I've just been accepted on to Academia Solutions' books, and have been told that my account won't be active for a month or so because of server problems, which sounded a little dubious to me. I can find very little information on this company, and a search of this forum's yielded no mention of it. I'm completely new to this industry, and just stumbled upon an advert for Academia Solutions on a job website. I'm looking to save up for an MA, and fulltime freelancing seemed ideal in a climate that's very difficult for a humanities graduate. I just want to know if anyone's had any experience with this company, and what I might be letting myself in for.

On a side note, is it wise to sign up to two or more agencies - or is it more common for a freelancer to be allied to one site?

Cheers for your help.
