Sign up and validate your account

The first step to becoming a freelance copywriter with us at Topcontent is to create an account. This is a simple process; just hit the sign up button and fill out your profile. The best part is, you don’t need any experience or education related to writing, just writing skills and a passion for writing. You don’t even need to send us a CV – simply validate your account.

Choose your language and complete a screening test

Once the account is validated, select your main language. You can only select one main language, though if you are bilingual, you’ll need to get in touch with us. With regards to your language, you’ll have to undergo a screening test, which we have in place for some languages like English, Finnish and Swedish. This needs to be completed successfully before you’ll be able to access freelance writer jobs. It’s timed, so make sure you’re available before starting.

Fill out your profile and complete an introduction lesson

Once the account is created, you’ll need to fill out your entire profile. This includes your full name and the payment method you would like to use, as well as tax information. This is important if you wish to get paid for any content writer jobs that you complete.

At this time we only offer two different payment methods, but if neither is available in your country, please get in touch with us.

Bank transfer
Skrill

After this, you’ll need to complete the introductory lesson to understand how it all works, so that you can get started. This is compulsory, but you will be paid for the work in the lesson. It’s there to show you how the system operates, so that you get hands-on experience of the processes that are involved.

Start writing!

Once you’ve completed all of the above steps, it’s time for you to get yourself some writing jobs. All the available jobs will be shown on the task board. You can take any task you want. Sometimes the board will be empty; this is because the amount of tasks varies depending on the language and even the time of day. Be aware that when you take a task, you have 12 hours to complete it, but if you have not started the task within a two-hour period of accepting it, the task will be dropped from you.

Flexible freelance writing jobs from home

One of the best things about writing for Topcontent is the ability to perform writing jobs from home. Thanks to the internet, it’s now easier than ever to acquire remote freelance writing jobs and work outside of an office, in an environment that suits you. By working from home, you are afforded a lot more freedom and flexibility in the way you work. For instance, as a freelance writer, you can choose to write as much (or indeed, as little), as you want for Topcontent. This means that you can control how much you earn per month as well as the hours.

What’s even better is the complete flexibility available to you when you write with us. You can work from anywhere in the world, writing at any hour or day of the week that suits you. In this way, these writer jobs can fit in around your daily schedule in a seamless fashion. You also don’t have to tell us if you plan on going on holiday, or just need a break, as you’re a freelancer with us rather than an out and out paid employee. Once again, this gives you enormous flexibility in what you do.

When you are online writing with us, it’s also important to remember that the number of tasks available will fluctuate. This happens because we have a number of writers taking tasks as well. With this in mind, we do have a daily notification that you can turn on so that you are updated as soon as there are tasks available to write. With this, you can head on over to the task board and select the tasks that you’d like to write as soon as they become available. This way, you can keep your work rate flowing.

This can include anything from game or casino reviews right through to how-to guides on playing specific games, learning new betting techniques or even how to find the perfect online casino.

All of these types of articles need to be fun and exciting, yet emphasis the need for responsible gaming.

Travel writing, food, sport and much more!

We also offer a range of tasks on a number of other topics too. This can include travel, where you will need to write guides of cities or countries detailing the attractions and the methods used to get around.
