As part of a large entity within the academic writing industry, Edusson has established itself as a reliable player in the market, operating for over a decade. With affiliates such as Edubirdie, Writing Creek, Papers Owl, and Grade Fixers, Edusson has built a reputation for providing a stable platform for writers. But with so many options available, the question remains – is Edusson the best alternative in the writing industry currently? In this review, we will explore the company’s offerings and determine if it lives up to its reputation as a top choice for freelance writers.

How the Account Works

Edusson and its affiliates operate as a client-assign bid account, where clients post work and writers place bids. The system distributes posted orders to different writers based on factors such as subject ratings, writer ranking, current account available orders access rate, urgency of the order, number of pages, and the client’s preferred service level (i.e all levels, gold, or platinum, which allows the customer to choose from the best rated writers for an additional fee).

In addition to manual bidding, Edusson has a feature called “Force Assign,” which automatically places bids for writers. Orders with auto-placed bids are highlighted to the client and recommended as the top choices. Only a few writers are recommended per order, increasing the likelihood of the client choosing a recommended writer. Force Assign is available for intermediate, advanced, and expert writers and is based on the writer’s account performance, such as completing multiple orders with good ratings in a specific subject. To increase the chance of being recommended for specific subject orders, writers should complete multiple orders and receive good ratings in those subjects. However, reassignment and cancellations can negatively impact a writer’s account performance and likelihood of being recommended in the future.

 

Levels and Ranking System

Edusson has 4 levels of accounts for its writers: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert. The level of the account determines the amount of work that a writer can take up, the CPPs they receive, and the level of access they have to different types of orders. Here’s a breakdown of each level:

1. Beginner: This level is for new writers who have not yet completed 5-10 orders. At this level, writers have access to frozen orders of fewer pages and are not eligible for the force assign option. The number of orders in progress at a time is limited, but it is easy to get orders.

2. Intermediate: Writers who have completed between 10-50 orders move to this level. The amount of work and CPPs are increased compared to the beginner level.

3. Advanced: Writers who have completed 50-100 orders become advanced writers. They have access to a greater number of orders and receive higher CPPs.

4. Expert: This level is for writers who have completed more than 100 orders. They have access to the largest number of orders, receive the highest CPPs, and can take up more work than the previous levels.

In addition to these levels, Edusson has a Group category for writers who work with teams of writers. The Group accounts have the capability to handle a higher workload compared to individual accounts, and they receive additional benefits as well. A writer can be eligible to join a Group after reaching the Expert level and showcasing a proven track record of completing a high volume of orders with exceptional quality and no client complaints. These groups are closely monitored by editors who regularly evaluate the quality of their work to ensure that it remains at a high level, as working with teams can have varying levels of success. Joining a Group will increase your access rate, and therefore, your earning potential, but it will also increase the level of scrutiny you face at the company.

Besides the number of orders completed, Edusson uses various criteria to rank its writer’s accounts, such as the rating received for each order, the number of reassigned and cancelled orders, and overall performance in terms of quality and consistency. These factors are used to ensure that clients receive the best service possible and that writers are rewarded for their hard work and expertise.

 

Workflow and Competition for Work

The workflow at Edusson remains fairly stable throughout the year, with only slight fluctuations occurring during the off-peak months of January/February and July/August. However, with a well-maintained account that is highly rated and has a clean history, it is possible to maintain a steady flow of work throughout the year. The order distribution system at Edusson can be complex and can be discriminatory if one is not careful. Factors such as cancellations, reassignments, negative reviews, and poor ratings can greatly impact the number of orders one can access.

To maintain a high ranking and access to more orders, it is crucial for new accounts to focus on delivering quality work, attracting returning customers, and receiving positive reviews and ratings. While competition for work can be intense, individuals with clean accounts stand a better chance of being recommended to clients and assigned work. On the other hand, accounts with quality issues, low activity rates, and poor ratings face greater challenges in securing assignments. It is important to maintain a high level of quality and a clean account history to succeed in the competitive environment at Edusson.

     

Compensation (CPP) and Payment

At Edusson, writers have control over their earnings for each order as they set their own bid amount based on their understanding of the order requirements. However, Edusson has established minimum bid recommendations for writers to consider when bidding on orders. The recommended minimum bid, known as the CPP, can vary based on the urgency of the order, bidding time as well as the writer’s level. 

All Edusson accounts have a minimum recommended CPP of $4. The minimum bidding price for orders varies by account level, with Expert level accounts having a higher minimum bidding price compared to other levels. For instance, Expert accounts have a minimum CPP of $4 for orders with long deadlines and a minimum bidding price of $11 per page for orders with shorter deadlines. In contrast, Advanced accounts have a minimum bidding price of $9.5 for orders with a short deadline. The minimum bidding price increases with each account level.

