There are more than 30 titles for level 3 writers on TB UK. I have not picked any but I might do a few to see how the approval/rejection process goes.
If you have are looking for writing assignments, pop over there now. All levels (except 2) have titles to claim.

Appiration Closing by the End of the Year
Got this email from Appiration that the site will be closing by the end of the year. Users who still have funds in their account should withdraw them. Appiration will be replaced by WorkHub allowing you to continue earning money from your iPad, iPhone, and even computer.
There are more diverse 'micro-tasks' offered such as surveys, translating texts and image tagging.

Textbroker UK Now Accepting Author Applications
Textbroker UK is live since December 1. It is open to writers from English-speaking countries. Now, authors outside the US can write for TB.
How to apply
You register on the UK website and wait for a confirmation email. You are then asked to submit a writing sample between 120-220 words (not sure of the figures now) on a topic of your choice. Actually, there are 3 topics given and you select one. Make sure that you send original content. Your sample will be rated from 2 stars to 5 stars.
Payment: Euros through PayPal or a European bank account (you need your IBAN/SWIFT codes)
Minimum amount for cash out: €10
Frequency: once a month
Rates: based on star rating
2 stars - €3.50 per 500 words
3 stars - €4.50 per 500 words
4 stars - €6.00 per 500 words
5 stars - €20.00 per 500 words
My experience
I applied a few days after the site was open. It took 4 days for TB to review and rate my sample (chose one on travel). Got my acceptance last week and I'm rated 3 stars.
However, TB just opened its site to clients today. As of this time, there are no writing assignments for my level. I do hope there will be some soon.
I suppose I also need to complete my writing profile and read all the FAQs to make sure that I understand everything. I don't want to make silly mistakes when I claim an open order.
If you are looking for another site where you can make money from writing, take a look at Textbroker UK. Based on feedback from US writers, it's a legitimate and reliable company. Good luck!
Update: There are already assignments on TB but mostly for level 4 writers. 2 titles are for 5 star writers. I only saw 2 for level 3 but they were not worth writing for me. I hope more assignments pop up soon for my level. Otherwise, there's no chance to move up to the next level unless titles are available to claim.
