“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.

Top Critical Review

“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

Writerbay is one of the best Freelance Writing companies. However, it is difficult to get hired. I applied last year but was unsuccessful. I have applied again this year. I hope this year I will be considered because I have improved my skills significantly.

Ive been working with Writerbay for a while and cannot say that the picture is that bad as it is described here. Im not even sure if its the actual truth. They do pay the money and, as compared to other services, the salary is decent enough. Of course, you have to work hard to have as much as you want, but its the very idea of a job, isnt it?
By the way, their recent idea with that bot made my life way easier - I never thought that Id like Telegram and all that stuff but here I am.
To Writerbay: do not be discouraged with mean comments, you cannot be responsible for everything that happens with anyones lives.

Very frustrating and slippery organisation. The address in London doesn't exist:

56 Wilmington Ave, Chiswick, London W4 3HA

There ain't no such place.

All the facebook and linkedin profiles connected with this company appear fabricated. The drones that work for them robotically refuse to disclose basic details about the company: CEO, HQ, non-generic email contacts etc. The domain is registered in NJ with a company that specialises in hiding the details of the registrant. The company operates in no-man's land, presumably so as to avoid any accountability. At a guess, I would say they are based in India.

If anyone has a concrete contact for writerbay.com that they would like to share, feel free to pm me. The sooner we get these cheats shut down, the better for everyone.

Thanks.

Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Thank you for your review.

No, we are not located in India. We work 24/7 and have Support team available via phone, e-mail, and messages (something scam companies do not do). Our LinkedIn recruiting profiles, Facebook and Twitter are regularly updated and would only appear fabricated if you have not had a chance to check them out and base your judgment on unofficial social pages created by someone outside of WriterBay.

We do not disclose our employees' personal data to third parties because that would be against any employer's legal obligations there are.

Years of us being on the market, thousands of satisfied and loyal clients, and a large pool of freelancers working for our company for years with many joining every day show that we are doing great. We appreciate your comments and will be doing our best to improve our services. Thank you for your feedback and the best of luck to you in your future career pursuits, David.

Best regards

Don't be fooled. This site is not the place for any decent writer. I received a PM through LinkedIn from a Kathy Howlerin. Interestingly this person has no social media presence, an off thing for a writer wouldn't you say? The recent positive reviews are cheezy and likely planted. Go get a real job.

Thumbnail of user adminw
Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Thank you for your feedback, Yvette.

Kathy Howlerin is not one of our official recruiters and might be a person who takes part in our referral program (http://www.writerbay.com/referral_program.html). All positive reviews are left by our existing or former freelancers and we could not be more thankful to work with people who appreciate the positives and help us grow by pointing out some overlooks and flaws.

We hope your writing career helps you prosper and grow.
All the best

My account as deleted awhile ago for no reason in my opinion, so there's that. The English of the employees is also really bad. It was funny when I was told that the essay I wrote had grammar errors, and then I found out that the person reviewing it really just didn't know English well enough to understand what I wrote. They're based in the Philippines, and Filipino English allows for a lot of what would be considered grammatical errors in American and British English, so that is what this experience is like.

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. We are deeply sorry to know that your application had been denied previously. First and foremost, we would like to keep you informed, that all the applications are checked with highest and endeavored attention. The level of English performed in applications may sometimes be not quite appropriate for the writing academic papers, since we strive to deliver exceptionally best quality projects to Clients. Secondly, we are located in London, this is not the secret. Moreover, our contacts are always available. If you have any questions, requests, offers, feel free to contact us anytime via email manager@writerbay.com. We would be more than glad to help you.

I am happy with the wide array of choices in the website. The support provided by the website to the writers is commendable. There is opportunity for growth as well.

But i have a few suggestions,
If the writer has asked for clarifications and the reply from the client is getting delayed, it would be better if the due date be adjusted taking into consideration the days lost for the writer waiiting for clarificationfr

Dear Simmy, we are thankful for your comment!

From our side, we always try to negotiate the deadline with a client and create more comfortable working conditions for all the writers.
We wish you a lovely time ahead! In case of any issues, please do not hesitate to contact our Management via HelpDesk.

