Currently, the term-paper writing market is saturated with large companies that can afford to buy hundreds of websites. Many of these sites produce fraudulent papers that trip off new security software used by universities to catch students. The companies represented by the websites are often unreachable, corrupt monoliths. The essay-writing world is usually not a pleasant one: many sites mistreat and scam both their writers and their customers, and get away with it by hiding in countries where they can't be reached and prosecuted. Also, there is the simple fact that the essay market's customer, if treated unfairly, has little realistic legal recourse.
It seems that it would be better for customers to trust small, individual companies and entites which can help them directly, rather than these large, out-of-touch, corrupt companies, many of which have poor, untrained customer service staff, phones that are purposely left off the hook, offices that don't exist in reality, etc. etc.
Paypal and the internet have made the world smaller. Customers can now deal directly with small entities. I am an independent entity with Northwind Essays, a new venture offering outlines, pre-written essays, custom essays, study guides, application essays, and editing services.

You mean, turnitin?
small, individual companies and entites
How is this any safer than working with large companies? And I ask this as a freelance writer that works directly with clients.
turnitin.com is, I understand, one of the larger sites registered through colleges and universities. I'm sure that some teachers use independent means, as well.
I say that it is safer for customers to reach smaller entities directly, because the chances are higher that the customers will receive what they want, rather than something which has been a few steps removed from them.

These things work based on volume. Using smaller services is generally less effective. This also isn't anything knew, and your advertisement doesn't provide any amazing revelations.

You've repeated the same thing and still failed to answer the question. Why is it more likely that a small company will give customer's what they want? What is it about small companies that makes scams less likely, in your view?
I see the elimination of an administrative middle-person, as well as a more specialized mode of service, as a few possible effective answers. Of course, I can only speak for the small service of which I am a representative.

Many small companies still have these, and many independent writers are scammers.

Really?
healthcare, psychology/counseling, business, social work, history, English, philosophy, women's studies, environmental studies, art history, and application essays.
I am not posting here to be contrarian or sarcastic. I believe that the customer has a better shot going the direct route; I am not saying that scams do not operate in both large and small places. Generally, smaller entities are faster and more efficient than larger companies, due to less bureaucracy. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

Yeah, so you should keep your baseless, ill-informed, biased misrepresentations of fact to yourself, SPAMMER.
Generally, smaller entities are faster and more efficient than larger companies, due to less bureaucracy.
Should I even bother asking you for proof?
Wrong, SPAMMER. The exact opposite is true. There is no "bureaucracy" involved. The larger companies are extremely streamlined.
And a fine hello to you on this beautiful day.
It could be that you're right, and a large administrative infrastructure actually makes things go faster. In a good, effectively run company, this is entirely possible. However, I would venture that such companies are not run of the mill, especially in an industry that tends to be widely reviled. I would also venture that spam is something sent en masse and without discrimination.
WritersBeware
And a fine hello to you on this beautiful day.
Boo hoo. That card has been played countless times. You're no victim. You're just a spammer who LIES and doesn't give a s-i* about the rules of the forum.
Judging by the quantity of your posts, I can understand if you are jaded. I intend no deception. If I have violated the rules of the forum, I'll leave it up to whatever authority exists here (I assume there is a moderator) to sort that out.

Love the responses... This argument is entertaining because there is no reference made to specific companies, just a nice amount of generalization and a 'big is bad' mantra. I argue that there are greater economies of scale with large writing companies, because I know for a fact that I sometimes struggle to manage demand when servicing a maximum of five clients a week. This provides cheaper papers for the greater good. chronicle.com/article/article-content/125329/ discusses it... a real eye-opener for the ghosts that walk.
Earn Great Results
In theory, economies of scale would, along with competition, result in the greater good for the customer. I agree with that basic principle. However, I also think that a smaller, more mobile company could have a quicker essay turnover rate, and more individualized customer attention.

Wrong. Period. You make such statements despite having zero experience operating a large company. You are also clearly trying to steer people towards your "small" company.
EGR - | 35 Freelance Writer
Agreed with WB. I don't know how you can do more [work] with less [writers]. Your argument is flawed.
I am indeed trying to steer people towards my small company. I also happen to think that small companies are able to respond more quickly, attend to customer needs more sensitively, and have better essay turnover. doing more work with fewer writers isn't the point. it's doing better quality work for the customer, more quickly.
WritersBeware
On what evidence do you base this wholly incorrect assumption?
I am hesitant to distract you from the hate-mongers who appear to collect here in order to bait you, since, as I am not one of them, I would appreciate being treated with some degree of basic civility. If this is too much for you, feel free to simply ignore me, and I will return the favor.
In terms of your comment, I believe I was clear about prefacing the above statement with, "I think." I was not making an absolute statement. If you think it's incorrect, that's fine. But don't claim that I am wholly incorrect unless you can show it. When it's your liberal use of absolutes, it becomes your unenviable burden of proof.
WritersBeware
I believe I was clear about prefacing the above statement with, "I think."
The ONLY reason why you included "I think" and "most of which" in your anti-company posts is so that you could use the very excuse that you are using now. I commend you for thinking ahead, but it doesn't negate the FACT that you are here to discourage people from using companies and encourage them to use YOUR, small outfit for personal gain. Read the rules of the forum-marketing/promotion is not allowed.
If I have violated the rules of the forum, I'll leave it up to whatever authority exists here (I assume there is a moderator) to sort that out.
Are you a moderator? I have freely admitted that I am here to promote Northwind Essays. And yes, that's to my potential gain, as well as the customer's.
WritersBeware
I don't give a damn what you have "admitted." The fact remains that you are in violation of forum rules. You are already posting your ads at EssayChat.com, so keep your personal profiteering out of this forum.
Apparently, basic civility is too much to ask from you. As I already stated twice, I'll leave it to a moderator to sort out any possible transgressions. Maybe you derive a sense of quasi-authority from having an inordinate number of message-board posts, but, thankfully, that does make you a figure of any real power.
WritersBeware

