This sounds more like a tongue in cheek message rather than an advertisement for a legitimate independent writing service. I believe that this post was meant by the OP as sarcasm at the highest degree. She was hoping she could bait someone into responding to her in an inflammatory manner so that she could do what she does best, snipe at anybody who believes counter to her and tries to shed light on her lack of actual knowledge of the industry and how it works. She lives in a world of her own where what she listed qualifies her services as excellent. I bet she did not get a single client for her "services" even though she spun her post to make herself sound like Joan of Arc. A 30 minute turn around with that many words in it ? Who was she trying to fool. Obviously nobody fell for her scam as I don't see anybody posting in the thread about how her services are "truly excellent".

The guidelines you provide to help the students do their own research does not take several points into consideration. One of these points is that the students may be capable of writing their papers but their time management skills are non-existent. A student who is paying his way through school needs to work as many jobs as possible to keep himself afloat and in school. So, while he has time to attend classes, extra time to do the homework and projects may not exist. Which is why they need additional assistance. Another factor is that students are afraid to approach their lecturers for help because they fear the repercussions of such an action. Students often think that when they approach the professor for help, that the professor may think they are incapable of handling the class requirements and the impression that is created will lower their grades because their professor doesn't have confidence in the student's ability to complete the class and its requirements in a proper manner. These students will then seek the help of a professional academic writer in order to avoid creating the wrong impression or having to admit to their professor that they are falling behind in class and need help.

I believe that pricing regulations just kicked into the academic outsourcing industry. That is why the costing for the papers have fallen into a somewhat uniform pricing scheme already. It isn't that the scam companies have forced the upright companies to follow their prices. Rather, it is that the scam companies have decided to charge the same price as the legitimate companies in an effort to make their offices seem more "legitimate" than the companies actually are. Their prices do not change the fact that they are focused on shortchanging the clients who come to them for service. It doesn't mean that the quality of their writers have improved, or that they have stopped hiring third rate writers. All it means is that they are becoming wise to the fact that the students are slowly coming to realize that the quality of the papers they receive are commensurate to the price they are willing to pay for it. So they have brought their prices up to a similar level as the legitimate companies. The legitimate companies have no need to lower their prices. Their clients know that they are paying for quality work. Just like any commercial company, the legitimate ones offer discounts to privileged clients or on a seasonal basis in order to draw more money in. It doesn't represent anything but a commercial campaign to increase sales.

@editor75 On the contrary, most students these days want one of two things: (1) a degree that leads to an actual job or (2) a job that doesn't require them to have a formal college degree. That is why STEM is being pushed very hard in the 7-12 program. One need not have spent 4 or more years in college to get a job these days. It makes more sense to prepare for the workplace rather than the degree while in high school. That way you assure yourself of having a paid, regular gig, without incurring the unreasonable student loans that keep a regular college student in debt almost into their retirement. It isn't about the degree anymore because the internet has allowed people to self learn to the point where a non-college graduate could very well turn out to be smarter, more capable, and more dedicated to his job than the college graduate. The school of practical experience always knocks the socks off the theoretical school of college and that is often proven in this modern world.

If you are not planning on using the service of the company after the situation that caused the "credit" to your account, then no, you can't consider that a money back guarantee. A money back guarantee means exactly that, a financial credit to your account or credit card. A "credit" assumes that you will use the service again, which I don't think you plan on doing. The "credit" is a scam just like the physical stores are running these days. The receipt says "no refunds" or "exchange of item is allowed within 7 days". That is a "credit" in the physical world. It forces you take a service you do not want or buy an item you don't really need because they refuse to return your cash. Therefore, you should file a complaint with your credit card company or open a Paypal dispute because you are being scammed. You know very well that the experience that led to the "credit" will most likely happen again but you will use the "credit" anyway because you see it as a "free" paper which technically, it isn't.

I find it funny that the title for this post gave me the wrong impression. I actually came to this post hoping to read about how to become a better researcher and maybe pick up a trick or two in terms of how to better edit a paper. Instead, I was hit with various forms of veiled advertising from various posters in the thread. It somehow made me think that the thread and its successive responses were written by one and the same person. How and why these disguised endorsements were allowed to stay on the forum this long puzzles me. I won't let it bother me though since the moderators decided it was alright for these indirect recommendations and endorsements to stay on the forum. I find myself wondering why there is a ban on recommendations but not on these sorts of posts. It seems to run counter to the "no recommendations" allowed rule. If I were the moderator, I would have shut down and deleted this thread. Since I have nothing to do with that sort of decision making though, I will just this post be. I just wanted to air my confusion at what happened here.

