Most of those sites paying for academic articles are those flogging assignments to students too dumb/lazy to write their own. Helping them cheat. They submit your work as theirs.
Do you feel ok doing that? You have a degree yourself - but degrees now are being seriously devalued because of this sort of activity.Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j
OU student: A103 , A215 , A316 all done. Currently A230 all leading to an English Literature degree.
Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.0 -

It's true that some of the briefs that come through are blatantly student essays, personally I avoid these ones and go for ones that appear to just be contributing to someone's research or something for a lecturer.
Academic knowledge have done the same to me, sending me stuff that has nothing to do with my area and they don't pay very well so I've avoided them. Currently working on a 3000 word brief for prospect for £120 - not toooooo bad0
