Considering to start my own essay writing company - where can I find writers?

Hi, I want to start my own essay writing company. I am busy with the website right now. Can anyone inform me how to get in touch with lots of writer? Any extra advice will be welcome as well.

Thanks

Not to be rude, but IMO, if you have to come here for advice on such a core aspect of the business then you have no business getting into this business in the first place.

It mostly depends on how much you plan to pay your writers; what would be your per-page rate? (how many words per page?) Do you plan to fine them and/or give bonuses?

yes of course i do. I know that there is a website where the companies find writers. The thing is that I have enough customers but not enough writers.

I just need someone who can advice me as much as possible regarding setting up the business i know a bit but the fining and rewarding issues and where to find writers is something need to solve.

No native English speaker respects someone who asks for "someone who can advice me" and says they are "considering to start my own business." Unless you invest in some English lessons, prospective writers and customers, as well as the denizens of this pit, are just going to disrespect you and laugh at you... which is what you deserve, dumdum, for putting the cart before the horse in the first place.

Nobody gives a damndamn what you need/want. Start a writing business in your NATIVE language and stop shi*ting on ours.

I want to believe that you are new in the game. In the first place, where will you be getting that load of work, for more and more writers.

Why don't you try EssayChat for a start? You will find plenty of writers and their contact under Services Offered section. Hard to comment on their credibility though.

You'd think that would be the most natural way for new writers and new essay companies to find one another. Instead, I'm always getting unsolicited emails from writers supposedly looking for work and from new essay companies looking for writers. The companies usually pretend to be customers at first until I request the details of a specific assignment to quote a price. The writers usually can't even compose a coherent email.

Last week, I got an email from another Kenyan writer that was better than most and he provided his full ID and educational history. I don't "employ" any other writers, but it's always good to have a few reliable backup options in case of emergencies. Since I happened to have a very simple 1-pg project scheduled for today, I gave him the specs last Thursday with a 48-hour deadline and told him I'd take a look at his work, pay for it if it was good, and consider him for future emergencies. The deadline came and went with nothing from him. Today, closer to 96 hours than to the 48 hours I gave him as a deadline on Thursday, I received an email saying "am working on the paper ASAP." Obviously, I told him not to bother because I already wrote it and further emails from him are going to be deleted unread. I have no idea whether he was trying some sort of scam, but if someone can't produce a single page of writing in 48 hours, he isn't cut out to write for a living. The test project I gave him should have taken about 30 minutes, or maybe twice that if he's new to doing this.

So, about 6 hours after I told this guy not to bother sending me anything 2 days late, I received an atrociously-written essay of (mostly) gibberish. Since I told him not to bother emailing me again, I notice that my Spam folder is filling up with emails from him marked "urgent." Some gems from his essay about strategic audits specifically in relation to tying together 5 listed business disciplines (which he totally ignored other than saying that 3 of them are "equally important" and that the other 2 are "crucial"):

"In most cases, audits are conducted to gather information on different parameters of the company as its financial position."

"As mentioned earlier, a strategic audit is a masterpiece in any business."

"In any management area, strategic audits champion for emphasis on the key areas and critical issues like the company's future operations and success."

"It majorly contributes to the success of companies. It combines different business disciplines as it is a factor to success."

First of all, for requesting that the writer do all that in 1 page, you deserve the bunch of BS you got.


Speaking of BS, you were going to pay this guy, and then use him again.


You asked for it; you deserve it.

I didn't make up the assignment or the page count. It was an actual assignment already on my schedule that I had no problem writing in about half an hour. Since reading comprehension obviously isn't your strong suit:



I'd have paid him for the sample if it had been any good and I'd have kept his email in case of an emergency, as I explained. Part of being a responsible freelance writer is always making sure that you have coverage in the event of unanticipated problems or emergencies. I've sent work to Professor Verb that way a couple of times over the years as well because I know I can trust his work, but I don't "employ" him. Similarly, at least 3 other writers on this forum have asked me to bail them out with deadlines in the past and they don't "employ" me, either.


If you weren't still so blinded by your rage and hatred of me for helping you embarrass yourself here a few years ago, you might also have noticed that I said he contacted me totally unsolicited.

For any new forum readers who want to know this guy "Editor75's" full history before he reinvented himself as some kind of champion of ethics, forum rules, and professional legitimacy, just search for his old screen name "RustyIronChains" and his hundreds of posts where he proudly boasted about ripping people off left and right in several different industries and got busted lying about all sorts of other things. He stalks my posts like a psychopath ever since he made a fool of himself arguing that drunk driving is a "skill" that should be learned early and that it would be smart to lower the drinking age.

Maybe some writers don't work during weekends (I assume you contacted him on Fri/Sat and he replied a couple of days later).

