Building better opportunities through freelance writing
We have compiled some of the common questions we have received from our researchers. Please take time to go through each question to further understand how our services work. If you have any questions that are not found in this section, please feel free to send us an email at enquiries@prospectsolution.com:
You can work from any location as long as you have access to a computer, the Internet, text books and other research resources. We have writers from all locations across the globe including the UK, Canada, Australia, and the USA.
The amount that you will be paid depends on the brief requirements. The factors that affect the researcher's fee are the level, length and the timescale given for the brief to be completed. For an individual brief you could earn anywhere between £50 and £1000+. Please see our current payment levels to know more about Prospect Solution's freelance writer rates.
When new briefs are sent to you they will appear in the "New Jobs" section of your researcher account.
An email will be sent to your registered email address notifying you of a new brief in your researcher account. The email will detail information about the brief such as the title, delivery period and fee.
New briefs are offered on a first come, first served basis. We generally keep bids open for at least 1-2 hours after a new brief notification has been sent out. If after this time we have selected a writer for the brief, the information about the brief will automatically be deleted from your researcher account.
You will be notified on the same day that you place a bid on a piece. However, there are instances that will take up to 72 hours before we can inform you of the status of your bid. An email will be sent to you to confirm whether your bid has been successful or not.
You will simply invoice us for the work that you have completed in that month for us. You can receive payment either by Paypal or bank transfer at the end of the invoicing month. (See our invoicing section for more details).
You will be offered different types of work under your area of expertise. Most of the works offered are research writing, proofreading and editing. After having been able to submit impressive briefs to Prospect Solution, we may invite you to become a permanent researcher with improved writer rates.
The simple answer is 'No'. You can choose the work that suits you. You are not obliged to carry out any work which is offered to you. However when you accept work, this will help attain a higher recognition and ranking in our system.
We always select the most suitable writer to complete a piece of work, therefore if a writer is more qualified or has a greater understanding of the topic then he or she will usually be chosen to complete a particular brief. We do encourage new writers to get involved and we regularly offer new researchers pieces over existing researchers.
These are the degree level standards that are used in the UK. A 1st standard typically translates to 70%+, a 2:1 is 60%-70% and a 2:2 is 50%-60% out of 100.
Yes, this is generally the case. For example, if you graduated in Economics, you will be offered work under the subject of Economics or its cross over subjects such as Finance and Business. We may offer you work which is of general nature, if it is not linked to a specific subject area.
You will receive an email confirmation from us within 72 hours of bidding to confirm whether or not you have been chosen to complete the brief. If you are successful you will be required to begin work on the brief as soon as you receive confirmation. Your chances of receiving work will depend on how quickly you can respond to our "New Jobs" offer in your researcher account. New work details are also sent to you via email.
After you have completed the piece and have made sure that it fulfils the original criteria, you should submit the piece to us either in word document (.doc) or in rich text format (.rtf) and upload it through your account.
In certain cases where the file size is larger than 1Mb or the piece of work is programming, then you can return the completed brief via an email attachment and send it to researchers@prospectsolution.com (please remember to put the brief number in the email title).
No. In order to assure our clients of quality custom-written and fully-original work, we do not encourage the same researcher to undertake briefs with the same/similar topic. However, if a researcher is 100% certain to be able to make a completely different work (different style, different references, etc.), they should furnish Prospect Solution an email stating a guarantee of producing a completely original work. Only upon receipt of this email can Prospect Solution accept your bid for the brief. In case we find any similarity of your work with your previous submissions, Prospect Solution will rightfully give the client a full refund and inevitably, zero payment to the writer.
This depends on several factors including the subject area you write in, the time of year and also the quality of the pieces that you produce. If you constantly produce good quality work and are reliable, you will be in a very favourable position to receive regular work on a weekly basis. However if the work you produce for us is sub-standard, then we will have to offer work to others above yourself. Generally the more accessible and available you are, the more are the chances that you will receive work on a regular basis.
Every piece that you receive from us should be written to the specified level, which is highlighted in the original requirements that we send to you when you accept the work. If the piece is indicated as a 2:1 piece then it should be written to that standard. Again, if the piece is a 1st degree standard piece we expect the piece to be written to that standard. All the work should be fully referenced.
We have an in house quality control team who check each piece to make sure that it meets the criteria that we have asked for. We especially check for work that has been submitted by newer researchers to make sure that the quality we expect is met. Prospect Solution holds a scoring system for all of our writers to make sure of the ongoing quality of each researcher.
This is simple. We have fully integrated plagiarism software which checks all pieces for any similarities and also searches every web page, essay banks, journals and other sources. Although this system is expensive to operate it is important for the integrity and ongoing success of our company to present our customers with all-original and fully referenced pieces of research work.
You must let us know at the earliest point if you are having any trouble completing work on time. In any circumstances that work is returned late then you will be penalised. If you return the brief late without informing us, you will be automatically taken off our database. For your own advantage you must always complete the assigned work on time. (See the pay and penalties section for more information).
Briefs generally can be completed within 1 to 5 days; we also set projects that may take several weeks or months to complete. If you receive a 5-day order then you must complete and return the piece on the 5th day before 4pm G.M.T. If the work is handed back later than this time you will suffer penalties on your fee.
We normally only allow our researchers to complete assignments one at a time. However since the deadlines of briefs often vary, we may ask you to work on two pieces at the same time if both you and Prospect Solution feel that you are comfortable to do so.
If you have other cross-over subjects that are relevant to your degree or you have qualified for a new subject area then we would welcome your request to add this to your account. Please email researchers@prospectsolution.com and we will review your request.
Since you are accepting the work on the condition that you can fulfil the writing requirements, you are generally not allowed to make any amendments thereto. However on the occasions that you do have to make an amendment to a piece, in most cases we will notify you within seven days after the deadline with which the piece was due. This is not seven days from the time you submit the piece if you return it earlier than the hand in date. All amendments are mandatory and must be completed within the time specified to you. (Please see the amendments section).
