I write for several companies and have had bad experiences with most of them, usually issues over pay and being accused of plagairism for using direct quotes from journals (which are properly refernced - therefore not plagairised) I am tempted to set up my own company and cut out the middle man. At least that way I wouldn't have to rely on the companies deciding to pay me when they feel like it.

As well as setting up on your own, there are also quite a few reputable websites around where you can advertize yourself as a freelance writer and work directly with the client.

I can understand your frustrations. I hope it works out for you.

Hey Dylan,

Which websites hire writers to work with them??

Hey.

I wasn't talking about sites that hire writers but sites where writers can register free of charge as freelance writers and promote their services.

Two that I've heard of are elance.com and kasamba.com; I'm sure that there are plenty of others.

There's risk attached to doing business through sites like these for both the writer and the client. The writers need to have some assurance that they are going to get paid for the work that they do, and the clients need to assure themselves that the writer that they select is qualified to undertake the work to the required standard.

I have used one site with good results but I have been extremely careful in selecting writers with high ratings and in talking to them 'live' online to check that they understand the work that I need doing (which is mainly help with statistics) and can communicate well.

There are plenty of muppets on these sites though so buyers do need to be careful, and sellers too as I'm sure that there are plenty of fraudulent students kicking about.

But i think these sites must be providing some sort of security to the customers as well as to the writersin terms of money to be paid on completion, dont you think?

any reputable essay writers out there

When they are not busy in-fighting and mudslinging one another, you will find that the independent writers listed at this forum are reputable and reliable. Their reputations often span decades upon decades of membership at this forum. Comments about their work satisfaction and other ratings considerations are readily available for your information at this forum. You may even contact them directly to work on your paper. Rest assured that when you hire an independent writer from this forum, you don't have to fear being scammed. The assurance comes from the vetting system that the forum administrators and moderators have set into place for the peace of mind of the students who come here looking precisely for that, reliable and trustworthy writers.

Independent writers? I have recently observed that some listed / participating independent and freelance writers here actually work for companies. They intentionally mislead the students when creating their profile. I am not sure if they are instructed to do so by the company they work for or, if it is just the company owner opening multiple accounts and profiles to promote and defend their companies from illogically perceived threats and competition.

A student should make sure that he is really dealing with an independent writer / freelancer. He might find himself being directed to a company website to close the deal, which is considered misrepresentation. Though not a serious offense in this industry, it calls the trustworthiness of the independent writer / freelancer into question.

I've had that same suspicion for a long time. You should indicate which writers you're talking about.

You should indicate which writers you're talking about.

3 profiles immediately come to my mind. These are 3 recently created profiles in defense of UK essays that were not set-up properly by the user. These were created in a rush by the same or several ill-trained users. The venom being spewed by these so-called freelancers leads me to believe all 3 characters are the company owner/owners. These 3 are:

writerUK
Freelancer1234
a1writer

The language syntax are the same across all 3. They also have a fixation on UK law writing for some reason. I am calling this (these ?) person ( people?) out based on his (their?)obvious attempts to discredit observations I have made about the website even as I presented evidence to prove my claim of possible coding problems depending upon the browser type.

Rather than fixing their site credibility problem, these profiles have decided to act like cornered rats instead. Their attitude makes them even more questionable in my eyes. For me it is all about the information and/or facts as I discover it and presenting it for the consideration of the student.

I am sure there are more out there who pose as freelancers but I cannot remember who they all are.

Yes, those 3 are obvious; but I was actually talking about some of my fellow advertisers who've never posted on this forum at all since they posted their paid review threads. I thought you were also referring to them, originally.

@FreelanceWriter Their names did occur to me but since they were no longer participating in the posts here, I thought that it would not be right to mention them. That said, the likes of Cruciadiem, Orchid Goblin, and the others also come across as paid company hacks to me. Their profiles just do not sound right and the way they speak is not that of a proper independent writer who is looking to promote his business honestly. They do not speak with respect towards others. Which makes them suspect to me.

I think it's more than obvious that all 5 of the profiles that you've listed are actually the same person, just signing up a new account immediately after his previous account gets suspended. All anybody has to do to see that is click their user names to check their profiles, which display the exact dates that each one of them signed up and got suspended or banned. The fact that they immediately jump in to continue the exact same attacks that they started under their previous IDs also makes it extremely obvious. One suggestion to admin here is to consider displaying the suspended/banned status right next to the S/N on every post so that readers see that they've been suspended or banned on all of their posts. Currently, readers would have to check their profiles to see that and most of them probably don't do that. Most online forums indicate the status of users and banned users exactly the way that I'm suggesting.

Another suggestion is to ban them immediately instead of allowing the same person to spew out vicious untrue attacks on others for weeks before admin finally takes action, one ID at a time. This delay only encourages the same person to continue signing up new accounts over and over and he'll never stop. After all, the whole purpose of suspending user accounts is to get rid of people who don't respect the forum rules and/or use their accounts for nothing but disparaging and defaming legitimate users who do respect all of the forum rules and don't come here to initiate vicious attacks on anybody. The enforcement should be directed at the person, not just the forum ID. If the person doing this used the exact same email to create each new account, that wouldn't be permitted, right? That's why he has to create a new throwaway email account for every new forum ID. So, as soon as it becomes obvious that a new ID is simply the same person under a new ID, admin should ban that new account immediately, instead of allowing several weeks of attacks under each new S/N. That's also something that most online forums do, routinely.

I would like to add to your suggestion. Rather than just banning the profile and email address, the mods and admin should look into updating their system to keep track of the IP address. These profiles more than likely use the same internet connection constantly. They cannot be in the business if they use free wifi. So, if they can ban the IP of the user, then the need to ban the profiles and email addresses will be negated. The IP ban would, in my opinion, be the best way to solve the problem.

I'm sure that they already do this. The person involved is using a VPN or other proxy to evade identification by IP address; but you're making the same point that I'm making: namely, that the whole purpose of banning IP addresses is to prevent the person behind them from returning to the forum after being banned. Forum screen names and IP addresses aren't responsible for conduct that violates forum rules and that brings down the value of the entire forum to readers; the person who creates them is the entity that needs to be banned permanently. So, once someone is banned under one ID, each and every one of his subsequent IDs should also be banned immediately, as soon as it becomes obvious from his statements and posting habits that it's just the same person over and over again. If a user is only suspended temporarily, then signing up again under another alias should result in a permanent ban of that person, regardless of what new IP address or email he uses to create his 10th or 20th forum ID. Admin should also actively review his private messages, because they'll undoubtedly find that he's using his PMs to direct readers to his website.

These are all sound and solid suggestions. We can only hope that someone among the powers behind the forum is listening and will try to open the minds of his partners to the value of these suggestions. These moves will definitely heighten the profile of the forum and regulate or control the participation of bad actors in the threads.
