The Economics of the EWS Industry / Writing Service Selection Points

I will make this post as succinct as possible. I am currently doing some assistant research on the economics of essay buying. As soon as I began searching Google for pricing variance, I came to realize the vast number of fraudulent websites that exist. I found this website and realized that this community might be able to point me in the right direction.

I am trying to figure a number of things, and collect relevant data. Just to provide an example, I am tasked with figuring out the following:

PART I:

-Pricing metrics (# of words, time 'til completion)
-Does pricing vary with discipline?
-Are the web firms simply middle-men who link students with free-lancers?
-Do they advertise for employees?
-What distinguishes one firm from another?

PART II:

Distribute 25 points on the following things that are important to you in selecting a service:

(You may distribute the points however you like)

1.) The paper is written according to all specifications.
2.) The paper is submitted on time.
3.) Customer service is cordial and efficient.
4.) The site is easy to navigate around and use.
5.) The site is reliable in terms of assigning competent writers to your projects.
6.) The site is honest about the real names and countries of origin of their writers.
7.) The site is honest about their actual business location (and their fire drills).
8.) The price is reasonable.
9.) Others? ____

If anyone is interested in pointing me in the right direction, please message me. Thank you!

you have just opened the sluice gates to a huge, bilious tidal wave of bickering. Regarding PART ||:

1.) = 7
2.) = 6
3.) = 2
4.) = 1
5.) = 1
6.) = 1
7.) = 1
8.) = 6

Visit some sites to get the answer. Obviously, the more words you need, the more it will cost. Same about the completion time.


There are less contract writers who specialize in physics than the ones who specialize in English Literature, so in most cases 'Yes.'


The simple answer is 'Yes.'


No. All websites I know (and I know hundreds of them; I think WritersBeware is the only one who knows more :) advertise for freelance/independent contract writers. Those that use the word 'employee' (happens very sporadically) also mean 'freelance/independent contract writers' but their problem is they are foreign-based companies that don't understand English/legal nuances well enough to write a meaningful ad.


Read this forum and you'll see the difference. In general, some companies abide the American/British laws (because they are based in the US/UK) and others pretend to be 'American/British' companies, lie about their location and qualifications, and they think the relevant laws don't apply to them.

Major,

I did visit a number of sites. The websites from which I collected the majority of my Excel data typically had very apparent pricing schemes. However, I got the feeling that said sites were completely fraudulent. For example, one website I collected data on had a Montenegro domain.

So, full-time employment with these firms is fairly unheard of in the industry?

I appreciate your responses. I will muse over some more detailed questions to ask.

What do you mean by that?

The only full-time employees may be the owner/s. All others are outsourced contractors or sales people (but it also depends on the business mode). Of course, fraudulent sites may claim they have 'directors, mangers' etc. (especially in their 'press releases'), but in fact all the claims are only creative imagination of their outsourced PR/keyword freelance writers.

100% correct

Web programmers are useful too (Russian are one of the best). Accountants for large firms do the job too.


What for? Ask editor he know nothing anyway.

That's actually a good question. Are you Editor75's friend?

I have a website and the script works itself without the need for extra employees (besides me). All you should do is to advertise on craigslist or buy ads on Google. Everything else is automatic.

Answers to Part 2:

1.) 8
2.) 5
3.) 8
4.) 1
5.) 2
6.) 3
7.) 2
8.) 1

So, how did the research go? What were the results of your investigative research? The results of this undertaking would have been quite useful to the students here. It sounded like the OP almost came up with a formulation regarding how to compute the "scam" status of any company. Too bad he decided to withhold the information or maybe, change his research topic since the variants for this research constantly move. He would not have been able to develop a completely accurate research based on the parameters he was using. It would give him an idea, but definitely not lead him to the full picture.

Yes, the price varies per discipline. The more advanced the writing level, the more expensive the per page cost becomes. That is because the factors for manpower hours, information sourcing, transportation (when necessary), and other considerations come into play for the writer. The more intensive the work required, the higher the cost.


That is a misconception on the part of most students. All the writers remain independent because they do not have a formal work contract involved with the writing company. So, it would appear that they are middle-men for the freelancers. However, the company runs the backroom or office aspect of the business for the freelances. This includes client contact, payment collection, and mediation (when necessary as in the case of revisions). Middle-men they are not. I view them more as a business partner who pays for half the bills I would have paid for if I were in the business alone. These shouldered expenses include running the server, promoting the service (not necessarity the writer), and basically, just building the business. Actions I would not have the time to do accurately if I were a one person office.
