Top 5 Things Freelance Writers in the Philippines Should Know about Online Writing Companies

1. Most of the online writing companies are based in the Philippines.  There are many freelance academic paper writers and article writers in the Philippines.  Most of these writers do not have an idea that the companies they work for are based in the Philippines. Some are in Quezon City, Makati, and Ortigas.  There are also some which are in the provinces.  These companies keep secret their name so the writers would not know which website they work for. Some companies give a foreign sounding name to their writers and they get assignments via email from these individuals.  Most freelance writers do not even have the chance to talk to the representatives of the company but they receive emails from individuals who represent the company.

2. Freelance writers only get 1/3 of the money given to the owners of online writing companies.  There are very few freelance writers who know that they only get around 25% to 35% of the money that is paid to the company.  While they do all the work they only get 1/3 of the money and the rest goes to the corporations which operate the websites. 

3. Writers can manage their own online business.  If these individuals who hire freelance writers managed to create their own online businesses and hire freelance writers to do the work for them, it is possible for freelance writers to start their online business too  With the help of web developers who are experienced in creating the websites for their niche and the right marketing effort, freelance writers can actually own their website and hire freelance writers.

4. Marketing your own website is no longer difficult. Despite the fierce competition in the academic paper writing industry and/or article writing industry, it is possible for anybody to start their own business, attract clients and earn money.  With the right marketing efforts, competing with the established companies is no longer impossible.  In our case, we were able to attract clients even when we did not have any knowledge about internet marketing, social media, or blogging. 

5. The tools you need to use to run an online writing company are sometimes free of charge.  Those who are interested to run their own online writing company needs to have a live chat support and/or a toll free number.  All these services are able over the Internet. In some cases, these companies charge less than $100 for a full year of service if you just look for them. 

Jim Cockrum, an expert in Internet Marketing, said that there has never been a better time to be a marketer or entrepreneur than now.  The broad reach of the Internet has helped online entrepreneurs
market their product and compete against established corporations.


Freelance writers need not be contented writing for online writing companies.  Freelance writing should not be the goal.  Starting your own online business should be the only goal.
