Google still accepts writing company advertisements and ad words stuff. It doesn't work as well as it did before though. I heard that most companies pay for social media boosting instead for their pages and advertisements. It reaches a wider audience and often results in inquiries, which may or may not result in an actual order. Advertising still works, it is the channel that has changed. Social media is the way to go if you want your advertisements to be noticed these days.

As stated by most of the responses above, the W9 form applies only to the US writers. I don't see what the issue is then. Just ignore the form and pay your taxes in your home country. The W9 form is not a tax exemption form. It is just a tax form that does not apply to you being a foreign writing partner of the company. I know my response is late but nonsensical questions like this one really gets to me and I have to say my piece when that happens.

The line between ghost writing and academic writing has been blurred. There is no difference between who's writing and academic writing because the reason the writer hired is the same, to get the job done when the original author is unavailable or unable to do so. Ghostwriting is just the more socially acceptable term used to define the job that is done by the writer. Ghost writing, ok. Academic writer, no way. It is just a difference in terms, with the same meaning and results.

Hiring a Kenyan writer would make the company immediately lose all credibility with their previous, existing, and future clients. There is absolutely no way that a respectable writing company would entrust their valued clients to a writer whose college educational level is the equivalent of maybe, a high school education in the market countries for essay writing. They are not going to help elevate the image of the writing company, much less assure the company of a chance at repeat clients. No. There is no valid reason that a logical person can think of that would justify the hiring of a Kenyan writer. Don't even get me started on the con games that the Kenyan writers pull on their companies and clients.

Majority of the remaining writing companies these days require their old and new writers to upload samples of their writing work as a part of their writer profile. These samples are used by the client to determine if the writer will be a good fit for the task or if he should find someone else. So scamming the client is a bit difficult when you go with a reputable writing company. The scam rate is higher when you hire an independent writer because you don't have access to their sample work and some of they are apprehensive when it comes to sending their sample work to the potential client for review. Go with a writing company if you fear getting scammed.

It is not cheating if the students actually used the paper the way it was designed to be used. It is a writing guide and reference. It is not the actual paper that should be submitted. This is the same mistake that the students are making with AI written papers these days. They think that the paper created for them is supposed to make their life easier by getting the work done. Human writers never claimed to make the job easier. Our job is to help with the learning process. The student should read the paper, understand it, then use the given information to make their own POV presentation for their class.

Price is still an issue for human writers these days. Inflation and shrinkflation have taken away the value of the money that they earn per paper. The orders are few and far between because of the students reliance on free or paid AI apps. Rather than increasing their prices or maintaining their prices, the essay writing companies and independent writers are forced to lower their rates to a price point that they would still be comfortable with, and hoping that they will earn via repeated orders within a month instead. Even the most difficult of papers written by a human finds itself being priced lower than before. I do not see things improving in the immediate future in this case so I do not believe that the price of academic papers can reliably dictate the quality of the paper and the skills of the writer working on it.

Just because a student decides to hire some help to ease the pressure of their college work does not mean or equate to being lazy. Instead, it should be seen as evidence of how students are being overloaded by schoolwork these days, while also having to juggle work, real life, and other responsibilities. They hire writing services when they know they are about to reach their limit in terms of juggling the work life balance. Nothing wrong with that.

125. Students who order a paper revision, then redact half the information in the paper. How am I supposed to edit and revise a paper I cannot completely read?

You are out of options. Just be thankful that he did not file a refund with the payment system to get a free paper out of you. For the other independent writers, let this be a cautionary tale. The best way to ensure that you get paid in full is to develop a tranche system of payment with the client. 50% upfront upon acceptance of the work order, 25 % after submitting a draft of the incomplete paper for content approvel, then 25% before the release of the final paper. That is the best way to protect yourself. You cannot do anything to the student that will get you paid anyway.

For the human writers, specially in these in certain financial times, the most important thing they will look in a company that they will partner with is fair treatment. That means, avoiding penalizing them as much as possible for client forced errors, but reasonable penalties for missed deadlines or proven low quality work. Setting fair rates with them for their hard work is also expected. The more the writer can be paid and the least penalties they have to worry about, the better. They will surely do their best and provide the best service to the clients that they will be working with.

I have noticed that there is a slight resurgence in clients looking for human writers to complete their papers. It would appear that the AI writing bubble is about to burst so now may be the right time to consider restarting or starting an academic writing business. Since this is mostly an online business, even the writer hiring process can be done by the HR of your company online. Have them create a series of writing tests to be taken via your company website, that they will then assess for English proficiency and other hiring criteria you may have. There are human writers out there activitely looking for academic writing companies that have open hiring. Anybody who opens a human writer based academic writing company will not be at a loss for applicants these days. The applicants just need the job openings to happen so they can try their luck at getting the job.

