I believe that the main problem here is that the companies themselves misrepresent their writers as being ENL writers, when they actually have a majority of ESL writers on board. This is where the distrust stems from because the students eventually figure out that the company was lying to them and the writers were playing along by misrepresenting themselves as Americans through their online identities. That is why the students tend to "repel" the ESL writers. Even though the paper that is turned in by the ESL writer is acceptable and almost as an ENL degree, by not disclosing the truth at the start of the deal, the students lose their trust in the company and their writer.

My policy when I was actively writing was that I would not give my client a paper that I would be ashamed to turn in if I were the actual student enrolled in the class. That shows the degree of respect I have for my client and the type of work quality that I produce for them, not because I am paid for it, but because I take pride in the work that I do. It is important to put in effort in relation to the final output because that will guarantee repeat business from the students who are looking for help in bringing up their grades in their classes where they need writing help.

The bottom line is that English names do invoke a sense of trust in the person you are talking to. Then, it also helps make it easier for the person to remember your name, which they probably would not be able to pronounce in its original form. So it is not so much that fraud is being committed in this case. It is more like the person involved just wants to facilitate the discussion process and help the person that is being spoken to feel at ease in the situation and the person they are dealing with.

Long vacations are a must for anyody who serio9usoy works. However, for freelancers like us, the no work, no pay reality is always there when we take long vacations. Therefore, it is important that we learn how to schedule mini vacations alongside major vacations during the year. For me, this meant learning how many orders I could comfortably take every week, without burning out, allowing myself 2 full days on the weekends to actually rest and catch up with life outside of the computer, and learning that it is alright to work on 2 or 3 papers per day, depending upon the number of pages that I need to write.

I also learned that I could work through vacation provided I did these during the mornings only, after breakfast, with the rest of the day allotted to rest and relaxation time. I can do that, I am a freelancer. My time is my own and the work schedule is up to me.

It is not advisable for students to hire only ESL writers throughout their college career. That is because the students are expected to increase their writing skills over the academic years, proving their knowledge and confidence in the knowledge that they are gaining or have gained over time. The lessons learned should prove that even ESL students have developed a stronger understanding of the English language and how to use it in written form over time. So they should be hiring academic writers if increasing proficiency and expertise as their studies progress as well.

The masters degree discussion is only here because the academic writing companies say that they have masteral and PhD writers on staff. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, they hire college graduates and the writers learn to write at higher levels on the job. It is not, in my opinion, important that an academic writer have a masters degree or higher because the majority of the orders coming in to companies usually stems from high school to college graduate level writing only. The higher writing levels are few and far between. So anybody who wants to enter into the academic writing world should not be worried about those fake credential requirements.

Well these days, students already get the lowest bid offer from human writers and still do not end up placing an order with the writer. Human writers are actually lowering their prices to help keep them afloat and beat the "free" papers that AI offers. It isn't about free anymore but rather the "free" aspect of the business that writers are trying to defeat. It is difficult enough for writers to send their best offer in, considering the expenses involved in the writing of a paper. Yet, students do not see the value of a human written paper, regardless of the price. Students can now get a well written paper on a heavily discounted basis if they would just give the human writer a chance. It no longer follows that paying cheap will result in cheap work.

Writers that work for academic writing companies have found that their payment system is no longer dependent o the monthly or bi-monthly earnings of a writer. The companies now have a minimum earning threshold for PayPal, Wise and other transfer options. So even though a writer would prefer to be paid once or twice a month, the payout would really depend on the speed and their ability to earn the minimum pay out amount every month.

Writing Careers / 4WRITERS updated reviews [38]

4writers seems to still manage to exist regardless of the negative reputation that it has. They do not have a regular writers pool but instead, the company is constantly hiring 3rd world English writers so the quality of writing that students receive is inconsistent. The native English speakers normally shy away from this company since they know enough to steer clear of the company. It is the ESL students that commonly hire them, then discover that they were fooled into hiring a useless writing service.

Well, there are now data privacy law globally that protect the student information, should it fall into the wrong hands. For the writers who end up with the student information for the cover page or headers and footers, the student should be able to trust that the company and writer will not use the information in a negative manner. It is when the information falls into the hands of a totally independent writer that the students should start to worry. The independent writers are usually the ones with bad actions in mind once they get their hands on the information. I do not mean to point to all the independent writers, just those that tend to have criminal thoughts once they see an opportunity to do so.

