Introduction
Edusson is one of the most popular academic writing platforms in Kenya, along with its affiliates like Writing Creek. Known for its consistent workflow and earning potential, Edusson is a go-to choice for many academic writers. Despite some drawbacks, it remains one of the leading platforms in the industry today.
Pros of Edusson:
A. Good Workflow Throughout the Year
Edusson offers a reliable flow of work, even during low seasons. This ensures that writers have consistent opportunities to earn, making it a dependable source of income year-round.
B. Great Work Distribution Model
Edusson’s unique work distribution system combines elements from both the take account and bid account models. This hybrid system is designed to ensure fairness among writers by providing different levels of access to orders based on experience and performance. Unlike other platforms where a few top writers dominate, Edusson’s algorithm allows even new writers to secure work. Additionally, the system limits the number of active orders a writer can have, ensuring that top writers must complete their tasks before accessing more, thereby leveling the playing field.
Another advantage of Edusson’s model is the reduced competition for each order. Typically, fewer than 15 bids are placed on an order, giving writers a better chance of being selected. This contrasts sharply with other platforms where writers may face hundreds of competitors, forcing them to lower their bids to win orders.
C. Customer-Feedback Oriented
Edusson’s system is heavily reliant on customer feedback rather than strict quality checks. This makes it easier for writers to collaborate in teams and manage varying quality levels. The flexibility allows for more creativity and experimentation in how tasks are handled.
D. Relatively Easy to Grow
The combination of a good workflow and a fair work distribution model makes it easier for writers to grow within the company. A dedicated and high-performing writer can progress from Beginner to Expert level in less than two months, especially if they consistently deliver high-quality work.
E. Good Investment with High ROI
While Edusson accounts can be expensive to acquire, they are among the best investments under Ksh. 200, 000 in Kenya today. With diligent work and good timing, a writer can break even in one to three months. High-season purchases typically offer quicker returns on investment.
F. Good Cost Per Page (CPP)
Due to the reduced competition, writers on Edusson tend to place higher bids compared to similar platforms like Essaypro and Studypool. Median bids usually exceed $4 per page for longer deadlines and $7 per page for urgent orders, making it a lucrative option.
G. Direct Client Collaboration
Edusson’s platform allows for direct communication between clients and writers, facilitating the negotiation of prices, discussion of order instructions, and the potential to build long-term working relationships. This setup also increases the chance of securing direct clients.
H. Set Your Price for Orders
Edusson gives writers the freedom to set their prices for orders, allowing them to control their income and growth potential. This flexibility can be particularly advantageous for experienced writers who know how to price their services effectively.
I. Readily Available Support
Despite the emphasis on direct client interaction, Edusson provides 24/7 support to assist writers with any issues they may encounter, whether related to orders, clients, or general platform usage.
J. Good Opportunities for Long-Term Growth
Edusson has a well-defined growth path, with clear milestones that writers can work towards. Beyond the standard levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert), top-tier writers with excellent statistics can manage group accounts. Group accounts offer enhanced support and access to more orders, enabling writers to handle larger workloads and significantly increase their earnings.
Cons of Edusson:
A. Limits on Active Orders
Edusson imposes limits on the number of orders writers can have in progress at any given time. Once these limits are reached, a writer’s access to new orders is completely restricted. This can limit a writer’s earning potential, especially during peak seasons.
B. No Warnings or Second Chances
Edusson is known for its strict policies, often terminating accounts without warning. This leaves little room for error, and writers must be cautious to avoid any actions that could lead to account suspension or termination. The platform’s “TERMINATION” policy is notoriously harsh, with little tolerance for mistakes. Due to this, writers often opt to buy new accounts since it is impossible to know if a used account has unknown underlying issues that might lead to termination.
C. The Client is King
Like many client-assign platforms, Edusson’s support team tends to side with clients in disputes, often leaving writers at a disadvantage. This can be frustrating, especially in cases where the client is unreasonable or at fault.
D. Expensive to Acquire Accounts
The cost of acquiring Edusson accounts in Kenya is relatively high compared to other platforms. Technical discipline accounts range from Ksh. 30,000 to Ksh. 60,000, while accounts with both technical and non-technical disciplines can go up to Ksh. 100,000. Non-technical accounts are the most expensive, typically retailing between Ksh. 100,000 and Ksh. 180,000 for new accounts, depending on demand and supply. Used accounts, especially clean Expert-level Group accounts, can cost between Ksh. 200,000 and Ksh. 300,000, depending on their statistics and demand.
E. Very Strict Account Managers
Each writer at Edusson is assigned an account manager who oversees their performance and addresses any issues. These managers are known for being overly strict, and often unwilling to negotiate or discuss issues with writers. They have the authority to suspend or terminate accounts at will, making them figures to be avoided by most writers.
Conclusion
Edusson is a top choice for academic writers in Kenya, offering a blend of consistent workflow, fair work distribution, and growth opportunities. However, the platform’s strict policies, high acquisition costs, and potential for sudden account termination pose significant challenges. For writers who can navigate these complexities and maximize the platform’s opportunities, Edusson offers a promising avenue for building a successful academic writing career.
