Providing a couple of pages for free to show the quality of work to the student?

From a freelance writer's perspective, I still don't know of a single writer/service that provides any work for free and is actually worth the cost, present company included.

Now that is just because you would never provide a couple of pages for free to show the quality of your work to the student, like you said you yourself that you would never provide any work for free that is actually worth money. But we do and we have a 100% customer satisfaction ratings.

Honest did you ever hear any student complaining about our services i mean literally any one..? ~

The reason I say that I still don't know anyone that offers free work that is worth the cost is because everyone I've seen offering free work has questionable English skills, such as those evidenced in this response. If you were capable of producing the same quality of work as I and many other writers here, you wouldn't have to offer free samples to draw customers in--you'd have more work than you could handle most of the year.

Honestly, I've never known anyone that used your services at all. If your advertising is any indication of the quality level of your service, though, students looking for solid and consistent language mechanics will be disappointed.

ahahah so now you will point out the typing errors in the post, crazy!

Free PagesIn the footer of our home page you will find 4 assignments custom written by our writing team, now that is the quality of our work.

We believe in absolute customer satisfaction.

Most companies promise customized essays, take your money upfront and provide entirely plagiarized work, deviating from the initial instructions, while we let our writing do the talking and prove ourselves to you with a 100% ORIGINAL CUSTOM ESSAY SAMPLE of your desired specifications.

We take immense pride in our academic writing department, which has consistently delivered flawless and absolutely original essay sample customers before they pay. Within the ambit of academic writing there exists a diverse array of formats which a customer may demand depending on the length and purpose of the piece. Students do get skeptic paying the money upfront and so our organization came up with this solution. We are not just capable but we certainly are providing a much better quality that is exactly why we kinda offer a free trail of our services.

Not liked or appreciated by many in the field but true apologies once again as the service is loved by students.

Try creating a post: Did you ever try the essays online and you will know as to how many students tried it and how many are satisfied.

Our confidence in our writing team is absolute and unwavering, which is why we are willing to provide a free 2-3 page sample of the required topic. We have never experienced a situation where a customer that has received a free sample and did not immediately place an order.

Honestly, don't you know about the writing companies conveying vague details in the hope that a somewhat coherent piece of work is created, that is the only reason why we also let the students talk to our writers directly over the phone so that they only place an order once they are 100% sure of what exactly would be the quality of their paper.

though, students looking for solid and consistent language mechanics will be disappointed.

and her? were you saying something about " solid and consistent language mechanics" ~~~

Hope i've answered all your questions :p

I'm really not too interested in debating you on this point. The free samples on your site are decent (though rife with common errors), but do not necessarily reflect the quality of the work you can produce.

How about this: since you're willing to provide free samples, why not provide one here? If you can produce 200+ words on the current "fiscal cliff" problem the US is facing and its implications for the US/global economy in the next few hours, my skepticism will be substantially reduced. If the quality is as good as you say, it could only serve to better advertise your company.

By the way, if you were trying to point out some sort of error I made, you'll need to be more specific. I don't see any problem in the line you quoted.

Agreed! It DOES reflect the quality of the work we produce.

haha good one, so you want our writing department to write a customized article on fiscal cliff, just to reduce "your" skepticism or just for you ? wow

Those 4 assignments that we uploaded are serving to better advertise our company.

just for your satisfaction---

How about this: since you're willing to provide free samples, why not provide one here?

--- as soon as our writing team delivers the assigned orders we will assign one our our writing team to write 100 words on fiscal cliff for you~ with a sole reason to reduce you skepticism :)

How big a team and how much time do you need to write a lousy 100 words? It's one paragraph.

i send short samples/outlines and have never had an issue.

Sending old samples is fine, but I don't need work badly enough to write anything for free.

Just look at them they are negative about it already, that's "crraazumm" !!

i might eventually stop this practice, but for me it's less about the customer and more about ensuring we're both on the same page to cover my own ass. at the most i send a paragraph.

