I'm based in the UK and I invoice people in advance, however I have students trying to get me to write a piece for them with no payment. I've even had one person offer to pay me "something extra" once the work is completed. I've refused.
How do other freelance essay writers charge?

If it's a return client, I'll charge half up front, half upon completion. I do that very rarely.
If it's someone I haven't written for before, I'll charge the full amount in advance.
I didn't charge in advance once and got ripped off, never again.

Hi writer, welcome aboard.
I used to do more work for individual customers than I do now. Unless you know them irl, internet transactions with customers can be a bit risky.
When I have worked with individuals, I have preferred to take work from individuals that I can meet in person. Consumers who want help improving the quality of their existing manuscripts often require a personal meeting anyway as it protects both parties. That may be a limited option for you depending on where you live but if you live near an urban area, it could provide an additional outlet.
If you live near a school, you can advertise on campus. Before I moved to my current location, I worked in a college writing lab and helped students polish their projects on campus.
Another option is to develop your own website. It's an idea I play with from time to time but I have honestly been so busy that I keep setting it aside.
Freelance writing websites and forums where jobs are posted are another resource. Again, the warning about online work applies.
Jonesr - I'm not currently looking for new clients, so thank you but I'll pass.