I really can't believe how much students believe that recommendations are not allowed at this forum. Recommendations ARE allowed, just not on EssayScam itself and not on an individual basis. Only the owners of the forum are allowed to make recommendations here. Just look at the banner at the top of the page and it screams "RECOMMENDATIONS!" to the high heavens. Everything from EssayChat, EssayDirectory, the direct banners promoting GraduatePapers.com, Custompapers.com, and the writers / services links are all direct recommendations if I ever saw one. That is why students should not be constantly asking, "Can you recommend a site or a writer to me?". The recommendations are staring you in the face and you refuse to recognize it. Those writers and companies are "recommended" by the owners of this forum and are reliable in terms of delivering on their promised service. If you want to find out which sites not to use, just scroll down to the Do Not Discuss or DND list. Those companies request not to be discussed here for a reason, they are believed to be, proven to be, and are known to be scam academic outsourcing companies.

The bottomline is, students get scammed because they are clueless about how to go about finding an appropriate and reliable academic outsourcing company or independent writer. They are too engrossed with simply getting the service that they need for a fraction of the cost that they tend to accept a proposal from the first company that offers them what seems to be a lucrative deal. Low cost per page and assured quality. While I will agree that these two descriptive terms do not go hand in hand, students new to the academic outsourcing scene won't know that. They get scammed because of their inexperience. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyone who goes in looking for a writing service blindly face a high rate of being scammed. That is not to say that they were not careful. They were careful but uneducated about the darker side of the service so they fell through the cracks and got scammed. There is no need to be so hard on these students, they feel bad enough as it is. There is no sense in rubbing salt on their wounds and explaining in great detail why and how they got scammed.

It isn't possible to accurately gauge the client demographics of a writer whose independent work is directly tied in with the academic outsourcing company that he is attached with. These companies do not require their clients to share their gender and the clients don't share their gender unless it is a requirement for the paper that was ordered. As an independent writer who does have direct access to the gender of the clients as the writer deals directly with the person, it is difficult to compartmentalize the client demographics into genders. There aren't just 2 genders available as options these days so it would be politically incorrect to just divide the number of clients into 2. That totally disregards the LGBTQ community in its survey and as such, cannot be considered an accurate representation of client demographics. Oh how I long for those simpler times when this question could have easily been resolved and responded to by just filling 2 columns and then reporting on the final number count. No feelings hurt, no insults accidentally made. Here's some advice, don't try to figure out the number of your client demographics. It's next to impossible to do these days.

There are some academic outsourcing companies that claim to require a masters degree for their writers in the guise of "specializing" in masters degree and PhD papers. However, I believe that this is an exaggeration on the part of the company because their company cannot exist in such a narrow niche market. Most of these companies make their money from high school and college students who do not need specialized writers doing their work. The companies that claim to require such a high standard of education for their writers are hiding a secret. Maybe they are a scam company that doesn't really complete the work that is ordered, hence their lack of need for a working roster of writers who can write at all levels of academic learning. Or maybe, and I this something I heard from a friend who also works in the business, this person is an independent writer who is looking for other independent writers to whom he can pass off higher writing level work to. For most writing companies, the most they require is a complete college education. A masters degree is optional.

So you have just started your writing company and you want to get your profile out there. You are in luck because you can actually pay to advertise at this site. That is not to be confused with asking for a recommendation as most students often do here. You have a number of choices for your advertising needs here. You can either pay to advertise your company as a part of EssayDirectory or, you can pay to be listed as an independent writer under the "Writers / Services" section of EssayForum. It is just a question of how much you are willing to spend to become prominently advertised in the sections I mentioned. Even if you change your mind and you decide that you don't want to pay to advertise, simply being an active participant at this forum and proving that you can be trusted as an independent writer will be more than enough to gain you free advertising. The word of mouth advertising will come free with every satisfied client you deal with.

