“My experience is positive”

Krish R.
7/8/24

My experience with this website is positive. I am quite satisfied with an option to work part-time and earn for my living once I need it. Easy-going platform interface, comfortable conditions and rules. Like their orders and the way they provide info and support.

“NEVER SEND THEM YOUR DOCUMENTS! They are cheaters!”

Alex M.
4/17/24

I have completed all the tests and submitted education certificates. In a few days, their manager, Angelina, contacted me and requested a photo of my passport. Even though it is not a governmental position, but an illegal ghostwriting service, they still require numerous documents. The next day, Angelina rejected my application, stating 'experienced managers found the document is altered.' However, my document is absolutely legal and can be checked via official checkers. Angelina refused to provide an explanation. When I offered an official governmental check of my document to prove its authenticity, Angelina disappeared. I found: 1. The company is illegal and gathers documents for illegal purposes. NEVER send them your docs. 2. They operate under FAKE names! Just check their LinkedIn profile: the location is Ukraine, the registration address is Cyprus, while they claim to be from the UK. 3. AVOID them; otherwise, they will steal your documents. The screenshots of illegal Angelina's activity are attached

This was far and away the most bizarre experience I have ever had. I have taught in higher education distance learning) so I was suspicious. Now I am aghast The portal sucks, their communications suck, the assignments range from 1 page but takes HOURS to who knows. (I quit at one.) But they have bad grammar in their own materials so what can you expect?

Avoid. Do not even bother.

Thank you for your feedback, Carroll.
We started our cooperation back in winter, and it quickly came to an end.
We were ready to provide you with our assistance, explanations and guidance throughout the working process and update you on our expectations, requirements, and benefits. However, after a couple of misunderstandings you decided to terminate your cooperation with us.
We respect your decision regardless, and wish you all the best in all your accomplishments.

Hi,
Having worked for over 5 years with WriterBay, I specifically like their robust writer portal, timely promotions, thoughtful bonuses, prompt payment schedule and awesome 24 x 7 customer service. They are very strict in evaluation of papers before they are delivered to client, but this is a blessing in disguise for writers to go through an excellent learning curve and master their knowledge of citations and referencing styles. In case of any issues, they are considerate in mediating between the writer and the client. I am fully satisfied with the association and it is a great place for writers.

I have been working with WriterBay for quite some time now and I must say that I have had a wonderful experience so far. Their support staff is very cooperative and is always available to help. The best part is that they get plenty of orders on a daily basis so you are never out of work. I'd strongly recommend good writers to give them a try. You'll get to learn and earn within the comfort of your homes!

I enjoy working as writer at WriterBay and have no idea why one can call a place for freelancers a modern slavery. They have no requirements on workflow and give maximum freedom. You choose the orders you like and provide your price bid. Sometimes you may stumble upon a complicated client and it may take time to explain your point; however, the Support Team is usually helpful and understanding.

I've recently joined writerbay as a freelance writer. You know, I liked it from the very beginning when I've been applying. Their tutorial is so impressive as it's useful and info there is needed to understand the specifics of working on the website. Later, I saw many useful guides and materials so i am confident in writing with them. Cool!

Wow, I have been working with this website for a while and Im so surprised to see all these feedbacks. The staff is pleasant and understanding, I have not experienced any delays with payment either. Yeah, it is mentioned on their page that the location is Marshall Islands but it never bothered me until Im paid and fairly treated.

Cheers

I've been a freelance writer at Writerbay for about a year. I also tried working for some other freelance writing websites, but now I have firmly decided to stay with Writerbay, as they pay regularly, set decent prices for the projects and their support team is very attentive and helping.

Tip for consumers:
Choose Payoneer as your payment option - no comission fees, no delays in payment!

I have qualified through a very difficult criteria set by them but in the end, they reject me for an IP mismatch. While they have all of my credentials and applying from Pakistan using Pakistani internet and cell numbers how IP mismatches?

Dear Haq,
We appreciate your interest in WriterBay.com and the position of freelance academic writer for which you applied.

After reviewing your application form, we have noticed a country-IP mismatch which stands against our Company's Policy and Terms of Use, which in turn states

Dear Malik,

We are sorry to hear that your experience with our service was not positive. We would like to emphasize that properly verifying an applicant's identity as well as confirming their location are essential steps of our application process. Therefore, we must ensure that there are no discrepancies between your indicated location and your actual IP address. In the very first email confirming your registration with us it was mentioned that any use of proxy service to hide your actual location during the application process is strictly prohibited by our Terms of Use.
In case you are certain that you did not use any proxy or VPN service, the issue lay in the way your Internet provider distorts the traffic resulting in an incorrect reflection of your IP address. We encourage you to look into the matter and do not hesitate to send us any further questions or concerns you may have to manager@writerbay.com

I used to write for Writerbay when I was a student since you can take orders with the deadlines that suitable for you, so to combine your studies and some writing. I have not been active for some time as I do have some other stuff to worry about, but I might consider returning back. A friend of mine is still working there as a freelancer (I referred her) and her overall impression is good. Which is nice, is that I actually earn on my friend's orders and have some passive income due to the referral program Writerbay provides.

Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Thank you for such a positive feedback. The referral program makes the working process and earning easier for our writers. Each and every writer has a chance to save extra money with inviting their friends to the company and making the family bigger. We are glad to see that you experience such a splendid bonus from Writerbay. Still, you have a chance to come back anytime you want. Just send a message to manager@writerbay.com with this particular request. Wish you good luck!

Though I have applied numerous times for a writer's position with this company, I have never managed to get through and though I have been writing for other academic sites for more than 3 years, it clearly demonstrates that they require quality. But what I wonder is whether their application is legit.In one case, I was told that my application was rejected due to not verifying the phone number which is untrue.

Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Dear John,
Thanks for your comment! Please remember that you may apply no sooner than in a year after your application has been rejected. We are sure you'll be one of our active writers soon!
As for the reasons for rejection, phone verification is not an issue. In order to receive feedback regarding your application, please email us at support@writerbay.com
Wish you a productive time ahead!

Homework cheating site. You are not a real writer if you work here, you are just someone doing other people's homework.

They sack you for no reason.

Beware of the person who uses the fake name Claire ---she or he (I think Claire is really an angry waiter) use the email address *******@writerbay.com and respond to the complaints about the business posted on line here. He/she tells writers who complain to contact her at *******@writerbay.com, and then the writer gets locked out of their accounts. You can read many posts online hiring writers from Africa and India to write under Writer Bay accounts for 1 per page. The people who own and work at writerbay.com are from India. They go by many names and they set up fake LinkedIn accounts and other fake accounts trying to legitimise themselves.
See www.crunch.co.uk for real freelance jobs. Or you can go to schools and offer to do student's homework for pay.

I've been working there from Europe, so they are right, they hire writers from all over the world. My experience's been quite nice so far. I got my first payment in September and have been working hard to make more money by this upcoming payment period. All the clients I have dealt with so far were good people, no serious issues, thank god. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to work.

The pricing is fine but could be higher, of course. What I did like about them is what they actually listen to your feedback. For example, if there is something wrong with the assignment details, you notice that and inform their staff - they will make the corrections for sure. They also have a pretty good selection of orders - you can totally choose what you like and what to work at.
Worth trying, I would say.

I'm not entirely sure why the negative reviews are here, but I'm suspecting they are from WB rejects. I've been at WB since April and I can say, the level of support is quite high. Writers can enjoy a full-time income or they can work part-time. Recently, the company has been VERY patient with my schedule and some of the other work I'm doing, which I greatly appreciate! Claims about WB 'gathering free diplomas' are outrageous. Why would they need your diploma? My favorite things about WB - solid support team that will accommodate your personal and / or professional life, more orders than you could imagine and for the real writers out there (i. E. not just those doing it for easy money), an opportunity to express yourself every day! I highly recommend applying if you're a proficient writer, as I guarantee you'll be treated with respect. Oh, by the way, to the person claiming they will submit a police report - GOOD LUCK!

WriterBay gives me the opportunity to do both. I enjoy working with content that requires research, but also give me the opportunity to give my own opinion. It can be stressful, because the deadlines are sometimes quite hectic, especially for the assignments I enjoy most. The writing stimulates the brain, and help those who are struggling with English. It would be wonderful, though, if they could give their writers a raise each year, such as as with regular businesses. Other than that, it is a pleasure working for WriterBay.

I have worked for them for some time. They are legit and really pay. Their Support Team is available 24/7 and that appears to be very convenient in vase of emergencies
Payments for writing jobs are ok, although, it takes some to receive the manager's approval. In general I was satisfied.

I started working with Writerbay in 2014. I admit that the company groomed me as a professional writer. While working with Writerbay, I never felt that my job is getting saturated as we generally feel when we are doing 9 to 5 job. Every paper is a new challenge for the writer and every order is a treasure of knowledge. The entire team of Writerbay strives to support the writers 24/7. I am very proud of being the part of such professional team. Let me share you some of the very strong points of Writerbay.

* Entire support team is very responsive, helpful and prompt.
* The writers are always respected by the company and treated as valuable asset.
* Timely payment. During these five years, I did not experience delay in payment even for
A single time.

That is why, I left my full time job and other websites and work only for Writerbay.

Exp: 5 years plus
Staff: Rude
My work for Writerbay: 700+ orders
Started working in 2016
Excessive fines
No one will actually call you to see what happened.
Mainly bots
Cheap Management
Give 15% of what they charge clients which is pennies.
A client messaged me that he paid $150 for an order that they gave me only 20 dollars and that's how I found out.
Advice to writers: there are many other platforms available for beginning writers and skillful writers
I can attach more screenshots if required.

Tip for consumers:
There are so many other venues available

Although I have never owned my own account at WB, I have had many instances of looking at the site and how the customer support team works. Claire is quite strict (so is any other boos). However, their pay is quite average and with hard work, writers can make over $2000 per month. I just applied for an account with them and I am hoping for the best.
