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.

Starting your own academic writing company is more difficult than it sounds these days since there is heavy competition coming from AI. Starting your own writing company to represent your personal writing profession is another thing. You can always start your own company to represent your blogging, content creation, or creative writing business. Selling yourself under the company name rather than as a freelancer to give yourself a more professional image in an era where part of the job comes from your ability to do social media influencing more than anything else. It's all about writers with a social media following these days.

When I was still actively engaged in the essay writing business, I would use the down time to do exactly that. Relax and give my mind a break from the all the varied studying and reading that I had to do. Rest my eyes from the computer screens that seemed to stare me in the face on an almost 24 hour, daily basis, and just catch up on my much needed sleep. If the students are on vacation, so was I. Unless I had a corporate account that needed attending to.

It would not be possible for a writer to join an essay writing company these days even if they wanted to. The remaining essay writing companies already have their writer slots full since there aren't enough orders to go around. They have put a hold on writer hiring till the need for more human writers arises. The companies are now trying to see if they can have a hybrid company that employs a human writer, while also having an Ai counterpart for students to use if they wish to.

There was a time when a writer could make upwards of $5000 a month. It could pay the rent, bills, buy a car, real estate, or other things for the person engaged in the business. Those times were in the late 90's to early 00's. It was still doable in the 2020's up till recently when AI created a major upheaval in the academic writing market. These days, we are lucky to make $200 a month via academic writing. If you want to earn in the writing business these days, you need to find your niche and work hard at keeping it. AI gets into everything these days.

My worst ever experience as a company affiliated writer would have to be each time they roused me in the middle of the night to complete a rush order from a very important or regular client of mine. Doing that once or twice would have been acceptable. However it almost because a regular thing during some months, making me think that I was not a freelance writer but a BPO agent instead. It affected my health so much that I developed migraines related to lack of sleep or sudden awakening. That is the worst part of the job as far as I can remember.

Basically, there is no next level in the writing business. Writing is as good as it will get. The field of coverage is what can expand for the writer though. He can move from academic writing to creative writing, SEO writing, blog writing, corporate writing, ghost writing, among other writing fields that the writer can diversify into. It isn't that the writer doesn't want to bring his company to the next level, it is that, the next level will vary for various writers. The business can grow in the direction that they wish to take it in. It is not something that progresses like a regular business. It is a unique business model that improves based on a different set of factors.

There has been a rise in proofreading requests from students since a majority of the student writing market has turned to AI for free and paid writing needs. The students do not have the time to review the papers churned out by the app so they hire a professional to review the content and revise it as necessary. They are too busy trying to gain relevant experience to be bothered with the proofreading aspect of the written work. I would say that proofreading orders now comprise 90% of the human writer tasks / orders. While the technology can do it, nothing will beat the human eye when it comes to proofreading and editing. Writing improvement is best done by a human being who uses logic and common sense to improve the paper.

Spelling errors within the company website definitely lowers its ranking and consideration as a reliable human based academic writing service in the eyes of the students. It also clearly indicates that the company is not owned by Americans or Brits, as most of these companies claim. An ESL owned company will let these sorts of errors through without realizing it because they do not know any better. They fail to realize that the students often judge the company by the website content. This is a situation where first impressions matter so the website needs to be perfect.

Writers that are in the business for themselves are normally more trustworthy than writers who come from academic writing companies. That is because the writer at the company may be honest, but the company may not be. The company and the writer may have differing interests and as such, may treat the clients differently. The scam comes out of the company in these cases, rather than the writers. Students will learn, as they choose their individual writers from this forum, that most of them are legit and can be trusted to not scam the student. Specially those who pay to advertise their services here life Freelancewriter.

The bidding system that existed at these companies was designed to test the writing skills and intellect of the writer. They allow the writer to bid on topics that are of interest to them, but need to be aligned with the transcript of records and diploma that the writer submitted when he first applied for the freelance job. The writer assignment was then based on these information, for the new writers. As the writers climb the ranks and prove that they are capable of writing more than just what they studied in college, they eventually gain the freedom to assign orders to themselves. Just like any other job, proving yourself matters in the academic writing world.