@ai983 what you call impeccable writing is actually quite flawed. I can almost see the kind of 3rd rate research test you submitted to the company. Your grammar errors in this post are enough to tell me that if you lasted this long in the business, you probably did it as part of a fly by night company that doesn't really care about the quality of the work that their writers produced. Which is probably the reason why you were not hired by the company you were applying to. Even as a scam company, they would like to portray some sort of quality when it comes to choosing their writers. Or, another scenario, is that you were applying for acceptance at a satellite / sisters / affiliate company of the academic outsourcing company you were originally attached to. These companies keep tabs on their writers and share their writer records with the affiliated in order to prevent double applications or work profiles. That is because you will be looking at the same system server and you will most likely catch on the con. Hence the double rejection that you received.

I don't get it. What was the resolution of your situation with this writer? There are a number of loopholes in this story that makes me think there is something not on the level with the OP. If the writer tried to extort him to no avail, why is he discussing the events in public? I mean, if it were me in his situation, I would keep that under wraps and not let anybody know about what almost happened to me. I also find this post hurtful to the legitimate independent writers here because this person did not clarify how he came into contact with the blackmailer. Those who read his post may assume that he made contact with that writer through the networking channels of ES, which I am sure was not the case. I just hope that the readers remained logical enough to realize that this person was spewing a story that had nothing to do with the writers here. I really believe that he should have shared more information regarding how he sourced this criminal in order to clear the independent writers who are members of ES and who would never blackmail a student, even if the order did not work out the way the writer hoped it would.

Cheating is par for the course with students. These days, college has become ultra competitive and doesn't leave much time for a student to breathe, much less get some time to rest their brains from the demands of their classes, research, homework, extra curricular activities, etc. It is has practically become an open secret in the university circles that students hire additional help to deal with their assignment and class research requirements in order to keep their heads above water. So the newspapers decide to cover the amount of cheating that goes on. What does this accomplish? Nothing. Unless the educational system changes so that research is no longer required, assignments are mere options for increased grades, and examinations are no longer considered the yardstick by which the theoretical learning of a student is measured, cheating will always be a necessary evil for the students. If the students are graded on actual, practical application of their lessons instead of incessant written work, then maybe, the rate of cheating can be lowered or cheating can be totally avoided. Until that happens, everyone just accept that massive cheating works as a helpful tool for the student's academic accomplishments.

All of these warnings are going to fall on deaf ears with the students because of the one reason that they fall for the fraudulent writing services and that is, the price. They fall for the empty promises and deceive themselves into thinking that they are hiring a legitimate service because they choose to ignore the obvious warning signs like the questionable phone numbers and other methods of contact. There are even times when no phone numbers are given and only social media contact, such as Facebook Messenger is given as a contact point. That alone should be a fiery red flag to be cautious when dealing with the people behind the website. No self respecting business would have only one point of contact, specially on social media. Neither would they call a Skype phone number an office contact number. When faced with these two particular contact methods, it should be more than obvious that the site is running a scam. Like I said though, if the student opts to turn a blind eye to the warning signs, he will find himself dealing with all the problems that come out of contracting a fraudulent writing service.

I am not so sure about that. These days, it is difficult to find a private writer that can be trusted because the con writers have been wreaking havoc on the independent writer industry. They have been blackmailing students, not delivering papers, not communicating with the student, all of which have led the students to develop a certain degree of distrust for privately hired writers. When dealing with an academic writing company, most of these problems are eliminated although, the quality of the paper is not assured because of the possibility of the company assigning the paper to a 3rd rate writer, just to get the client to pay for the order. That is not to say though that I am making a blanket statement that independent writers should be distrusted. There are those who are trustworthy and really take care of their reputation as a solo writer. It is just a bit difficult to find them because Google no longer allows independent academic writers to be listed in their search engine. However, sites like EssayScam have made it a lot easier to find reliable writers to deal with so, provided the student is willing to take the chance, finding an independent writer through ES just might be his ticket towards a properly written academic paper.

You don't need to look for a good and reliable college admission essay company. Any of the independent writers at this forum can do that job excellently for you. Just send any of the writers here (I am not one of them as I am not a writer nor am I a company representative, my existence here remains a mystery to most) a DM or email inquiring about their services and your negotiation process should begin in a painless manner. If you want to still use an essay company, then I suggest you make contact with any of the banner companies above or a company that is part of EssayDirectory. That is the closest that you will get to a referral from anybody here since the forum is not allowed to influence the decision of the students seeking services by making direct endorsements. The Services and Writers section typically does the same thing, in an indirect manner. Use the available tools at this forum to find the right kind of essay writing company or independent writer that you need. The last thing you need is an endorsement that might go wrong. Research, investigate, then make a personal choice. You can never go wrong that way.

