Ekta, thank you for the recognition.

You will not receive true results. Most of the posts will be from people who are associated with the sites that they recommend, giving the sites positive comments regardless of how fraudulent the sites may be. This is one of the reasons why promotion/recommendations are not allowed.

I am from India and am interested to know I can possibly be employed by which companies

I think almost all the companies are proved to be fraud. I had bad experiance with these companies.Still I believe that there are some legimate companies.Anyhow you can move forward as this service surely fetch you a lot of academic knowledge by refering various sources. It's very comfortable job and you can earn nice income till the day the company intends to cheat you.

Whitegrim, anyone with half of a brain immediately recognizes that you aren't in my league.

You are incredibly sad. You literally bring a tear to my eye. Are you bed-ridden, and your only solace is a laptop through which you can type away your bitterness and sorrow? No healthy person with even a faint amount of hope or self-esteem would engage in your current schedule of "WB-bashing." Tell me--deep down, do you love yourself at all?

When lying in bed at the end of each day, having been beaten down yet again by the drudgery of your own existence, do you think about ending it all? Do you think about stopping the pain? It must be difficult knowing that not a single, earthly sole loves you. Even if you were to take your own life, it wouldn't make a ripple. You've already accepted that fact, but it hurts, doesn't it?

I feel sorry for you, because you have about as much to look forward to in life as a racehorse with a broken leg. At least when a racehorse dies, its death means a little something. Its death contributes something to society--glue. No, not the glue that you sniff to ease your depression, but the glue that will one day affix the small piece of paper to your cheap, stapled together, pine casket, reading:

"Here lays John Doe."

LMAO! Thanks for taking the bait! It's about time! I knew that some lame-brain crook would create a new username just to call-out that INTENTIONAL wordplay. Good job. Thank you for publicly confirming that crooks have absolutely no legitimate rebuttals against me, so they must resort to calling-out a rare typo as of it were some sort of "victory." Sad.

There is only one way to distinguish legitimate good companies from bad companies - consider the fee given to writers.

US Companies should pay a minimum of 10 dollars per page
UK Companies should pay a minimum of 10 pounds per page
European companies should pay a minimum of 10 euros per page

and so on...

This means a pay rate of 40 dollars/ 40 pounds/40 euros etc. per 1000 words would be standard as given by legitimate US/UK/European companies. of course some companies pay more and some pay less but writers should stress on this standardization so that they are not exploited.
If you are a writer and work for less, you are harming yourself and others and also lowering the standards of the industry and encouraging fraud

I have been following several threads of this forum.
My question is to Mak or anyone who may be qualified to answer it.

I can't but help wondering, how all the sites mentioned above manage to top the google search engines. I mean, do they actually earn so much that they can afford to bid high enough to maintain their ratings?

I really do want to know how they manage to do all this.
I mean, is it that simple? Simply publish your site on the web and attract clients?

I understand that they may not be in the initial years of their business....but then, they must have begun somehow.

Going by the manner in which these company representatives or owners are spoken of, I wonder how they would be managing all this.
For instance, in the above post, Essay Academy is owned by a Chinese Entreprenuer and has a site for inviting clients and writers.
But there must be a parallel site as well, to enable tehir writers to see the orders placed by clients......How do they manage this?

Hi did you find anywher of use? I am in your situation now and would like to know what you did

Garraztazu:

Essay Academy is a credible company that pays well and on time.

You a student, or writer?

Garraztazu:

Do you know anything about them?

No, I don't. But I know about Academic research and Project1stclass. Please don't write for them, espcially the latter. AR recently cheated my fellow writer very badly. Took 20000 well-written work and didn't pay. You are right to be careful. As a beginner I wasn't.

I really appreciate reading all of the posts on this website. I actually started writing for a company without really knowing how these services worked, or even if that they existed. I went in to interview for an unrelated position at a company that needed someone with copyediting experience. They wound up going with another candidate but asked if I wanted to freelance, which is what I've been doing. My experience has been positive, but I'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that I've physically been to the office and met the people. They also pay significantly higher than a lot of the numbers I've seen floating around, so I'm fortunate in that regard as well. However, the work flow is very inconsistent, and I've been looking into the possibility of working for other companies. The advice I've been reading on this board has been invaluable. Thanks!

EssayAcademy.co.uk-Owned by some Chinese entrepreneur and pay with in three days.The HR is good but their english is terrible.But generally good natured people. These companies pay on time for sure.I am not sure about the rest though. Academic Knowledge etc are well established but have bad reviews atleast on our forum.Try Prospect-Solution.They seem nice. Whatever you do don't work for peanuts.....6-7$ a page is NOT good compensation.The companies mentioned above will give you at least 40-100 pounds per 1000 words which means you will be comfortably well off with them and will be able to focus on the quality of your work! Tips for better writing- Try and get hold of an Athens Password from a student friend.Proquest is equally good. Do plenty of reading before you write anything.Extensive reading makes a good writer.
