Iakul's Freelance Writing Musings

Some time back, I wrote an article exposing Academia-reseach as a scam. Recently, it came to my attention that someone has written an article claiming that it's not a scam. *Sighes* I don't know whether to laugh or cry after looking at what he wrote. It amazes me that there are people who can be so deluded. And frankly, I think his article builds a case against Academia-research. Imagine an article, written in barely passable English , claiming that a certain writing site is not a scam, that he has worked there for 4 years and they do not just take on anybody, but first assess whether the applicant is a good writer . For those of you who are interested, you can do a search for "Academia research scam" and read the one with a title claiming that it's not a scam.

A belated happy new year to my readers (I hope I still have readers :P, since it been more than a month since my last post) Looks like it's been more than a month since my last post. Anyway, here's some updates. Did some spring cleaning on my list and cleaned up a few dead links. It appears some of the sites are no longer in business. In my last update, I mentioned that I was taking Review Stream off the list. Have been doing some digging around to see what I could find out about then since then and what I have found out appears to support my decision. For those of you interested in just what it was that I found out, here's the link to the article below. http://writinghood.com/writing/review-stream-opportunity-or-scam/

Another Triond article published. This one's on how to tell if a writing site is a scam. The article link http://www.writinghood.com/Online-Writing/How-to-Tell-If-a-Writing-Site-is-Legitimate.256087