Guys, please keep away from Writerbay. They will treat you awful, pay pennies or even just deactivate your account. I worked for few monthe there and it ruined my life, I was so down I could not tell you! They offer unbelievably baaaad conditinos for you, do not provide you with any support or relevant consultancy in case of emergency. Do not even register there, if you respect yourself!

I've been working with Writerbay since 2012 and has never been so grateful for them for believing in my capabilitues. I've learned a lot from them and my writing skills have improved so much. The people I worked with know their stuff and were very professional in dealing with issues. The best thing about Writerbay is that you learn while you earn. I love Writerbay and will continue to work with them for as long as I live.

It's easy as it is: WriterBay.com offers freelance writing jobs. All you have to do to start making money is to apply your expertise from the comfort of your home. Our user-friendly control panel makes job hunting easy and saves you a lot of time.
How safe is Writerbay?
Nothing really. They will call you on the phone, but when they fail to pay you money you "earned"- you will be robbed because they pay 5-8 dollars and charge their clients 25-45 for that- then they disappear. Please never even consider wasting your time on them.
Q} How much do you earn from Writerbay?
With us you can get up to $20 per page and earn part-time or even full-time income. Please note that you get paid twice per month; however, you need to choose the payment option first.
Is Writerbay com real?
Overview. Writerbay has a consumer rating of 4.11 stars from 153 reviews indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases. Consumers satisfied with Writerbay most frequently mention support team and registration process. Writerbay ranks 6th among Writing Other sites.

I worked with them 4 eyars ago. Now I came accoss the website and decided to come back as remote work is quite helpful during this covid situation. I registered again and I am waiting for their approval. If to compare 4-years-ago Writerbay with a current one I must say that they grew in a good way. They changed the website design and appication procedure. Looks like now they hire only best of the best.

I've been working for Writerbay since 2016. Once I understood the order requirements and the way clients expect orders to be formatted and completed, my ratings improved and so did the payments. During the peak season Writerbay was a crucial source of financial support for me and since then I've relied on Writerbay. They always pay on time, if fines are imposed automatically, after explaining to Help Desk they are reversed. The support team has always been very helpful. Of course there have been times when I have disagreed with revision requests but overall, Writerbay is as tough and fair as any good employer. The only thing is that being from Pakistan, receiving my payments is a hassle even through Payoneer and I suffer from heavy losses due to associated fees. If Writerbay can provide Global Bank Transfers directly to writer accounts in countries like Pakistan it will make life very easy for writers from Pakistan. We would lose less money this way. Otherwise Writerbay has allowed me to save and supplement my regular income. It's not a scam and you're always paid on time.

I just read Mark B.'s review, and as a family member who has watched the torture they love to inflict on writers, I have to say that his assessment of Writerbay is completely true, 100%.

The management is of high school level. They are extremely vindictive. They do turn away all good writers.

I have watched my poor spouse pour heart and soul completely into this worthless company only to have them play games with wages, just like Mike said, and more.

In addition, when my spouse tried to confront them with the issue, they yelled at my spouse, cursed me out, and then hung up on my spouse three times.

This is the rudest, most unprofessional group of managers I have ever experienced, and they are running that company into the ground.

The curse contained a racial slur, by the way, against Americans. Something about entitlement because my wife doesn't want to work in a paper mill sweat shop.

Their working conditions are absolutely horrible.

They should be brought up on charges for violation to international human rights.

My spouse has since then found another company to work for, and they are a really nice group of people. They treat my spouse well, complimenting on talent and give thanks for working with them.

You would have a better chance of working in a den of tigers than with Writerbay. Your survival rate will be higher.

I have to agree with what the previous reviewer said about Writerbay. I started working for Writerbay last year, and it has been an extremely disappointing experience. I bid on jobs all day long, and never get assigned a job. It is apparent that the people assigning jobs have their favourite writers. I have gone from writing an average of 20-30 orders for a previous company, to barely completing 2 orders in a whole month for Writerbay. I barely earn anything after joining Writerbay, and I have had to search for other income since joining them. Other similar companies adopt a fairer approach by ensuring everyone gets some work in a month. Writerbay has no fairness in their approach, because I don't see why a writer will bid on 30 jobs in a month and barely get assigned one job. I think the company needs to change how they assign orders, it is unfair to writers who are shut out due to personal grievances or because someone prefers certain writers. And maybe stop employing more writers when you already have your 'special' writers who get to complete all the jobs? Because I don't understand why a writer will go through the entire recruitment process, only to end up getting only one job a month? It's one of the worst approaches to assigning jobs that I have ever seen.

