How much do Indian academic writing services pay their writers?

Hi, I am new here and in academic writing. Do all writing companies pay miserably, in India ?

Below standard living wage. Why would they want to pay more?

I heard they pay 25 cents per 275 words

25c per 275 ? ... i've written for much higher and that was low enough for me to leave (that writing company).

$ 4.... what the hell :(

Yes. They barely pay their writers. It won't even be enough to pay your monthly internet bill. The India based writing companies are mostly scams that do a hit and run on the students. They turn around and hit their writers with fines so that they can run with the income they do not have to pay their writers. Work for an India based academic writing company at your own risk. You would have to be insane to even consider working for them anyway.

Indian companies are now paying less than a dollar per page for "non-native English speakers" and almost $2 for "native speakers" both of which are unreliable amounts since they are known for penalizing the writers to the point where the writer does not receive any amount for his hard work come payday. This is the main reason why Indian writing companies do not last in the business. They do not know how to take care of their writers. The writers walk away after 2 or 3 penalized salary schedules.
