Introduction

As an online freelance academic writer in Kenya, I know it is important to have a reliable source of work to build a successful career. One option for finding work is through online writing accounts, which can provide consistent and reliable opportunities. However, it can be challenging to find the right account.

To assist with this process, it is helpful to understand the two main types of accounts available: take and bid. By understanding the differences between these systems and seeing examples of each, you can decide which type of account is the best fit for you.

Take Online Writing Accounts

Under the take system, orders are made available for writers to claim immediately by clicking the “take” button. The order is assigned to the writer who is the quickest to “take” it. This system typically values speed over other factors.

Most take accounts tend to have levels that define such parameters to manage or limit how much work a writer can have. The higher the level, the more work an account can have at a time.

Examples of “take” online writing accounts include:

• Academia Research
• Livingston Research
• Uvocorp
• Quality Writers/ Prowriters
• Writershub
• Simpetense

It’s worth noting that some accounts combine both take and bid features, especially when the workflow is slow, or an order requires specialized attention. In such cases, support might reserve the order and assign it to a suitable writer.

Bid Online Writing Accounts

Bid accounts operate differently. Here, writers place bids on available orders and wait to be assigned based on factors like their statistics and history. Established writers with strong statistics often have an advantage.

Unlike take accounts, most bid accounts don’t limit the number of orders you can handle at once, though there are exceptions.

There are two main ways orders are assigned under the bid system:

A. Support or System-Assigned Work

In this method, after writers place their bids, the system or support assigns orders based on criteria such as bid price (if applicable), disciplines, and writer statistics.

Examples of bid accounts that work this way include:

• TSM Group
• Writerbay
• Writerslabs/ Prowriterstime
• Writedom
• Writezillas
• Nerdy Turtlez

B. Clients-Assigned Work

In this method, clients review bids and choose the writer they feel is best qualified. Clients may chat with writers to negotiate terms and assess their competence before making a decision. This system encourages interaction between clients and writers, with top-rated writers often being selected based on their statistics.

Examples of bid accounts that use this method include:

• Essaypro
• Edusson
• Essayshark
• Studypool
• Studybay
• Unemployed Professors

Conclusion

Both take and bid accounts have their distinct processes, and the best choice depends on your personal preferences and work ethic. Your success as a freelance writer ultimately depends on understanding your strengths and aligning them with the right account.

In summary, know yourself and choose wisely!