How do you find a legitimate website in this industry? The truthful answer is you don't. It is extremely difficult to find a legitimate company online, specially since some of the originals have either gone out of business because of all the quacks that came after them or, the companies are using paid for fictitious US or UK based addresses and phone numbers. IP addresses can be bounced all over the world until you can't even tell when it started anymore, and companies can claim to have simply changed their company name over time so they have been in existence for far longer than their blurb allows them to admit. A client can knock himself out trying to find evidence of a legitimate company or, and this is the more common occurrence when looking for a valid academic outsourcing company, the client can just take a leap of faith and hope that all goes well with his paper. If the transaction goes smoothly the first time and the same pain-free experience is repeated over a period of time, then that is the best that can happen. It's not about the legitimacy of the company than it is about the building of trust and repeat business that gives a company or a writer a better sense or image as a legitimate academic research company or independent academic writer.

Building up your client base should be easier these days provided you have the time to virtually promote your business. Setting up a legitimate website is a good start. Then you keep the momentum going by starting a blog connected to your site and pay to have your blog, not the site promoted. Don't promote your site because Google has rules against promoting academic services these days.

The work around is to pay to promote your blog instead. Make sure the blog is also connected to your Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media handles so that you get cross promotion for your blog, which leads to your website. These methods prove to be far more efficient these days than word of mouth or pounding the pavement and handing out your calling cards at the student relaxation spots.

Just make sure that you will treat the first time clients very well because it is their word of mouth that will get you additional clients. Be true to your word and deliver quality work on time, without plagiarism, or revisions required. This should allow you to see some trickle of clients coming your way.

I would like to believe that if the non-native English writer was fed the English language from the crib, was educated in what amounts to the best international schools in his country, and has the ability to surround himself with English culture and learning material then yes, he could turn out to be an excellent academic writer later on. There is just one problem with this scenario, if the non-native English speaker were raised in such a manner, then that would mean that he was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. Finances are not going to be an issue for him and as such, he would not have any need to work as a 3rd rate academic writer in the industry. Hmmm... let me think about it a little more... Nope. I don't think it can happen. There is just too much of an educational system discrepancy between the ENL and non-ENL writer for the latter to be able to come up to par with the writing skills of the ENL academic writer.

These writer situations are the exact reason why I believe that it is sometimes more advantageous to the student if he goes with an essay writing service rather than directly hiring a writer. In instances when contact with a writer becomes next to impossible, you can bet that the company will go out of its way to get another, more reliable writer assigned to the paper. The last thing the company would want to do is refund even a part of the payment they have received for the order so they will do their best to resolve the issue without causing too much inconvenience on both ends. There are no excuses regarding missed communication and deadlines because the company will be ringing up a storm on the phone of the writer just to get that paper done on time. When a client deals with a writer directly and he decides not to respond to emails, this is exactly what happens and in the process, the guilty writer gives the rest of the independent writers a bad reputation as well.

There are just so many writing companies these days that it is next to impossible to tell the legitimate companies from the illegitimate ones. As a writer with experience working for various companies, you may even find out that you are applying to work at a company that is an associate or exists under the umbrella of the first company you worked for. Decent international writers might exist, and by that I mean those not based in the US or UK, but the companies may not be decent enough to hire them or treat them well. May I ask why you are looking to be connected to a new company at this point? You seem to have enough freelance contracts to keep you afloat at the moment. So why look for other companies to work for? It is not easy to find companies that would want to hire academic writers at the moment. The companies seem to be expanding their services from academic work to copywriting so you may not be able to find a company to hire you just for "academic needs" at the moment.

@sam24 Since you no longer pursued advice regarding what happened to you, I can only assume that you were somehow able to resolve the issue? In which case, it would be nice if you had at least informed us about how you solved the situation. I will admit though that I find these blackmail operations being run by fly by night writers hilarious. They always assume that a student will be so fraught with fright that the schmuck would just fork over the money, no questions asked, begging for their "secret" to be kept. When there is absolutely no way that these scammers can do what they are threatening to do and they should instead, be fearing the chargeback claims being filed against them. If enough chargeback claims are filed against a particular "seller account", Paypal can go so far as to ban that particular user. Believe me, these idiots don't have the money to place the long distance call to wherever just to call the police and your university. The amount of money they would spend on that would probably be equivalent to at least a month's wages for them. So don't worry, just laugh in their faces. These threats mean nothing.

