My experience with essaywriters.net (I'm a writer)

Hello fellow writers!

It has now been an hour since I de-activated my account with essaywriters.net. As I have been an occasional lurker on this forum during the past months I felt that I should come out and share my experience so that those writers who may be thinking of joining the company have a better idea of how it works. My opinion of essaywriters.net has been all over the place since joining the company. I came from working with another essay writing company which had too low a volume of jobs and poor organization, but did pay me on time. For the first month and a half I was very happy to be working for essaywriters.net. They paid me on time, answered all of my queries within a very short time and their operators had a pleasant manner. I had no problems with quality or plagiarism and received a number of satisfactory reports from customers. I imagined at this point that I would be working for the company for a few years.

Then the June 1-3 pay period came and the problems started. That pay period was delayed for a month, and the mid-June pay period for two weeks with the excuse that it had to go through a quality assurance check. As I had not had one complaint against me and some of these orders had actually received very positive feedback it was very frustrating. I had accumulated approximately $1000.00 in unpaid orders. Eventually on the 4th of July I was paid. What I would like to point out is that the company's claim that they make regular payments is false. If you are thinking of working for this company you must know that at the busy times of the year they will delay your payments, maybe for a month or more. If you need to be paid regularly, as I do, this is not the company for you. Other essay writing companies will pay you on time, without these excuses.

The second problem that cropped up right around this time was the constant misunderstandings and unnecessary penalties that I had to clear up time and again. This company is very quick to penalize, and, although my complaints were usually dealt with fairly quickly, I had to waste a great deal of time writing to essaywriters.net to take off unfair penalties. I would like to give ONE example. Early June I picked up an order for four pages that was due within six hours. I completed the order two hours before the deadline but within an hour a terrible customer report came up saying that thanks to the writer they had missed the deadline. Apparently the previous writer had missed the deadline that morning and the customer was going to fail their course because of it. About 15 messages were needed to clear up the fact it was the previous writer who had failed the customer. The negative is still on my file although I had to go so far as to contact the disappointed customer to have her write a note clarifying that my work had nothing to do with the negative report. The pay date for the order was pushed to September which I had to fight to get changed back to its normal time. When I picked up the order I had no idea that there were any problems with it.

My frustrations reached their high point when working on an 80 page master's thesis my messages to the customer were edited and my bonus was with-held. I first saw this thesis pop up on available orders at mid-June for $5.00 a page. As that seemed a small amount to be paid for a master's level thesis I requested $1.50 more per page. It was settled that I would do it for $6.00 a page (it should be mentioned that this thesis was done by a previous writer and the client was not happy with the work done). I worked very hard on the thesis and had it done, other than minor touch-ups on the citations, within a week. The customer was very happy with it but asked me to make some additions that his advisor had suggested. I had no problem but requested that I be paid for the work. The customer had no problem with that but when it came the time to work out the amount all of my messages to the customer were edited to take out the request. I ended up doing the work for nothing. The customer was exuberant about my work and stated time and again that he would give me an excellent review. I never saw that review and I strongly suspect that it was withheld as it would mean that I would receive a bonus. It was at this moment I knew that as soon as I received my last pay I would de-activate my account.

As I was waiting for this last payment, some bonuses appeared on my account which made me happy but did not change my mind about terminating. A few days later the bonuses were removed and penalties for both a revision and a missed deadline for an order that I had finished over a month and a half before, and that had gotten excellent feedback, popped up. So once more there was a flurry of messages sent to straighten things out. This happened right before the expected pay date. In addition, positives disappeared from my profile and negatives appeared, despite the fact that I had only ever had one negative, which was unfairly passed on to me, as I mentioned above.

So to sum up this very long review if you want to work for essaywriter.net please be aware of the following:

-during busy season they do not pay regularly

-you will have to spend a lot of time fighting to have unfair penalties taken off your account

-the customer is allowed to ask for additions and you will be expected to do them for no pay

-they will stop answering your messages on the above

-your profile will be adjusted and manipulated at their whim

Finally, I would like to add that there are now a number of orders available for $1.00 and $2.00 per page. I have to ask what qualified writer would work for such an incredibly low sum. When I saw a 97 page report that paid $97.00 I just shook my head.

