignment is 2500 with spaces... We will shorten the text, but first make a plan:

1. Introduction - blue.
2. Installation and properties of stretch ceilings - yellow.
3. The colors are green.
4. Benefits - not highlighted.
5. Foreign manufacturers - gray.
6. Russian manufacturers - dark gray.
7. The short conclusion is pink.

Now the text is split in meaning. It's time to start writing an article. What did you think? Let's get a little bit stirred up.

A very useful practice

Are you ready for work and defense? Then we will come up with a title (you can do this after writing the article) and start processing the introduction. The sentences there are too complex, they need to be simplified.

Is it clear how? Concise, simple and informative. Let's go to the next item, which is highlighted in yellow. The task is more difficult - the thought in the text is broken, but it doesn't matter. Now we will put it together so as not to lose its meaning.

Item "colors" highlighted in green, consists of one long sentence. Let's break it down into a few short ones.

And here are ours, i.e. ceiling benefits. There are quite a few of them, but you need to highlight the most basic ones and arrange them with a list. And add the rest at the end of the block.

Attention! In test work, there must be at least one sentence before and after the list. It's beautiful!

Manufacturers are also designated by a list. One of the ceiling properties has been added at the end of this block. As you can see, the article looks boring due to the lack of a lot of stop words that give the text liveliness. But we don't need it for fun.

And the very last block - domestic manufacturers and a brief conclusion.

If you made up your mind and took on an assignment for advanced training - great! I advise you to read the written article aloud from start to finish. If you stumble at some point, then read it again. Perhaps the sentence should be rephrased?

And I should tell you a little about checking the finished article. In order not to spend hard money on the exchange to find out the uniqueness, it is better to download the eTXT anti-plagiarism program. Before checking, configure the basic parameters as follows:

1. operations;
2. settings / general;
3. rewrite detection method and click OK.

Look at the screenshot - this is what you should see.

By the way, it is by these parameters that the articles on the exchange website are checked when placing an order / test work / publication for sale. Set it up correctly and you won't get trashed by low uniqueness.

That's all, dear readers. The text was finished, and I got stars - not 3, but only 2.

Do you know what mistakes I made? Find and write a comment. And if it doesn't work out, send it to your friends on social networks and check the screenshots of the article together.

I wish you good luck and orange stars!

The cost of work and the number of orders on many exchanges is seriously related to the copywriter's rating. It is formed for a long time based on the cost orders accepted and each author tries to protect this indicator. Downgrading your rating is as easy as shelling pears.

It is enough to refuse or not delay the order. And failure to complete an expensive task can immediately lead to a negative rating, from where it will be extremely difficult to get out, creating 5-ruble masterpieces.

However, do not despair. Adhering to the rules developed by the practice of many performers, you can short term return to the cohort of the best and start making real money. True, they will not help those who have a frankly large minus (from -500 and below).

Here you need to be patient and not flatter yourself about a quick return, even just to zero. Perhaps the right step would be to change the exchange, since today there is a choice, and start all over again, remembering that a lost reputation is expensive. But changing the account can turn into a harsh punishment in the form of a ban from the administration of the exchange with the blocking of all earned funds.

1. Look for a regular customer... It will provide you with a constant volume of work for the long term, which will contribute to the steady growth of the rating. In the process of cooperation, as a rule, normal human relationships and a certain customer loyalty arise. This does not mean that it needs to be used. There are simply different circumstances and force majeure. And if an unfamiliar customer can withdraw from the order and downgrade the rating for a delay, then your client will probably forgive after seeing reasonable explanations. This way you can reduce your own risks.

Objectively speaking, at first you can't get away from cheap customers. A bunch of benefactors will knock on your door (in the PM), seducing you with a white list, an increase in rating (how?), Positive feedback and a large amount of work. This situation is especially relevant on ETXT. Working with them, we waste time, not really improving the rating. Therefore, you need to try to quickly leave this bottom.

