HireWriters

I have been writing for hirewriters occasionally for the past several months. I haven't had any issues with payment and my work usually gets approved, although admittedly the clients don't seem to have any idea what they're actually asking of writers. Most of the time you're dealing with people who list their projects at $2-$5 for 700 words (which is already way below market price) and then open their projects to read through the details and they actually want 1500 words and an absurd amount of research and effort. Bottom line is, don't expect people to write your content if you aren't willing to pay for it. It's honestly insulting.
If the pay were better, this site wouldn't be half bad. There are some interesting articles listed on the job board on any given day. Brandon and Ruby Dale (the owners) need to raise the asking prices or lose their good writers. I guess they don't care what we're making because they don't actually have to do anything to get paid. They just sit back and take a percentage of our wages. I would say, "Must be nice," but if I did what they do, it would weigh on my conscience.

I've been writing for HireWriters for years. Lately, it seems that their clients are mainly shady and have found a way to beat the system, essentially STEALING your work while refusing to pay. I recently wrote an amazing article. Did my research, went above and beyond and completed the task assigned, even though it was clear from the poorly written instructions that the client doesn't speak English.

I wrote the article. It passed copyscape (which checks work to ensure that it is original and not plagiarizes) and submitted it to the client.

Once I submitted the article for the client to read and review, the client requested a mutual cancellation without payment. I sent the client a message saying that I would be happy to make any revisions to my work to suit their style. When they didn't get back to me, I attempted to submit my original piece again.

HOWEVER, the second time I went to submit my ORIGINAL work, it did not pass the copyscape test. I had changed absolutely nothing about the piece.

The client had already posted my work online and then canceled the job request. They stole my work without paying me for it. I attempted 5+ times to contact HireWriters to make them aware of this and never received any sort of reply back whatsoever. I'm disgusted by this business practice. My work was stolen.

I have been writing for the company for the past three years. Everything has been okay - though I was not working a lot since I had other gigs to work on. During this quarantine period, I decided to work full-time. Since I'm an expert writer and my quality is good, I attracted several customers who were paying highly. By Friday, I had managed to get $355 approved, and some eight more articles were pending. When I tried to log into the account, I saw the "account frozen" alert. When I contacted their support team, I was given four reasons why my account was disabled. I confirmed to them that I'm a top writer, and there is no way I could have violated the reasons they gave.
The following day (on Saturday), they reopened my account, but then I noticed the amount I expected as payment was missing from the account (you can see the attached screenshot). Since then (all week long) I have tried to contact them, but they have blatantly ignored all the messages I have sent them demanding that they pay me. So today I again wrote them a message demanding that they pay me. A few minutes ago, they again suspended my account.

Having read other people's experiences, and through my experience, I can conclude the following:

1. Brandon (the owner of hirewriters) and Ruby Dale (the support expert) are teaming up to steal from innocent writers. Can you believe there is someone is the world who will fail to pay a writer for more than 30 approved articles? But hirewriters will fail to pay your money and ignore your messages.
2. Hirewriters target to steal from top earning writers - If you do not write a lot of articles or you do not earn much on their platform, you are safe. They disabled my account when I worked a lot and earned much, I never experienced such when I was not making much. Who in this world can steal and close a writing account of a writer who has more than five clients who send special requests?
3. Each week hirewriters closes accounts randomly to steal from their writers. Several writers have complained about this. It could have been a different case if they were closing the accounts and paying for what the client has paid the writer.
4. Clients on the hirewriters platform are not safe - If a writer does not meet the requirements of the client, and the client decides to withdraw cash from the platform, hirewriters will not make the refund. They will ignore all the messages, and you will be forced to dispute through PayPal to get your money refunded.

No matter how good hirewriters seem to you, whether as a writer or a client, they will finally steal from you. They know writers are desperate, and if they steal from one, they will have another joining the platform the next minute. You can find great clients on other platforms or risk working for this group of cheats called hirewriters who will stop at nothing than to steal your cash.

Please just run don't pay the 400 kes go to other sites but not hire writers it's not legit service. Please RUN RUUUN

Stay away from here if you rely on the money that you get from writing to support yourself in any way. They don't pay on time, and they may lock you out of your account and accuse you of fraud, too. I haven't even been on there two weeks, and I got locked out with no clue as to why they did it. I had a rating of 4.86 stars from about 20 satisfied clients. These people locked me out and didn't even have the decency to give me a good answer about why they did it. They said something about anti-fraud measures, but I don't understand how fraud could occur when I was just writing articles and selling them to the customers. What fraud?

Several writers have been locked out of their accounts and accused of various false violations. Look around at their other reviews. You'll see this complain time and time again.

I think the lockout thing is a scam that they do so they can keep your money and attempt to justify it by saying that you violated something. I've written for many mills, and this was by far the most dishonest and unprofessional one. Most of the clients were cool, but the business was horrible. Write for them only if you enjoy not knowing whether you'll get paid or not and whether you'll be "allowed" to write the next day.

Update 3/13/17- Went back and forth with "Brandon" about the issues that they had with my account. His excuse for locking people out of their accounts made no sense whatsoever. I wrote a few articles for them for another week because they had some pretty cool clients on there. I didn't get paid on Friday (3/10/17) like I was supposed to. I'm still trying to collect $29 from them for my work. That is really sad. If they'll do this to a struggling person with $29, I feel sorry for people who have written hundreds of dollars worth of material for them and haven't gotten paid. Thank goodness I was smart enough not to write that much. It's very sad that human beings have to do other human beings this way. There isn't much I can do except struggle through the week and digest this valuable lesson. Ugliness will come back at them at some point. Maybe some people had no problems with them, but I certainly did. This isn't my first content mill, but it's the first one that ever locked me out of my account, accused me of nonsense, and kept my money. What the Sam hell is wrong with these people?

Update 3/13/17- I requested the money that they owed me for writing articles again, and Brandon answered and said that I didn't get paid because my account was fraudulent again. He asked me to send him another picture of my myself holding my license, which I already sent him once. The bottom line is that thieves own this company. If you're wondering whether you should write for them, the answer is no. Don't write unless you like doing free work. If you do write for them, you will eventually come across a time when you don't get paid. You have been warned. These people will burn in hell for what they are doing. Don't even bother with them.