I would not say that a non-native English writer could be an excellent academic writer, but I will say that such a person can get the job done properly. What matters heavily when writing a paper is the knowledge of the writer about the given subject. He will not be able to write a paper in any language if he is not familiar with the given topic, writing style, and required source materials. Knowing all of these things, plus his ability to write in the English language translates into a certain type of language proficiency on the part of the writer. This results in a well developed English paper for the client in the end.

While the advice given in this thread was relevant at the time of posting, there are certain signs that potential clients should be made aware of while choosing a writing company in these tech reliant times. One of the things that should be considered a red flag is the use of a chat bot by the company. A chat bot means that a client will have a difficult time when it comes to revision requests or payment issues. It also raises the question of whether a human writer will be completing the work or if it will simply be programmed into an AI writing app owned by the company, then passed onto the client as human written. It is important to ensure that these red flags are not existing in the company that you are considering hiring. The AI chat bot would be the one that is a dead giveaway in most cases. Stay away from such companies.

I can understand the emotions that the OP was going through upon reading that letter of non-hiring. However, I would not agree with his opinion that the application was closed to all writers from African countries. There may have been writers of a higher qualification level from Africa that were hired by the company. I take that from the statement that he was being given time to improve his English writing skills within an allowable period of time before applying again. Had he improved his writing skills over the given period of time to the point where he met the writer skills requirement of the company, I do not doubt that he would have been eventually hired by Writerbay. It was incorrect of him to make this statement as the emails he posted pertained only to his application rather than a pool of writer applicants.

Students these days are also tech saavy. Since their schools already check for AI written papers, the students also have to be resourceful and find tool that can help them detect when the writer is also using AI for his work or if he is passing off an Ai written paper as human written. So the writer has to ensure that he does not use any sort of technology that will be detected as AI assisted in his work and also, communicate with the client directly to ensure that the client knows that he is personally working on the paper. If possible, he must do a few video chats with the client as he works on the paper, sharing his screen whenever possible to assure the client that he is not going to encounter any issues with the final version that will be submitted. It may be time consuming to do this on the writer's part and may be considered a nuisance, but it is the best way to ensure that the client will have the best possible experience when dealing with his human writer.

It is impossible for the writing company to guarantee the grade that will be produced by the writing of a hired writer. There are several factors that the writer does not know about and cannot control such as :

1. The grading considerations the teacher will be using
2. The current level of grades of performance of the student in the class which can affect the grade of the paper.

Then there is the matter of the student not actually knowing the writing level of the writer and his familiarity with the given topic. You will receive the paper that the skills of the writer can provide. You will also receive the paper that the writer thinks will get the best possible grade from your teacher. There are no certainties that would assure you of the grade you can receive, regardless of the assurance of the company or the cost of the paper once you are charged for it.

I would opt for option B. I would rather receive a badly written, possibly plagiarized, and low quality paper to submit to my professor instead of not receiving the paper at all. I said this because it is important that students meet the writing requirements of each class, regardless of a failing grade. A failing grade can be overcome later on by succeeding well written papers and passing exam grades. However, not submitting a paper at all would be difficult to overcome. That would pull back my grade in a manner that may be difficult for a student to make up within say 2 papers and 2 exams. It affects my final grade directly.

I see that you have done your due diligence in relation to essay writing companies. Were you planning on hiring one for your writing needs? I would like to point out an additional verification that students should be aware of. Make sure that the writing company does not use creative AI for the writing of your paper. That would be a complete waste of your money. The more money they charge for your paper, the more you should we weary that they may be using an AI bot to generate your paper.

Always go with a human writer to ensure that your writing needs are properly met, avoids information hallucination, and is written in a manner that clearly identifies a human voice behind the writing.

This interview was requested prior to the UK passing the Skills and Post 16 - Education Act. The UK now has very stringent anti essay mill and academic honesty laws legislated. It is no longer a matter of schools having an academic oath that the students are expected to adhere to. Now, there are legal consequences for those caught using essay mills or independent academic writers to complete their school work. That is why essay mills that redirect to a supposed UK address and supposedly have a UK office address can immediately be identified as a scam. These companies are not aware of that law and therefore, try to run a con on the students. So this thread may have had relevance at the time it was started, but it is useless to the students of today.