I recently learned that one way of checking for the plagiarism in model papers is something that not everyone (or maybe it's just me) has thought of doing. That is, taking a specific section of the paper you were given, enclosing it in quotes, then posting it directly into the Google search box. This normally returns any portions or a full essay from a different source if it was only copy pasted. It is accurate as Google scans all of the websites in its directory for similar words, phrases, or sentences and returns all similar results. The reason why I recommend this method these days to students is because the file is not stored on any server as the online plagiarism checkers tend to do and the search is highly accurate since Google is the biggest and most up to date search engine (as far as I know) so plagiarism checking becomes less bloody and ideally, less of a pain in the behind for the students. I've tried it a number of times with the students who consult with me and the results have been highly acceptable in terms of returning plagiarized content.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread it. It is a redundancy in my opinion because the forum exists to actually do what the OP is asking participants to do in this thread. The whole forum is meant to expose the scam of evil academic writing companies and blow the lid off the scam that some independent writers are running through various means. There is no need to ask the participants of this forum to specifically discuss their experiences in this thread because the forum is already divided into discussion sections specifically to give the aggrieved students a voice and a place to air their disappointment, anger, and disgust at their treatment at the hands of the aforementioned criminals. This post is nothing but a lure for the OP to flame the other users here. Luckily, we all decided to kick him in the pants instead because we were all on to his scam. The way he talks tells us that he is up to no good and his comments, not given the time of day.

I really can't understand why people keep asking for company referrals when they know very well that it is against the forum rules.

If only they would use their eyes and scan the page, they would see that ES already has a list of recommended companies in EssayDirectory, reliable independent writers under the Writers and Services link, as well as open endorsements for GraduateWriter and CustomPapers.

It just doesn't make sense to me. All of the tools required for the students to gain access to reputable academic outsourcing companies and reliable independent writers are at their fingertips and they still fail to see it. What needs to be done for the students to come to their senses and realize that if the company is in the DND list, then they should run far away from those companies.

I also thought that their friends and classmates would make very good sources for referrals to companies and writers with whom they have had good work relationships with in the past.

Why would they rather ask strangers here than the people whom they interact with everyday? Using a model paper is an open secret in the academic world anyway.

If you even have to ask how to become a freelance writer, then you won't make it in this business. Nobody can "guide" you in the ways of becoming a freelance writer. That is something that one develops as a skill over a given period of time. First, ask yourself if you are really any good at doing research work. Next, consider taking the TOEFL or IELTS test in order to get an accurate measurement of your ESL skills. If you can't pass either of those tests, then you have no business becoming a freelance writer. The problem these days is that every Tom, Dick, and Harry who can string together a somewhat coherent sentence in English coming from the third world countries thinks he can become a writer. Then he gets hired as a seat warmer by a scam company and he then dares to call himself a writer. Don't expect guidance when you aren't even giving us information about what you are doing in terms of searching for a job in the field, what your academic level of learning is, and why you think you have the credentials to make it in this business.

Here's the thing, being leeched comes with certain perks. The biggest of which is never having to look for a client or wonder where the next batch of work will be coming from. If you strike out on your own, you will need to handle your finances quite delicately as you try to build your client base. Which will also be difficult because the market is saturated with both freelance writers and academic writing companies. In my opinion, you shouldn't break out on your own. You should instead work on diversifying your writing skills.

Think beyond academic writing and student assignment assistance prospects.

Look at other options in the same field. Paid blogging, e-novel writing, and ghostwriting are but a few careers you can move into if you feel you have the talent for it. Academic writing is still a viable market for most writers. It's just that the pay is becoming a bigger issue every year.

While I admit that being leeched is a bad thing, sometimes, one simply has to bite the bullet in order to survive. It's your call to make.

Not everyone who is an independent writer is a fraud and not all companies are frauds either. That is why the website has an EssayDirectory and an independent writer listing. While these are not recommended sites and writers, these are pretty much the more reliable writers and companies in the business. Don't consider any company from the DND or Do Not Discuss list because the complaints about those companies are numerous and the service is so bad, they have been complained about endlessly by the student users here. They don't want to be discussed because it hurts their bottom line. Trust is not something you can give to those companies because they have a proven fraud track record.

