An ESL Academic Writer? Get a Virtual Phone number

Over the past several years the number of custom writing services providers has greatly increased. Consequently, the number of academic writers has also increased. While some of the companies that provide essay writing services pay their writers well, some custom writing services companies pay their writers poorly. This is okay if one does not know how much exactly the companies charge their clients. However, if you are nosy enough and happen to dig and find out how much the client's one is writing for are charged, the first word that comes to one's mind is "exploitation". Yes, it is common for companies that offer college custom essay writing services to charge their clients $55 and pay their writers $5. When most of the writers realize how much they are netting the online essay writing companies, they often start to figure out how to work for clients directly.

Enhanced Online Image

The next step in such a case is to set up a website through which one can take orders. A search through essay writing forums reveals that there is great opposition towards the set up of custom writing businesses by people who are not native English speakers. In fact, it is not uncommon for some companies to go to great lengths to warn their clients against ordering custom written papers from websites that are not owned by people from US, UK, and Australia (English Speaking Countries). Armed with the conviction that he or she can offer custom writing services despite opposition from competitors from English speaking countries, some people set up websites to take orders.

Some well established companies warn their clients against custom writing services providers without UK, US or Australian phone numbers. This is where virtual phone numbers come in. Getting a local phone number for each of the countries can greatly boost one's online image. Those who know how the essay writing services industry is understand the importance of staying ahead of the game; it is a highly competitive multibillion dollar industry.

With a US virtual phone number or a UK virtual phone number, one can comfortably run a custom essay writing services from the comfort of their home in India, China, Africa, or any other place. The clients will think that you are located in the US or any other English speaking country. The clients will dial a phone number that is local to them and you will pick the call from any part of the world. What's more? You can subscribe for toll free virtual phone numbers and display them on your website. This would boost the clients' perception of your writing company.

Earning What you Deserve

Apart from starting a custom writing company, policies that discriminate against ESLs have made many people to fake their identities online. For example, some writing companies pay ENL writers better than ESL writers despite their writing abilities being similar and at times ESLs being better writers than ENLs. While some people argue that such discriminatory practices are  essential due to differing exchange rates and standards of living, they are demotivating. As part of faking one's identity one can get a virtual phone number from an English speaking country such as US, UK, and Australia.

That said, I believe one should only opt for this option if one is sure of delivering quality custom writing services. Academic writing is very demanding and the students seek academic assistance mainly because they want a high grade. This means that you should be able to deliver. A virtual phone number will not help if your writing skills are poor.
