“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

I think that writerweb.org is another affiliate of writerbay, as they have the same method, conditions & requirements. Take care

Thank you for the comment. We would like to bring clarity into the matter: Writerweb.org has no relation to Writerbay.org and is not our affiliate.
Unfortunately, we can not prevent someone from creating a similar website with almost identical information.
That is why we are asking you to be extremely attentive with such websites and refrain from providing them with your personal information.

We wish you a lovely day.

This company claims to have a competitive work environment. It's more like aggressive and hostile. It is really difficult to make any money there.

I actually know a lot of writers there, and they all say the same things, so when the writerbay representative answers this to defend the company, just keep in mind that so many of their writers feel this way, they are bleeding money every day instead of remaining profitable... and allowing their writers to remain profitable too. A writerbay rep will most likely respond to this with something like, we have hundreds of orders every day, our top writers make thousands of dollars, blah blah blah. It's all just a bunch of hogwash. That might be the truth for the handful of writers that they favor, but the rest of us have to fight to get orders.

Really, the problem is in the QA dept. who is in charge of assigning orders. They bottleneck all of the orders and then only assign one out of every ten or twenty you apply to. The only explanation I can think of is that they have a lot of fake orders rolling around to make them look really busy. Those orders drop off after sitting in the cue for a little while. I believe that their writer earnings are fake too... no ONE human being can make 5,000 a month unless they write at least 20 pages a day at $20 a page, and believe me, unless they have a special cue for a handful of writers, getting an order for 20$ per page is like seeing a unicorn in a rainbow. Plus, when there are orders for this amount, usually, the task is really impossible unless you have a paper that is prewritten and you can type 120 words a minute. I wish! I have friends who can do it, but when they do, they can't do it grammatically correctly either.

Many of us are leaving. It's too late now. We need to actually work for a company that allows us to make money. Your representative's attempt to CYA is not going to convince the rest of the world that your company does not have a real business that offers writers real money.

Dear Jessica, thank you so much for your feedback! Be sure, such reviews help us to improve our services. Jessica, let us build a constructive dialogue here, be it for the public, or in a private messaging.
‘They all say the same things’ - that is actually about a human psychology. Please check the reviews for any popular company and you will see that the majority of comments are negative ones. Why is is so? Because:
1) the satisfied employees are usually too satisfied to leave any comments;
2) the competitors of the market tend to create their ‘sincere’ reviews.
Why am I so sure? I am constantly checking those people in our system and, of course, face difficulties in seeing their profiles at WriterBay. Please do not take it personally, as I am writing about a popular tendency.
Regarding ‘fake orders’. Yes, we do have orders in our system that at a particular moment of time cannot be given to anyone. Such orders can be put on hold due to the numerous reasons, such as ‘waiting for a book,’ and others. We cannot assign an order if something is not clarified with it.
Jessica, please indicate your profile ID in a private message to me, or in email to support@writerbay.com and let us once again clarify this situation.

I just started, but I'm looking for other work. Very disappointing staff. Very aggressive customer service team. They force you to work for free through bullying you around with fines and threats. They would rather chop off their own nose that work together with the writers. In addition, they claim to have all of this business, but the staff does not assign much to you. I woudn't bother with them. I think all of those orders and all of the top earners claiming to earn thousands of dollars per month are fake. I don't see how people can earn all of that money when the staff will not assign you orders. I think that's a lot of the problem. Instead of opening up the orders available to everyone, they keep all of the top orders for their pets, and then, they have auto-assign orders for everyone else. The reason why they put that on some of the orders is because it's all of the orders no one wants, so they hope the writers will feel desperate enough to take them. They run around bragging about their auto-assign orders as if it's the best invention ever, but you get on there, and they literally offer the coffee grounds, the swill at the bottom of the coffee pot. Horrible, really. They do not keep all of the orders out for everyone to see. They have top orders they assign their pets and that's it. No one else sees them or gets them. I actually know this as a fact according to what i learned and what I experienced. One of their aggressive staff members yelled that at me when he was telling me I'll never amount to anything in the company. This is why it is much better that you deal with this company as little as possible. They might be very polite, but you cannot trust any of them. They lie a lot, and then when you feel comfortable enough, they pull something. Like, they'll shorten your deadline or they'll add extra work on the order so they can charge you when you ask them to reassign it. No, much better if you dont' trust them at all. You're better off swimming around in a shark tank. Your chances of survival are better. Oh, and just to show you that they ARE liars, they keep claiming in the replies here that they are located in England. This is a fantasy. This is a communication I just received as to their true location:

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Abel.
Let me assure you that the information regarding the salaries published on the website corresponds to reality; hence, it proves that such a sum of money can be earned. We truly understand your concerns regarding the number of orders given to the new writers, as you might have planned to write more from the very beginning. However, we do care about the quality of the product. That is why, only after we check whether the first papers written by a new writer satisfy our requirements of quality, can we allow the writer take more projects.
The information regarding the aggressiveness of the Support Team is quite shocking, as we follow strict rules of business communication. Abel, we would like to discuss such instances with you and take the appropriate measures. To make it possible, please contact us via HelpDesk.
Have a wonderful time ahead!

Thank you for your review, Rash.
We are sorry to hear your experience with us was not pleasant.
As for the fines and allegations, we have the Fines policy stated in our Terms of Use and available for review right from the main page of our website. Any fine we impose is due to certain policy violation, and strictly corresponds to our Terms of Use. Our writers can also ask for detailed explanation of the imposed fines, and we will gladly update them on the matter. We never take our writers' hard-earned money away unreasonably. All matters are resolvable and can be addressed or explained.
Additionally, we are oriented towards high quality only and cannot cooperate with those who do not meet our Product Requirements stated, once again, in our Terms of Use.

We wish you the best of success, Rash.
Have a nice day!