Remember though that even if you choose a service or writer connected with this site, there are risks involved so the trust should be doled out over time, as your relationship with the company or writer grows. A 50 page order is too big to take a risk on but, if you really need the help on such a large order, then do so cautiously. I strongly recommend asking friends about their experiences with other writing companies that may or may not be listed on this site. Referrals usually get better writers and also discounts on their orders. Who wouldn't want that right? If they worked well for several friends, then you can trust them just a little bit more than if you went into the deal blind.

The academic outsourcing sites actually send out notifications to writers who have had inactive accounts for more than a year to remind them to log-in so that the account will remain active.

It is very possible that they did have that many writers on staff but then the writers probably got embroiled in some payment issues with the company (the most common reason that they would stop checking into the account) and decide to just let the account "expire".

This was probably one of those instances. The company does some "spring cleaning" every so often, specially when the orders on the server become less and less so that there are not enough orders to go around the existing writers accounts. When the "hot" season, meaning the regular school year starts up, they open the vacated slots to a new set of victims, I mean writers. Then the cycle begins anew.

The number of writers that you saw listed are probably the number of currently active writers on the site. Meaning they have ongoing work. That count is different from the overall tally of writers registered with the site.

It can get confusing at times to try and figure out how many writers there actually are so I stopped trying to figure it out a long time ago.

Well, that is certainly an impressive resume. So why did you post it here? Such as skilled and successful person as yourself would not need to post his resume here in the hopes of garnering clients when you have such an impressive background. So, what gives? I find it hard to believe that you posted this information here just because you wanted to be nice and offer an example of an "excellent" job application letter. By the way, you shouldn't be tooting your own horn here. What may seem "excellent" to you may only be "acceptable" to others. Show some humility, if you have any. I think, you aren't really changing careers. I am convinced that you are trying to fish for clients which is why you posted your "Resume" here. This is not an example. This is you trying to get around the forum rules about blatant advertising and self promotion. That's why I am wondering why your post was allowed to stay here all these years. I bet it did not do you any good though. The students are wise to these self aggrandizing posts.

It is really difficult to find an on the level academic outsourcing website due to the way that the internet allows the companies to mask their actual locations. It also doesn't help that U.S. addresses can be bought online so that they can continue the masquerade. The best option in this instance would be for your to contact a writer directly using say the Writers link above. You can discuss your project directly with the writer and also call for an actual English conversation if you want to be extremely confident that you are not talking to an ESL writer pretending to be an ENL. Personally, I would rather that the student give writing his own essay a shot first before calling on professional help. After all, the essays help the student learn how to function in the real world, passing the task off to someone else for any reason seems to be a disservice to the learning process. One should only use an academic writer for extreme situations of need and not just because one doesn't feel the desire to complete his research paper on his own.

If you were just busy, then you have very poor time management skills. It doesn't make sense. The other students who are holding down part time jobs manage to keep their grades up and their class requirements are completed on time. Those who can't complete the work on time, but are good performers in the class more often than not, request for and are granted an extension on the deadline. You claim to be an average student who does well in class and can write his own papers. So why didn't you try to get an extension instead? There is something that just doesn't seem right with your claims about your abilities to write a B grade paper. However, I will grant that you probably got one of the company writers from the DND list of this site. So you ended up being scammed. Hard lesson learned. Considering they offered to refund the cost of the paper (did you actually get it back?) I am wondering why you are complaining so much. It seems to me that all's well that ends well. Whatever low grade you got from the paper, if you decided to submit it, is something that you can easily make up for, based upon you previous statement. If you did not use the paper and submitted your own, you should just be considering what happened a lesson in trusting other people during critical times.

You make the job of an independent writer sound like manna from heaven when nothing can be farther from the truth. Sure you can work your own hours and provide an invaluable service to the students in need, while also honing your own intelligence in the process. The biggest drawback of being an independent writer aren't the taxes one has to pay, it is having to deal with the issues that crop up in the performance of your task that makes it a bane to do the work at times. If you are an independent writer who is contracted with a company, and unfortunately, that happens to be one of the problem companies, then you have to deal with fines, endless revision requests, and delayed salaries. If you are a direct hire independent writer, then you face the daily possibility of chargeback claims, defamation from clients who aren't satisfied with your work or are looking for reasons not to pay you, the list goes on and one. So yeah, while the job pays well, that payment always comes at a cost, depending upon your work situation.

