I own and operate a custom essay writing service - Ask me anything!

Hi,

I have owned and operated a custom essay writing service out of Toronto for over a year now. I've frequented this forum quite often to try and gauge what customers want, what they look for and what they consider to be great customer service. I've created an account and posted this thread for the purpose of lifting the veil on how services like mine operate. Feel free to ask me anything about how the service is run, what policies we have in place, how we recruit writers, how we insure quality, how we set prices, what a typical organizational structure actually looks like etc...

I haven't posted this thread to promote my service and won't be naming it.

Thanks,

aplus

It's "ensure quality," not "insure quality." You need some help from your writers, apparently...

Both terms can be used interchangeably I believe. Thanks for the tip.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I ensure my car.

It obviously depends on the context. I didn't create this thread to give know it all students a lesson in grammar, but here goes..

"ensure, insure, assure, secure mean to make a thing or person sure. ensure, insure, and assure are interchangeable in many contexts where they indicate the making certain or inevitable of an outcome, but ensure may imply a virtual guarantee <the government has ensured the safety of the refugees>, while insure sometimes stresses the taking of necessary measures beforehand <careful planning should insure the success of the party>"

You'll have to come up with a better way to delegitimize this thread my friend. Scanning for spelling and grammatical errors is petty. You can do better.

Cheers

The specific context in which you used the word ("insure quality") incorrectly suggests that you will monetarily compensate a customer in the event that the quality of your product causes some form of harm/loss to the customer.


That may be true for a gardener or taxi driver, but not for a purveyor of "professional writing services."

Great. So I used it in the correct context after all...

I doubt it. Please direct me to the literature on your insurance policy.

I guess you were expecting rapt attention? The veil of mystery act seems to have backfired.

Customers who receive a poorly written paper get their money back and 50% off their next purchase.

We can argue about this all day, and a simple google search will show that there are varying opinions. I'd love to get back to discussing the topic of the thread...

That's a "guarantee," not an "insurance policy." Who is your insurance adjuster?


Not regarding the incorrect context in which you used the term. Sorry.


I don't think that we need any more of your absurd claims regarding fonts.

Sorry dude, I'm not extending this back and forth any longer. I already provided evidence and explained myself. This thread is not about my grammar or your attempts to troll/delegitimize. I don't feed trolls or grammar nazis. Unless you have something to contribute to this thread please take your petty style elsewhere.

I'm not a "troll".

Not only are you a troll, you're a crappy troll with thin skin. It's a tough world out there, don't let randoms on the internet get under your skin. Cheers.

I have more knowledge of this industry in a fleeting thought than you will ever acquire in your entire lifetime.

good for you lol why the insecurity?

You're taking the COWARD'S way out of the argument.

1. You made multiple, false statements. I corrected them. You then tried to make excuses.

2. You resorted to calling me a "troll" when you realized that you could not legitimately defend your false statements.

lol Your skin gets thinner with each post. I'll stop before your head explodes. Run along now troll.

This is the AMA no one asked for.

Hey, aplus, what's your domain name? Since I requested it, I don't think that the mods will deem it to be spamming if you provide it. Here's your chance to REALLY cash in!

Lol I'm not associating my domain name with this cesspool. If I had to have my domain name appear in a forum for me to "cash in" my business would be in trouble. There are better ways to promote a service than throwing an insecure angry individual a bone to chew on.

I am genuinely interested in answering any questions anyone here may have about the operations of a successful academic writing service. If you would like to engage with me like an adult I will be more than happy to answer your questions.

Why would they receive a poorly written paper to begin with? :)


I must say you feel pretty comfortable in this cesspool.

That's what I thought, coward.


First of all, the comma is your friend. Secondly, if calling out a clueless, delusional dips*t on his seemingly endless stream of false claims makes me "insecure" or "angry," then I guess all critics and truth-seekers are "insecure" or "angry."


LMAO! You're a nobody. We all know who the major players are, and you aren't remotely close to being one of them.


When I ask a question, it's usually based on the expectation/hope that I will receive useful, factual information. Nothing that you have posted thus far is useful or factual. You have nothing to offer.

"Ask me anything!"

("Um, besides asking for my domain name, because I'm too chickens-i* to put my cards on the table.")

Aren't you the troll running around and calling everyone out for spamming? Now you're fuming because I won't 'cash in'? This forum is not the place to air out your insecurities and bitterness. Life is too short for you to be this angry. Run along now, troll.

@Major

1) Not every paper written is going to be perfect. Even the best of the best will have instances where poorly written work is delivered. It's the nature of the business. That's why guarantees are in place. For instance, my service offers unlimited revisions free of charge alongside other guarantees. That doesn't make my service special...it's quite common to offer something of that nature.

2) This is a great place for customers to share their experience with various academic services. It's also a place where a great number of services create fake accounts in order to boast and promote their websites. I would much rather have my service discussed by customers who have used it. I won't start promoting my service in a thread where I said I wouldn't because someone who's clearly interested in nitpicking and looking for anyway to discredit me called me chickens-i*.

It can be concluded that your service is new (what year did you start it?). Services offering free unlimited revisions would not be in business for long because some revisions of large orders (dissertations / PhD theses) tend to be extensive and time-consuming.

@Major

My service has been in operation for a little over a year. We specialize in writing papers at the undergraduate level. We don't write PhD level papers. Undergrad essays and assignments are easier to manage, and the pool of qualified writers is much larger. Our average order is a second-third year paper, 6 pages double spaced and has an average turnaround time of 4 days.