Negative. He first emailed me in the early afternoon Thursday and I replied within the hour with a 1-pg test assignment and told him he had 48 hours to get it back to me. The next I heard from him was Monday morning when he said he was "working" on it. I responded (again, within an hour) that he shouldn't bother because "48 hours" means 48 hours and not 72 or 96 hours and that I'd already written it myself. No response to that email either until he sent me a page of gibberish another 6 hours later.

(Any idea why quotes inserted properly into posts aren't appearing?)

What are you, some kind of white knight? You do other people's homework for them for a living. You don't even balance it out by doing something good or normal in the meantime. And I'm the bad guy? Give it a rest, meat-head! At least I balance my karma.

Just in case no one is familiar with FW, he's a law-school dropout with a master's degree in run-on sentences. He thinks that his past low-level government job churning out lifeless, bureaucratic nonsense has made him God's gift to term-papers. The funny thing is that he's very proud of being a big writer... but all of his masterpieces are unsigned. One theory is that this misplaced pride comes from the fact that he hardly ever sees any of the grades he gets for the pathetic fish who wander into his various nets. You can find him here in his habitat, slime, making unfounded accusations, poaching the confused idiots who come here for help, and occasionally buying ad space with the rest of the cheap scumbags.

No. Pretending to be some kind of "white knight" is your (latest) gig, not mine. After proudly boasting about how much money you made ripping people off in various industries, admitting to reselling your clients' essays without their permission and without disclosing to new customers that you sold them recycled essays, and after repeatedly proclaiming that certain types of clients "deserve" to get ripped off, you've more recently reinvented yourself here as some kind of industry savior. You're the one spending your time posting all of your online chats with essay company reps and chastising others for violating forum rules at every opportunity to dupe new readers who didn't know you for years here as "RustyIronChains" into believing your more recent masquerade as some sort of "do-gooder" cleaning up this industry for their benefit.


You and I do the same thing for a living but you're dishonest and hypocritical about it. You're here for the exact same reason as every other writer but you pretend otherwise with some laughably stupid BS about messages to your account "going nowhere" and you're the only writer here who simultaneously works in this industry while referring to it as a "cesspit" and proclaiming your utter disdain for clients in need of these kinds of services.


Except for defending myself against your unprovoked attacks, I've ignored all of your posts for years and have never attacked or instigated an argument with you even once. Meanwhile, anybody who reads any thread in which you and I have both posted can confirm very easily that for approximately 4 straight years, you've stalked my posts on any topic and you routinely launch the most vicious attacks against me when there isn't even an argument in the thread; at least as often as not, you've attacked me in threads in which I hadn't even posted yet. You really should take your own advice to "give it a rest" and just get over the fact that you made such a complete fool of yourself arguing with me about the "merits" of lowering the drinking age about 4 years ago. Prior to that, there was no animosity between us whatsoever; since that discussion, you've jumped on (and manufactured) every conceivable opportunity to attack me and to shout what I suspect even you know full well are total lies about me. This below is a perfect example.


1. I had no problem graduating from law school and anybody (including you, probably) who knows my name can easily confirm that by calling 212-431-2100, and asking for the Alumni Affairs Office about my 1989 (evening division) JD degree.

2. I don't think I'm "God's gift" to anything or anybody. I provide a service that my clients appreciate enough that virtually every one of them becomes a long-term repeat customer. As far as "pride" goes, I'm not the one who needed to impress people here by announcing how big his house is, how much money he's made, how much he "doesn't need" to work in this industry, or where his work has been published. All of those types of obnoxious proud claims would be yours and yours alone.

3. I didn't write any "bureaucratic nonsense" for the government. The Inspector General's reports that I wrote resulted directly in the recovery of many millions of dollars of federal taxpayer funds that had been illegally or improperly procured or spent. I don't believe in anything as infantile as "karma" for deeds, but since you obviously do, you should at least recognize that what I did as a Writer/Editor (GS 1082) for the federal government should beget "good karma" not "bad karma." About the only thing I'll admit to being somewhat "proud" of is that my writing was good enough to beat out more than 400 other writers for that job.


A simple comparison of our respective post counts on this forum will document that you spend far more of your life here than I do. I simply provide a service that my clients appreciate enough that virtually every one of them becomes a long-term repeat customer and I advertise my services here in the only two ways that this forum permits. Unlike you, I don't angrily attack and type out complete lies about my competitors here and I maintain a mutually respectful relationship with all of the other legitimate writers I know and routinely refer clients to them and vice-versa, despite the fact that we're often competitors for the same business.

Everyone gets what they deserve; that's the point of karma. Not "virtually every one," lol.

In that case, the fact that you're not already enjoying rectal cancer just on the basis of everything to which you've previously admitted on this forum should be conclusive proof that there's actually no such thing as "karma."