Thumbnail of user adminw
Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Dear Amanda, thanks for your sincere comment!
Please be informed that we have the Policy regarding assigning orders to the writers. As a rule, we try to give enough work to each and every writer. But from another side, we cannot allow one person to work on too many orders simultaneously. Amanda, we would really love to check your activity on our website and take the appropriate measures in case we notice some instances of unfair treatment. Please provide your ID, as we could not find your profile in our system and make your experience with WriterBay better!
Waiting for your reply! Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to email us at support@writerbay.com

I just started with this company back in September. It seems like they have a lot of work, but I have never really gotten any high-paying work, even though I was qualified to write the order. If they really wanted to create a good system for writers, they would turn it into a take system, like some other companies I've worked for. Then it's just a matter of who is quickest to grab the contract. Writerbay is different, though. They reserve all of the high-paying assignments as a way to favor only certain writers, and then everyone else gets shut out. You can make some money, but it's not much. You're better off going to companies who offer a higher pay per page in the first place, and finding a company where they allow writers to grab the assignments as they see them. This company uses their high paying ones as a weapon, and it does not allow all writers to earn money with their company fairly. If you're not on that extremely short list of writers who get ALL of the high paying assignments, then guess what? You're not going to get any at all.

Thumbnail of user adminw
Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Thank you for your frank feedback. The order-distribution process in our company is quite plain and rational. Most of the writers can take orders automatically. This is the “grabbing” you explained above. If the writer specifically does not have this option, he can receive the project on the competitive manner, being assigned by the Quality Assurance Department. The project also can’t be assigned due to the set of reasons such as lack of information provided by the client if the preferred writer is indicated.
The more experience you receive, more projects complete, the more benefits you receive, including auto-take option (“grabbing”), more salary, a higher position that will distinguish you in the system. The growing process is built on the constant gradual principle. Everything depends on your’s desire to meet and overcome challenges, new horizons, thereby you'll receive more opportunities for yourself. The company’s functionality is built on a writer’s own experience and ideas to improve the service.
If you have any offers regarding integration/implementation in a name of mutual development and ubiquitous success, we would be more than glad to review your ideas. Our email is support@writerbay.com, and we work 24/7.

After my review on sitejabber, a staff member of writerbay supported me, solved my problem so that I could register again and appear for the test. I noted one grammatical mistake in one of the questions and brought it to their notice. I cleared all the tests but they rejected my essay because there was a minor typing mistake as anyone could make out. They pointed out another mistake which I do not accept because it was a citation from a source that was duly cited and written in the same way as in the source. If writerbay makes mistakes in the test should they not have the discretion to decide that a mistake is purely a typing error although it affected the grammar? Had I been bad at grammar, they could have found quite a few mistakes. When they expect flawless work from writers, they must maintain flawless content in the tests and the website. I hope everyone will agree with me. The tough hiring team must first learn to be tough with itself. No doubt it is a good company in many respects. That is why I am so desperate to rejoin.

Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Dear Tusharika, thank you for your feedback. As we see from your profile, before the account termination, multiple notifications and warnings were sent to you. We assure you that accounts are never closed due to one mistake only as we do understand that emergencies do take place. However, multiple instances cannot be tolerated either as they threaten our very aim of timely delivery and high-quality service. Nevertheless, you can always reapply to us in one year and we will be glad to have you back in our team.
You can always contact us via manager@writerbay.com and discuss all the issues that bother you.