When I was new to the business, it was the deadline requirement of the client that pushed me to work faster. I was new at the company and getting only the short turn around time orders during that time. I was also limited to 4 orders per week, which would only be lifted to an increasing number each time, depending upon the speed that I worked on papers and the satisfaction of the clients. So these were the 2 main considerations that influenced my work turn around time. We all have different reasons to push ourselves to work faster. For some, it is financial. For others, like myself, it was wanting to prove myself to the client, by providing high quality work at short turn around times, and to the company, by proving that I could be trusted with more work, regardless of turn around time.

Writer assignments are fully appreciated by the writing companies because this means the writer is reliable and competent. It proves that the writer will be able to bring in repeat clients over the semester or coming academic years. So once a writer is requested, the company will do back flips to ensure that the writer requested will work on the paper. However, writers keep the option to turn down a student if his workload is heavy or not within his area of expertise. Generally, a requested writer will always be assigned to the client requesting for the service though. There are very few and rare instances when the client will not work with his requested writer.

Australia has become a major international education hub over the past years. Their market for essay writing services is still strong in the sense that the Australian students still seem to opt for human writers over AI. That is why the remaining essay writing companies and independent writers tend to target the Australian market more than the other countries. I have noticed though that Australian students lean more towards learning how to write the papers properly than having the writers actually have full control over the writing development pocess. These students, both the Australian natives and the international students appear to be highly focused on becoming well educated through the research and writing process.

Online plagiarism software does save the information that is uploaded to the system. That is the agreement a student enters into once he uses the free service. Always remember, there is no such thing as a free service. There is always a product to be had in such cases and in this case, it is the student's data and paper that was uploaded for plagiarism scanning. The same rules apply when using Ai to accomplish a plagiarism check. The system will use the data provided to educate the AI system about the process being discussed. All student papers these days are saved and worth a lot to the companies that are entrusted with it. Not in terms of money, but in terms of data value.

I would probably have become a company affiliate researcher, probably in the Educational Consultancy or Solar researcher field. These are the 2 careers that I have skills in that are in demand these days. However, I would lean more towards the Educational consultancy work since that is better aligned with my background as an academic writer and academic writing editor.

There will always be enterprising students in college who are good at Statistics and Economics who will be looking for a way to make some money on the side. They are the willing tutors that help classmates and schoolmates learn the subjects they are struggling in this applies to all classes actually, not just Statistics and Economics. Check the part time work ads on the school social media pages or directly approach students in your class whom you believe may be open to a tutoring or paid study buddy gig with you. These moves will definitely help you become a better student and grow you Statistics and Economics skills.

Citation styles are not difficult to use anymore. There are free citation style generators available online and the document writing app sometimes have writing styles built in that can be set by the writer prior to getting started so that the in-text citations and sources pages are automatically created as the paper is written. So, while old school writers had to learn and memorize the rules of citation styles, the new generation students just breeze through the formatting process for any type of citation style.

Well, in my opinion, academic essay writing was previously a recession proof line of work and, as the pandemic surge in hired academic writing proved, was also a pandemic proof source of income However, what is was not is an Ai development proof occupation. While we did manage to beat the recession and the pandemic because schools remained open and students had a demand for high quality writing, the emergence of AI made the students try a new technology that they little understood but liked the output it produced. That is regardless of the slop that the technology produces and how the academics try to discourage students from the use of AIl. So the question we have to answer now is, can the essay industry survive the emergence of AI? Is academic AI writing here to stay? Will teachers and professors eventually cave and accept AI written papers as actually researched and student written papers?

Students tend to be lazy when it comes to writing their papers. They can barely get through reading their class ebooks, which is why they find great value in audio books. The more technology progresses, the lazier the students get. Their textbooks are read aloud to them like toddlers, their memorization is compromised and their listening skills barely improve. The same goes for their essay writing skills. They tend to do one of two things these days:

1. Have AI write the paper for them then have a human paid editor polish the paper. In this case, the student does not have any idea regarding what information the paper contains if he does not bother to read it before submission .

2. Write the paper themselves, have AI polish it, get a lousy grade, then hire a human to write the paper for the student properly.

In both cases, the students barely makes an effort to write the paper and they do not show any care for the quality of the paper they will be submitting for grading. At this rate, I do not know what to say to encourage students to write the papers themselves or at least participate in the writing process. While they will benefit from writing the paper themselves, they actually have yet to figure out the benefit of this practice for themselves. Only the most dedicated learners seem to be willing to write their papers on their own with minimal to no help.