Denying karma's existence is the ultimate sin against karma.

Hey damdam. Did you not write your request for writers yourself? Why not be your own writer?

Good writers are hard to find,, when you have one stay with him/her and then pay well. Will share one with any student who need some writing services. The writer saved me and I passed with an A

@braine diaz you are starting to sound like a disguised company representative. Please stop volunteering to "share" your writer list with students here. That is considered and endorsement / recommendation. A move which is in violation of forum rules. Whether done privately or openly, you should not encourage students to contact you for writer references. The student may even wonder if you are actively promoting "private" writers because there is a financial gain in it for you. You are putting your own reputation on the line here because the experience you had with a "good" writer may not result in the same experience for the person you are referring to that writer.

Don't make yourself sound like an authority in choosing "good" writers by giving a seeming assurance of a "fantastic" grade. You may share your experiences at this forum but you should never try to endorse any writer, be it in the open or on the "sly" through DM. If the deal turns sour, the student will turn on the writer and you because of your recommendation gone bad. If you are pleased with a series of writers then that is great. Just keep the veiled recommendation to yourself because this forum does not exist to promote any writers or writing company of any kind. This is a place meant to warn students about the problematic experiences dealing with the wrong writers and companies can result in for students looking for sincere and on the level academic writing help.

From my experience, it is very easy to find writers for a new essay writing company. Provided you treat your writers well and pay them fairly, you shouldn't have a problem. Since your website is already nearing completion, or perhaps by this time, has already launched, then you can source your writers directly from your website. Just make sure to have a Writer's Application Form embedded into the site along with your writer requirements so that any writer looking for a job won't have a hard time getting in touch with you as an applicant.

Don't forget that you need to advertise your company just the same to recruit writers. Advertising via Instagram and Facebook often works best. In addition to your website, getting a company site at FB would also help you source your writing staff. Just make sure you advertise under FB's jobs advertisement so that you can direct your advertising at your target audience.

Using these methods should get you a few nibbles and maybe a few actual hires over a period of time. Don't forget that your own social circle and student hang outs can provide you with part time writers as well. Don't hesitate to use the old fashioned "post and ad" method of finding part time and full time writers, you never know where they might come from.

You can try to find someone on freelance. Also, as an option, these may be students who study in the field of journalism, translation, or just are quite talented in the letter.

Sadly, this is less common these days. Writers tend to be overworked and underpaid and treatment outside of the pay issue is even worse.

One poster mentioned bonuses and that's always good but what's even better, sometimes, is hearing that you're doing a good job or that you're appreciated. Sometimes a thank you is worth more than money. Sure, money's good, too, but you get what I'm saying. ;)

I've worked where I've busted my tail and never heard a word unless it was a berate for a mistake or something of that nature. That doesn't make someone want to work harder and better for the company. It turns them against the company. That's why more and more writers have branched out on their own. Being your own boss make require more work but it can be less stressful in some regards (not all, but some).

While writers are contractors, they do, in a sense, work for the company with whom they are contracting. And it's a proven fact that happy workers are better workers !

So, if you're thinking about starting your own company, I advise making sure your writers (the one's doing the work) know they are appreciated. The better they do, they happier your customer's will be, and we all know that happy customers are repeat customers.

That's because, unfortunately, the company rarely hears anything from customers about all the perfect projects their writers deliver. Even when the customer is nice enough to thank writers afterwards, it comes in the form of a message that nobody else ever sees except for the writer. The only projects that are on the company's radar are the projects that generate complaints, whether or not those complaints are reasonable or justified.

People are different. I have never had this problem. I know what I work for, and it's not the "Thank you" and "Nice job" from the client or the company. As an independent freelance writer though, the close contact with clients definitely triggers some expectation of acknowledgment and appreciation. But working for an essay company has never had me waiting for a thumbs up from their support staff. The money I bust my tail for is good enough.

Working for companies has now made me absent-minded when it comes to seeking appreciation or approval. Even if I did get a verbal confirmation that the work I've done is great, I would still typically want more of a financial compensation for the work. Maybe it's just my mindset - but these types of motivation (even when I had asked friends in the same field, they agreed to this sentiment) are the most beneficial and effective.

It has increasingly become more difficult for companies to find writers to hire. The prevalence of social media has made it easier for truly independent writers to hire themselves out directly to clients. Gone are the days when writers needed to be attached to an academic company just to secure a few clients. No more penalties for writers these days. They won't penalize themselves since they have direct communication with the clients. Writing companies are starting to find that it isn't easy to run a scam on their writers anymore, when they can find writers for their company. Most writers receive enticing invitation to apply emails, which are promptly ignored and sent to the spam box. So I wish any company the best of luck in finding writers. They are not easily convinced to join a writing company anymore.