Sleep deprivation was a real problem for academic writers during the time when academic writing was still solely done by humans and the order list per writer required them to sacrifice both personal and sleep time to meet the deadlines they were given. It reached a point where writers would work 4 days or 5 days straight, then sleep for 2 days straight. Which was not healthy for the writers who began to develop gastrointestinal issues because they would rather sleep than eat. I suffer from GERD because of the insane hours that I kept as an academic writer at the time so I am speaking from experience and I know the true cost of high work quality and delivering client expectations. It comes at the cost of personal health.

If we were to base the comparison of high grades with a successful profession these days, it would appear that grades do not equate to success. What is important is that the student has a passion and interest in a particular field that he is willing to chase after beyond the classroom. With coding classes being introduced into the learning system as early as kinder, the brains of today's kids are wired differently. They can start earning income as early as the age of 12, be their own boss by the age of 16, and sell their first billion dollar company or code by the age of 18. All of this while doing dismally in their non related classes or totally dropping out of school to see where their talents can take them which, in today's digital world, would be very far.

We can assume that at this point, the students still opt to purchase pre-written or originally written papers because it is part of the unspoken student life. It is an open secret that teachers and professors have turned a blind eye to since it helps the student with class requirement compliance. The students who find themselves overwhelmed with academic work, even as technology to make studying easier exists, opt to purchase these papers so keep themselves afloat and also, to help them get some time off from their responsibilities. They know the risks involved and they enter into these dealings with open eyes. They will do what they believe is going to help them out at the point in time when they need that extra help, regardless of the risks.

I was happy to come across this thread, hoping that it was an active and interesting place to hang for a while as we wait for more forum participants. It saddened me that in a span of 6 years, the discussions at this forum have all but dried up. The most active writers have gone AWOL (Where are you FLW?), and the ones who do participate seem to be pushing personal or business agendas. I wonder if the human academic writing field will ever go back to the way it was before AI all but took over.

University admission officers that are known to me have actually admitted that they have gone beyond the Turnitin partnership and proceeded to use AI for application essay reviews. However, it is not just the application essays that pass through AI detection. They actually have AI reviewing the major documents of students, such as the transcript of records, to help facilitate the review process. It has cut their work by more than half, leaving only the AI suggested major applicants for immediate review by the human reviewer. The 2nd tier applicants are later on given attention, depending upon how many more students need to be admitted into the system.

Don't look at the academic essay writing business as one that can keep you afloat financially if you are in business for yourself. Even the veterans of the business have admitted that they have lost their regular academic and professional client base to AI counterparts. This has made it difficult for the human writers to remain relevant and competitive in the writing business. It would be better for you to find another way of making money using your writing skills. Consider blogging or content creation for this purpose until the AI hype passes.

I believe that Custompapers.com is one of the few remaining legitimate academic writing websites left. They actually employ both ENL and ESL writers and are upfront about it with the clients that inquire from them. It is a company that has, as far as I have heard, built its reputation quality and substance. Known for delivering on time every time and within the client requirements. I believe that it is worth giving them a second look as a human writer based company.

I agree that the writers expand their knowledge with every paper that they write. In fact, the writer who learned about a topic or field through academic writing finds himself increasing his knowledge for his betterment at his job. Some writers that I know of fell in love with specific topics that they wrote about, leading them to pursue higher education courses or short term courses in those specific areas. While having a wide field of knowledge is required in this business, basic knowledge usually helps the writer complete the paper. Materials from the students and research as needed helps to expand upon that knowledge. It is not a requirement that the writer have a continuous learning program to follow in any specific category.

The good writers these days have moved on from writing for essay writing companies to writing to earn for themselves. The academic writing field has been very bleak lately, with writers struggling to find and keep regular clients. So the companies struggle to keep the writers because of their inability to find regular work for the writers. Not all writers have the ability to work for themselves in terms of relationship building with clients, which is why they preferred the company attachment in the first place. When that doesn't work anymore, the writers move on to the next gig that they can find.

Due to the companies struggling to find order for the human writers to fulfill, and the continued threat of chargebacks, the companies pay their writers once a month at the most these days. That is even dependent upon the writer making a minimum amount of between $50 - $100 because of the charges associated with the payments by the financial channels. So if you have a job as a human writer, expect to be paid once a month at the most, unless you earn well enough, like say $200-$400 a month, in which case you might be able to haggle a 2x a month salary with your company.