The revision period for a paper must be clearly stated in the agreement before the writer accepts the work and before the client pays for the paper. This is not something that should be left open to interpretation because the writer could lose out on valuable work time with other clients if he has to keep attending to immediate revision requests. Definitely make the difference between a revision and a rewrite clear to the client. Students normally use the terms interchangeably without realizing that those are 2 different methods of correcting a paper. Create a deadline for such requests. I know of some writers who would do revisions but would not do rewrites of a section of the whole paper because that is just the student trying to get a free paper to sell to his classmate. Basically making the money back on the paper he paid for.

That question is something that is difficult to respond to. Since freemail is the norm these days, it is difficult to assess the credibility of an independent writer based on his email address alone. Considering the trustworthiness of the writer will be another consideration that is hard to look into. Not all freelancers are member of this forum so getting reliable feedback about their work ethic here would be impossible. Basically, you will take a chance when you hire a private writer. Not even their membership at this forum would easily translate into a professional who will get the job done. The fraudulent identity will only be exposed once you begin dealing with the writer.

Single page orders are usually picked up by the new writers at that company who have a need to prove themselves to the people that assign orders. Some companies have the new hires locked into single page order pick-up as well. So I find it difficult to believe that the paper would not have accepted by a writer at the company. I think that the lack of interest in the paper had everything to do with the complexity of having to read the material, then having to write only 1 page for it. The effort it will take to complete the paper was more than likely not worth the offered price. So the writers did not consider accepting the order. The company was at fault because they did not quickly inform the student about the situation. Normally, when a quick turn around order of a single page is not picked up within an hour after posting, or depending upon the 24 hour time frame, the company must inform the client and cancel the order from the server, refunding the client if he had already paid in full for the order that was not completed.

Well one thing that this company has going for them these days is that they proudly claim to be providing human written essays and research papers. So that gives them the semblance of being a legitimate company that is looking out for the welfare of the student. The company provides written work that is not going to be full of hallucinations or unverified information. While their image may have been negative in the past, that is not to say that they have not turned over a new leaf. I say give them a chance to prove that they are an on the level business right now. With academic writing companies going under faster than the Great Flood, we need more human backed academic writing companies to stay afloat and to promote the business these days.

Let me start off by saying that you will not get an actual licensed lawyer to write a law school paper for you. Since licensed lawyers are earning thousands of dollars by the hour, they will not waste their time writing student papers for a pittance. Only people to studied law but failed to become licensed would waste their time writing a law school paper. They won't have anything better to do with the knowledge that they have in that case. So feel free to ask for a sample of their previous work, either for previous clients or their personal papers, just to find out if he actually has the knowledge and writing skills that you are looking for. Your best best when it comes to finding a writer for this type of paper would be through an academic writing company. While there are some freelancers out there who may be legit, making sure that the writer is actually skilled at this level would be hard to determine on your own. The pre-vetting of the writing company should help give you better choices.

Giving the client a plagiarism report either as part of the service or on demand does not help the client at all. It does not say anuthign about the quality of paper provided or the type of research that was involved in the writing. All this does is open the student to possible plagiarism flags because his paper entered the system before he actually submitted it to the teacher. That is why there are some still existing writing companies that have stopped the free plagiarism report for each order placed. it is easy to self check for plagiarism these days anyway. A Google search would accomplish the same thing. Just use various paragraphs to confirm if sections of the essay have been plagiarized. Do not use AI, that will tell you the percentage of plagiarism based upon a hallucination. That would render a perfectly usable paper as unusable instead.

Clients of academic writing companies vary a lot these days. Some of them are no longer doing academic writing work since that avenue has become almost obsolete. These days the writing companies and research writers work for independent professionals who need help with their professional reports and analysis. That has helped some niche writers stay relevant in a writing world where Ai has fast become the dominant go-to for most professionals. AI fumbles most of the time though so they prefer to have human writing assistants work on their reports and presentations with them. It is not being lazy for these people, it is about being overwhelmed by the job that has been assigned to them.

Well, the remaining writing companies have long stopped the practice of giving their writers, even the deserving ones, incentives that could inspire them to work better. Writers that still have company affiliations have long learned to stop expecting bonuses or financial gifts as well. Both are just happy to still be actively in the business and that there are clients to keep them afloat. With regards to the fines and penalties, the companies have kept those in place, not as a punishment for the writer , but rather as an incentive to have them keep the quality of their writing at a high level. The companies do encourage the clients to give the writer a tip of he is happy with the job though. Some clients do it, others don't.

