Hi, I'd like to share my story: I've been working with the Writerbay for about a year now. I don't do much writing, but do take orders from time to time. Actually, my beginning was not smooth as I did get a couple of fines at the beginning. Obviously, I felt discouraged and ready to leave but after several talks with their support agents, I decided to give it a go. I reread that paper that I got fined for low quality and to my surprise, it actually wasn't that perfect as I imagined in my head. This is what changed my mind and made me realize that it's not Writerbay responsible for my fails but I am. I made mistakes, I should learn from them.
Thats all I wanted to say.
Sitara, that you for sharing your experience! We appreciate your understanding and count on many years of fruitful cooperation.
You can always reach us via Help Desk or via manager@writerbay.com in case of any concerns.
We wish you a wonderful day!
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.
Thank you for positive feedback, Stephen! We appreciate that you like our bot as we are always trying to improve our website and make it as useful as possible.
You're always welcome to provide your suggestions on how to make it even better via Help Desk or via manager@writerbay.com.
Have a lovely day!
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.
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.
We wish you a great day!
I like that you can work on writerbay at your own pace. Even though, there are some misunderstandings from time to time, managers look into each case and clarify all the matters. In terms of pay, I have been highly satisfied. If you specialize in a specific area, you are likely to be valued. Good luck!
Thank you for the review, Nat! Our managers always make sure that the writers are treated fairly and receive proper assistance. We're very glad that you like staying with us.
Happy holidays!
Ridiculous amount of work and pressure, unfair fines and behavior by management, highly disrespectful, unrealistic expectations, manipulation of salaries. Oh and they plant positive feedback
Stay away!'
Thank you for the review, Jackie. We are definitely sorry to hear about your experience with our service and would appreciate if you shared more with us via manager@writerbay.com.
We pay extreme attention to the quality of assistance that is provided to our writers and would like to know what caused such a negative feedback. Our managers on Help Desk are always ready to discuss any issues our writers face and strive do to all possible to prevent such issues from arising again.
The positive feedbacks are left by real people who do like working with our service. Our company does not encourage fake reviews.
Jackie, we will be more than glad to find out more details from your side on the matter. Looking forward to hearing from you.
I signed up with Writerbay around 7 years ago. One of the things that made me stay is the fact that they mostly treated me with respect. There were some isolated cases of snafus but they're few and far between compared to the benefits I've received from them.
Overall, it's a good idea to work with them. They're not perfect yet they don't have to be. Looking forward to working with them some more.
Thank you for sharing your experience, David. We are glad to know that you appreciate the work of our team as we’re doing our best to make our service as comfortable as it is possible.
Looking forward to many more years of mutually beneficial cooperation!
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!
Thank you so much for sharing such a positive review on our service! We highly appreciate your hard work and are extremely lucky to have you in our team.
Have a wonderful day!
Unfortunately, I became a victim of this company. They gathered two photos of my educational certificate and just reject my application. Besides, they refuse giving me the exact reasons of such situation. So, guys, do not believe them. I have found many posts about this company. Writerbay smells fishy. Contact me, if you are also their victim. I hope this company will be closed soon. Besides, we are going to make a claim to US police department regarding their activity.
Thank you for the feedback. We ask the proof of earned degree from our applicants - it is a common practice among the services that care about the quality of the product provided. We have high standards and can not accept applicants who might not meet them, unfortunately.
Still, if any questions remain, you can contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
We wish you all the best.
They should be transparent on reasons for denial. They only give very general feedback and many of my African friends have been denied with the same vague reasons. This complaint has been made by numerous people yet the discrimination continues.
Thank you for the feedback. We would like to inform you that there is absolutely no reason for us to decline applications based on country of origin/residence of an applicant.
There are certain requirements we have, and each writer must possess minimum Bachelor's degree and have excellent writing skills. Some writers, whose applications were declined, are constantly trying to soil our reputation; however, a lot of skilled and professional writers do join our team and help us to increase our writing standards.
Still, we are always ready to extend the comments if the ones provided are not enough for you; for this information you are welcome to contact us via manager@writerbay.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.
WB is one of the best online writing sites. I have been working with them since last 6 years. Plenty of orders good salary very good assistance from support team.
We appreciate you leaving a review about your positive experience with our company. We're glad that you're liking it here.