Even as the academic writing field seems to be drying up with every semester that comes, there will always be a student or two that will want the help of a human writer. These are the students who keep the truly independent, non company affiliated academic writers in business. While it is no longer as lucrative as before, it still manages to keep some third world writers afloat financially while allowing some ENL writers to earn some pocket money. The problem these days is finding a regular influx of clients who will keep the writers afloat for the whole academic year. The benefits remain the same such as working from home, having less expenses in terms of daily commute and the like.

Corporate blogging is where the previously active and legit academic writers found themselves working when the academic work all but dried up. The work is easier, or so they say, because the topic is provided beforehand and the SEO keywords are also provided for the actual writing. This is a far easier job than academic writing because the revisions are minimimal or none at all since the corporate blog owners indicate that any errors in the writing will result in a rejection of the article and non payment for that piece.

Writers should not charge a fixed rate per page for their clients due to the complexities and demands of the paper being completed. Where transportation, meal, rentals, and other costs are necessary to complete the work, the writer should charge the client for these additional movements and requirements. These are then added to the cost of internet, electricity usage, WFH rental, or other charges that may be involved in the professional performance of the duty. I do not think that a writer these days should charge less than $50 per page, at the very least.

Getting the service you are looking for from 1 of 4 websites is something that should be considered acceptable in this case. All 4 of the websites claim a form of legitimacy in the business. All 4 will promise to deliver a promised grade point average. All 4 will give the students discounts to use their service. Only 1 of those websites will actually deliver a properly written paper as promised. Why is that? I believe, it is because of the 4 websites, only 1 actually has skilled writers in their employ who will actually understand the instructions provided and deliver the kind of paper that the student expects. The term "genuine" will be difficult to prove in this case. The online writing companies all claim to be "genuine" and even have fake documentation to help prove that status. So do not let documentation and claims influence your decision when hiring a company. Ask for a sample paper from the writer they assigned to you before you make a full payment for any order. The quality speaks more for the 'genuine" ability of the writer and the company more than anything else.

This is a company that has gone offline and does not have the ability to come back in an AI academic writing company incarnation. The company was thoroughly mismanaged, forcing the writers to go settle for off schedule payments, in installments. Eventually, the company shut down with unpaid amounts to their writers. There were also orders left unfulfilled by the time they went offline, leaving the clients without any refund channels unless they paid via PayPal.

It makes more sense to take private clients whenever you can. The resulting business is one that you would not be able to experience as a company affiliated writer. You get to charge the price that you want per page, and sometimes haggle a bit with the client. The bonuses given by the clients are received directly by you, without having to give up a share to any company, and you get to build a client base from academic years to the professional years of the client. That is the situation that I had with my clients before and I have to tell you, it was the most lucrative time of my professional academic writing career.

These days, the students need to make sure that they are not dealing with a one person company that relies on AI for its order fulfillment. I have heard of and seen first hand how these companies employ AI prompters instead of writers to complete client orders. These results in half hearted and haphazard papers being provided to the clients. The orders spend more time in revision prompting hell than it does in the original writing situation. The students need to learn to assess if the system is using a chat bot or an actual person while placing the order. When a chat bot is used at the onset, take that as a flaming red flag and find a company that actually uses a human being to fulfill your writing order.

There was a time when students and writers were academic writing partners. We would work hand in hand via the messaging system to complete their paper, ensure that directions given were followed, and that the paper was pre approved at the halfway point. Those were during the pre AI days. Now, students and their writers no longer interact because the companies use chat bots to talk to the clients and deliver messages to the writers via social messaging systems. So where interaction used to be at 90%, it is now at barely 10% interaction and it has been detrimental to the services provided to the student clients.

The one thing that I keep telling students to be sure of these days when purchasing a essay online is that they need to be definite that a human writer was involved in the creation of the paper and not AI. That is because AI may sound smart, but in the end, it is nothing but empty words that do not align with the student writing requirements. Only a human writer will write with the instructions in mind and will triple check sources for validity. Writing companies lie and say that they use human writers when Ai is actually doing the job for them. That is the worst kind of academic writing that a student can actually end up paying for.

I have not seen a button for client complaints in the websites that exist today. I guess they found themselves with an overwhelming number of complaints that they were never planning to resolve so they needed to discontinue the pretend practice of having a sales support department. Even complaining via their chat these days does not get the student anywhere since bots are being used more frequently to keep the students from actually filing a complaint.