The way I see it, the model paper is meant to make the job of the student easier. The whole paper is completed by someone else and all the student has to do at that point is read the paper, make sure he understands what the writer indicated and then, he or she can revise the paper to suit his or her own "voice". This is the tricky part of buying an academic paper. You need to make sure that you understand what your paper is about in the first place so that you can follow what the writer, provided he is a good writer and not a sham, and then rewrite the statements in your own words. The only parts you should not change are the in-text citations as those are direct references to the original source. If the writer paraphrased someone else in the essay, then you paraphrase the writer but indicate the original source. That is the only way that you can be pretty sure that your paper will pass a plagiarism check and that the professor will be none the wiser.

One way to make sure that the client is satisfied with the paper that was ordered is by developing a payment scheme that covers the duration of the writing process. It is not difficult for the writer to ask for an upfront, non-refundable fee of 25 % at the start of the contract. Then, a draft of the partially completed paper can be submitted for the approval and corrections of the client, however, the requested revisions will not be completed unless another 25% of the full cost of the paper is made to the writer. Upon final submission, the remaining 50% of the cost of the full paper should be paid. The agreement being that the balance is to be paid in full at least 24 hours before the paper is due otherwise, the final paper will not be delivered nor will a refund of the previous payments be honored. By having the client pay in tranches, he also gets some time to gather his funds so that he can make the scheduled payments to the writer on time.

When this post was originally created, the focus of advertising for the website was still mostly SEO related. The better your SEO set up on your site, the higher the site ranking. These days though, it isn't as much as SEO keywords that push your site up the ladder. Rather, it is all about how much money you are willing to put in and for how long in the advertisement of the site. All the search engines have pay to advertise schemes that highlight your site within its search engines by placing the site at the top of the paid with a tag identifying it as an ad. The positioning and visibility of the ad will all depend upon how much you paid to be advertised, for how long, and on how many platforms. As with everything else in this capitalistic world, it's all about the money. Money helps you get to places you desire to get to. You want to be the most recognized name in the biz? Then shell out big bucks for advertising. The companies you pay to advertise your services will handle all of the SEO confusion for you.

As far as I know, only professor have successfully started and adjourned plagiarism cases in the universities. Since the writer is not part of the academic faculty, nor is he a student at the university, his claims of plagiarism may not carry much weight in the eyes of the dean and the professor concerned. What makes such a scenario even more difficult to turn into a reality is that the writer who does this has to be willing to blow his cover in the academic outsourcing community because the dean, professor, and students will know all about it and, as they say, bad news travels fast. So he could very well tank his ability to continue working in his chosen profession. I know of some writers who just consider the situation a learning experience. They also make sure that their fellow writers are warned about this particular client and caution against working with the person for any reason. The student knows he stole, the writer is bound by his terms of service. The writer has more to lose if he starts and authorship procedure. It isn't worth the trouble. Personally, I'd find a way to let it go, forget about it, and move on.

It is often said that "hindsight is 20/20". The only take away from this experience for you is that you will now be more cautious about hiring independent writer services without first vetting the writer. The independent writers at this forum have a track record of reliability and being discreet. You won't ever have to worry about being blackmailed by a writer from this forum because they value their name and reputation more than the money they can get from harassing you. Remember, the writers get clients through referrals as well. If I were you, I would make sure that the students in my immediate circle, as well as my closest friends, know about my experience and the name of the writer, as well as his contact details, just in case. You can also post his contact information in a single use blog or Twitter account if you want to make sure that information and warning reach a far larger number of unsuspecting students. Don't fall for his blackmail style. There is absolutely no way he can do you any academic harm. Only your professor can do that, if your essay, when run through a checker, comes back with a high degree of plagiarism in it. If you have submitted and been graded on the paper, then you can just laugh in the scam writer's face.

I also read the statement and I would like to agree with @Major regarding the company hiring the worst rate writers in the business. However, the writer also retracted the statement and owned up to the fact that he bit off far more than he could chew. It wasn't that he had too much work that weekend, it was that he knew he was not proficient in the topic and yet still bid on and accepted the order upon assignment. He was greedy. So I don't think that statement, based upon the subsequent retraction, truly reflects the ability of the other company writers to deliver to client on behalf of the company. While we do not make recommendations for services at this forum, I would like to point out that the potential client should also make her own inquiries at other venues such as classmates and friends who may have used the services in the past, so that an informed decision regarding hiring the company or not, can be made. It is not right to judge the company based on the words of one disgruntled writer who eventually retracted his statement.
