I've been a writer for writerbay for two years. It is a great way to make money even in slower seasons work is available. I enjoy learning new things and improving on my writing. I have learned with time to stay in control. I don't accept orders unless I have all the information I need to do the paper. If you pick up a paper and the client doesn't give you information on it, you are still responsible and if you try to get out of doing the paper because of it, you can be fined. I've had clients not even respond to my request for documents and the order stayed in clarification pending days after the deadline then the client finally responds with a one word response without the needed documents and the clock starts ticking in the middle of the night. I pick up one order at a time and pace myself. Clients change deadlines when you are already working on other deadlines. I can't say I recommend depending on them full-time because it can get frustrating. You are an on call writer (24-7). It doesn't matter what you are doing or if you are away from your computer. If the client or staff don't approve an extension on a revision you will lose money that you earned. I think it's unfair just because the pay is very low already. Clients can be really rude and it's not addressed by Writerbay. I just feel there is a low regard for the writers. It's no fun getting revision requests due in an hour when you are at the grocery store on a paper you turned in two weeks ago.

My advice to writers is to stay in control and make the best of the opportunity by focusing on quality over quantity. Be careful about picking up so many papers at once to make more money. You can overlook papers that don't have the information you need or clients that don't respond that make the opportunity more stressful.