My experience with essaywriters.net despite its good beginning proved to be one of the most disheartening in my 20 years of studies and work experience. Please be aware of how this company works.

Positive vibes to my fellow writers,
Musa1969

They take advantage of desperate writers at the shameful rate of $1.00-$5.00 per page? That is nothing short of SLAVE LABOR.

When are more writers going to wake up and leave EssayWriters.net? They are Ukrainian charlatans who pose as Americans in order to ripoff both writers and customers!

it's been a while since a post has been made here by essaywriters.net writers, former and otherwise. i wonder if it's a good sign, as in whether that company has reformed its partly scamming ways. so did you completely receive your earnings--at least the "official" figure--musa1969?

Well, it's the dead of summer. School is out. That, combined with essaywriters.net's horrid reputation in the freelance writing community and BestEssays.com's/SuperiorPapers.com's terrible reputation in the student community, and you've got the recipe for "no orders" and "no writers."

@essayer
Yes, And I have noticed how quiet the forum is when there aren't any of us trouble makers to shake things up. ^___^

@musa

Very understandable concerns. I got pissed during the mid-june hold up also (although I got paid on the dot during June 1-3 thing which was the beginning of the delays). The delays are gone now, until the next peak season I guess. It's great to see an actual writer actually posting here (which was why I took the time to reply). And yes, it is a constant struggle watching out for unwarranted penalities (although most of then do get resolved well). I certainly am not gonna try to convince you to go back to ew. Like one of the hacks (who is still trying to pass as a writer lolz) said, it IS the dead of summer. >.< I'd like to have as little competition as possible on the limited number of good orders that do come in. ^__^ good luck on your next writing job. Don't ever let the folks here get you down.

Hey, EW_writer, I'm a better writer than you could ever DREAM of becoming. Unlike you, I don't work for peanuts. Try getting a legit gig before talking trash.


You're certainly not alone.

If it weren't for the hugh turnover rate of unsuspecting and/or ESL writers from foreign countries, essaywriters.net, bestessays.com, superiorpapers.com, Essay-Paper.net, and DissertationsExperts.com would have gone out of business long ago. They prey on constantly-revolving door of writers and customers who have no knowledge of the devious background of these Ukrainian shysters.

WB is generally right. it's summer peak, so to speak, although there are still a few orders coming then and now for such sites--perhaps even today under the red moon rising. as for the "no writers," WB seems backed up by musa1969 and a number of other posters who had been calling it quits.

by the way, EW_writer, who are the "us troublemakers"? you and who else?

A "troublemaker" is anyone who types the truth, apparently.

Yeah, I have had the same experience with essaywriters.net. They have my $350+. I sent them thousands of email but all in vain. They are trying their level best to cut the throat of freelance talent and don't ever miss the chance to exploit writers.

If Essaywriters isnt paying on time it would be wise to cut your ties with them and the hard part is that it would be nice for people to post things on actual legit companies that pay on time. Companies you don't pay money to work for them like GoFreelance and Mediabistro you have to pay a monthly fee just to look at their job board. A legit company doesnt charge you to look for work.

Advertising is not allowed for a very specific reason: owners of writing sites often pose as "a satisfied customer" or "happy writer" in order to fool people into using their company.

@WritersBeware

Now there's a happy display of comprehension skills. ^________^ *You reed Englash boi? You reed Englash?!? hahaha..*

@essayer
Well apparently, me and the other folks who took the time to defend the company that helps us make ends meet. ^___^

EW_writer, your posts make no sense whatsoever. You are a babbling idiot, just like all of the other paid, EW henchmen. You're questioning MY comprehension skills? LMAO!

No wonder EssayWriters.net hired you.

Woohoo... I love it when a worm squiggles. ^__^ Let's lay out the facts then...

