I adopted some of the UK writing services guidelines in respect to revisions, but only in a limited number of cases. When a client needs a dissertation I will offer them two prices - one that does not include revisions (unless they were my fault), and one that does. Most of the time, my US clients take the former, and UK/AU clients take the latter. However, I never offer free revisions for regular work unless it's objectively my fault.

As for refunds, the only time I would consider giving a refund is if I ruined the work entirely, missed the topic entirely, or missed the deadline. I make sure my clients understand that beforehand, to avoid problems down the road.

We had two Miniature Pins until recently. The older one got sick and had to be put down. My wife broke down and couldn't do it, so I had to. It was one of the worst moments of my life, so I understand the feeling completely. We got Illyria after that, and she's pretty much the sweetest dog I've ever seen. Just a tad stubborn but that's normal for every Irish Wolfhound, at least from what I know. She adores kids, but her tail can be a dead trap if she gets overly excited. Still, the sweetest creature, and now I can't imagine how we lived without a giant dog before.

It takes years of hard work to build a name, but it's well worth the effort. It's difficult to do in almost every profession, but even more so in essay writing due to its specific nature. And once you have built a name, you have to safeguard it from all sorts of malicious attacks - from scams and false reviews, to crooked competitors trying to cheat you of your work and your money.

What kind of a monster doesn't allow fluffy companions :)
We have a cat but he's a grumpy old bugger - doesn't really like anybody except his food bowl and his bed

@Major
True that :))))

Thank you both. I guess people who don't have the skills to compete have to resort to baseless accusations and attacks to get ahead.

You're working from the assumption that I need to fake reviews, which is a false assumption. I started this work in 2012, and only implemented reviews in 2015 (or late 2014), when I stumbled on ReviewBuddy. By then I was already well established and had a steady workflow. Tell you what, to prove all those reviews are real, I am willing to send a list of emails of clients who posted them to EssayScam and end this charade. You have no clue about my business, or anything else it seems, and I don't want to waste my time. I will however, defend myself from baseless accusations from morons such as you.

There's just one problem with your theory. I don't need false reviews, I have dozens and hundreds of them on sites I work for as a freelancer. I never force my clients to leave reviews because this business is what it is, but those that are there are legit.

Once students find what they're looking for they don't really linger on this site. I'd advise you to do a thorough search online (and on this forum) before making a decision. Doubt anyone will answer here - unless I specifically ask them to, which I wont (since it got one of my colleagues in a boatload of trouble couple of years back).

There's a big difference between saying that you are confident in producing high quality work and saying "you will get an A, even if a meteor falls tomorrow and we're all dead." :)

Offering any kind of grade guarantee is illegal, immoral, and impossible. Good luck to anybody who believes that bull&hit.

Or just don't take a vacation during the rush season. I can usually always spend a week or two during August without having to worry too much. Although my laptop never leaves my side, and I never go anywhere with poor wi-fi reception.

AFAIK there's only one such individual that also advertises on the forum. Khm khm khm :)

They take 1% fee per transaction, that's it.

Well, the way it works is I get paid in bitcoin calculated for that day, and the money gets transferred to my bank account every day. That way the exchange rate doesn't really affect me (at least not as much), as it would if I actually kept the crypto currency for longer periods.

In my opinion, too many people who are neither qualified nor able enroll to college just to get a degree that will get them nowhere in life. Trades are slowly pushed aside as "low" class labor, when in fact they pay (in some cases) almost twice as much as regular "white collar" jobs - take for example welders, mechanics, etc. It seems as if anything that doesn't require a college degree is somehow not acceptable, which is absurd and creates massive distortions in the marketplace. Having 100s of thousands of sociology/anthropology majors is not really good for the economy, even if it's good for our industry!

Because many of my clients ask if that specific form of payment is available. I pay PayPal fees, so why not pay Bitpay fees?

PS used to be a legit british company, at least back in 2012-2013 when I was researching them. Never actually worked for them since my own thing kinda took off, but from what I found, they were legit and paid very well. Don't know what happened to them, or even if they're still in business.

Recommendations are not allowed, but if you use the search function and other tools on this site, you'll find what you're looking for. Best of luck

Judging by their website copy, I'd steer clear

"To alleviate your mind and make interaction more effective, we use just U.S-based specialists, all whom hold academic degrees in their discipline. We background check each tutors and hold them to the greatest requirements of quality to guarantee your total security and success with Examonlinehelp.xyz. We'll take your online class seriously, so you can get the grade we understand you be worthy of. All you need to do is pay somebody to take my online class then kick back and unwind!."

" We take pride in our work, therefore ought to you."

Some more brilliance:

"That is why our specialists keep the price really low. Due to the fact that we desire to spread out instructional help to everybody, this is. We desire everybody ought to get the chance and assistance to go excellent in examinations."

Not to bash on your parade, but you're wrong. And I'm not speaking about myself, either. Even though I wrote, and still write for companies that are based in the US, that service US clients (mostly), and are not anywhere near the "shady" bunch that you see students complaining about (I avoid those like the plague as should every reputable writer).

In general, there are individuals who can reproduce the spoken, and written, language that is not their native with complete accuracy. Just look at some of the writers who published in the English language whilst being foreign born, or many others who write, or speak, perfectly, and work in some aspect of publishing or related fields. Or those who published in French, Italian, or any other number of languages that were not their own.

