Introduction
Writerslabs and its affiliate, Prowriterstime, are some of the most popular midrange accounts in the Kenyan academic writing industry. The company has built a relatively strong reputation, with a significant number of writers making a decent living from it. However, in recent times, things have become more difficult, especially for new and Freshman-level writers, as there has been a reduction in workflow and job opportunities. Despite these challenges, Writerslabs/Prowriterstime remains in a strong position and is expected to continue growing for the foreseeable future. This article analyzes the pros and cons of the company to help interested writers determine whether the account makes sense for them.
Pros of Writerslabs/ Prowriterstime:
A. Good Workflow, Especially in High Season
The company offers a relatively good workflow when compared to other companies in the same price range. It excels during the high season but may struggle during the low season, particularly for Freshman-level accounts.
B. Good Earning Potential After Winning Support’s Trust
Writerslabs/Prowriterstime offers decent work opportunities, enabling diligent and hardworking writers to make consistent earnings. The earning potential grows significantly as the account grows, and the writer gains trust from support.
C. Good Cost Per Page (CPP)
Compared to other accounts in the same price range, Writerslabs/Prowriterstime generally pays well. Freshman-level writers are typically paid around $4 per page, with CPP increasing by $1 for every level up.
D. Good, Safe, Long-Term Investment
The accounts are relatively safe, with lower chances of termination, provided the writer delivers high-quality work. While poor quality can lead to account termination, the instances are fewer compared to other companies. The terminations are generally justified and, in most cases, avoidable.
E. Defined Path to Career Progression
Writerslabs/Prowriterstime has a well-defined growth path that writers can work toward, with the potential to improve both professionally and personally. Accounts are evaluated after every 100 orders, and writers who meet set criteria are promoted to the next level. Knowing the evaluations happen at specific intervals allows writers to plan and diligently work toward promotion.
F. Exponential Earning and Growth Potential
Though the journey to growing an account on Writerslabs/Prowriterstime may be long and challenging, it is worthwhile once the milestones are achieved. Higher-level accounts offer more consistent workflow and significantly better earnings, making it possible to live comfortably.
G. Relatively Well-Priced Accounts
Writerslabs/Prowriterstime accounts, while somewhat pricey, are well-priced for what they offer, especially when compared to other options in the same price range. Newly opened Freshman-level accounts cost between Ksh. 60,000 and Ksh. 90,000, while Junior-level accounts range from Ksh. 100,000 to Ksh. 150,000. Senior-level accounts can exceed Ksh. 200,000 for clean, well-used examples.
Cons of Writerslabs/ Prowriterstime:
A. Orders Checked by Editors
At Writerslabs/Prowriterstime, all orders are checked by editors before being submitted to clients. Editors may request writers to revise aspects of the paper, providing feedback to help writers improve. However, this process can be tedious for those who struggle with instructions, and poor writers may face account termination if editors deem their performance unsatisfactory. This is why the platform is best suited for high-quality writers who consistently deliver excellent work.
B. Challenging Path to Career Progression
Although Writerslabs/Prowriterstime offers a clear path to career growth, the journey is not without its difficulties. Some of the parameters for promotion are difficult to meet, and many writers fall short of the requirements. It’s not uncommon to find accounts that have completed hundreds of orders still stuck at the Freshman level.
C. Low Work Availability for Lower-Level Accounts During Low Season
While workflow is generally good, work distribution often favors higher-level writers during the low season, as they have proven their reliability over time. Freshman-level accounts may struggle to secure consistent work during this period, which makes growing these accounts more difficult. As a result, those interested in acquiring new accounts may want to wait until the high season to maximize their chances of getting work and growing their accounts.
D. Relatively Steep Learning Curve
Writerslabs/Prowriterstime is one of the more complex platforms to manage efficiently. Writers must bid on available orders and wait for orders to be “assigned” by support in the “confirmation pending” tab. Often, more than one writer is “assigned” the same order, and the fastest writer to take the order gets to work on it. This system, being both “Bid” and “Take,” can take some time to figure out. Additionally, using Telegram is necessary to stay competitive, and writers may need to run multiple devices or tabs to stay ahead of the competition.
Conclusion
Writerslabs/Prowriterstime offers a good balance between earning potential and workflow, particularly for experienced and diligent writers. While the platform has a clear path to career progression and offers competitive CPP, it comes with challenges such as a steep learning curve and limited work availability for lower-level accounts during the low season. For those willing to invest the time and effort, however, Writerslabs/Prowriterstime can be a solid long-term investment, providing significant rewards and opportunities for growth.
