Hello. I thought I should introduce myself a little before posting further. I have been consulting the forum for some weeks and I just signed up. Hence in a sense I am not completely new 'to' the forum, though I am a new member.

DIY steps for inspecting the 'legitimacy' of any particular writing service:

- Check the essay writing website's WHOIS information. You can do that by going to any "WHOIS lookup" website. WHOIS gives the mandatory identification information the owner of the website provides during registration of the website.

- Query the site address on Alexa.com. Demographics of the visitors of the website will help you in your judgement. A reasonable service would have a fair amount of visitors from a developed country. The Alexa rank is a measure of the popularity of the website.

- All UK-registered companies are listed on the Companies House website (companieshouse.gov.uk/info). If a service claims to be based in the UK, query its Company Number or Name on the aforementioned website to find out if it is registered.

This is a question for writers who have worked for services that use a bidding system.

Bidding Writer1. So, I recently got an account on a certain website where you bid for customers' orders. I have only been Custom Writing for two-and-a-half months and for a very low income. How do I go about landing an order? There are at least 20 bids for every order, so, quite obviously, there is at least one established writer bidding for each order. Any experience-informed suggestions?

2. (related question from my writing colleague).

"I am working for a company that, according to my extensive research, is located in the US and not a scam. The issue is that I'm required to look at a project board and bid on the essays I'd like to write. I'm bidding what I believe are fairly standard rates for writers in the US (about $8 to $10 dollars per page for undergraduate work and $11 or $12 for graduate work), but only winning 1 in 10 of the projects. I'm writing less than 5 pages a week.

What is the best way to increase my success rate? Are my bids actually too high to win more work? I don't want to work for peanuts, but I need to win more projects. I've applied with, and been accepted by, several other companies, but they seem to have either no work, or what they do have isn't something I can write (e.g., an engineering dissertation).

FYI: English is my native language, I am a US citizen, and I have a master's degree in a social science field."
