Only joking.
I just started working for academia-research this week and thought I would start a thread so everyone can make fun of me and tell me how I'm going to get ripped off.

Don't worry though, I was awoken from my sleep early this morning with the sound of an email in my inbox notifying me of my first fine. Didn't include a works cited and got charged $4.50 on a $40 assignment, not unfair.
The real reason I'm posting is I'm curious if anyone has any advice for someone starting in the field. I'm well aware that almost every writer on this board is jaded by the industry so I'm sure my greenness is showing, but I'm here for the same reason I joined academia-research: to learn.
Any advice or encouragement you can offer is greatly appreciated.
And any advice on advancing to a premium writer is also appreciated. I'd like to be a premium writer by the end of the summer, is this feasible/possible?
Also, what are some of the biggest reasons people get fined on academia-research? Is there anything I need to be checking off before I send in an assignment to make sure I'm avoiding fines?
Thank you so much for your help guys, I really do appreciate it.