Actually, that's just a common American idiom, like the British equivalent "bloody"; it wasn't a qualitative prediction, although, call me crazy, to be perfectly honest, I expect that it's likely to be accurate. Do you write for a lot of American customers?

Actually, writing 100 words shouldn't take anything close to 24 minutes for anybody in this industry, especially when that "lousy" 100 words is supposed to prove the quality of your product in response to a challenge that you've already accepted (almost 8 hours ago). As of right now, your turn-around time for a single full page of writing would appear to be at least 24 hours.

Trip down the Tax -Cliff:
US economy dwindles to another recession as economist claim, referring to apparent fiscal downturn.
House of Representatives denounced the fiscal increase tax bill presented by the Republican Party due to minute support.
'Fitch claims it to be the single biggest, near term threat to world economy, added decline to the growth of economy and impact on its financial stability, following the loss of US AAA rating by 'Fitch.

Prevention on raising debt ceiling and longer term plan to reduce borrowing is cause for fall in US rating; this combined with $600bn strike to the economy could push it into recession.

it took 35 minutes.

its vast topic so ~ 100 words ~ :p

Well, it did improve the second time, when you went back and added some of the missing "the"s (you need to add a few more, by the way), but there are still some major problems with grammar and clarity. It also fails to provide any concrete information about the causes or potential outcomes of the "fiscal cliff." I know it's only 100 words (I still think 200 would have been better), but it really doesn't sound as though the writer has a clue what he/she is talking about--it sounds like this was poorly spun from several news articles.

If this is the type of work your company produces, I stand by my earlier statement: free work isn't worth the cost.

You're no writer; nor is whoever wrote that nonsensical mess. A professional writer who's qualified to take people's hard-earned money for his time would probably have answered the question something like this and it wouldn't have taken him longer than 10 minutes to do it:

The so-called 'Fiscal Cliff refers to a series of dramatic changes to tax rates and government spending in the United States scheduled to go into effect automatically after the end of the year. Generally, those changes include the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts and widespread deep spending cuts to more than 1,000 government programs, in addition to such extreme reductions in military spending that they were originally proposed only as a means to incentivize increased bipartisan cooperation in Washington to solve long-term budget problems.

All of those cuts were designed as part of the solution to the debt ceiling crises that unfolded in 2011 after the most radical group of Republican legislators in Congress refused to authorize an increase to the debt ceiling that permits the U.S. government to pay for the debt already incurred by the nation. The debt ceiling is a mechanism intended to limit the maximum allowable government spending from year to year. Historically, that process has never been more than a formality since it only authorizes the issuance of debt for the repayment of money already spent. However, in 2010, congressional representatives who had pledged their fidelity to the 'Tea Party dogma essentially held the good faith and credit of the nation hostage, refusing to allow that routine process without political concessions in relation to government spending that they had been unable to achieve through the normal processes of political negotiation and compromise. Because the strength and relative stability of the U.S. economy is crucial to the stability of international markets, the consequences of a default on its debts also reach far beyond its national borders.

As part of the negotiations to allow the debt ceiling to be raised in 2011, congressional Democrats were forced to agree to spending cuts to government programs and to a massive reduction in the military budget. In fact, those spending cuts were expressly intended to be so severe that both parties might be sufficiently motivated to avoid them that they would engage in more meaningful and good-faith negotiations in the interim to resolve their fundamentally irreconcilable ideological approaches to any long-term budget reform. Unless they do so within the next few days, the U.S. economy goes off that cliff on January 1st.

I once worked for a Japanese magazine that paid $60/100 words. of course, they were relying on me to write fluent, nuanced English, not gibberish.

here's a clue to all ESL speakers/writers: learn when to use your articles. spend time. it's a really hard part of English, but nailing it means a lot.

if you just breeze through learning articles, it's like writing "idiot" on your forehead.

