How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutNo published percentage for Writers Work or its type, so the game assumes 15%. | 15% | Assumed |
| Days before money can be withdrawnTypical for this kind of work. | 7 d | Assumed |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Paid bids per proposalNo paid bids in our data for this platform, so applying is free and costs only your time. | 0 | Assumed |
| Price of one bid | $0 | Assumed |
| Typical client budget per hour of work | $18 | Assumed |
| Chance a quick proposal wins (no reviews yet)A tailored proposal roughly doubles it; each 5-star review raises it. | 10% | Assumed |
| New matching posts each day | 3 | Assumed |
| Chance an unverified client never paysNo payment protection on record. | 12% | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)1.1-5.5 cents per word by star level on Textbroker, about $5-28 for a 500-word article | — | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on Writers Work’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Writers Work’s current rules.
