Should clients trust newer freelancers joining a pool of already congested niche?

Newer freelancers and sites not only charge less, but also comprised of writers, who have worked for more than a decade. They understand clients' needs/requirements and budget. These writers can truly redefine quality and service. In my opinion, clients should try them to avoid dancing to the same rhythm every now and again.

Sorry to say but the title of your thread marches to Japan; whereas your suggestion goes to Europe!

The problem is, out of 10 'new' freelance writers, 8 are the same writers who registered new email accounts under new (fake) names.

"Trustedwriter" (and his lack of writing skill) is a perfect example of why "clients" should NOT use or trust the "new sites and freelancers" that he dishonestly recommends.

The Essay Nurse puts it this way, you may be "new to EssayChat, but not to academic writing." These freelancers have many years of writing experience and would personally recommend them to clients. However, initial payments must be made after order submission.

A scammer/Spammer accepts payments up front and disappear without submitting the purchased product. Trustedwriter takes payments only after papers have been submitted and when clients are completely satisfied with the products. Clients beware, who's a scammer/spammer now?

So you never get paid, do you? By the way, I like the illeism.

We know what kind of writers take that risk: the kind who are incredibly unqualified and desperate or the kind who plagiarize.

Spamming has nothing to do with accepting payment, ya nitwit.


Um, it's still you.

I'll pretend that I did not read that thoroughly confusing post from the OP. Instead, I'll focus my response on the title of the post instead. I believe that this is a subject that needs to be discussed because the industry continues to expand even as the original / founding academic writers have moved on to other writing avenues as part of their career progression / change. I believe that new writers, provided they are on the level about their English writing abilities should be given a chance to prove themselves to clients. The newer they are, the more they should prove themselves if they wish to have the same sort of career longevity that most of us have been privileged to develop. Students just need to make sure that they do everything they can to prevent themselves from being scammed. This normally requires vetting the writer and asking the writer to provide a sample of his work, say half a page, regarding the potential topic he will be hired to write about. If the writer delivers, then it is worth a shot to take a chance on hiring him.

Based on the title for this thread, I would have to say that yes, clients should find it within themselves to trust new freelancers in this market, regardless of how competitive it has become.

Actually, the new writers should be taken for a test drive because of the competitive nature of the job. Consider that when you are applying at an actual workplace, you are being asked for work experience.

Being new in the field, you don't have any. How can you gain work experience if nobody will hire you because you don't have previous work experience?

That is the reason why I encourage students to try out new freelance writers whenever they can.

Provided that the freelance writer can convince the student that he has the same ability as an old-timer when it comes to delivering a high quality product on time and within a reasonable budget.

Give the new writers a chance. They may just surprise you.

This might come as a huge shock to you, but clients care about getting the best possible results, not providing "work experience" to fledgling and wannabe writers. Nobody wants to be a surgeon's first 100 or 200 patients, which is why you want someone who's already performed whatever surgical procedure you need thousands of times. Likewise, if you have an important project upon which your grade depends, you don't want a writer who just decided last month to try his luck at writing academic projects for some extra income while he's living in his parents' basement because he's not having any luck finding a job after college. If clients want their money's worth and the best possible results, they'll go with a writer who's actually been doing this fulltime for a living for many years and who's written thousands of projects during that time.

Well, isn't that the catch 22?! You need experience to get the job, and you need the job to get the experience. So... the other option? If you're a new freelancer and you have other writing experience, note it. Did you ace your own writing projects in college? Note it. Did you help fellow students? Note it. Whatever experience you have, note it. When starting out, you have to think outside the box. Otherwise, you'll remain the "new kid on the block" and the best clients will seek those who do think outside the box. Also, while you don't want to give away work for free, you can suggest doing 1-2 pages to show the client what you are capable of producing. If you have copies of your own work from college, draft some samples to show. Of course, you want to be careful how much you show to avoid someone taking your "sample" and using for their own needs.

Be creative. Do a portfolio of brief samples. For example, when I was an undergrad, I submitted a draft of a paper (about 5 pages) where my professor said, "Excellent job. No changes or additions needed. You can submit as is for your final version." Admittedly, that is the only time I received a response like that. The fact is there is always room for improvement. Always! Even for the best writers. The bottom line, though: there are ways around the newbie stigma, but you are the only one who can get around it. :)

Maybe, for inexperienced new writers. However, clients don't really care about helping new writers find work; they just want the best writing they can possibly find. This isn't like having surgery in a teaching hospital where you consent to have surgeons in training possibly perform their very first surgical procedure on you. If a new writer is any good, he should be able to find some work at an essay company by submitting a resume and some writing samples, the same way I did for the first time 15 or 16 years ago, and get 500 or 1,000 or more projects under his belt before expecting to work for the better companies. If I were a client, I'd also be looking for the most experienced writer I could find, rather than someone just starting out in this business.

Try the new writers whenever you can. These writers are mostly fresh college graduates, regardless of their actual location, who are looking for a way to make an income while waiting to be regularly hired. Their knowledge regarding specific subjects are still fresh and up to date. That means your paper will still come across as highly impressive to your professor. They also have more time on their hands since they have fewer clients. They will be able to focus and do a good job on your paper because of it. Don't think that just because they are new, they cannot get the job done. They actually can and will get the job done, and probably surprise you in the process.

It is important that the students give the human new freelance writers a chance to prove themselves in this business. Yes, AI can provide an updated paper that carries relevant information. Yes, AI essays are free most of the time. Yes, AI does a good job at sourcing information. But, AI does not have the sort of logic and analytical skills that only a human writer can provide. Ai has limitations when it comes to analysis.

Since the market pool is not really congested anymore, but new writers are still looking for a break, I really recommend that the new writers try to find a way to earn the chance to write for students. Sell yourself so that you will be trusted by the student over an AI generated piece of work.

I have to strongly disagree. If I were a customer, about the last thing that I'd ever consider doing is using anybody just entering this field right now, when the vast majority of experienced professional writers who've done this work for many year are leaving the business, entirely. It's practically guaranteed that anybody actually entering this field now, for the first time, is just going to be using AI to write horrible essays, which customers could do themselves for free. New writers are even more of a risk today than they were when I last posted in this thread seven years ago.