I said:


To which essayer responded:


Reading Comprehension 101: A 3rd grader could tell you that ew_writer was referring to himself and others like him as "troublemakers". Essayer understood this which was why he responded with a question regarding who the "others" are (perhaps in an attempt to trap ew_writer into saying that he was in cahoots with people like Non de Plume etc.. which of course, he is not :p )

WritersBeware unfortunately, did not understand this. Thinking that the comment of "troublemakers" was directed to the critics of sites like ew, the hack came out saying:


Satisfied? I know I am. ^_^

I don't give a rat's *** what YOUR point was. My statement had absolutely NOTHING to do with the person or thing to which you directed your original statement.

In your eyes and, by extension, your crooked employer's eyes, a "troublemaker" is anyone who types the truth about EssayWriters.net and other crooked sites.

Moron, do you even know the definition of a "hack," as it applies to this discussion? Look it up, jack***. (Unlike you, I don't work for peanuts, or sell my soul to the devil for chump change.) Maybe you'll learn a new word to use in the next paper that you plagiarize for EssayWriters.net. You do include a certain percentage of original text with your plagiarized, ESL papers, don't you?

Hahaha.. aren't we pissed? C'mon WritersBeware can't you just have said: "I'm only human, so sue me?" Tsk tsk tsk.. you really hate losing dontcha? Must happen a lot to you from what I can see. ^___^

Should I drive it home? Hehehe.. why not?

Ok so let's say that your statement:


Let's go back to why you did make such a statement. You were responding to essayer's statement which was a response to my statement. essayer's statement was:


As you could see, his question was directed at me. In reference to rules in standard conversational English, your response which was:


counts as a response by a third party C in answering for speaker B (me), a question posed by speaker A (essayer) to speaker B. Which means that C's response had to have something to do with B's statement, otherwise the response would be meaningless.

I do get that you are quite pissed, but it really could have been a simple honest mistake. Your extreme reaction only highlighted your inability to accept mistakes as well as your tendencies to commit ad hominem wildly once you'd been embarrassed. How sad....

^_____^

the only reason i asked about your 'troublemakers' line was that i wished to make sure i was excluded from your devious list--take note that "us" can refer to you and the person you're talking with, which was me.

by the way, where did that "cahoots with ... Nom de Plume etc" scenario come from? you're either getting getting hugely imaginative, paranoid or afraid a subterfuge is getting too obvious.

also, would you mind cutting out your annoying :p? observe some netiquette please, since i don't do that to you.

Wow, that's the biggest chunk of written feces that I've read here in quite a while.

I pay your posts absolutely no regard, so it's no surprise that you think that I didn't "comprehend" the verbal conservation that was taking place; in reality, I didn't even read your garbage post. LMAO! (Your posts are like popups and flash banners.) I simply reacted to the words "truth" and "troublemaker." Again, retard, my comment stands completely on its own, with absolutely no relation to your futile post.

right! ^___^ See? Now you're coming up with what are commonly known as:

EXCUSES

I won't engage you further since the pleasure of kicking you when you're already way down is not commensurate to earning my keep. ^__^

... maybe later. :p

That's a typical response from one of the many EW cronies that I have beaten like a red-headed stepchild.

hookay.. I'm glad we had this verbal conservation. ^_________^

How much did you bring in today? Did you top $40? LMAO!

tsk tsk tsk... why do you resort to such childishness? (FYI, I'm making multiples more than what the average joe earns where I am :D) and waitaminit... waitaminit, ^__^ Do you now believe that I AM a writer for ew and not a mere protector?

Getting sloppy. ;p

You should get a new job. :) Frankly, you suck at this one. :p

oh and by the way, conservations with you are ever so dull....

HAHAHAHAHA!

Do you not realize that EVERY person who reads your posts believes you to be a childish idiot?

Yes, you are a writer who is in the filthy pockets of Essay Writers ownership.

Rot in hell, ya poor, deceptive b-tard.

Boooooooooooooo

Amy pissed off again))

How little it is needed to askew your balance

I hope they pay you well (doing the same s**t for such a long time must be so boring, aren't u feel pity for urself?), although you posts are worthless

So pathetic

I wasn't able to read this. ^_^

Given that it could be the case that "us" could refer to you and me, it still makes WriterBeware's statement a square peg in the proverbial round hole. ^_^ As for netiquette, I didn't know that you found ":p" offensive. I apologize as it is merely a common expression that I use.

