A statement in the form of a question-you're perfect material for essaywriters.net.

freelancer writer

You might start with learning that freelancer is a noun and freelance is an adjective and that you modify other nouns (like writer) with adjectives.

Seriously though, what's the best way to go about becoming an essay writer? I've seen one example of the work from essay writers while at university (a friend bought one) and it was absolutely awful. If I were getting paid as much as I know he paid, I'd definitely put the hours in to produce something decent.

From what I can gather most sites are very, very dodgy. Is there an easy way to cut the middleman?

Anky is also a paid puppet of your company. You employed him/her to defame EW by engaging him to make grammatical mistakes.

There's your problem. Especially at EW, what the writer gets paid and what the customer pays are two vastly different numbers. Most legitimate companies only pay about 50% of what they charge to the writer, and the scam ones pay far less. UVO, one of the scams I worked for briefly, paid around $5/page when they were charging $20 and up. That's teh reason they have such s-i*ty writers.

Is there an easy way to cut the middleman?

Not really. Word of mouth works if you're still in university (this makes it dodgier, of course), but online the established companies--legitimate and scam alike--put a lot of effort into attracting customers. Competing with that as a single individual without the resources these companies have is pretty difficult. Not impossible, but not easy.

Even then, some ESL bustards are still toiling for the Company.

I work for **. I've said it many times before, and have never tried to deny it. That has absolutely no bearing on this thread, or on my comment above, which discusses the possibilities of working without ANY company.

Fracturegang, you're a paranoid moron.

Cheers Fracture, the site looks so bad I don't see why anyone would buy from them in the first place!

The site I have experience with is Oxbridge Essays - I've had them try to recruit me, too, but I hear bad things about them all round.

The site looks like it hasn't been updated since first going online in the late 1990s, it's true. Read the copy on its homepage and compare it to some other user-end sites with flashier designs and see what you think.

The site I have experience with is Oxbridge Essays

From what I've heard (no personal experience with this company), they treat their customers like dirt, and they lie about whom they hire as writers. I don;t know if theycheat their writers like a lot of other scam companies, though, so you might think it alright from your end.

Well I am a Cambridge graduate (though only a first year when they tried to recruit me walking the streets!), but I've got no idea what idiot wrote the work I've seen. Seriously, I wouldn't have handed it in as a bit of supervision work, let alone a dissertation. But it passed the plagiarism detector, to be fair.

I work for ET. I've said it many times before, and have never tried to deny it.

I myself built so many sites better and more user friendly than fu**-n Phyleeks' ET. These Americans are such beggars that they don't have a single penny left to invest on the interface of their site. But even then these US beggars brag always.

As a Cambridge graduate with a degree in (presumably) economics, you can almost certainly find a job that will pay you more for your time than writing essays. It won't have the same flexibility, but it'll come with a pension.

I'm doing analytical stuff at the moment and have already cancelled my company pension - I won't give you an essay on why it's not worth my bothering with a pension.

I'm just not a fan of the 9-5 and really do want a lot more flexibility, while keeping up with my academic interests. Cheers for the lil pep talk though, phee :)

Really? Then why do you post on here desperate for work every couple of months?

Either that, or they figure that they don't need to invest in redesigning their site when they already make enough money to keep themselves and their writers happy.

I never posted any message to get any job.
Hi, jobless third Grade US student!!! you adopted this thief-writing (Writing like a ghost, not having any recognition) because you have been rejected by the employers in your country. Indeed you are a human dung. A ghost writer like you will never be valued by your society. They will recognize you as the laborer of a paper mill.

My monthly income is so much that I can make a bamboo with my dollars and shove in your a$$. A laborer of ********* paper mill like you will be most happy because you even revel in the bamboo that is made of dollars. This shameless Phyleeks is a shameless by birth. Otherwise how can he take pride of being a laborer of a paper mill?

F**k yourself or my dollar will f**k you.

Phyleeks wants to say that he is a day-laborer of a famous Essay Mill.

Really? Bamboo? That stuff's....not especially expensive. Or hard to come by. And it grows fast in a variety of environments. But I'm happy you can provide enough bamboo for your deformed mother and retarded siblings.

A laborer of ********* paper mill like you will be most happy because you even revel in the bamboo that is made of dollars.

