Freelance Writer Jobs

If you are like me, you are always looking for ways to make extra money with your freelance writing abilities. If you have a Bachelor's, Master's or PhD and you like to write, you may want to try getting a part or full time position at EssayWriters.net.

EssayWriters.net typically pays anywhere from $3 to $16 per double spaced page for your work. They have a list of approximately 100-200 assignments that you can choose from, with a wide range of subject matter, including art, biology, health, nursing, psychology and much, much more. Most jobs are either in essay or research format, and you should be a bit familiar with the APA or MLA citation method, although they do provide basic guidelines to follow if you are not at ease with this style of writing.

To be hired, you must fill out an application and wait for a week or two, or maybe even three before they get back to you. In the meantime, if you have any questions, they do have customer service that you can chat with online, if you want to call it customer service!

Ultimately, the bottom line however, is, making money this way has its frustrations. For example, many times, the customer places an order, but does not give clear instructions on how he/she wants the paper to be done. When they don't return the writer's emails, which is often the case, the writer may be unable to complete the assignment in a timely manner, ultimately causing the order to be released back into the que. Consequently, if done to close to the deadline, this can cause the writer to be fined. There seems to always be a down side to everything, don't you agree!

The way to get around this dilemma is to pick a relatively simple subject and paper that gives you clear instructions that you understand from the get-go! If you follow this advice, you should be ok and many times, you will get a customer who actually responds to you.

On the plus side, in my first 2 weeks with EssayWriters.net, I made about $150 and could have made much more, had the customer and customer service been more responsive!
