Minimum rate per page +what percentage of clients are foreign students?

I have a couple question for the writers on here.

What percentage of your clients are foreign exchange students?
What is the minimum amount you would accept to draft per page?

Thank you.

Quite high although it varies for each company/writer. In my case I can say that at least 30% of my clients are ESLs.

Its hard to give an exact figure but looking at most the instructions I read I'd guess the majority of order come from ESLs.

Same here.

Excellent! Thank you for the information.

I was wondering because a high percentage of my clients are ESL.

Work has been slow and I have done a couple assignments for a company TrueEssay.com. My rate is about 60% of what
I was making freelance, but it has been slow lately. I guess it beats not paying the bills though!

When I was doing this work, I'd say that at least half of them were non-native speakers, along with a lot of students from online diploma mills that evidently didn't care who wrote their papers as long as they turned in something.

That was usually easy money, because these people just wanted something slapped together and didn't care what it was. Nor did most of them have the writing and grammar skills to evaluate anything.

The really irritating customers, who I learned to avoid, were the demanding graduate-level students who were all hysterical about not being able to finish their work on time. Over time, I could just tell by their instructions if they were going to be trouble, so I generally avoided orders about which I had a bad feeling.

Of course, the really bad ones were the ringers, the fake "customers" working for rival research companies who were just out to do as much damage as possible.

Those are the ones that are tricky to avoid.

Majority of the students are ESL's ...is that not normal ?

I would say that my foreign student clientele would be around 60%. That is because the focus of my company is on helping the ESL students get the best grades that they possibly can. My company comes highly recommended around the ESL circle so I often find my company dealing with word of mouth clients.


That would depend on the requirements for completing the paper. The price can't go down just because it is just a "draft". I consider drafts the first step in writing the final paper so final copy prices apply to any draft orders.

There are 2 factors that I believe should be the basis of per page pricing. That is, how difficult will it be write 300 words per page? Are the sources difficult to come by? Am I trained enough or educated enough to deliver a stellar paper to this client? How soon does he need the paper? Finally, I will need to factor in the cost of my utilities in the price (electricity, internet service, etc.). Based on these considerations, I believe that an independent writer would come up with a fair and acceptable cost proposal for his client. As to what percentage of clients are foreign these days, I believe this question is incorrect. The correct question would be, how many clients does one have these days? The students have been very stingy with their cost allowances and oftentimes decide to write the paper themselves based on previously purchased model papers. They are clearly learning to scrimp and save by using paper models to help them develop their own original papers. Only clients aflush with cash these days would immediately hire a writer before trying to write the paper themselves.
