Are you curious about the website, Authorr? Well, here is an
honest review about the website. I signed up earlier in the week and set my
rate. The company recommended that I set my rate at a lower price, which
reminded me of other freelance websites. I set my low rate and after receiving
my topic, I sent my unpaid sample. The topic was easy to write on and was only
400 words. However, the word count did make it a little difficult. I usually
get a word count and am able to go over the word count. This was why it was so
difficult: my piece had to exactly 400 words, it could not go over the word
count or be less than the word count. I got a timer, which is at the bottom of
the page. It took me a little over an hour to write the piece. The timer was
good but bad. I am not fond of being timed but it was nice to see how long it
took me to write a basic 400 word article.
After they accepted my piece, I decided to start another
short article. After I logged in, I saw that there were ten available articles
and I chose one about using money wisely. I had to play around with my words to
make it exactly 400 words. I wrote it and submitted it. I then checked the
website to see if there are any other articles I could write. The list of
available articles went from ten to one. The website does send emails to tell
me when there are articles available to write, which I think is great. I do not
have to log on every hour or so to check the website. The next day I got an
email telling me I needed to edit my article because I did not follow one of
the rules. This rule was to write the piece in third, not second person. I
noticed this rule after I submitted it.
If I had to rate the website from a scale of 1 to 10, 1
being terrible to 10 being a terrific website, I would give it an 8.
Why the website got an 8:
- My article was not overly complicated to write
- The article received an easy to fix edit
- There were not any articles to claim after two hours
- The pay was lower than expected
