Human Rewriter legit or not?

[boomenco]

Hi there

We are a dynamic global team looking to add a writer to our team. English MUST be your native language, and previous writing/journalism experience required. Knowledge and experience of blogging platforms (such as wordpress) a plus, but mostly you will be submitting them in text files.

The writing will be in the healthcare and entertainment industries. We are looking for creative writers with a passion for words. No experience required, training will be given).

Each day you will be writing between 5-10 articles, so this will be a regular role. Reliability is extremely important as we have deadlines, but you will be able to earn extra income working from home doing fun creative work.

If interested we would conduct a quick interview over Skype, and then request a couple of specific sample articles from you. If you have existing sample articles, we would also be interested to look at them.

This is a long term opportunity for the right individual.

Thanks very much.

Does anyone have an update on this company?

Hey, I wanted to post a comment about my experience with humanrewriter.com. I worked for them from July 2009 to February 2010. I really enjoyed working for them at the beginning. They require that each of their writers have aol instant messenger, and if there are any questions or concerns, that is how you can reach them. This was very helpful in the beginning, but around November, they began to ignore my questions and once I was told to figure it out myself. I was not very happy, but needed the money, so I just kept working. I slowed down a lot at the end of December and didn't do very many articles at all because of the holidays and family functions. One day in February, I tried to log in and could not. The first thing I did was get on messenger and ask them what was happening. It showed that they were typing, and then nothing ever appeared. I then went to check my email to see if I had received any messages. There was nothing, so I waited on messenger. Fifteen minutes later, I received the same email that ladywilson did, saying that I had "massive failures". I had a 98 percent approval rate and they had never said anything before. I was upset that they were too cowardly to talk to me on messenger about it, but not upset that I had lost the job. I found another one the next day.

This site is a good way of making some extra cash, but do not expect it to last. I had no warning at all.

I have been working here for about a month and so far so good. It seems that those that were let go worked a bit longer than me, though, so who knows. I haven't had any issues yet. My approval rate is 100%. It is pretty easy work, but the pay is very low. Part of the problem is that the articles are often not written well and sometimes can be confusing to understand, which makes it tricky to rewrite. That means i spend more time than I want on each article. I am going to stick with it and see if it gets easier. They do pay on time, so that is always a plus. If I work steady I can make about $8-$12 an hour.

It does get easier after a while, don't worry. Some of the articles will continue to be hard to rewrite though, because many of the customers are not native English speakers. I really enjoyed working for them and I wish you the best of luck! Maybe things will turn out better for you

I just applied to Human Rewriter, and I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm looking forward to writing for them if I'm accepted.

The purpose of Human Rewriter is not to cover up plagiarism. No company nor any article directory is a allowed to do that. In fact, most of these content companies have CopyScape that can detect duplicate content.

I suspect that the majority of the clients submitting their articles to Human Rewriter are internet marketers and bloggers whose writing skills are not particularly stellar.

They need web content to post to various article directories across the internet that link to their websites and give them strong backlinks. These backlinks help their websites and webpages increase their ranking on the search engines for the best possible visibility.

The problem is that Google weakens backlink strength if they find ten of the same word-for-word articles posted across the internet. This is classified as duplicate content and doesn't help the marketer's website to rank at all. You need to have at least 20% uniquely written content to be classified as a new article.

Some marketers will purchase article software that will actually spin sentences and provide different variations, but it depends on the software. Words and phrases can come out looking and sounding funny.

That's where Human Rewriter comes in. They broker clients to writers and get real people rewriting these articles so they sound readable to humans.

I think it's a clever concept.

[Kiernansmom]

Yep, I do this for a private client since he wants the articles to sound more natural than some spinner software does. It's pretty easy work, but I make $20 per hour doing it.

I write for Human Rewriter. They're legit. The pay's not great, but they pay weekly, reliably, and it's easy work.

[jeangrey]

I'm not 100%, but I was under the impression they're not hiring at the moment. I don't know details, I just read some rumors a while back.

I'll enroll with them today and try to find out more. Not sure whether they accept those who reside outside the States and whose mother tongue is not English.

Edit: Nope, they just accept those who are residents of US :/
