Creating A New US Based Essay Writing Service

Hello,

I have observed the forum for a few weeks and have done some minor research to identify a US-baed Essay Writing Service. Most of the listings on the search engines identify companies that are not US-based. Therefore, I have sat down with a few people to actually try to establish a Writing Service company in the East Coast.

Now, I would like any feedback from this forum on how it should be established? In other words, is there anything that should be included in the service; is there anything that should be avoided, etc? I have a few local writers that will produce the essays. After completion, the essay will be forwarded to an editor (to polish it and obtain the highest possible grade)? Do you think it's a good idea to have it set up this way?

Additionally, after the editor is done with the paper, we would like to put it through a grammar writing software to make sure the editor corrected all the errors?

I really want to establish something valuable and "legitimate." Any input would be appreciated. I thank you all in advance.

Hello,

geezus,there is no need for yet another "essay"company,the market is saturated as is. Go to essaychat and watch dozens of writers waging wars over one measly client with 1000 words order.

You want a good input? Do something else or you'll regret it dearly..

This is not practical if you produce any real volume of essays.

Additionally, after the editor is done with the paper, we would like to put it through a grammar writing software to make sure the editor corrected all the errors

If your writers are good enough to be charging anybody for their work in the first place, there is no "grammar-writing software" that can improve their work without adding more mistakes than it fixes. The writing would have to be pretty bad for any automated grammar program to find fixable issues; and if the writing is good, the program will be unable to distinguish errors from purposeful choices in sentence construction that just aren't recognizable to automated grammar software.

By the time you've paid American writers and then paid an editor, plus all your other overheads, hard to imagine there'd be much profit left.

Hello All,

Essay ServiceThank you so much for the feedback. I understand that there is a concern for me to start a writing service business because of the competition in the market. However, I am trying to reach a "niche" market. In other words, I am targeting the following market:

1) People that can actually go to a physical location to drop work off and/or make payments (increases trust). This will set me apart from competitors.

2) People that actually want an 'A' paper or something close to it (I have heard some people who get their papers completed on time, but barely get a 'C'). I want to work with people who really care about their GPAs and would pay a decent rate to avoid getting an "inferior" paper.

The editor is my "star" of the new business; however, this person does not want to write the paper itself. I have some very good writers that would be "on-board", but the editor will take the paper to "another level." From what I have seen, I do not care how well someone writes, there are always errors made that can be fixed with an editor.

Based on my business experience, I can keep administrative expenses very low. Moreover, I understand that my rates are going to be a bit higher than the competition (this is why I am targeting a niche market that values high quality paper). Personally, I would have given my "left-arm" if I had this type of service when I was in college. I never did it because I did not trust the quality of the paper or the company not meeting the deadline.

Again, any other input would be appreciated, especially from freelance writers who have set up their own website for students.

This severely limits your potential client base to the point where your business model is not viable for more than one or two writers (unless you're in a major city such as New York). Also, we all probably shoot for an "A" every time but I think it's unethical to guarantee one.

Don,

Email me. Was going to email you but have to wait 24 hours LOL. I would definitely advice against having editors, leasing an office, etc.

This may appear to be true on the surface, but scammers and hacks play rough because they have to. The legit writers are cordial to each other, from what I've seen.

that was not the point.The point was that supply is greater than the demand.

I do not agree. A lot of people have to turn work away during the busy months, and I am severely sleep-deprived even as I type this. That is the perspective of a writer. I can't speak to whether the market is "saturated" in terms of companies, because then you're talking about competing for Google hits and such. But demand is very high, and while there are plenty of scammers and hacks in this business, there are not necessarily plenty of capable writers.

The bold statement probably disqualifies you from entering this business. If you think legitimate companies are here to help students cheat, you're in the wrong and your business would never be "valuable and legitimate."

Again, this may not be the right business niche for you to consider (unless you don't want your writing service to be perceived as valuable and legitimate).

Nobody ever bothered to ask where the OP was originally located. It sounds to me like he was merely buying a US office address off the web to establish a US presence, which is what all the scam companies do. He never said he was using US based and educated writers, which means the address is a scam and the quality of writing would be suspect as well. There was nothing about his inquiry that would confirm that he was setting up a legitimate US address for his writing company using US educated writers.

The creation of new writing companies are threatened by the rise of AI writing software which is often free to use for students. Now is not the time to think about adding a new player to the market. Sit back and observe the market reaction first. Students are eager to try out the technological advancement and seem happy to put in the little work required to edit and revise the computer written paper. Saves them a ton of money in the process. By observing the goings-on, the academic writers should figure out a way to adjust their services to the times.

For anybody looking to start a company though, make sure your services are not breaking any state, national, or international laws so you can register and function as a legitimate business entity. In the UK, do take note of how the Skills and Post-16 Education Act 2022 affects the way your academic based business should function as an academic help office.

This law is important and will be enforced.
"It is an offence for a person to provide, or arrange for another person to provide, in commercial circumstances, a relevant service for a student in relation to a relevant assignment.

A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine."