Never expect to make any real money at this company. The problem is that they assign orders, which I suppose is their right, but what this does is turns their company into a very political organization. If you cross hairs with someone there and that person is working on that day, you won't get any work. And forget all of the top paying orders. They'll assign those to people who either put in bids to do it for less money or they have a handful of writers who get all of the top work. I have been working there for years, and I have found it impossible to support myself solely on Writerbay. If you do something for them once in a while, I guess it's okay. The people are polite enough, but you have to watch, because you have some people there who will stress you out for no reason, just because it's fun. It makes it very difficult and stressful to earn any real money with them, so make sure that you do not become dependent on them as your primary source of income. It's much better if you have other income to cover when the staff get into that mood and don't feel like assigning you anything for the day or want to assign you all of the lowest paying contracts for the week.

Admin W. – Writerbay Rep

Dear Courtney,
Thank you for sharing your experience! Let me highlight that each and every writer can apply to any orders he wants to complete. However, our Quality Assurance Team members have their own protocols of assigning the most suitable writer for an order. This procedure is necessary due to the fact that meeting client's expectations is one of our primary targets. Moreover, we cannot allow one writer to work on a lot of orders in a row, especially, when it is clearly seen that one person cannot complete such an amount of work within a particular deadline. Lateness Rate is also one of our main concerns. Anyway, we always try to distribute the workload among all the writers for everyone to have a chance to earn as much as possible.
Courtney, we are sorry that for you it appeared to be a secondary income. But for a very big amount of writers, WriterBay is a primary source of income. I hope everyone should understand that each situation is unique.
Wish you a productive time ahead!
If you have any questions, please contact us via live chat or by email support@writerbay.com and we will gladly help you with all your concerns. We work 24/7.

My experience with Writerbay has generally been a good one. I say "generally" because their batting average over the past 8 years has been positive overall, with some major and minor hiccups here and there.

Pros:
Most of the support agents are easy to talk to and work with, with decent response times. Almost all of them have good people skills, with a number that really stand out. Some of the cases and options are fun, too, such as movie reviews and tasks involving creative writing. There are contests every now and then.

Cons:
I agree with some of the other reviews here that getting revision requests can be a pain, especially when the timing is off and the fact that you get fined for them. I've run into a few seemingly unreasonable clients that made me want to pull all my hair out. Sometimes, you can apply for a case and not get it due to reasons that you're not privy to.

Overall, it's a good site with good people. I cannot say that I'm completely satisfied with all of their policies so I have learned to make the best of the things I do not agree with and that I have no control over. It's not a perfect service yet it is good enough to get me to come back again and again over the years.

A well-known, UK-based, writing company recently closed down. After a few months, writers of this old company received an email titled "Good news!", our company has been taken over by another company known as Writerbay and our writers can expressly apply to this new company to become their writers. Writers like myself were excited about this news. Alas, I wish I never switched over because it was more like "bad news". My journey with them has been the worst experience with any writing company since I became a writer 8 years ago. Writerbay UK is a sham, they only assign orders to their special writers! Do not bother applying because you will never get orders, and if you do get orders, you do not get paid! Do you know the company you took over from, do you know how well they treated their writers? Writerbay is not even 10% as good as the previous company. The old company would give orders fairly to everyone, ensure everyone gets some work. It's been 4 months since I moved over to Writerbay and all you do is bid without getting a single job. What a waste of my time. There are more reliable writing sites out there, please try them out like I did. I plan to close my account with this impractical company!

We can assure you that we don’t have any personal preferences in the course of distributing the workload among our writers. Furthermore, some of the managers and support agents of your former company moved to WriterBay as well, and they are the ones who actually assign and check the projects.
We do understand your concerns and frustration, Chris. The systems of WriterBay and your former company differ in some aspects (e.g. We provide our writers with the possibility to have their own account, keep track of the orders assigned, select the orders they would like to complete, track the payments for the completed ones etc). Transfer from one type of service to another is not an easy one and we are always ready to support and assist our new writers. Our Management Team is always available via Help Desk - please don't forget about that as we're always trying to be there for you and other writers.
We truly regret to hear that you haven't had any orders with us for a while as we do struggle with finding professionals for specific orders.
Our company is constantly striving to improve and provide our writers with everything they need. We do appreciate timely feedback as only this way we will be able to be the best company for our employees. Please contact us via manager@writerbay.com or Help Desk, so we could provide you with a suitable option.
Will be looking forward to hearing from you, Chris!