You can stick your pompous attitude straight up your *ss. You're just mad because I immediately saw right through your little, tired plan. You can stop playing the "I didn't know the rules" card, too. The fact that you have been posting your ads at EssayChat.com pretty much negates your ability to play stupid. The owners of this forum made EssayChat.com SPECIFICALLY to give peddlers like you somewhere to post their personal trash instead of posting it here.
Oh, and as for not having any authority here, you're right, I have no direct authority. However, when I come across a rule-breaking doosh like you, I let visitors, members, and the mod know immediately. This prevents them from taking unfair advantage of this forum and the many people who rely on its information. For the record, I have made MANY suggestions to improve this forum, which the mod/owner has implemented.
By the way, smart-az, I have been posting here since 2007. Posts add up. Your average number of posts per day is probably higher than mine.

so STFU.
Hmm... who's mad?
WritersBeware, it does seem that it would be fun to continue to wind you up, as watching you shoot off sparks is entertaining. I get the impression that many join this forum exclusively to indulge in the pastime of rattling your cage. But I am not a fan of taunting people who obviously have problems, or those who do it, in real life. As I am representing a real-world entity here, I will leave you to make your contributions as "assistant to the moderator" in peace. Have a nice day.
WritersBeware
You can get back to running your complete joke of a non-existent company, ya desperate hack. Keep struggling, loser. Some day in the distant future, you may be able to scrape together enough money to buy a domain name and not have to SPAM a forum to make chump change.

Pheelyks - the Peddler - is the daily poster there. Good catch this time.

Pheelyks is just as much against spammers in THIS forum as I am. Northwind has been spamming HERE; pheelyks does not. Stop comparing apples to oranges, Ms. Ukraine.

Pheelyks the peddler is spamming on and off forum by PM with links to the commercial websites you own / operate. As also described here.
Pheelyks: "
I also offered completely free advice on how to go about selecting a decent company to work with."
WritersBeware
Nice quote, moron! Did you think that I wouldn't bother reviewing it? You conveniently forgot to mention the BEGINNING text in pheelyks' post:
I PMd you to let you know that recommendations aren't allowed (and they're not--you can interpret the rules any way you want, but I and WB as well as the other people posting here--many of whom vehemently disagree with WB on a minute-by-minute basis--know how the mods interpret them).
You lose yet again. Now, eat s-i* and die, Ms. Ukraine.
Hijacked.
In any case, as an independent, smaller company, Northwind Essays is proud to offer an essay turnover rate superior to that of larger, more bureaucratic, slower entities.
pheelyks
If you had any sort of evidence to back that up you'd be shouting it to the hills. The claim doesn't even make sense--large "bureaucratic" companies turn out rush essays all the time. This is a deadline-dependent business. Also, "turnover rate" would refer to how fast a writer is able to complete one essay and move on to the next, which has nothing to do with the size of the company a writer is completing work for.

How's that successful, Web site-less company of yours coming along? LMAO!
"Northwind" . . . more like "Buttwind."
Ad hominem.

That's the retort of a weak mind. Oh, and by the way, you have no "argument" to address, so it's not an ad hominem attack. The fact that you have no Web site and must grovel for business in a forum in which such activity is expressly forbidden is now common, public knowledge.

The problem is that these are the very companies that tend to use fraudulent schemes on the students. They are the fly by night companies that do not deliver papers to the students. They are the companies that blackmail the students. At least the larger companies do not engage in such practices. Unless a student can truly investigate the background of a company and, the small company can truly earn the trust of the student, then the only other option for them would be to hire the writer directly since the person to person (no middleman) communication helps in completing the paper in a timely manner.
While the owner of Northwind Essays may have had good intentions in mind, and me may even have had the writing skills to boot, it appears that his efforts did not result in the growth of his business. If anything, I believe the business shuttered its doors since the last conversation in this post. I tried to do a deep search of the website or any reference to such a company but turned up empty handed. I guess the poor guy did not have what it takes to stay in the business. It looks to me like he was trying to use this post as a networking tool but it completely backfired because of the attacks on him. Based on the date of the original post, he may not have known how to effectively use social media to circumvent any negative attacks he experiences here.
