Well, that was real SUBTLE.

Suggestion to the mods: just cut the crap and allow direct adverts, as they have been going on in here anyway. Also allow competition slandering, rants and craziness. This forum turned into a joke.

LOL. Does it get tiring talking to yourself like that? Funny that while you expose others with multiple user names, because you can see their IPs (recent example BrokenStudent/kimlala), miraculously it never happens with shills' multiple personalities. Wonder why? Oh, wait.....right.

True, it does not make any sense...unless you are only posing as a writer but in reality you are a company rep scouting for orders. You just cast a wide net, some reps say they work for a company, some pretend to be freelance writers but work for the same company. No one actually sees you doing any writing, so you can say whatever, not like it can be independently verified. But it is in your best interests to vilify independent writers like me, because we are indeed your direct competition. We can do the same (and often better job) for less.

You even say this on your website: "If desired, I will also refer you to one of the larger commercial sites whose honesty and business practices I can vouch for personally and assist you to place any order that I cannot handle myself. There is no charge for this because I hope you will always run future projects by me first."

Not a single company will work with you without getting their payment first. The references are completely irrelevant. Scammers can produces many references and "writing samples". The best way to go is to place a small order, see the quality and go from there. If you are lucky to find a good writer, think twice before switching the teams.

No it is not. It is a well known fact that both essaychat and essayscam are set up for the sole purpose of promoting certain companies and their writers. Decent independent writers are constantly harassed and s*h*a*t upon by paid shills and company reps. The distrust and paranoia are intentionally created to herd maximum number of students towards specific companies and their writers.

Easier said than done. Unless of course you can write on any topic.

I do not know, do you really think students just google search for essay companies? There is so much scam out there, it seems to be a REALLY bad idea. I was under the impression it has been always word of mouth, although I can be mistaken. It can be very risky to just pick some random site on google search, especially for urgent or serious projects or dissertations.

I am curious how one can "carve off a small hunk of the cheese." in such chaotic place, where no one trusts anyone, work is seasonal, and volume is uneven and often unpredictable. I get tons of orders at times and cannot take them all. But sometimes I just sit around with zero orders. The main problem with a freelance writer you can only write so much, you cannot physically write more. Plus it burns your brains and you have to get out of this business sooner or later.

Here is how I see the problem. Companies survive because their target audience is HUGE! They take everything, history, marketing, finances, religion, odd balls orders, you name it. Thus they have a lot of orders at any given time. Now a freelance writer is somewhat limited in topics he or she can take, unless this person is a rare genius. So not only a freelance writer has to reach wide audience, he or she has to reach very specialized audience according the topics he is proficient in. This could be a huge challenge.

Many writers have direct access to all references databases they need. You do not have to give your student number/password if you do not want to. If your writer has no access and can't find required references, offer to download needed references for him.