The problem is, for each one of those, you get a thousand completely illiterate hacks, but that's to be expected I assume, even if it's a shame. Point being, what you said is not even remotely close to a truth, as you say. However, it is mostly true in this particular industry which is why it is such a dastardly affair for naive students.

That's a fair point, and something I do as well. But that's only for new clients who have reservations, and in most cases it's not a part of a project, but a small independent project to establish trust. Doing that repeatedly with clients who come back is just a hassle I'm not willing to accept to be completely honest.

While you're welcome to go about your business whichever way you see fit, splitting payments for papers under 20-30 pages is just a gigantic waste of time for both sides. Having to send dozens of emails to and from just to finalize a 10 page paper is just not worth the effort, not to mention one can write three papers in the time it took to finalize one. But, if it makes you happy, knock yourself out.

Clearly neither you nor the OP have ever had to deal with the influx of orders during the hot season. When you have to write 4-5 or more papers each day, talk to customers, send bills, cook, clean, take out your dog, and find time to sleep on top, you have absolutely no time whatsoever to accommodate partial payments (except in cases of large orders over 20-30 pages), regular updates, and other similar nonsense. Just answering emails takes at least 2 hours a day, time you could spend writing so you can get more sleep. It goes something like this - you take the order, charge the client, forget about it until your calendar beeps red, write the paper, send the paper, and move on to the next paper you have booked in your calendar, which is completely redded out during the season.

This system may, and only may, work for new writers, but even then it's far to complicated and time consuming.

Hot damn, I wish I had two decades of experience. Where can I get that?

What an absolute load of bullcrap LOL

It's pretty accurate, just push Jan a bit down and June a bit up - at least from my perspective. Also, April and May should be way higher, somewhere around the range of November

While I understand the idea of giving discounts for longer deadlines, from my own perspective it makes very little sense, as the quality of the final product will be the same, regardless of the date. I only recognize, and use, price hikes for rushed jobs, but then again, so does everybody else probably. Also, I don't like that you try to imply that the only "legitimate" services are those from the UK/US. There are perfectly legit ESL services out there, which don't shy away from the fact they are, in fact, ESL.

I don't think putting "academic freelance writer" in your resume would resonate well anywhere. However I agree that this job requires a certain skill-set that is not very common and includes a combination of mental fortitude, quick wit, wide and deep education, resourcefulness, and the ability to work under extreme duress for long hours. I think most employers would want a candidate with such skills in their company, especially for challenging tasks.

Any writer worth their salt in this business can write 2 pages per hour without breaking a sweat. Without trying to blow my own horn (although I am apparently), I write approximately 3-4 pages per hour when I'm completely focused. 10 pages is not really a problem once you have a routine, but I remember the first paper I wrote for money clearly, it was a economy paper and about 8 pages long. Worked on it for 2 straight days. It took me about a month of stress and sleepless nights to realize the whole thing could be done in under 3 hours. Five years later, and I don't even blink when I get requests for 10 pagers. Most students don't really understand how this works, and they are under the impression that I have to prepare for their paper days in advance, collect sources and make a writing plan (because that's how they're taught), when in fact I just sit down and start writing on the day of the deadline.

That's true, but only in 1st year classes. Junior and higher tend to have a more close-up and personal connection to the teacher, especially in smaller schools.

There's a difference between knowing and being able to prove something. I'd imagine most students who write for themselves and then order papers that they submit for credit have a much higher chance of being discovered than those who use writing services from the get go. Also, swapping writers tends to increase the chances of being discovered. However, professors cannot know for sure, unless they receive some intel from a third party. They can, however, suspect a great deal of things, including a student is buying papers.

1) Run-of-the-mill ESL writers can earn anywhere between $1 and $800 per week (some earn more if they are very quick). This depends, mostly, on their ability and reading/comprehension skill/speed. Not to mention whether they work for companies or as independent writers makes a whole bunch of difference.

2) Very good ESL writers can earn significantly more (I know of one who makes upwards of $2k per week during the hot season), but they are very, very rare. While I don't know of all writers of this caliber, I cannot imagine there being more than 10-20 who earn such figures without off-sourcing their work. ENL writers are a different story altogether.

3) There are none, you can write and/or run your own company. Other than that, this is not a career you flash around in your CV.

4) What they don't know can't hurt them.

Didn't you get the memo FW? We're all fascists and racists now......

Writing speed is useful, but it's much more important how fast can a writer process information. If you take 3 hours to read a single article, you won't make much money. Reading, comprehension and analysis skills are more relevant than writing speed.

Sadly, that's far to common. Students, and all other customers, should do their due diligence beforehand to avoid scams.

Been there, done that, doesn't work. After a month trying to make that system work (some 5 years ago), I simply stopped giving in and decided to charge upfront for all orders. Haven't looked back since. While most clients are decent human beings and will not cheat you, some will, and that's a risk I'm not willing to take. Especially not when my schedule does not permit me to write papers over several days.

And then we get a smart fellow every now and again who claims that we're basically thieves for charging up front. I imagine the payment rate for writers who charge after delivery is somewhere in the low 20%, if not less.