Submitting a writing sample for any reason doesn't make sense. The student should be able to tell whether or not the writer will be able to do the job while speaking to the writer. Providing free samples to the student doesn't help anyone. However, posting a few pages of various work samples along with the writer profile makes more sense. I have heard of a few academic writing companies that now implement these methods and they have told me that the method works very well for them. Even the writers find that the clients they get are more attuned to the writing style of the writer and they have lesser revision requests because of the new method of choosing a writer for a specific order. I guess the method of choosing writers will also evolve with the way that orders are placed and what new writer screening methods can be cooked up by the academic outsourcing companies. It is one thing to provide a writing sample for general reference, it is another thing to give a writing sample on a specific topic to a client. The latter is something that should never be done because the writer will not be paid for it.

Business models tend to change over time. The academic writing business is not an exception. Students requirements change over time and, because of the problems they have been having in hiring writers both independently and company based, I can understand why they would ask to see a writing sample from the writer.

On the part of the student, it allows them a semblance of scrutinizing the writer they are considering hiring. On the part of the writer, the sample paper, even if it is only half a paper, will suggest to the student that this is my writing skill level and I can produce a paper at this level for you. That means, the writer will be conscious of the fact that he should not try to get a job beyond his expertise. By delivering a sampler of his work, he showcases the quality of his products and allows the student to make an educated decision about whether to hire him or not.

One can liken the writer sample work situation to walking in the supermarket aisle and coming across those "free taste" tables in the aisles. I get to sample the product and then decide if I want to buy it or not. The free taste calls my attention to a product that I may not have noticed before. The "free taste" is given without charges and you don't get anything more than a small bite to help you make a decision. The same concept is in play with regards to the writer sample request from students. That is all the students are asking for in this instance. A small sample of work, not a completed paper, in a related field that can help them make a qualified decision as to whether or not to hire a writer.

Like has already been pointed out, a knowledgeable student should know that any samples needed, no matter how relevant and specific, can be easily downloaded from the internet by the said 'writer' within a matter of minutes

Some writers with sufficient reputation may find this exercise of providing samples unnecessary and time-wasting. Apple doesn't need to use gimmicks to draw sales. Can't say the same for a new questionable telecom or smartphone manufacturer with a dingy background yet to prove itself in a market whose top players are already known

I'd be leery of any writer that offered to provide a few free pages so you can see their quality. Offering a discount, yes, or suggesting that you start with the first few pages before proceeding with the full order, yes. But otherwise, we'd be risking that you'd take the free 2-3 pages and run and we'd be out time and NO income for our work.

As for writing samples in general, I don't provide them because that would mean taking part of another client's work to show a prospective client. That would be a confidentiality breach and would risk the prospective client using my client's work as his/her own.

The best route if you are in doubt is to start with a small order or request to see the first few pages before proceeding with the full project. As for getting those first few pages free, top writers won't do it. Those who do, beware.

If a student would like to be sure that the writer can pull off the job, he should ask the writer to write a summary of how he would approach the writing of a paper. Similar to a bidding system, I ask my writers to submit their application bid to the client in the form of a summary of their understanding of what the assignment requires them to deliver. Based on the knowledge of the writer, the student will have a better opportunity to assess the knowledge of the writer, the writing style, and his ability to complete the paper. This prevents any writer who simply wants to bid on the high priced order, without actually having the skills to complete the paper, from applying for the job.

Busy writers don't have time to write free "summaries" for every prospective client with an inquiry. Only inexperienced fledgling writers who desperately need their first clients have that kind of time to spare. As always, unless you're content to limit yourself to the least-experienced writers (many of whom will soon find out that they aren't good enough to do this for a living in the first place and won't be able to provide a high-quality product), the only realistic way to test a writer before you pay for a substantial project is to pay for a very short project, first. If you want to make that first test a paid one-page "summary" of a suggested approach to your project, that's fine; just don't expect any good writer who already does this for a living with any degree of success to write anything of that nature for free to prove his abilities to you.

I see nothing wrong with providing a redacted writing sample to a student / potential client who asks for it. Seasoned writers should have a library of their previous work collected so that when a student asks to see his sample work on a particular topic, he should have no problem providing a few pages of it. That is one of the good ways to combat the rise of AI as an academic writer. That is the best way to prove to the student that the human writer will be able to do a better job than the AI his peer recommended that he use.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.
