Open Orders are our most accessible type of orders - the only requirement is that you must be at the requested star level or higher. We get a variety of clients that place Open Orders with topics, prices, and lengths of all kinds, and you're free to choose whichever ones you like!
A lot of Open Orders are probably requested by self-service clients, which means that the clients are largely who you want to contact for questions or concerns about these orders.
We have a variety of teams that you can join that provide a more steady flow of orders. These teams request orders on tons of different topics, from traveling around the world to updates on the latest fashions.
You'll have to write six orders before you can join teams, but after that, you can either apply or be invited. Once you're on, you'll have access to all the available orders on that team.
There are two types of teams: self-service or managed. Managed teams will have a star next to the name, and these will have a Textbroker Project Manager in charge. They'll be the ones reviewing applications, and they'll be who you want to contact for questions. Self-service teams are run by the client, which means you'll need to contact them directly for any questions.
Sometimes clients take a shine to a particular author, or sometimes we find one of you to match with specific orders we think you'll be great at. You get to set a Direct Order (DO) price for these orders, and you can set different DOs for different clients. Generally, the clients will reach out to you when they want to place a Direct Order with you, but you are also free to message a client to offer your help if you enjoyed working with them!