Thank you for being an integral part of our team!
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.
Thank you for a positive review, Joe. We have taken your comments into account as we are constantly striving to improve the level of our service to make sure our writers are properly assisted.
Have a lovely day!
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
Thank you for sharing your feedback on us! We appreciate your work and count for many years of mutual cooperation.
We wish you all the best!
I am a writer for WriterBay and I would others out there to know what goes on behind the scenes here... So over this last month, which has been the dry season, I have spent a lot of time trying to get files and getting them done. But here is the best part. WriterBay has this amazing support team that you out there do not know exists. Without this team, I could not produce the high quality papers I do, even though I am good at it, because I need their input, consideration in helping me with time, finding me jobs when the pot is slim, and well they make me laugh. They work with me through the night and when I am ready to pull my hair out with something that is driving me crazy, well they are there for me. They have to be the link between the writer who is trying to give you, the client, exactly what you want, while trying to figure out from the client what they want. They are mini therapists. So when you are talking to them know that they care and they are good at their jobs. Give them a thumbs up will you please. I myself... am sending them hugs.
Dear Katherine, thank you for such a great feedback! It encourages our team to be better and do all possible to assist our writers with the highest quality.
We appreciate you being a part of our team!
Nice, you didn't even have a clear answer to my specific issues but very general!
There is a magic feature in web developing which is called form validation.
Meanwhile I tried to sign up again AFTER getting rejection. How the action which is done after rejecting can be the reason of that?!
Don't care anymore and don't want to remember my terrible and disaster experience I had with your unplanned and unmanaged work flows.
Thank you for getting back, Negin. As per our records, your account was already linked to the details of the several profiles that already existed on our website which is direct violation of the Clause 3. 2. 11. “Use only one username with the correct and up to date personal information. Working under multiple or fake Accounts (user names) is strictly prohibited.”
Feel free to contact us at manager@writerbay.com in case of any questions.
We wish you all the best
Ajeltake Road 1, Ajeltake Island Majuro, Marshall Islands, oh I thought you were in London... Or is it NJ as your IP said. Almost got me, good thing I looked into this before I signed on.
Thank you for leaving a comment, Nick. Our official address is available in Contact Us section on the website, however our support team is located in London. We do not hide this information from our writers.
In case you still have questions or concerns on the matter, you’re always welcome to contact us at manager@writerbay.com.
Have a nice day.
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.
Over my freelance career, I've worked on many platforms such as Writezillas, Uvocorp, Academia Research and others. Safe to say, I haven't logged in to those in years now, but go to WriterBay every day. There are certainly some drawbacks to the WriterBay system, but trust me, those are absolutely forgivable in the light of the perks you get. I have never in my 4 year membership with them been treated unfairly by the support team. They always resolved any misunderstandings I had with the clients in a polite and timely manner. I have never seen a monthly payment be delayed. I have never experienced any shortage in assigned orders, not even during low seasons. I trust this platform and I am proud to say that I am a PRO writer with hundreds of approved orders and positive feedback and would recommended WriterBay to any academic freelancer who is looking for a steady and trustworthy income.
We appreciate you taking your time to share such a positive experience with our company. We’re thrilled to have you in our team and sincerely hope that our cooperation will last for years.
Have a wonderful day ahead!
Support staff was very nice, but I can't continue working there. The interface is full of technical errors that made it look like all of my submissions were late. In some cases, the lateness was due to the admin not reading my messages - revision requests were copied and pasted to me after I already made edits, as if I didn't do anything. Also, as someone living in the U.S., the payment is really low. CPP for most orders is like $5, so the only ones worth it are the urgent ones. Even the urgent ones will only bring the CPP up to an acceptable price.
Hundreds of orders are available, which is a plus, but the automated interface really makes the site impossible to work for. It may make sense to be a writer if you're from a non-English speaking country, but that is ironic given that the work is in English.
Thank you for the review on our service, Cheryl. The system can be slightly confusing for a new writer; however, we provide personal mentors and system guidelines for you to know how everything works.
We would like to get to know more about the issue you have encountered and make sure you’re treated fairly. Please, share it with us at manager@writerbay.com or contact us via Help Desk.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.
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!
Thank you for leaving such a positive review on our service, Faiza! We are more than glad to have you in our team.
