The best writing service "promotion" is word of mouth.

The best type of "promotion" is word of mouth. As someone who is very business minded(Ill save the details) Ive found myself already annoyed with the website..and it hasnt even been 24 hours. While I understand the concept of this website is to "expose" rip-off writing websites...none of you offer the original author any solutions. Rather you go on a rant on "how bout you just write your own papers" blah blah blah. Furthermore Ive noticed MOST websites Ive queried have recieved all negative comments. But there are TWO certain writing websites Ive noticed you older board members or quick to defend...hmmmm....(stay tuned)

I'm "baffled" by your apostrophe phobia.

Seriously, Margaret, get a life.

Any educated person who reads that paragraph will notice the six missing apostrophes. Those aren't errors, moron. The OP obviously made a conscious decision not to include them, which I found curious.

Now, feel free to waste more of your time attacking me and posting more of your personal propaganda. That is, after all, the only reason why you are a member of this forum.

WritersBeware,

you're a fa990t!!!!!!

Even if that were true, it would still be better than being a Pakistani cave-dwellar who defrauds people for a dishonest living.

I'm surprised that your "Baffled" buddy from EssayProvider.com did not call you in sooner. Like you, your deceptive, ripoff site is a failure.

I dont know what you reffering to when you say I own ripoff site, because I dont own a website you moron. I have browsed through these message boards and found you to be rather obtuse and you sound like you have a horses dick stuck up your ass. A few months back you attacked me on one of the board calling me an idiot because I simply told another person that the only legit person to do the coursework is yourself. Never bothered to reply back than, but now I am going to embarass the hell out of you that even your mum wished that she aborted you when she had the chance.

You're a liar, but that's no surprise:


That is what I quoted. THAT is why I referred to you as an "idiot."

Don't make outlandish, idiotic statements. You're just one more example of the type of person who has a problem with me. I called it like it is-you're an idiot. You've since proven yourself to be a liar and a vulgar cretin, as well.

you're also a racist for calling me a Pakistani cave-dwellar. Also I have not come a across a website that is not fraudulent, even if my statement was wrong, there is still no need to attack me the way you did. For that, I am going to take you down. How have I been proven to be a liar? you know what I was talking about, you're worse then an idiot.

Really? Racist? Would I be "racist" if I referred to someone as an "American cave-dwellar"? How about a "Louisiana log-skipper"?


When you make a blanket statement of fact against an entire industry, you're an idiot. I'm not going to sit back and allow future readers to assume that you are correct.


What comes before and after an idiot?


You're cute.

you are a racist because you personalised direct insult towards me mentioning my origins with a crappy attitute.

how about not allowing people to get suckered into this stupid industry where they are 90% likely to get conned and just do their own work?

I made a mistake trusting this specific company and recieved garbage, why not warn people about this?

I see that you have a problem answering direct questions.


If you had focused on the "specific" company and not degraded the entire industry, I wouldn't have called you an idiot.

this industry is a toilet

You've already wasted enough of my time. Your new posts prove that my original label for you is both deserving and accurate.

my accurate lableing for you is a child molester and a fa990t.

Congratulations! You win the 8th grade insult contest! Good for you, sport!

can you come up with anything better?

I wish this forum would have a poll or something voting on the most legit services.

That isn't the point of this forum at all. If you want a place where you can argue about what sites are good, start your own website. It'll be flooded with people that work for scam sites posing as customers and giving great reviews. That's why it's not allowed here.

Could you maybe email me a valid website then? Send me a PM.

How much do you get paid for such smart comments???

Yes, it does get annoying to read about "posers" who claim to be independent writers and yet also claim, in the same breath, to be connected with an academic writing company at the same time. It becomes hard to read about how independent they are and yet, they accept "recommendations" from their "previous" companies who "value" their writing talents so much.

Apparently, they can't come across clients on their own.

An independent writer worth his salt will not work with a company anymore because the profits are still shared.

There is no such thing as an independent writer who doesn't have networks to keep them afloat. Normally, these networks already cut out the companies because the writers would rather share the profits between themselves.

