Hey guys. I recently just got approved, wrote the sample essay, etc, and now I can't pick up any papers. So far I've been denied 8 papers, all under 30 dollars, because they've been picked up by premium writers. Anyone know what papers a new writer can pick up? Thanks

It's a competitive business and you have to be quick if you want to get the good -- or even mediocre assignments. The middle of the night is usually a better time to find new work.

AR will mess up your writing career. Their rates, as I pointed out in another discussion post, are horribly low! I do not understand why a genuine writer would accept to work for $ 2 per page. Despite advertising their services under different names, AR is still playing catch to genuine freelance sites- in terms of the number of orders. It would be better if you try to work with another writing company. If you don't believe me, just do a simple search on this forum. You'll be shocked at the responses from genuine writers.

be very careful of this company. if they try to take money from you by fining you, threaten to quit unless the fine is reversed. if they do not reverse the fine, quit. you will be getting nothing but escalating fines.

It seems as if there are a lot of duplicitous companies in this industry.

Just bid on a lot of projects and you should get something eventually. However, given the low rates and the fact most writers here will tell you that the company is pretty poor should leave you questioning weather you really want to be doing many papers for them if any at all.

@editor75 AR doesn't have a US call center location.

No Writing PaymentThey used to have a permanent Skype number that they used to contact their writers.

However, the number was one way in the sense that they could only call out but nobody could call in.

Nobody would pick up the phone on the other end. Instead, you had to leave a voice message with your instructions for them and then, if they felt clarifications were required, they would then call you back.

This was their preferred method of communicating with their writers and clients for a long period of time. Lately though, they have been using rotating phone numbers.

My friends who still work with them say that they get numbers coming into their cellphones that seem to be pinging from all over the world.

They get calls from number in the U.S. or Singapore. So my guess is that they purchased a software that masks their real phone numbers.

I don't know what game they are playing but if their writers and their clients can't call them, I don't see how these projects ever get done these days.

A new writer to an academic writing company should focus on proving his ability to write various types of simple papers first. Start of easy. Look for personal statements, scholarship applications, creative writing assignments, single page opinion papers, and high school level research papers. As the accolades of your work reaches the ears of the powers that be at the company, you can expect to begin progressing to high paid orders. Or, completing the quota of required papers, without revisions or penalties, could lead to you achieving the next level of success of Academia Research. The problem, is that the company does everything they can to prevent a writer from progressing to the next level. They will also deny you papers until they lose one or a few writers during the month, which is when you can start to see yourself begin to start winning bids. However, you should be glad to be denied papers and take that as the opportunity to end your relationship with the company because they will allow you to earn, but then leave behind more money with the company for one made up reason or another. Do not work for Academia-Research if you can help it.

Starting in academic writing as a job or business is not unlike other industries where you go in at the entry level and have to prove your abilities on the job before you can advance. Take what you can and do your best. The more you do (even on the smaller or more menial orders) and the better you do, the quicker you can access the "better" jobs. Starting out isn't fun, but if you're a great writer and stay the course, it can be worth it.

Academia Research has actually shut down. They now have a new company name and UI, but it is still run by the same crummy Ukrainian people. They still function in the same manner, deny all the new writers any order that might actually allow them to earn, give them work that nobody else wants, and then fine them so that they worked on a paper for free. Their writing assignment criteria is still unclear to even their most seasoned writers, and the company still relies on the new writers to work on papers that can easily be fined on a company QAD basis rather than a client complaint reason. So, as a new writer to the company, know that you are nothing more than a work horse, who isn't worth the bale of hay they sometimes throw your way. You are never going to get a break from that company, regardless of what incarnation the company set up is in at the moment.