For example, ETXT awards 1 to 3 stars for successful performance in each category. Receiving stars will make many expensive orders available to you.

Don't forget to add to your portfolio, bringing there only best samples... For many customers, this selection criterion is considered the main one. And if they read an article that impresses them, they are unlikely to look at the rating, giving the order to you.

Feel free to declare expensive orders. And let 95% of your applications be rejected, one of them can be satisfied. Moreover, some customers like to give a chance to "backing tracks".

Having received an expensive order, surpass yourself in writing it, give all your best, convince the "Zak" that your low rating does not mean anything and you know how to write well. If all goes well, new orders will be provided to you.

2. Resale of texts. On many exchanges, points are awarded for the purchase of texts. But simply purchasing articles for the sake of rating is an expensive pleasure. A more competent step is resale of texts.

To do this, we register on the exchanges and purchase the text we like. We sell it on another site, throwing 5-10 rubles to the price. As a result, we increase the rating on two exchanges simultaneously. Concerning ETXT, then buying a job cheaper than 15 rubles is not worth it, since here the rating is added according to the principle for 10 rubles 1 point.

3. Writing and selling articles... If good customers bypass you, looking at a dull rating, this is not a reason for despair. Nobody will forbid you to write. If you work for ETXT, collect 100 points and you can safely sell your work in a local store, setting a starting price of 20-25 rubles. Do not be lazy to write, because the more articles you post for sale, the higher the likelihood of their purchase. Many highly rated authors have made a name for themselves on this, practically not fulfilling other people's orders.

Try to choose most popular topics... You can find them out by clicking on the link for the top requests of content stores that exist on almost any resource. Looking at the category rating, you will find out the most popular topics, and the search query rating will help you understand which keywords customers are most often targeting.

And finally. Treat your rating on etxt.ru with care. Always read carefully technical task... Before submitting an application, think about whether you will be able to fulfill the order, whether there will be enough time. Go to the customer profile, as there may be additional requirements. If you understand everything and you are confident in yourself, go for it! And then a high rating and positive reviews will not keep you waiting long.

Hello, friends! There are three top copywriting exchanges on the internet: Etxt.ru, Advego and. In my opinion, and judging by the reviews of copywriters, Etxt is the best for beginners and pros, today we will get to know it.

I worked for Etxt in the first year of mastering copywriting (the relationship with Advego somehow did not work out), I sold cheap articles for 15 rubles. for 1,000 characters (30 rubles per page). Then he went to bloggers, began to write at 130 - 150 rubles per kilo, combining copywriting with content management.

How to register correctly

Let's analyze the process step by step. On the Etxt the accounts of the copywriter and the webmaster are delimited. The copywriter cannot create orders, the webmaster cannot submit applications for writing articles. Therefore, when registering, you must immediately select the desired option: the contractor or the customer.

1. - write articles "out of your head" based on existing knowledge or experience.
2. - read other people's articles and retell in your own words to make it unique.
3. Is both copywriting and rewriting using SEO optimization methods. You are not just writing an article, but adjusting it to some key query so that the text goes to the TOP of the search results.
4. Translation from one language to another.

It is necessary to put a tick in front of "Copywriting", "Rewriting" and "SEO-copywriting". If you don’t know what SEO is yet, it’s not a problem. You will work for a year or two and figure it out. Do not check “Translation” if you do not really know a foreign language.

"Minimum price" - put 5 rubles. for 1,000 characters. The average cost of a text on any exchange does not exceed 20-30 rubles per 1,000 characters, but beginners first need to show themselves - they will have to fulfill cheap orders.

The maximum price I have ever seen on Etxt is 300/1000 - the customer was looking for specialists in door locks. Such amounts appear extremely rarely.

"Specify topics" - select the topics on which we plan to write. Whether you have knowledge of the topic or not, it doesn't matter. Be guided not so much by the relevance of the topic as by your interest in it. Writing articles on an uninteresting topic is a road to nowhere.

We press "Register", we confirm the registration by e-mail and go to your personal account.