It's just good business. Word of mouth through networking worked extremely well for me in the past. These days though, I just get my cut from the referrals I send within my network since I no longer work in that field.

That is not to say though that the brothers and sisters of my previous clients don't need my help. When one graduates, the sibling takes over.

Hahaha. So yes, "promotion" through word of mouth is the best method of self promotion in this business as far as I am concerned. Not badmouthing.

When it comes to unpaid advertisements, "Word of Mouth" is the best promotional activity for any academic writing company. It represents everything that a website often has to work hard to convince a potential client of, the quality of the work and the reliability of the service. Since students tend to share this sort of information in a discreet manner among the members of their student community, there is a high degree of trust placed in the "word of mouth" referrals. It makes the job of promoting the company easier, specially if the person doing the referring is given a discount coupon or some sort of promotional reward for referring the service. This type of advertising is not something to be frowned upon, it is something that company owners should consider a positive outcome because the company writers have proven how students can trust the service to provide their requirements, without having to question the blurbs on a company website.

In my experience, there's very little "word-of-mouth" advertising in this industry, because, as I've explained before, the vast majority of clients don't ever want to divulge to anybody that they used a ghostwriter in college or grad school, and this includes customers who are extremely happy with their writer and who used the same writer for dozens of projects over several years. It definitely happens, but far less than it would if satisfaction with the services (rather than maintaining secrecy) were the main determinant of how many satisfied clients refer others by word of mouth. If only 10% of my long-term regular clients referred 1 new client who also became a regular, I'd probably be totally overwhelmed with projects very soon, with no choice but to turn many of them away. Therefore, I'm tremendously skeptical, as I've said before, of anybody's claims to have established, much less maintained a clientele over the long term based on direct referrals and/or on offering writing services to prospective customers in person. That could, conceivably, happen to writers who start doing this as fulltime students, themselves, only because being a fulltime student provides constant direct access to fellow students. That ends the day you graduate.

In my experience, this business is transacted almost exclusively online, between customers and writers who never know one another beyond their respective PayPal IDs and emails; and the whole reason a forum like this one gets any attention is, precisely, because that's such a risky element to this whole industry and because 90% of that risk pertains to whether or not a first transaction with any new service provider turns out well when the writer is legit or doesn't turn out well, either because the writer is a scammer or because the writer is inexperienced and unqualified. I've never known any writer in this business who built, much less who ever maintained a clientele over the long term by in-person marketing or by relying on word-of-mouth referrals. If word-of-mouth referrals occurred more often, we wouldn't have to market ourselves on forums and/or ever pay for advertising.

This is true. There's genuine concerns over the field itself, considering that others do not perceive it as a genuine career path or a business model to partake in. The controversies working in this industry have made it quite laborious to have to gain reputation from clients.

I think that word of mouth has been beaten by social media as the best writing service promotion for freelance writers. Let's admit it, even if a student makes a recommendation to a friend, the next question is, "What social media is he on?" The students base their final decisions on the number of likes, retweets, and reposts that a writer gets on his social media accounts. The more, the better. Yes, students have placed their faith in social media these days because they don't understand that it is easy to fake the likes, retweets, and reposts. Being Insta-famous is more important than having "word of mouth" promotion because the latter does not come with an idea or glamour and popularity. Yes, students consider academic writers somewhat of celebrities depending on the number of their social media followers. The more people who follow the writer, the more reliable and trustworthy that person seems. So yeah, I believe that social media does a better job than word of mouth these days.

Word-of-mouth referrals are always the easiest new clients because they aren't worried about getting scammed. A few times every year, I get direct referrals or orders from one or two friends of a satisfied client who all want the exact same assignment written for multiple students in the same course. I've been doing this for so long that I've also actually had about a half a dozen adult children of my former clients contacting me for work, usually preceded by an email from the original client/parent introducing us. Unfortunately, even the best of the best writers only get a handful of direct referrals every year, simply because the vast majority of our clients don't want to divulge that they've used a ghostwriter to anybody, even their closest friends.
