I really appreciate this, and finally I have one last question, although in hindsight it might appear silly.

Is the price bidding system based on the company just selecting a winner from a pool of bidders wanting to do the job; OR

Do the freelancers literally bid (with lower competitive prices) to win the project; OR

A combination of both.

Dear Editor,

Thanks, yeah the contract acquisition isn't a problem. I can often tell which website belongs to who, but do you know how they relay the jobs to writers at the back end. I am aware that TORG use something called the exchange, which allows freelancers to bid for projects. I think the majority seem to have a bidding system, but I can't locate anything.

Regards,

Dear Editor75,

I believed no one would have responded this question after WB's comments, and am shocked to have seen it turn into such a slug match.

Thanks for the help. It appears this industry is shambolic and has a lot of room for improvement, especially when money can be made from it.

I already have all my answers to 85% of my questions. It appears most of these companies can afford to pay their writers more and offer essays cheaper - but they are happy with their high profit margins. Furthermore, most of their terms & conditions leave them exposed in more ways than one. It would be great to see how many small court cases they fight, if consumers knew their rights.

I have one question, and hopefully I can rub WB the wrong way. Let him flame all he wants, it is music to my ears.

Do you, or anyone else for that matter know what project management tools or systems these companies use to post their jobs for freelancers to complete? A heads up would be nice, and if a copy of any companies freelance contract can be obtained that would be brilliant.

Kind regards,

Evorus

Hi everyone,

I am an entrepreneur looking at establishing my own essay writing company. It was not that long ago in fact that I was studying at University, and had purchased two essays during the early boom. One was a fake, and the other was genuinely great, as requested. I know what its like to get ripped off, especially when you saved towards it. I'm posting this thread for some research, research you can only get from people in the industry.

Assignment Focus Group

I have been doing my homework and due diligence and I'm in the process of looking for 1st Degree Undergraduates and graduates. I was horrified to read on this forum that essay writing companies actually swindle their writers! I mean, the writers do most of the work, while the company gets paid for having set everything up and driving the work to the writer. I would highly imagine that good relationships with writers will be paramount to short term and long term success.

I was also horrified to see how many sites have sprung up! Certainly they are scams or outsourced work to Indian writers. I've even caught a few companies advertising on websites such as Freelancer or Upwork for academic writers who can write to 2:1 + standard and can reference using Harvard etc... You'd be surprised how many people around the world offer their services, and at such cheap prices. But you'd find problems with those sites, as I actually did on my first fake essay given to me. Such companies cannot do well by their customers. If they did they would probably have to refund 75% of their work.

I feel fairly competent regarding what students are looking for from an essay company, but i guess I haven't as yet heard it from many mouths of students. I was mainly interested is some information from writers that write for these companies?

What is the treatment like?
How do they communicate with the company and get orders?
Do you fear being taken advantage of? If so, how?
What percentage of the assignment do you get and how many assignments can you expect to get in peak periods and slow periods?

Ideally, after looking around, I feel confident my set up can pay well and its definitely not in my nature to cheat anyone, especially clients. I mean, most business come from repeat purchasers and you got to value word of mouth. A testimony from someone you know will beat a review on an actual company's website.

Any other forms of advice from you experience in the industry, whether writer or student needing assistance.

Kind regards,

Evorus