Word of mouth these days does not appear to be directed at actual human writers anymore. These days the students are busier comparing writing apps instead of human writer quality. The writing apps get the promotion that human writers used to get, even in small quantities. While there still are some students who prefer human writers, and they encourage their classmates and schoolmates to stick with human writers by referring services, the best writing service still remains the personal preference of the student and how he envisions his paper being accomplished. That could be either through human writing or app development. Word of mouth has very little to do with the final choice.

Having a professional website is always something that can help you with your career, regardless of whether it is in academic writing or in other related fields. A freelancer can always try to make money independently, but he should not put all his eggs into that single basket. With the academic writing field in slow down mode these past few semesters, it is important to note that academic writing us not the licrative business it used to be. Yes, there are still inquiries about possible writing jobs, but these do not always translate into an actual writing job. So look to earn as a freelance writer in other markets if you can.

It would be possible for a college graduate to write a PhD level paper. However, that would not be something that he would immediately be able to accomplish as a newbie in the business. That would be accomplished over time and experience. Writing a PhD level paper has higher academic standards than a regular or MA paper. So he would need to ensure that the is capable of achieving those targets and also, presenting the paper level that the professor requires. This would probably be something he would accomplish once he has had about 3 or 5 years exposure as a college academic writer in various fields.

I would often hire non college graduates to help me out seasonally when I was still an active writer. I allowed them to help me out with high school research papers and research for freshman college papers. I could not trust them to write at a higher level because of their minimal or lack of education. While I am not judging them because of their lack of a degree, I had to be realistic and accept that they would have work limitations because of their lack of a proper educational foundation.

Music listening was mandatory for me while I was doing my work back then. I needed the music to remove the monotony of reading and writing the content. I often get sleepy while reading or struggling to put thoughts together then writing. So the music distraction often helps to keep me focused on the task at hand. Anything to keeo the sandman away. The music often helped to keep me awake and even focus on my writing because there would be times when my silly brain would connect what I am listening to and the work that I was doing at the time.

The problem with social media promotion is that the advertising is seen mostly as spam or scam by most people. It if pops up on my page, without my looking for it, then it is both, spam and scam. So the tendency of most students would be to ignore it. They still prefer to search for what they need, regardless of the advertising they come across. There is just a lot of negative publicity that comes with being a freelancer that highly utilizes social media for their self promotion. Word of mouth and regular channels still work better when it comes to promotions.

Any freelancers for that matter have to swallow the bank transfer fees once their salary is transferred. It sucks but the freelancers end up paying 2 bank transfer fees of sorts. The first fee, is paid when he receives the money into his account. Then the 2nd fee is paid when he transfers the money to his bank account or, when he withdraws the money from his account. That is why it is best to wait too you have earned a comfortable amount before transferring the money. The comfortable amount would be any amount that you would not mind losing to fees once you request for your salary.

For some difficult to understand reason, the website is screening the countries that can access the site. It actually returns a "You have been blocked" message when I try to visit the website. I can't understand why. All I know is that when a website is screening the visitors, you can bet that there is a scam going on somewhere in the background.

Colleges and universities these days are finding that their campuses are actually shrinking, while their online footprint is continuing to grow. That is because colleges seem to be catering to professionals and regular employees who are now needing to acquire a secondary degree, skill, or certification in order to remain relevant or get a promotion at their jobs. It is no longer just a matter of gaining an MA or a PhD anymore. It is all about continuous education and the only way that these people can achieve those goals, is by taking online classes.

Some students do tend to abuse any existing revision or refund policy that a writer or writing company offers along with the work contract. The best thing to do is actually to include a clause in the contract that indicates something similar to all sales are final so no refunds will be entertained. However, the writer can instead offer a limited number of revisions for the client to use should he feel the need to improve the paper.

There used to be a time when people thought that academic essay writing, as an unregulated field, does not qualify asa field of work where those engaged in it can be called professionals. That was during the early years of the business when freelancing and nomadic work styles were still frowned upon by society. These days though, writers have come to be accepted as those who do prefer the professional nomadic lifestyle, while working in a niche sector. Therefore, they have come to be accepted as professionals in the writing field, regardless of whether it is in academic essay writing. A profession is a profession. The focus of writing these days is no longer just on the academic writing field so it is actually wrong to judge writers who engage in academic writing as non professional.

We never got the conclusion to this highly interesting story. What a shame. It would have been very helpful to the students who still come to this forum seeking advice regarding similar situations. To sum it up, the best actions to take in this case is to not pay the blackmailer. There is absolutely no way that the blackmailer can actually follow through on his threat. Universities are not gullible enough to take the word of some anonymous person sending them an email about academic fraud. The university has better things to do than follow up on these anonymous emails.