Decide to create a customer account - use the same email address, the administrators will not ban you. But if you increase the rating, they will figure out and block you.

If you link a mobile phone to your account, Etxt will give you a promo code. A promotional code is a gift 300 - 600 rubles from the exchange, which can be spent on proofreading services and raising advertisements.

How to get comfortable in your personal account

How do I get started with Etxt? Let's analyze the functionality personal account.

Top 4 blocks

After entering on the main page in your personal account, you see 4 blocks. The first one talks about the Etxt exchange - it's useless, I have never read anything in 5 years of work and have not lost anything. On the second, your name is displayed and the amount of money on the balance sheet is the most valuable.

1. My wallets - here are the numbers of wallets in payment systems to which money is withdrawn.
2. Balance replenishment is irrelevant for performers. Customers on this page fund their account to buy articles.
3. Documents - never filled out. There are 2 fields on the heading page: whether you are a resident or not (citizen or non-citizen), an entrepreneur or an individual.
4. Extract - the administration lists all your income and expenses - how much money the customer paid for the article, what amounts you withdrawn, etc.
5. Withdrawal of funds - chose a payment system, indicated the amount to be withdrawn, sent a request. In a few days, the manager will withdraw your earnings.
6. Transfer of funds - on Etxt, you can transfer money to different accounts, including from the performer's personal account to the customer's personal account.

Regarding the transfer of funds, if you log into the account of the contractor and the customer from the same computer, that is, the IP addresses are the same, the exchange will not charge you a commission for the transfer.

If you transfer money to a third party, Etxt will take 10%. The translation is no longer automatic - only through the support service.

The third block - information about orders taken into work, the fourth - correspondence with copywriters, administration or customers.

The third block contains 7 fields:

1. Applications - how many applications you have submitted for orders.
2. In progress - how many applications have been approved by customers. You see the order in the "In Progress" section - feel free to start fulfilling it. Now the customer must either accept your work or reject it. You can only reject it through the support service - the exchange thus protects you from deceivers and scammers.
3. At check - how many articles you wrote and sent to the customer.
4. On completion - customers found flaws in your articles and returned the texts for you to finalize them.
5. Done - Customers liked your articles, accepted them and paid you money.
6. Overdue - You haven't delivered the job on time. Now the customer will decide for himself whether to refuse you or give more time.
7. The archive contains old orders that you carried out a long time ago.

Messages are divided into 2 groups: "from users" and "system". The customer wrote to me - this is a message "from users", I wrote to my friend-copywriter - also "from users". Someone bought my article - the support service sends a notification, it will be in the "system" messages. I filed a complaint against the customer, and the moderator replied - also "systemic".

Profitable orders - in advertising

There is little interesting here: copywriters want to sell articles at a higher price, and customers want to buy them at a lower price.

But there are some really cool offers. In May 2015, through advertising, I learned about the United Traders Magazine website. The editors were looking for copywriters to fill economic vocabulary... I knew little about economics, but for about a year I wrote on simple topics: cash flow, investments, etc. They paid $ 2 per 1,000 symbols, and the dollar was seriously off the charts in winter.

Click "Add Article" in the left menu.

A form for adding a material will open. The first text block is the title. Write a non-metaphorical headline so that the client immediately understands the essence of your text.

The title text or any individual words in it cannot be typed in CAPITAL LETTERS. Otherwise, the moderator will not let the article go on sale.

Next, select a category. If you are submitting an article for the first time, click "Open the entire list". See the name of the category you need. Then you will use the “quick search” - enter the beginning of the name, for example, “Zar”, the category will immediately display “Earnings on the Internet”.

Type of text - indicate "Copywriting", because an article "from the head" is valued higher than a banal retelling of someone else's text. Do not forget to clarify whether you wrote an informational article, or you have a review, news, etc.

Description - I make 2 - 3 suggestions for potential buyer... Let me tell you what problems of the reader my article helps to solve.

