Payment rates for writing jobs

Academic Knowledge is one of the UK’s leading research companies. Each year we help thousands of people successfully complete all types of research and writing projects. Whilst the majority of these are students, we also have an increased number of clients looking for private research, marketing copy and other resources such as lesson plans. Right now we are looking to take on people from all backgrounds and we provide a fully confidential service, never disclosing your personal information to our clients.

The industry we work in is seasonal since the majority of our clients are students. Consequently, we are always looking for new researchers to help us cater for the busiest periods. Traditionally, these follow the academic terms with busy peaks around Christmas and Easter when there is plenty of work being assigned to students heading home for their holidays. Often, students struggle to know where to start and don’t understand what is expected of them; that’s where Academic Knowledge come in to help them with model answers, perfect for guiding them in writing their own work.

Our current regular payment rates for writers vary dependent upon the following:

  • The level of the work (Undergraduate, Masters, PHD etc).
  • The grade of the work ordered (2:2, 2:1, 1st class etc).
  • The length of the work; our pricing structure is set per 250 words.
  • The length of the amendment period that the client requires (this is where they can contact us if they feel their original requirements haven’t been met).
  • The guarantees the service offers (we offer an elite service with additional guarantees).

Note: These fees lower slightly with orders over 5000

Right now, as of March 2013, the fees are as follows based on standard 5 day delivery orders:

The above prices do fluctuate depending the nature of the order (we ask researchers to quote manually for orders that can’t be quantified by a word count, such as IT-related tasks, mathematical-based orders etc.), but they do provide a good representation of the level of pay you can expect to receive from Academic Knowledge. Brief fees sometimes double or even triple if the client has an exceptionally short deadline. A dedicated researcher completing 6,000 words a day can earn an amazing £258 a day if completing 2:1 level work!

Academic Knowledge does not in any way condone plagiarism by students and educates clients on the proper use of the model answers that are provided to them. With over 1,000 active researchers at any one time and over 5,000 researchers on our books, you can have faith that the service we provide for students is a genuine one to assist them in completing their own work; we wouldn’t have nearly as many people who are happy to associate themselves with the company otherwise.

Should you wish to apply for another job, we are also happy to provide a reference if you have completed work with us consistently for an adequate time period. Starting your career with Academic Knowledge is a great way to show potential employers that you have up-to-date subject knowledge, can perform to deadlines under time pressures and can communicate in a professional manner. Should you struggle at all, our dedicated Researcher Relations team are happy to help you; simply give us a call during office hours or send us a message via your control panel.

If you have any questions about our current rates of pay, then please let us know. We keep a close eye on our competitors and receive feedback on a regular basis from our researchers to ensure that we pay you the best rates in the industry. If you find better, let us know, as we are confident the rates we offer are almost impossible to beat.
