Introduction
Uvocorp is one of the pioneers of the academic writing industry in Kenya. It has been a launching pad for many of the “original” academic writers, and at one point, it was considered the crown jewel for those who could afford to own an account. The company has undergone significant changes over the years but continues to offer substantial benefits to many writers today.
Pros of Uvocorp:
A. Reliable Workflow Throughout the Year
Uvocorp guarantees a steady and reliable workflow year-round, allowing writers to work either full-time or part-time as academic writers. This consistency makes it a dependable option for writers looking to maintain a stable income.
B. Safe, Long-term Investment
Uvocorp places a high value on loyalty and strives to build long-term relationships with its writers. Exceptional writers can maintain their accounts for years without the risk of termination, provided they continue to meet the company’s performance standards. However, it’s important to note that Uvocorp is not hesitant to terminate accounts of poorly performing writers.
C. Opportunities for Long-term Growth
Uvocorp offers clearly defined levels that are attainable for hardworking and exceptional writers. Writers can progress through these levels, starting from Middle level and advancing to Pro level, making it possible to achieve significant growth over time.
D. Take System for Order Distribution
Uvocorp is one of the few companies that still employs the “take” system for order distribution. This system allows writers to manage their workload and time effectively, making it easier to balance multiple projects.
E. Trusted Name in the Industry
With its long history in Kenya, Uvocorp is a trusted name in the academic writing industry. As one of the pioneers, it commands respect and is widely recognized for its contributions to the field.
F. Friendly and Lenient Support
Uvocorp’s support team is known for being friendly and understanding, setting it apart as one of the more approachable and supportive teams in the industry.
G. Support for Team-based Writing
Uvocorp accounts, once they reach Conglomerate and Office status, can support large teams of writers. These higher-level accounts come with additional features that allow for greater access to work, making them suitable for managing a team. This setup significantly boosts the earning potential of account owners while enabling the support of a substantial number of writers within a single operation.
H. Fair Quality Assurance Standards
Uvocorp maintains high yet fair quality assurance standards. Similar to Academia Research, the company carefully reviews writers’ performance and provides fair assessments in case of disputes with clients.
I. Competitive Cost Per Page (CPP)
Uvocorp offers some of the best base pay rates in the industry, making it an attractive option for writers looking to maximize their earnings. Middle-level accounts and Conglomerate/Office accounts pay an average of $4.5 per page for long-deadline orders, with urgent orders paying up to $9 or more per page. Expert-level accounts offer $6 per page for long deadlines and up to $12 or more per page for urgent orders. Pro-level accounts pay $8 per page for long deadlines and as much as $15 or more per page for urgent orders.
J. Quick Payout Periods
Uvocorp ensures that once orders are approved by clients, the funds are immediately available for withdrawal during the next nearest payment period. This is especially beneficial when working on urgent orders, which are often approved quickly, allowing writers to manage their income and meet financial needs effectively.
Cons of Uvocorp:
A. Strict Quality Requirements
Uvocorp is renowned for its high-quality standards, which can be challenging for many writers in the Kenyan market. The platform is intended for exceptional writers who consistently adhere to instructions, meet deadlines, and maintain high-quality work. This makes it difficult for writers with varying quality standards to succeed.
B. Limited Take Limits
Like all take accounts, Uvocorp imposes limits on the number of orders a writer can have at any given time. Unfortunately, unlike other platforms like Academia, which gradually increase take limits as accounts advance through levels, Uvocorp employs a standard set of take limits for all accounts, regardless of level. For instance, during the low season, all accounts have a maximum of 2 takes at a time, while during the high season, this limit increases to 3. These low limits restrict writers’ ability to maximize their earning potential, especially when compared to Academia Research accounts, which can handle up to 12 orders at a time for First Class accounts.
C. Screen Staring Contest
As with all take accounts, work is only available once clients place and pay for orders. This means that writers may spend a significant amount of time staring at blank screens, waiting for orders to appear. This can be a tedious and demoralizing experience, particularly for inexperienced writers or those accustomed to more active platforms.
D. Constant Evaluations
Uvocorp regularly conducts random evaluations of writers’ performance by selecting three orders completed during the evaluation period. Based on these evaluations, writers can be promoted, demoted, maintain their level, or even face termination if the quality of the selected papers falls below Uvocorp’s standards. Writers must consistently deliver exceptional quality to continue working with the company.
E. Regular Verifications
Uvocorp conducts verifications that require account owners to provide specific documents to prove ownership of their accounts. For those who have purchased accounts, this necessitates maintaining contact with the original account owner to survive these verifications. Failure to provide the required verification documents can lead to account termination.
F. High Cost of Accounts
Uvocorp accounts are among the most expensive to acquire in the Kenyan market, due to their long-standing history and esteemed position in the industry. For example, new Middle-level accounts cost at least Ksh. 100,000, while clean used accounts can cost even more. Expert-level accounts currently cost upwards of Ksh. 200,000, while Pro-level accounts are priced at over Ksh. 300,000. Office-level accounts, which are rare, can cost upwards of half a million Kenyan shillings, with some exceeding a million. circumstances.
Conclusion
Uvocorp remains a significant player in the academic writing industry, particularly in Kenya, where it has a long-standing reputation as a trusted and respected platform. While it offers numerous benefits, including a reliable workflow, competitive pay rates, and opportunities for long-term growth, it also comes with challenges such as strict quality requirements, limited take limits, and high account costs. For those who can meet its demands, Uvocorp provides a stable and potentially lucrative opportunity. However, it is best suited for exceptional writers who are committed to maintaining high standards and who are prepared to navigate the platform’s rigorous expectations.

I worked for UVOCORP for six years. Working part time, I averaged $65K annually. I worked in over 60 different majors.
Over the years, things went from good to fair to bad to worse. They used to take a middle-of-the-road stance on disagreements. Nowadays, the petulant baby “college student” is always right, so the writer must “correct” the paper umpteen times.
I told the company NOT to accept software development tasks. All of a sudden, students were robbing writers blind, getting $500 or more worth of work for $75.
They used to call me in the middle of the night, “We really need XYZ, we know it’s late, but we’ll pay you $495 if you can write the six pages within two hours.” They seemed to lose ANY sense of “how one conducts business with a customer base of children.”
Sorry, my last paragraph may have confused you. The point was that they were–once upon a time–competent businessmen. NOW their only concern seems to be pacifying an out-of-control student body (how can they do any work if they’re busy marching in the street and vandalizing college buildings?)–the writers be damned.
