How Much Effort Do You Put into Your Papers?

Hi everyone. I started writing with one of more popular paper websites a few weeks ago, and I've been happy with the work I've had and the money I've made so far. After doing about a dozen orders or so, I've begun to wonder just how much time and effort is expected of the writer--I certainly do my research and proof-read the document, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be aiming for A+ material, or just a decent paper (after all, technically I'm writing an "example" of a paper, and the customer is plagiarizing my work if he/she submits it as their own).

What do you think? Do you pour your sweat into making a perfect paper, or is good enough good enough?

You are an ignorant, uneducated, fraudulent piece of Kenyan tra$h. How do you find time to post nonsense here between spearing warthogs and washing your air-dropped, "Adidas" t-shirts in the river? Isn't your schedule full?

Perfect evidence of American Mongoloid idiocy, how do you find time between junk food and video games, isn't your schedule full as well?

American Mongoloid

.......where to begin?

The term "Mongoloid"--now considered offensive--was coined because the guy who identified Down's Syndrome (some dude name Down) thought it made people look like they were from Mongolia. You might think "American Mongoloid" is a way of calling people retarded, but really its saying "American Mongol," like "American Indian" or "African American." All of which makes you, well....rather retarded.

how do you find time between junk food and video games

"Hah hah! You have a consumer culture that provides more than your basic needs!"

I think you are an idiot, they should do their own papers.

but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be aiming for A+ material

One single thing: clarity of instructions is something that lets me speculate about the anticipated grading a paper can get. Time is relative to the number of sources and depth of research required for a paper.

The lack of clarity in this sentence forces me to speculate about what you could possibly mean...

There's no wound, I just really have no idea what you were trying to say. Like, at all.

Ok, I am sorry. I was trying in vain to say that the instructions (for the paper), if they are clear enough for what is really 'required', I can guess the grade a paper (I do) can get.

That is much clearer. Unless you're psychic, I don't know how this could be true, but at least it's intelligible this way.

evident, as a writer you should work hard to produce a high quality paper that satisfies the buyer.

Full sentences are your friend. This is one of two threads in which you have recently posted comments that I can't make heads or tails of.

How do you find time to post nonsense here?

That's pretty funny how you call him ignorant and fraudulent, but then you yourself say something ignorant. Good one bro, you really made yourself look great.

Here's something you said:

"If you have nothing to contribute to the forum community except personal attacks and propaganda, you have no legitimate reason to post. Repeat offenders who initiate personal attacks and/or propaganda should be banned. Period. Potentially new members don't want to have to wade through that useless garbage in every thread. If you don't like something that somebody states about a given site or company, you should attempt to counter with a reasoned argument that you support with evidence and verifiable facts. Personal attacks and propaganda should have no place here!"

Shouldn't you follow your own rules? Maybe I won't give you 500 dollars to write my essay after all.

The Kenyan writers are now drooling, while all of the legitimate writers have given this a mental "meh" and gone back to the abundance of orders they have, where they will earn at least this amount in a single day.

That username is a bit much, too, don't you think?

Am I supposed to be impressed with that empty dollar amount? LMAO! Trust me when I tell you that you could not afford my writing services. Besides, I don't write for students.

I don't understand.. My essay is only supposed to be 3 pages. You can't do that in a day?

Am I supposed to be impressed with that empty dollar amount?

Based on what I read, I don't want your writing services anymore anyway.

Clearly.

Based on what I read, I don't want your writing services anymore anyway.

Based on what I've read, legitimate writers that have no problems finding customers wouldn't want to deal with a pain in the ass like you, anyway. Have fun getting screwed.

I have to respectfully pass. I'd end up losing that bet because there are people lining up to work with me.

In my case, there's not really a direct correlation between "effort" and quality; in fact, they may actually be related inversely. Some of the best quality papers I write are those that aren't difficult for me because I know the subject matter well enough to write them without any research and just provide appropriate references where the stuff that needs referencing can be found. Conversely, some of the hardest stuff for me to write that requires the most "effort" involves topics that I can do well enough if it's worth the payment but that require me to do a lot of research or to learn about something just to write the paper.

When you're a student, there's more comfort in relying on "sources"; but when you do this for a living, the easiest and most pleasant work are the papers you can just sit down and write and they usually are our best work. It takes me much longer to rely heavily on sources and it requires a lot more "effort" but that doesn't necessarily mean the paper will be any better than those that are the easiest for me to write.

When I was still actively writing academic papers, I always aimed for perfection because I am a perfectionist. Good enough is never enough for me. I need to be the best at what I do. This was reflected in all of the model essays that I submitted to the clients. This was also the work ethic that helped me build a large base of returning and regular clients at the offices I worked for. I refused to deliver just a decent paper to the client because, regardless of the English abilities of the client, he deserved to get the full value of his money with the paper I created for him. Since I enjoyed doing the work so much, I never noticed that I was pouring my sweat into making the paper. Rather, I produced a high caliber paper for the client each time because I wanted to be sure that, should he decide to use the paper I developed in any form, he would have the best shot possible at a high grade. That after all, is what he paid for.

Paper EffortAs the owner of an academic writing company, I'd tell my writers that good enough is never acceptable.

Either you deliver an A+ paper or be prepared to face revision requests.

Fines will be applied to any order that comes back 2 times or more for a revision.

My request is that they apply themselves to the client papers in the same manner that they would if they were writing their own paper.

That is the only way to assure the client of a high quality paper and is the main basis of my company's satisfaction guarantee.

The effort that they put into the paper always shows through the number of times the same client comes back to hire the same writer for his paper.

Once a client places a writer on retainer for the rest of the academic year, I know that my writer has been placing more than the required amount of effort into the writing of a particular client's paper.

The clients aren't paying for high grades and in many cases, they do not want high grades because that would get them busted for plagiarism. I write papers to the best of my ability, but I do not guarantee grades. One of the problems with writers working for these companies that demand high quality is the fact that their definition of high quality is very arbitrary. A company can refuse to pay a writer because the writer turned in shoddy work or because the company is currently broke.

The best I can tell clients is that I want their business and I'm going to write an excellent paper in order to make sure that they come back.

In my experience, most clients do want the highest possible grades; and the relatively few who don't will usually let you know.

It's a simple equation, really. Effort put into a paper will never be tantamount to good grades for the client. I would say that you should never do less, but you should always ensure that you have the fundamental requirements covered. Of course, there is a difference between working on a one-page paper for three hours straight versus finishing it in a few minutes. This would also be dependent on other factors: the amount of research required, the complexity of the formatting, etc. If you are getting paid well for a research-intensive paper, then it would definitely be alright to put in more effort into writing.

It's all about ensuring that your output is tantamount to what would make the client satisfied in the end. And how much you are getting paid for it (duh, you may be a writer but you have needs too).

When I am personally asked to work on a paper for the client, I go above and beyond to ensure that the client will be gleeful upon receiving the paper. I usually do supervisory work these days, while doing some special request jobs on the side. These are the clients who have been with me for at least a decade or so, and who have helped me build my business. So I am never truly fully retired from writing. Since I am the person by whom the company is judged by, I make sure that I perform higher than expected for my clients. I never deliver anything to the client that would be less than I would demand of my writers. In fact, I am harder on myself than on my writers because of the responsibility I have to enhance the company's image at all times and through all means possible.
