More than one freelance writer account with writing companies?

has anyone started more than one account with one of these writing companies like essaywriters? i know they say that it's not allowed, but are they really checking pings all the time?

Does it even matter whether they ping or not? Managing one account is already a haste, why in the world do you need two accounts?

when I was with EssayWriters.net, I considered opening a second account, in order to just collect orders and sit on them. then, I figured it would be easier to just quit. after I quit, I found out that I did have 2 accounts with them-- under different first names. apparently, I had signed up before, using only my first initial. they never noticed.

There'd be absolutely no purpose to that at any of the sites that use me. What would be the reasons for doing that at other sites?

it's a secret FreelanceWriter. guess you'll have to always wonder.

Do freelance writers work for both themselves and for other companies?

Do any freelance writers on this site work for themselves as well as other companies? If so how does one get a hold of them? I know it is against forum rules to give specific e mails and advertising but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great

Thanks

I guess 80-90% of freelance writers work for more than one writing agency (to make it possible to earn enough money); some of them have their own websites and actually directly compete with the company they have freelance writing contracts with ;). But that's how this business works.

As freelance writers, we work on contract terms, so we are allowed to work with multiple services if needed. I personally have an account with three of them (but only one brings me some orders; the other two are not very active or they have preferred writers who get paid projects first). Anyway, you need to have a good set of materials when you apply for a writing position, including resume, writing samples, and even some kind of a letter of intent. I include a sample of such a letter / bio below for other writers to review it.

Freelance Writer - Letter of Intent / Bio to Sign Up as a Writer

When I look behind, I feel that I have come a long way and when I look ahead it seems that there is still a long way to go. I have been fortunate to enjoy different situations in life, both good and bad, and feel that I have learned a lot over the years. Whether it was traveling long distance as a child to reach a good school or the complete shift from a small town all-girls school to a co-ed college in a big city, every day was a learning experience for me. I feel that every challenge brings the opportunity for us to look within and draw on our inner strength.

I am convent educated and thus carry a good base in English writing and speaking skills. As I always carried a greater interest in Science, I earned a bachelor degree in from a prominent university in India. Later, as I entered the field of teaching, I felt that I must get an appropriate degree for teaching. Thus, I enrolled for Bachelor of Education course which I completed successfully in 2005. I taught for several years and then, circumstances forced me to change my field to computers because of the need to offer financial support for my family. Thus, I did a course in computers, web designing, and multimedia. For several years, I have worked as a multimedia developer in an office and gave coaching / private tutoring services to primary school children at home.

During my career, the office administrators have been looking for content writers. They thought of trying me out because of my good communication skills. Thus, this is how I entered the field of writing and began writing for websites. I was given the task of organizing a content writing team and write web pages, blogs and press releases for different websites and clients. I am aware that apart from having good grammatical and expert writing skills, a good writer should be passionate about what he writes. His objective should be to connect to the reader instantly with a piece of good writing and bring a positive change within him. The idea is not to impress the reader with a string of good words but to stir him from within through the effortless flow of words from beginning to end.

Somewhere along the line, a client sent an inquiry about academic writing. I researched academic writing, what it was all about and tried to educate myself on different styles of citation. Gradually I developed deep interest in academic writing as I loved to research. My Bachelors degree in Science and Bachelors in Education make me uniquely qualified to write on a variety of topics. I have already written about 800 academic articles in the field of science, literature, business history, psychology, etc. for clients in the UK and USA. For me, every topic is different and thus as exciting as ever. Based on what is expected from the topic, one can write on the same subject form a different perspective.

I am interested in working as a freelance content and academic writer. I think because of my strong writing and research skills, as well as seven years of experience in this field, make me feel confident as a good writer. My extensive experience in research and writing will qualify me as an excellent academic writer. My diploma in computer science means that I am comfortable with my computer skills and have the technical expertise to write on technical topics as well. I have also worked on web article and content writing, but I see myself as working exclusively on academic writing in the future.

Well, the companies these days require the writers to submit actual employment information, including a picture ID. So there may be some difficulty in security a secondary writer account these days when compared to previous decades. The screening process is more professional these days and have safety measures in place to prevent writers from getting multiple accounts or selling their currently existing accounts. It will not be worth the bother to try and create a second account at the same company anymore. These days, you might just get caught trying to do that, which will result in your original account being cancelled by the company. I should know, I already did that with one of my "dishonest" hires in the past.

What companies? What writers? From where? And why is it the writers' problem that you can't keep accurate records?

Freelance writers have enough of a problem getting orders with only one existing account these days. So it won't make any sense for them to get a secondary account with the writing company. Even before Ai became a writing trend, the companies were already discouraging writers from getting secondary accounts at the same company. I also do not think it makes sense for a writer to get a secondary account at the same company because it will not resolve their writing order problems.

The only reason that I can think of is that it would allow them to take orders when customers specify that they don't want their subsequent projects completed by the same writer under his other ID after receiving horrible work from him the first time.
