Looking for an online writing job?
Look, I understand that there are a lot of options on the internet but very few reputable ones.
Hence, this blog article talks about two online writing companies that may be fit for what you’re looking for!!
First, is Scribbloo formerly known as essays.ph. This company has been in business for 11 years. The company hires Southeast Asians from Philippines, Malaysia and India. Scribbloo is owned by Agabin Interactive Network Inc. (AINI).
The company acts as a platform for freelance writers to enable them acquire projects through reliable transactions.
Second, we have Wordsmith. The company has been operating since 2009. It takes pride upon producing high quality academic outputs for clients through its roster of carefully-selected and trained team of writers.
Wordsmith is popular in Singapore as the excellent provider of quality and punctual writing services as compared to its competitors.

Wordsmith
While Wordsmith offers a more stable earning especially for full time writers. The company pays P30,000 per month as base salary.
But not only that! Incentives are also given for writers who can write beyond the minimum required word count per month, hence this amount increases accordingly with the additional output the writers can produce.
For part time and freelance writers, rates differ accordingly with the quantity, word count and type of assignment.
There’s more! Wordsmith also acknowledges Filipino public holidays (all of which are paid) and the company provides benefits appropriated for full time writers.
