Review:
If you’re looking for red-hot writing opportunities, go somewhere other than Cool.Club. Not only does Cool.Club pay a paltry 2 – 6 cents per word, its terms threaten that you’ll be “fined” if you fail to submit work in the proper format.
Payments are made via PayPal, Payoneer, ePayments (and other electronic means) twice a month, but only if writers have accumulated enough pay in their accounts to exceed a threshold. The threshold for Cool.Club to make payments through PayPal, Payoneer and ePayments is $50; if you want to be paid by wire transfer, you need to have earned more than $400.
If the writer doesn’t complete a project on deadline, Cool.Club has the right to levy a fine or cancel payment to writer completely. Better writing opportunities can be found at Contently, Fiverr and Indeed.com.

Do not flatter yourself. I passed the test successfully and received the first task – 3 pages, $5/page. I accomplished it and received small comments (a few sentences too short or too long, and one sentence was missing in the introductory paragraph); there were no grammar or style mistakes. Plus, I removed personal data from the file properties as requested by the support team. I revised the next, removed the personal data, and sent my file. I got the answer: “We have to decline your application as you have failed to revise the order (there are still grammar, style, format, and instructions mistakes),” i.e., suddenly, there appeared grammatical and stylistic errors. On the website, the order disappeared without evaluation. I replied: “OK, send me an evaluation report.” They did not send me anything and did not communicate with me anymore. Make your own conclusions and remember that if you obeyed and deleted personal data from the file properties, you gave your work to fraudsters for free.
