2) users (more than 37,500);
3) orders completed in TOP30 copywriters.
You can make money on this exchange in several ways. You can post both rewrites of articles and your own articles. It is also possible to place orders with a specific task. For their implementation, you will immediately receive payment.

If you earn by copywriting, you can appreciate the positive side of this exchange.

Another plus is that you yourself allocate both the amount of your time spent on rewriting and when you will do this work. And it is not at all necessary to wait for the order to arrive. All you need is to determine for yourself how much time and effort you are willing to spend to make it difficult for you.
