This is my review of iwriter.com
Iwriter.com is a new site for both writers and requesters of articles. The site is very simple yet effective because the writer or the requester can go about the site easily. There are no advertisements incorporated on its dashboard to distract attention. Freelance writers wishing to sign up and requesters who want to avail of the service of the iwriter may follow the easy instructions or tutorials on the dashboard.
Pros
They have several options to pay their writers from weekly to bi-weekly and two times a month
Unlike other sites, they do not have any requirement for their writers so that anyone around the globe may join as long as you have the writing skill.
Although each article is paid with a meager amount if you live in the Western countries, what is good is that they really pay. My first approved sets of articles were paid on time. Other writers also claim the same.
The review and approval of articles is fast making fast income to your paypal. I am writing in several writing sites and it takes time for them to approve and pay.
Cons
It does not have live support. You can only contact requesters through mail if you have any questions or problems with the article.
Some requesters are unreasonable in disapproving your article. One of my articles was rejected because according to the requester she/he had approved previous article with the set tone the same as mine in which I did not intend to write the article the same way. Another requester gave me a reason that what I wrote is not just the article he was looking for even if I followed exactly his instructions!
So far, iwrite.com is good enough for freelancers and requesters of articles. I personally like the design of the site because you could navigate it easily without so much ado. Most importantly, they pay their writers. Kudos to the management of the iwriter.com!

Thanks for highlighting the website.
Looks like there are more questions on the support than anything. Is there actual payout yet?
Hi there, I have been writing for iWriter for one week. I have written four articles. Three of them have been approved and one is pending for review. My problem is from the day before yesterday I haven't been able to login with my correct user name and password. I have mailed them but no reply.
Hi all, thank you for posting this on the web as it's hard to find any information or reviews written on the web by someone who actually wrote for the company and have first hand experience that they are reviewing. I was just wondering about the pay out myself. I finally got the balance past twenty bucks and I'm like -uh...now what. Cross my fingers and hope it goes in I guess. Theres nothing to submit a request or confirm they have my infor blah blah blah so you know that the transfer is going to happen or is scheduled. What really concerns me is that there really is no road for authors to contact iwriter if there is say a glitch in the system or they have an important question that needs to be answered. the contact us just took it too a different website that Brad owns but nothing or no way to seek support for iwriter writers- or requestors for what I can tell. The site is smartly set up, hopefully as it continues to develop-this will be remedied.
I agree with you that the site is really set up smartly. The creator of the site is is very witty to wash hands if problems arise. Although, I still find it simple and effective for both writers and requesters. You may contact the requester only before you can write his/her article and you can also give a review after whether the written article is rejected ort accepted.
That is too bad. I did not yet write today but yesterday I wrote several articles but when Itried to submit it the whole article was highlighted with yellow as well and the word count was doubled or far way behind the actual word count. It has no comment as to plagirarism though but still the article was accepted and approved. Since I joined the site, I observed, they update the site every now and then causing some problems in download and during submission. Let us try to wait and see what happens next. I am sorry for your experience though but keep on writing!
Hi, I contacted the customer support desk and brad himself answered my question, he said that there is really nothing he can do about it and that I must change whatever was flagged by copyscape. It is a little disappointing since you really can't write a product review without mentioning the name of the product, so I have to be charged $.05 for every resubmission. I think that the policy should not be 0% duplicate content since with product reviews you should really mention the name of the product, and there should be a threshold level to which is acceptable the requester will also see if there was an intention to plagiarize since, you can say "here are some steps;" or "below are some of the" are unintentionally the same with other web content.
Do not worry Scheng. I experienced the same thing in the past several times. You just wait for your payment. It is on the way I am sure.
Hi, thanks for the reply. Another question, have you tried writing today? I wrote a product review and it turn out an error when I submitted it because of copyscape. The name of the product which was supposed to be mentioned a couple of times with in the article was highlighted in yellow. "the quality of this product" was also highlighted in yellow and it says that these are found in other sites which makes my article not original. Then I ignored it and resent it but I was charged for copyscape fees. I understand they want original articles, but how is it possible to write a product review without mentioning the name of the product and such general statements as "the quality of this product" be flagged as plagiarism. It also warned me that after the next 2 flaggs my acount will be suspended. I sent a ticket to their supposedly 24hour customer support desk. but still no response. Can you give me some advice? thanks,
Hi there, I've been writing for iwriter for 4weeks now, I have set my payout weekly, the first 3 weeks were fine, as soon as my acount balance was zeroed it was automatically transffered to my paypal account. but this week's payment got me really worried. My iwriter balance is zero, it is indicated there that it is transferred in my paypal account,but I have not received anything yet. I tried to contact their customer support but I have not received any reply yet.
hello kris. You try it and be amazed.
Hello
I was just going through all the comments here. I have been writing for iwriter for some time now and it has been a satisfactory experience so far except for a few glitches. One, as mentioned here is the copyscape stuff, it can be really frustrating. Reviews, contents and even the required keywords get flagged yellow and you are charged 0.5 every time. Hope the admin does something abut it soon.
Yes another point is payment, also mentioned here by someone. The operation goes very smoothly and then suddenly the money does not get transferred to Paypal. It happened once and the balance was carried over to next week. This week too same problem and submitting tickets do not bring responses. Hoping the admin or Brad will respond to my critical ticket. I really wish they would have a 24-hour support system like some of the other sites.
Last word, though, iwriter is great for freelancing writers like me and your writing skills can earn high revenues. Only wish they do something about the transfers and support.
Thanks for this. Many writers are looking for as many opportunities as possible to generate income for their work. I had not heard of Iwriter.com before reading your article.