Enjoy your laughable earnings, failure.


I "called" you a chickens*t AFTER you called me a "troll" as a cowardly, underhanded way to sidestep acknowledging that you made at least THREE false claims within the first few hours or so of signing up in this forum.


Gee, I didn't anticipate that cowardly excuse at all!

Go slow. When your fat sweaty ass gets worked up, your ESL roots sprout up and betray your linguistic incompetence.

That's definitely not true. And you certainly are a troll. In fact, you define what it means to be a troll with the exception of lacking humor.

Howdy aplus. I see that that the banal and obtuse EssayScam team has introduced themselves with the welcoming gauntlet.

I've got a few questions: How can you frequent this forum and expect anything less than to be called names and have every letter and punctuation mark criticized by self-proclaimed vigilantes? Your writing style is a bit suspect as correctly, yet barbarically, pointed out by the resident trolls, so I'm wondering about your ESL status and that of your writers?

Also, most of the regular-members here know a lot about the business (except for W2B). The large majority of the other members are a good mix of ESL scammers and mildly retarded students who would not recognize good customer service unless it involved slapping them upside the head. The 'good customers' aren't going ask you a question or post here and will likely move onto a company or writer after being turned off by W2B and Dolt75.

Graphie (AKA, "little bi*-man") has returned after another convenient, post-smackdown hiatus! Hola! Thank you for taking time away from your immensely successful forum that you promised would overtake essayscam.org in popularity.

It's sooooooo very cute how you swoop in to "make friends" with the latest fraudsters and liars.


Congratulations! You've won the "Painfully Obvious Trolling Award" for January, 2015!

Way to drive a thread off-topic, W2B. I came here for the AMA with aplus and all you can think to do is engage me with petty arguments, very base comments, and unsubstantiated claims. This isn't about you. Stay on topic!

@graphophobius I was born and raised in Canada. English is the only language I read, write and speak. What exactly is suspect about my writing style?

The vast majority of my writers are also Canadian. All of them speak English as a first language. I have a few American writers, and one writer who's from the UK.

To your point, I think the likes of writers2beware are keeping this forum from becoming the vibrant and positive community it could and should be. It's hard to find an open thread that isn't riddled with his crazy rants.

So I wrote a response and the jerk Mod completely deleted it. I didn't even get the benefit of being moved to an off topic thread.

Anyway, aplus, your writing speaks for itself. There's some weird redundancy in way you write and the use of 'ensure' and defense thereof was definitely a bit off.

There's no proof for who you say you are. For all I know, you could be W2B's incestuous-gay lover. Or you could be the scarecrow's, er, I mean, Ed75's long lost brain.

So how do you set your prices? How do you provide specialized customer service? Say a customer wants to chat with their writer. Some projects do need special attention and the middlemen (companies) just get in the way.

How do you hire writers? Do you rely on the never-ending pool of over-educated knowledge workers so that you can maintain low pay? What percentage of the fee are they getting?

I have posted probably 90% of all legitimate, helpful, research-based threads in the history of this forum. So, I politely invite you to go f yourself.

Also, there is no expectation of a "vibrant and positive" environment in a forum that is dedicated to uncovering scams and refuting inaccurate, potentially harmful statements (such as those in several of your early posts).

Fair enough. I'll take that as constructive criticism.


That's true. I'm sure the same could be said of any member on this forum or any other forum for that matter.


Prices are set based on the due date of the order and the level the client would like the paper to be written. Prices go from as low as $25 to as high as $40. That's Canadian dollars....$20-$32 USD. Customers have the ability to correspond with writers in a number of ways. Without getting into the details of how my system works, writers and customers are able to have a back and forth and my clients make regular use of this feature. I've actually invested quite a bit in doing everything possible to remove the middleman all together, while of course maintaining a mechanism that prevents my writers from picking off my clients. I'm a big fan of automation to the fullest extent possible. Low cost and effective scaling is the way to go


I've used websites like Elance and Guru in the past, albeit will limited success. I only hire writers from North America and the UK, and 90% of applicants I get through these popular freelancing websites are from places like India, Pakistan etc.. I've most recently used classified ads. I have writers fill out an application form and provide a few samples of their work. I try to either call or skype every writer I consider bringing on board. I've gone through the unfortunate experience of having a writer jump ship mid job, and it's not fun having to either cancel an order or scramble to find a writer willing to complete it on short notice. Calling them gives me the ability to assess how serious they are and how committed they would be. I end up hiring about 5-10% of all applicants. As far as pay, they get 30-40% of revenue depending on the job. Some writers get more than others. I also tip generously every now and then. It's hard to be successful if your writers aren't happy. A majority of my writers have been with me from day one, and I attribute a large part of my success to the relationships I've built with them.

lmfao

"Graphophobius is successful."

LMFAO!

Wow. That's not a lot of pay. So $26 per page at ~35% of the cut is only about $9.00 USD. That's way, way far below the standard rates for non-ESL ghostwriting. I couldn't live on that and would be better off working part-time at Walmart. It's hard to believe that you are holding onto quality writers for that kind of money.

What kind of clients do you cater? What are the qualifications of your writers?

$8/page sucks, especially when you apparently also have to tolerate an invasive know-it-all.

Not true. There are plenty of ways to verify a member's identity. One PM is all it takes.