Example academic papers can be churned out by AI for the students for free. What academic writers want to in this age of dwindling human writer demand, is prove the reasons why hiring a human to write a model paper is still better than using free Ai generated samples. The human writer will be able to churn out a paper that the student will be able to use either as an actual original submission, or as a good example of how he can write his own paper. Example academic writing is not as lucrative as it was 10 years ago, but the market is still there. It may not be enough to make a decent living as of now, but it can still offer decent pocket money when the work is there.

International students require writing help not because they are inadequate when it comes to academic writing, but because they are not confident enough in their grasp of the English language to trust that the paper they wrote would pass the requirements of an English native speaker professor. They want to do a good job with their coursework, assignments, and other tasks, but they fear that a language barrier will prevent them from performing well. That is what I believe to be the main reason that international students tend to resort to essay writing services. I had foreign students in the past who gained confidence I their own writing by having me write their papers. They learned from my work and adjusted their own writing accordingly, based on the score that the papers I wrote for them got.

It saddens me that the vibrant activity at this forum, no matter how negative it tended to get in the past, is now gone. It is almost as if those writers decided that the interaction they had at this forum was no longer worth it and they moved on without looking back. That said, the contribution that the word wars and company reviews gave in the past have helped both the past and present students by informing them about how this business works. I believe that the future students, who will probably be looking for human writers again, will still benefit from the observations and reports that were made by the previous participants of this forum.

The of independent writing has changed greatly over the past decade. We went from a vibrant community of freelancers who could easily afford life and its niceties by working for ourselves, to being at the mercy of 3 party middlemen who recruit is to train AI models. Academic writing as an independent writer is not that easy anymore either since students are still enthralled by the use of AI in developing their papers. Which we hope is a phase that is going to pass soon since AI is starting to mess up its own work for the big name companies like Ford, forcing them to go back to the human element of analysis and writing. Do we still have a future in this new age of writing as an independent writer? We will hang in there and see where the market will actually be in the next decade. AI is starting to lose its novelty as the new tech on the block.

Teachers and professors are more lenient these days when it comes to the use of bibliographies, articles, and data. They pretty much allow the students to use what sources they can find to use in their paper. Some students opt to just let AI do an automated form o the bibliography for their papers. Which should never be done. When professors provide articles and data to use, or when students are given the freedom to create their bibliographies, the only real requirement here is that the students should actually read these sources prior to use. For those students who still prefer human writers, they need to counter check the way that the writer's use the provided information in the paper. This will be the official confirmation of the accuracy of the provided data and also, that the writer used it in the proper manner. When the writer generates the bibliography page for the student, the student will know that it is accurately represented. So yes, students should still provide all of the aforementioned information to the researcher to guarantee the highest level of information dissemination through the researched paper.

General Talk / How to find essay writers? [34]

While this forum does still contain channels and methods by which one can contact an essay writer, it is important to understand that not all of the essay writers listed here are still active in the business. Some of them have moved on to other jobs where they can receive a more regular income and do not have to battle it out with AI for writing jobs. I do know that there are some writers listed here, who still dabble in academic writing even as they hold regular jobs already. Once an academic writer, always an academic writer. Use any of the services listed above to see the list of available writers, contact them, and see if they can be of service to you. You will never know if you have found a good essay writer until you ask.

Essay companies used to considered major scams. These days though, they are fighting for survival and learning that only be running an almost fully legitimate business will they be able to retain their clients or recruit new ones. The remaining essay writing companies actually seem to be transparent with their clients and future clients these days. They are like the mafia in the sense that they are doing their best to make their business legit by changing the rules that made them appear to be scams earlier on.

It is always advisable to paraphrase the original paper that was given to you by the writer. This will benefit you in several ways. The first way, is that you will be submitting a paper in your own writing style, which means your teacher will not be suspicious about the written content. This paper will come across as an original piece of work once scanned by a plagiarism or AI checker. Second, since the sample paper was never meant to be submitted for a grade, you will benefit from the revision because you will be reading about the topic and learning the course material in a manner similar to what would have resulted had you done your own research and written the paper yourself.

If human writers want to beat the AI writer, then they should not think twice about offering a discount to any client that comes their way. Consider it a show of good faith and a test of your actual writing skill. Impress the student with the discounted order and then pay regular prices for the next few orders, reserving your premium prices for the premium order set. That is the only way a writer can stay relevant and in business these days.