Additionally, the minimum bidding price changes according to the time of day, with lower bidding prices between 7 am and 12:59 pm compared to 1 am to 6:59 am. For example, an order with a 4-hour deadline will have a minimum bid of $11 in Expert accounts, $9.5 in Advanced accounts, $7.5 in Intermediate accounts, and $6.5 in Beginner accounts between 1 am to 6:59 am. The bidding price of a similar order will decrease to $9.5, $8.5, $6.5, and $5.5 respectively in the same accounts between 7 am and 12:59 pm.

Payments are made twice a month through Payoneer.

Support and Quality

At Edusson, quality assurance is primarily based on customer feedback, without direct intervention from the company to review the orders before they are presented to clients. Nevertheless, quality is of utmost importance and closely monitored by the support team. They frequently evaluate the papers submitted by writers and impose fines for any instances of lateness or poor quality. In the case of a refund request, the writer’s account may be subject to investigation. Despite the stringent approach to quality and deadlines, the support team is reliable in resolving any issues faced by both clients and writers, striving to find a mutually beneficial solution.   Account managers play a crucial role in monitoring the performance of writers. For new accounts, they perform thorough reviews to ensure the quality of work meets Edusson’s standards. If the quality is found to be subpar, the account may be recommended for termination. In addition, the managers review writers’ accounts during promotion stages, determining if a promotion, demotion, or termination is necessary based on their performance.
 

Overall though, the support team at Edusson is reliable and dedicated to helping resolve any issues that may arise, such as reassignment of orders, guiding clients on how to post orders, and helping clients find the best writers. They even offer live support and can sometimes recommend a specific writer to a client, who will then get in touch with the writer to ask them to review and place a bid on the order.

Growth and Earning Potential

At Edusson, growth opportunities are abundant and attainable. With a clear path from Beginner to Expert level, writers can progress and enhance their skills with the right effort and performance. Edusson is a highly recommended platform, especially when compared to other platforms where clients directly assign work to writers. In these systems, it can be challenging to convince clients to assign work to new accounts or accounts with poor statistics/ history, leading to an imbalance in work distribution. However, the Edusson system helps to balance this by recommending new accounts and setting limits on the amount of work one can have at a time for all levels. Edusson provides a supportive and fair environment for writers to grow and succeed in their careers.   The earning potential of an Edusson account is largely determined by two factors: level and order access rate. The level system dictates how much an account can charge for an order, with higher levels allowing for higher bidding prices. The order access rate, which is based on performance and account cleanliness, determines the number of orders that can be accepted at any given time. Clean accounts tend to have a higher order access rate, which allows for more orders in progress. As a result, clean expert-level accounts have the potential to earn significantly more compared to lower-level accounts. On average, expert-level accounts can earn between $1500 to $2000 a month, while advanced-level accounts can earn between $700 to $1500, depending on the effort put in. Clean beginner and intermediate-level accounts that are on a growth trajectory can earn around $500 a month. However, accounts with a history of quality issues and demotion may struggle to secure orders and earn substantial income.   Investing in an Edusson account can yield impressive returns on investment (ROI) in a relatively short period of time. On average, the break-even point is usually achieved within 3 to 4 months, but with a strong work ethic and consistent workflow, it’s possible to reach this goal even quicker. This is proven by several new accounts that have already completed more than 50 orders in less than a month, proving that success is achievable with effort and dedication. Edusson therefore provides excellent growth opportunities and is highly recommended for anyone looking to achieve financial success in a short span of time.      

Account Stability

The stability of Edusson as a platform for writers is considered to be good. While it is a well-established platform, writers’ accounts can be terminated for a variety of reasons, including recurring issues such as plagiarism, poor-quality work, or policy violations. However, it is important to note that even minor infractions such as ignoring calls or logging into more than one account on the same device can lead to termination.    Edusson has a long-standing reputation for stability, but recently they have implemented stricter measures to encourage writers to enhance their performance. This has involved conducting evaluations and checks of past papers and mass closures of accounts that did not meet the required quality standards. This shift in policy highlights the importance of producing high-quality work and adhering to the platform’s guidelines in order to maintain a stable account.      

How Much is an Edusson Account?

It is important to note that the cost of Edusson accounts can fluctuate and is not always static. This is due to various factors such as market demand and supply, company policy changes, current events and actions within the company, and more. In recent months, for example, prices of brand-new Edusson accounts have changed, with prices dropping in late December after a mass closure of accounts at the company and a sudden influx of new accounts, but increasing again as supply dried up.  

Currently, the estimated prices for new Edusson accounts range from 100k to 140k, while used clean accounts at intermediate and advanced levels range from 120k to 150k. Clean expert accounts cost between 140k and 200k, and group accounts typically trade above 200k. Although there may be cheaper alternatives, they often have quality issues or are inactive, reducing their chances of getting assigned orders and earning well.