As usual, your English is so bad I have no idea what you're trying to say. I'm sure it's not especially pleasant, though, so I shall feel appropriately hurt.

F**k yourself or my dollar will f**k you

Ummm....ok?

Phyleeks wants to say that he is a day-laborer of a famous Essay Mill.

Pheelyks is happy to live in the developed world, in a very comfortable home, with a job that pays him quite well that he does from his couch. Fracturegang goes from trashing the industry to supporting certain companies to trashing those companies when they fire him or don't pay him to begging other people to help him find work or get hired. And through it all, he is equally moronic.

I cannot follow the advice of a third grade retarded US student who failed to manage a decent job and became a laborer of a paper mill called *********. How tight is your s**ter's p*y? Will you allow me to taste it?

with a job that pays him quite well that he does from his couch.

But this retarded b*tard is so shameless that he takes pride of his third class writing job that will never gain any recognition in his society.

Do you have any social recognition? How can a fatherless b*stard have social recognition? Go find your biological dad.

And the usual pattern emerges. Fracturegang makes stupid and entirely unsubstantiated accusations, I handily refute them, he returns to an expression of his sexual desire for me and my family.

I know the prospect of an American lover or two is something you find very enticing--anything that gets you out of your bamboo jungle, right? But I've told you time and time again, I don't date hermaphrodites. Your mother explained your genital dilemma to me, and it really turned me off. Sorry.

Anky,

The best way to go about this is to practice writing academic papers/assignments. Once you have the confidence to accurately type papers, research the companies out there and market yourself.

You're posting in a thread that's been dead for three years. If you want to contact someone for help directly, try looking at essaychat or PM one of the established writers here.

If you even have to ask how to become a freelance writer, then you won't make it in this business. Nobody can "guide" you in the ways of becoming a freelance writer. That is something that one develops as a skill over a given period of time. First, ask yourself if you are really any good at doing research work. Next, consider taking the TOEFL or IELTS test in order to get an accurate measurement of your ESL skills. If you can't pass either of those tests, then you have no business becoming a freelance writer. The problem these days is that every Tom, Dick, and Harry who can string together a somewhat coherent sentence in English coming from the third world countries thinks he can become a writer. Then he gets hired as a seat warmer by a scam company and he then dares to call himself a writer. Don't expect guidance when you aren't even giving us information about what you are doing in terms of searching for a job in the field, what your academic level of learning is, and why you think you have the credentials to make it in this business.

You need to take baby steps in order to become a freelance writer. Start small. Work within a close circle of friends or students who know you. If you are a fresh graduate, you may still have some contacts with the lower classmen who may be able to help steer some writing jobs your way. If not, then the best way for you to get the necessary experience to become a freelance writer would be for you to test and work for an academic writing company first. Sure the pay will not be great at the start, but it beats having you try and try to sell yourself as an independent writer to no avail. Not everybody can be lucky as me to have a constant flow of students, even during the summer months, waiting for my availability to work on their papers. Most other freelance writers need some assistance when it comes to getting started in this business. Working for the academic writing company first, then slowly branching out on your own would be the best way for you to become a true freelance writer.

ESL writers who are unfamiliar with the writing standards of the UK, Australia, and the US, just to name a few, should never consider becoming an academic writer. You don't become a freelance writer just because you say you want be one. It takes actual skill to work on these papers. It requires patience and a love of learning. It requires a desire to actually provide a service to a student not just for the salary, but for the advantages this job offers. You can start by familiarizing yourself with the various writing styles. The Purdue Library would be a good place to start. It will help you become familiar with the standard writing requirements of the most commonly used research paper formats.

The human freelance writing market is still saturated these days, even with the advent of AI written essays. Most of the newcomers to the market are college students who did their own writing while studying, They band together, form a company, then try to launch their writing services via Facebook and Instagram. Some of them pick up clients here and there, others are still playing the waiting game. It appears that the social media platforms are your best bet when it comes to trying to launch your independent writing career. You will need to be patient though and make sure that you have another source of regular income while waiting for your writing career to take off.

social media platforms are your best bet when it comes to trying to launch your independent writing career.

Social media platforms are also a customer's best bet to get scammed and blackmailed. The dumbest possible thing any student looking for a writer could do is trust anybody who contacts you, first, on any social media platform.
