Academic Knowledge Website - do they pay their writers?

hi everyone,

I am a writer at academicknowledge.com. Please tell me that whether this website is properly paying their writers or not.

Hi,

I desperately need a writer. Would you be willing to write for me? I have to submit a dissertation by the 21sep. Instead of paying these fraud companies, I might as well pay you. Subject is Human Resource Management- MSC level. Is that you area of expertise? Please get back to me.

Thanks

Hi,

I just chanced upon your posting. I have successfully completed several fast-track projects like yours in the past. There are two aspects going in your favour; 1) We are a tightly-knit group of three writers with downstream support personnel for research, edits/proofreading, formatting etc., 2) HR, SHRM and PM are domains where we have proven experience at masters level (we can send you snippets of our past works if this discussion progresses). Interested? Please reply asap. Cheers! P.S.: Our price will be at par with the quotes that you are likely to get from quality service providers.

Hi again Spacemountain, the normal range of dissertations that we've written at your level and in your domain is 12000-18000 words. These works have been written for UK and US campuses. And oh, our quote will include amends until final approval of the dissertation.

Academic knowledge - paying writers on time?

I have checked the forum but not been able to find the answer to specific questions. Does this company pay and pay on time ?

There are some topics that answer your question. It seems that they do pay but there are a lot of disgruntled writers.

Your status as a student becomes less believable with every post, karlbeen.

I am. I just entered academic knowledge in the search box and came across a few horror stories for academic knowledge

Keep searching and you will get some good ones too.

Hello,

I realise this response is a little late but I thought I would add it incase anyone reads through this forum and is still interesed in the question. Academic Knowledge do pay their writers fairly, so long as the quality of work is up to standard etc. Their invoice period runs from the 15th of one month to the 15th of the next, if you complete your work between, say, the 15th January and the 15th of February then you will receive your invoice by 15th Feb. The actual payment will be made at the end of the month (Feb). In this way you can be waiting around some time for the funds, but in my experience they have always paid me fairly, and on time. In certain circumstances - such as if your work is submitted late then they may not pay you at all, which I think is fair really. If the work is substandard they will usually tell you to ammend it before they reduce any payment that is made.

My advice is only commit to the work if you are absolutely sure you can get it done on time and to a good enough standard, if not, you will find that you do not get paid for you time and you will end up feeling cheated.

Yes they are reputable company and definitely pay their writers on time as advised, I have worked for them for 2 years with no problems at all.

If you are looking for a company to carry out work for my own company can do it at 10% cheaper at least.

Best of luck.

Does Academic pay their advertised rates? (Please see below)

Also, do they accept non-UK writers?

Hi,
New to this forum (my very first post) and came across this thread which I found interesting. I worked as a freelance writer for Academic Knowledge over a two year period. No major issues and they were quite a professional company to deal with. However, this was my only experience of working with an essay writing company so I can't compare them to others in the market. One area of frustration was the provision of a clear brief with follow up clarifying questions going unanswered, etc. To this extent it was almost impossible to build a rapport with the client and understand their precise needs. I finally decided to leave AK and go solo in 2017. Harder to find clients but would prefer to rely on client referrals.

Not sure this is breaking news for your research but just wanted to add my few thoughts.

@healthresearcherUK I can so identify with what you said. The company where I used to work often had clients who would place an order by saying "Please hold the paper while I get instructions." Normally, I don't touch such stupidly placed orders. When pushed to do so by the company however, due to the nearing deadline and the need to assign a writer, I spend 48 hours trying to contact the client to no avail. I don't see how these students expect us to complete their papers when they either cannot provide accurate instructions, or do not give instructions themselves. I don't know which type of client is worse. The no instructions client means penalties for a missed deadline on the writer's part. I never could get the company to reassign the paper. I think they knew the client would never respond and they would have a chance to dock my pay unreasonably. Then we have the inaccurate instructions client which meant revisions and screaming clients who had no idea what their paper was about anyway.

I once had a client who did not understand English very well. He kept on placing orders for 8 pages for an assignment that clearly indicated "Answer all 8 questions on one page." I don't think he understood English at all. When I explained his mistake to him, he said I should write 8 pages just the same because he "thought he misunderstood the instructions the teacher gave", even after I pointed out that he uploaded an instruction file. Needless to say, when he came back for a revision, it was because he needed only 1 page for 8 questions. Sheesh! Which type of client do you think is worse? The one who doesn't respond to writer inquiries or the ones that respond but don't have a clue about their homework / research papers.

Why didn't anybody directly respond to the question? Does the company pay or not? The answer? They pay, if you are patient enough. I dug into the background of the company just for the heck of it, seeing that nobody answered the question and all. What I found out is that it is the typical scam company that pays on a delayed basis, fines their writers to withhold payment even when fining is not required, and yes, they will hire anybody willing to fall for their trap. Do not rely too much on their promised rates. That is the bait. If you choose to fall for it, then suffer the consequences.

The better question to ask at the moment would be if the company is still doing well enough to pay the writers that they still have on staff. They have frozen their hiring status since June of last year. That does not bode well for the writers on staff. I am assuming that the company is another one that is struggling to find jobs for their active human writers and may also be planning to shift to an Ai essay writer program in the near future. It is more than likely that they will be releasing their writers from their current jobs soon.