Key words - 4 - 7 words, reflecting the essence of the article.

Price - the copywriter indicates the cost of either a thousand characters or the entire article. For any article on the exchange, both prices are always displayed.

Indicated the cost of 1,000 characters - the exchange calculated the total price, indicated the total price - the exchange will calculate the price of a kilo-character.

I usually write a value of 1,000 characters.

We choose the language of the text, insert the article into a huge text field, agree with the rules.

We press "Put up for sale". Articles by novice authors are checked manually by moderators, then they turn on auto-checking. The maximum period for manual verification is 7 days, but usually it takes 1 - 2 days. Autocheck lays out the text for hours. If you recommend yourself, you will not violate the rules of the system - you will be allowed to auto-check and the work will go many times faster.

An article approved by the moderators will go to the "My for Sale" section.

The check analyzes spelling, punctuation and speech. Results are indicated by a check mark or a cross.

The more checkmarks the better. When I started working on Etxt, I was too lazy to read my articles - sometimes crosses were put for all 3 parameters. But the "sell-out" did not fall - the texts were always sold out.

The result, of course, also depends on the price, theme and reputation of the author. I wanted to get the money as soon as possible, so I set a low price - no more than 15 - 20 rubles per 1,000 symbols. Texts about remote work dispersed within 4 - 7 days.

When an article is reviewed, or when a publisher buys it, the exchange notifies the author through system messages.

Articles for free sale are not written for a specific site, so the webmaster will have to "customize" them. If you write for a specific resource, taking into account the customer's requirements, you will be paid more. Ready to "adjust" - apply for orders.

How to take an order

Go to the tab "Orders" - "Order search".

A large sorting form will appear. When looking for a specific order - enter the name or memorable keywords in the "Search Words".

If you just need work, fill in the other fields. Specify the type of work, select a category.

If you scroll through the list, you can select only one category. To view orders for different themes or just look at all existing themes at once, click "Select Categories".

Further “Period”, if you specify “per day” - orders placed during the day will be displayed. You can choose the week and month. I advise you to leave "not important" so that the system will show all orders. I usually do not choose a term either.

"Price" - by default, the price for the entire order is entered. Better to check the box "for 1,000 characters": there are orders for 1,000 rubles, in which you need to write 200,000 characters - that's 5 rubles. per kilo or 10 rubles. per page - a penny.

"Order level" - have not yet improved their qualifications (we will talk about this in a separate section) - put a tick in front of "no qualification restrictions". "Status" is not important if you are looking for a new order. If you want to view orders, articles for which have been submitted for review, or some other ones, select the one you need in the list.

If you do not change the sorting, orders will be displayed sequentially by publication date.

There are orders with auto-acceptance - copywriters with a high rating are automatically accepted as executors. To view - enter your rating.

Orders are sorted by post date by default. If desired, you can select other parameters: name, status, rating, date of delivery.

If you check the box next to "Group by customers" - Etxt will issue several orders from one webmaster next to each other. "Orders per page" - I put "100", so as not to wander through the pages, to immediately see a large list. "BS customers only" - useful when a group of customers will add you to the white lists.

Click "Start order search".

In the list of orders, we select interesting topics, see how much time is given to the contractor. If you are interested in the order, click "Submit an application".

It remains to wait for the customer to approve or reject the application. Start writing an article only after accepting the application. Until the order is “in progress,” you and the customer are strangers. If the customer cheats, the support service will not intercede for you.

How to check an article for uniqueness

The texts are checked for uniqueness online or through the Etxt Antiplagiat program.

We spoke in detail in a separate article - be sure to check it out.

The number of free online checks is limited + you have to wait in line. It is more convenient to download the program to your computer and use it.

To check the article in anti-plagiarism - copy the text and paste it into desired field... Then click on "Standard check" or "Check uniqueness".

During the check, you will have to enter a captcha. Antiplagiat checks hundreds of sites, its activity seems suspicious to search engines.