With regard to being paranoid, well if WB here just made a statement that I AM an ew writer (and not just a crony), then I think there's nothing left to be said regarding the issue of everyone here defending ew being non-writer cronies. :)

Oh and btw, how about this for netiquette:




Some netizen. ^__^

@ I_like_Salo

Feel free to "salo" in. :D


The only idiot here is the person who actually believes that you know what EVERY person who reads my posts is thinking. ^_^

(so no, you are not an idiot... right? :p hahahahahaha!)

Well, well, well . . . EW_writer's pathetic partner in crime has returned. I like how you refer to me as "Amy." The idiocy continues.

If my posts are so "worthless," why is it that you losers continue to try to discredit me (to absolutely no avail, as I have evidence on my side)? LMAO!

It must be so frustrating to know that I cost you and your crook buddies from Ukraine so much money every month. It's not as easy to rip-off people any more, is it? Darn, my bad . . . .

;-)

Idiocy? Amy you lie too much))) It's obvoius


So I did - essayscam search



Chimp)))
LMAO


That's what I'm talking about - everybody has own common expressions)))

"chimp"
"not in my league"

THAT is your "evidence"? LMAO!

I suppose, since you are a Ukrainian "chimp," that you do not know how common those terms are in America. This is EXACTLY why you have no business writing for Americans!

CHIMP!

What's the big deal? So what if WB is this Amy1978 or not? o.O

Indeed.

For some reason, other EW reps keep claiming that I am a former member of this site. Even if it were true, what does that matter? Why they waste time on that nonsense, I have no idea. It doesn't make anything that I type any more or less true.

That's the big deal actually.
She lied by rejecting the evident fact that amy and wbw are the same person.
Who lied once...
That makes all her other statements doubtful.


Yeah, and what is the big deal that WB is lanchaw bin?

You are sounding very much like EW_writer? Would it also be a big deal if readers presume that you, I_like_Salo, and EW_Writer are one and the same? My, both of you even have the taste for underbars in your user names.

You can only blah blah blah.

I give real evidences.

By the way, how's your Elizabeth, I see u still contact her regularly?

LMAO

Post another lie, Sally

Hurry, everybody is waiting)))

Again, you sound very much like EW_writer, what with underbars present in your user names. Is it a big deal and a blah blah blah to presume EW_writer and you, I_Like_Salo, are indeed one and the same?

Mr. Ukarinian CHIMP, don't pay your writers in PEANUTS, and you won't draw me comparisons to a primate.

Please show your evidence of either my "lies" or Amy's "lies." I can't wait to see this!

I understand that as a general rule, most people have had extremely poor experiences with essaywriters.net I wrote for them from Aug 15th-today. The biggest complaint I have is that dumb college kids would want revisions on papers that I could only assume were separate from the entire assignment altogther, in an attempt to get another, free paper. But what else would be expected from kids who don't want to do their own work?

Recieving payments were another story. I was finally eventually paid all the money that I was owed. However, in order for this to happen, I was forced to take a total of 8 hours, be late on them, and then told essaywriters.net that I would not be uploading them until I was paid in full. After about 5 hours, I was paid. However, that payment was approx. 20 days late anyways.

I just felt as though I should share my experience. Overall, not worth the hassle, although I was eventually paid.

Hello to everyone. I start working for essaywriters.net this August. I've done 291$ all in all from August 15 to Septembet 1 and I already recieved the payment last day by xoom(Cash Pick-up). It was delayed by 2 days, but it's alright. Atleast I've got all my salary.: )And I am now looking forward for my next payment on this coming Oct.1(146$). I trust this company that they will still going to pay me in the months that will come. I think we just have to show loyalty and a high-quality of work to our clients, and this company will respect and pay us as their writer. Well, Good luck to all of us. More power to Essaywriters.net. Cheers!! : )

Whew! Cezlec_06, that was fast response to Requiemdem's post. Your formula for being paid is loyalty and high-quality work? Requiemdem's formula doesn't have loyalty in the equation but rather, the use of threats not to upload more orders for Essaywriters if he/she remains unpaid. I wonder what is more effective.

I didn't want to make threats, but obviously it was the only way I was going to be paid (just to clarify)