Hmmm... This url directs the person to the hiring page of the company instead of the order page. I wonder why that is so. It appears that they are in need of a writers pool at the moment. They have instructions about how to apply at the company, but then indicate that they are not hiring at the moment but will be hiring by September. This company is confusing. Either they are hiring writers, since that is where the link leads to, or they are not hiring. The students who would want to consider their service won't have much to go on using this link. There is no order related information located in it.

Research and writing experience in the field that you matriculated from is a definite must for an academic writer who wants to do a good job at writing a paper for a client. A human writer exceeds the abilities of an AI app because of the writing experience that comes through in the final product. Human knowledge and experience has information and content that has substance when compared to AI generated papers that cannot fully discuss an idea, a piece of information, or deliver on related personal experiences.

The company claims to have human written essays, yet they rely on chat bots for inquiries and communication. I am not sure I can trust that they are not trying to fool students into hiring their service, only to have AI write the paper for them. I mean, a company that tries to limit human contact with their client makes me highly suspicious of their writing pool. There could be only 1 writer on staff, the owner of the company, who is using AI to churn out paper after paper for the client for all we know.

I do not think AR has actually shut down, nor has it been sold to another owner. Instead, I believe they are keeping the con going since it serves their purpose of gathering data from unsuspecting students. Clearly their server shows that their services are not being hired as often as they used to, so they tend to not assign papers to their writers on a regular rotation basis. Those who hang in there manage to eke out a living, but only on 3rd world terms. It is not enough to be considered a decent wage by 1st and 2nd world standards.

Well, students are still running a scam on teachers when it comes to their research papers. This time, they are not using writing companies or independent writers. Well, there are some that still follow the traditional research writing service model, but more of them are using the AI research written paper these days. The difference is that teachers now have the tools with which to detect the writing scam that the students are running by the teachers on a daily basis. Some of them continue to turn a blind eye to the practice since the student actually fulfills the class requirements anyway. While some make it more difficult by orally quizzing the students after the submission of the paper. So it is a bit more difficult to scam the teachers who are actually determined to teach instead of merely fulling a grade requirement for their students.

Since the level of academic writing is based upon the subscription service to the AI, they are no better than the academic writing companies that they claim to be disgusted by and were trying to ban in the past.

During the days when the writers had more work than they could handle, paying a preferred writer fee was meant to help entice the writer to accept your order even though he was already overloaded with work. This was then thought of as a "tip" for the writer whose preferred status with the client was often dictated by the number of times that the student had hired the same writer. There are no preferred writer statuses available for writers these days at writing companies. The human writers are thankful to receive a regular order for a client. So they do a good job for the client, without any of the perks he used to receive.

Are there more willing-and-able writers than available orders?

There are definitely more willing and able writers these days, but the available orders have waned to an almost 0 level. That is because the students have decided to put their money behind AI written essays and often, engage academic writing companies that use Ai driven research and essay papers in pursuit of high quality writing. The number of customers willing to hire human writers are also lesser these days because of the technology take over. There will always be students who will want the human writers to produce their papers, just not as many as there were before.

Since the companies normally have writers from their existing pool write the web copy for the site, one can actually say that the web copy is a clear example of the quality of the essay that the company will produce. However, some companies have turned to AI to write the copy for their companies, knowing full well that their writers will not be able to reflect the quality of writing that the copy will show on the site. So students need to make sure that if they decide to engage a writing company, that they ask for a writing sample from the writer assigned to the task to ensure that the writer does have high writing abilities and can produce a top quality paper for the student.

I am not sure if this company even has a pulse at this point. They still have open hiring, but they never actually hire the writers beyond the test essay point which, was supposed to be paid, but they no longer pay for. If they cannot keep their word to pay writers for their test essays, how can we expect them to even pay their remaining pool of writers for the essays that they do complete for the handful of clients that stumble upon their service once in a while?

The dawn of AI has forced the writing companies to adapt to the new technology. They remain unscrupulous and criminal in actions only this time, they no longer victimize the writers. They victimize only the clients instead. If you are an academic writer looking go get a break in this field, do not do it by attaching yourself to the few companies left that still pretend to hire human writers. You will not find an honest one in the bunch. The biggest fakes can be found on Facebook and its associated companies.

This is a market that found itself going out of business the minute students turned to AI for academic writing, academic research, and sample paper generation. So, while there are still a few companies that are trying to resell essays, they have a difficult time pushing that business because they can get sample papers for free and even get it rewritten for free by the AI in some cases. They just need to check it for information accuracy and possible plagiarized content. In which case, they often submit the paper to a human editor to make sure that AI did not make a mess of the research paper.