The administration of the exchange has complicated the verification algorithm, now it is very difficult to reach one hundred percent uniqueness. Sometimes it is impossible to collect the required "percentage" and submit an order for verification. If you find yourself in such a situation - write to the customer or contact arbitration.

When I bought small culinary recipes on Etxt, the performers complained to me: "Antiplagiarism highlights the ingredients, uniqueness is not gained" - I had to make concessions.

How to earn more

Payment depends on the following components:

• skill level,
• literacy test results,
• portfolio,
• rating,
• reviews.

Let's analyze each separately.

Skill level

The copywriter writes an article of 1 - 2 pages, the moderator checks it and determines the "Skill level". After registration on the stock exchange, all authors have the level "Without qualifications", according to the test results, one of the levels is assigned:

1. Initial - one star.
2. Medium - two stars.
3. High - three stars.

I have an entry-level skill in rewriting and copywriting. I did not write translation and SEO work, and in general I have never dealt with these things on the stock exchange.

Many customers set a skill level limit. If the restriction is "entry level", then a copywriter "without qualifications" will not be able to apply for an order. Asterisks do not affect the free sale of articles.

How to improve your skill level on Etxt? Click on the plus sign next to the stars.

You will see a list of tasks. You need to choose any topic and write an article. Usually the topic concerns household appliances or electronics. For each article it is indicated minimum volume in characters with spaces.

Take the article to work, write it, send it for review. In a couple of days, the moderator will answer - what level is assigned to you, what errors were found in the article.

It is difficult to get stars. They find fault with every little thing: an extra space, a comma in the wrong place, a speech defect - absolutely everything is verified.

You need to get a minimum "Initial level". A new test task is allowed to take 5 days after the previous one has been submitted. Write test papers until you grab at least one star.

There is a huge chasm between "Beginner" and "No qualifications". You are convinced of this after the first month of work as a customer. There is one star - it means excellent spelling, punctuation close to ideal, structured speech, no typos. "Without qualifications" - the opposite is true: a bunch of typos, spelling mistakes, with commas in general, it's a disaster.

Write articles simple language, make short sentences, do not complicate them with isolated circumstances and definitions, direct speech, do not write introductory words, etc. - then it will be easier to get an asterisk.

If targeting medium or high level- everything is more complicated here. It is necessary to write a lively text that will be pleasant to read.

You cannot sell articles written for advanced training. The administration uses them for their own purposes.

Literacy test

The test is much easier than working on a skill level. You are given 10 questions on spelling and punctuation, each question contains example sentences or words. You need to choose correct option and weed out the wrong ones.

The literacy test does not affect access to orders, but customers look at it. Today nobody needs illiterate texts.

How to take a literacy test? Are there any ready-made correct answers? I had no problems with the test, I did not look for answers. Since the literacy rate does not affect access to orders (for now, at least), do not try to artificially overestimate the result.

The lack of basic knowledge of the Russian language can be seen in any article from the first paragraphs. If you do not distinguish between verbs, and you passed the test 100% - you cannot avoid negative feedback, completely ruin your reputation.

Learn Russian and don't forget about continuous copywriting training.

Portfolio

Based on the examples of texts in the portfolio, the customer will determine your level of proficiency in the word, style. To add articles to your portfolio, click Add Portfolio.

Then, on the page that opens, click the "Add" button again and fill in the text fields. Indicate the type of work, title. To add material - leave a link to the publication or simply paste the article into the "Text".

If you write articles on different topics- show the breadth of your horizons in your portfolio. Add at least one article from each topic.

Rating

For every 10 rubles you earn on the exchange, 1 rating point is awarded. The higher the rating, the longer the author works with the texts, the more experience he has.

If you are late for the order, or the text seemed to the customer of poor quality, you will lose as many points as the text cost in rubles. There was an article for 1,000 rubles - 1,000 points will be written off.

Due to one unsuccessful order, the performers go into the red for several years. Be careful when you start working with a webmaster, do not take too many works at once.
