Earning Online as a Freelance Academic Writer

I became an online freelance writer in 2006 less than a month after we had our computer connected to the world wide web. I started writing as an "essay writer".


My first writing job was to edit an application letter of somebody who was applying to get a Masters degree. I have noticed though that my succeeding jobs are no longer just writing essays but writing essays and term papers for students. I actually worked for paper mills writing papers for high school and even law students. I have learned how to use the APA, MLA, turabian, harvard citation and writing formats. Working for paper mill is the worst online job that I had. It is dishonest job and in a way, I tolerated students to become lazy cheats. It is quite nice to be called an academic writer but it is actually the worst job that I had. After having some self evaluation, I resigned and risked not having an online writing job. Thankfully, a month after I resigned, my application to work as a web content article writer was approved.

If you are considering the idea of becoming an academic writer, you may also take note that these paper mills are not also fair with their writers. You get to be always paid past your payment date (I experienced receiving my payments more than 1 month late). The people who review the papers are also sometimes illogical and st--p-- you get to be fined for a plagiarism case you did not make so if you are looking for a job I discourage you from becoming a freelance academic writer.

I agree with you really should do more research on those papers. But if people really find it too hard and people dont have the time, once in a while they could ask for additional outside help .
It would be best if you try out this strategy. Let me know what you
think. Its alright in emergency and for learning. not as a common practice.

Not all term paper companies are bad to work for. I've worked for Paper Mastersfor over 4 years and they pay weekly, pay more than others ($8 per page) and I never get an unreasonable complaint from them on my work. I know they need more writers too.

Not all term paper companies are alike. We at Paper Masters value and need writers badly! We pay weekly, pay more than other companies and always try to be fair and reasonable. Family owned and operated in the US, we love our writers and know they are the heart and soul of our success.
Dear,

Interesting to see your experience with academic writing, I know they are some time quite bothering (especially “essaywriters”, anyhow, at the same time they are quite reasonable payers too. I’ve been working with three online academic services provides, first one was “academicexperts” second one was “essaywriters” and third one is “academia-research” I rate “academicexperts” at top then I suggest you to join “academia-research” they both are high payers but with less work-yield, on third position essay “writers” they have more work but they are quite bothering with less per page remuneration.

Buddy plz tell more about web-content writer. I’ve head about it a lot, but still have curiosity about what it is all about. If you or someone can provide a little knowledge about it, I really appreciate your help. Plz write to me @ waqas_ism@yahoo.com

Regards.
