I wish there's a choice for a zero-star rating! I mean, Livingston Research, if you guys are not interested in recruiting more freelancers, just say so for goodness' sake. I broke my back to carry out quality research, with great sources and used the required referencing/citation style (MLA, including the in-text citation) for the test task (assignment) of the application process, making sure to follow the instructions given for the assignment, including the and word count restriction, all with reference to the MLA guide they provided. And their "feedback" on the assignment that was expected to take "3-5 working days"? Suddenly arrived within 6 hours of submitting the assignment, stating that they had assessed my performance, and in the "grading report" I got a 0/3 for "Instructions followed" (Plagiarism free, Content, Sources, Word count), and then a 0/2 for "Language and format" (Structure, Language, Format). It's all funny, if not so annoying, because I tried to avoid being accused of plagiarism, so I used online plagiarism checking tools (grammarly, copyleaks, etc.), also used grammarly for language and formatting, and also ZeroGPT to avoid being said to have used AI. All these tools asserted that my work was free of plagiarism, and grammarly gave a green light on language.

I worked with Livingston Research for over two years, consistently earning B to A+ grades and meeting all deadlines. Recently, due to a change in payment policies, I had to update my account name to match my Payoneer account, which was under my brother’s name. I submitted all required documents, but the verification didn’t go through properly. Despite being told I had time to fix it, my account was terminated before the deadline. After years of reliable work, this was frustrating and disappointing. I expected more fair handling and better communication.

I’m extremely disappointed with how this company has handled my payment (approx. 280$). My account was terminated without notice, and since then, I’ve been repeatedly told to check messages in an inbox I no longer have access to — despite clearly stating this multiple times. On April 26th, I informed them that Wise and Payoneer are not available in Togo (West Africa) due to local issues with confirmation codes. I asked for the payment to be sent via PayPal or a direct bank transfer instead. They acknowledged this, but never took action. To make matters worse, the company now claims to have sent the money to my PayPal account, but no funds have arrived. When I ask for a proof of transfer, they consistently ignore the request and continue to avoid giving a clear answer. It has now been over two months (I sent the 1st warning email on the 7th of April 2025), and I still have not been paid. This feels less like miscommunication and more like deliberate stalling or an attempt to withhold payment. Freelancers: please think twice before working with this company. If something goes wrong, they offer no support, no transparency, and no accountability. I'm currently considering legal action to recover the money owed to me.

I’ve been working with Livingston Research for a while now, and overall, it’s been a positive experience. Their dashboard is very user-friendly and makes it easy to manage tasks, track deadlines, and stay organized. One thing I really appreciate is the support team — they respond quickly and are always helpful in resolving issues or answering questions. However, I would love to see some improvements in the payment methods. Currently, Payoneer is not available as a primary withdrawal method, which is a big issue for writers in countries like mine (Angola), where PayPal and Wise are not accessible. It would make a huge difference if Livingston could make Payoneer a priority option or at least introduce wire transfers. That way, all writers, regardless of their location, could enjoy smoother and more accessible payments. If these changes are made, I believe the platform would be even more inclusive and supportive of its global freelance community.

I worked really hard to be an A+ writer. Then the moment I got 2 bad reviews ( one was totally unfair ) out of 10 or 11 5 star reviews I am suddenly a B level writer. I understand the system but as a B writer, I need to work on several orders to get back to A, but I can't because as a B level writer I have no orders in the dashboard 🙂 how on earth am I supposed to improve ?

This is a great company where I’ve grown a lot both professionally and personally. I’ve had the chance to take on new challenges, develop my skills, and see real progress in my career path. There’s definitely room for growth here - and if you’re ready to put in the effort, there’s a real opportunity to earn a good salary. It’s been a rewarding experience for me so far.

its been over eix months since I've got selected but when i mail them about working in their platform this is the reply i got 10to 15 times over and over "Congratulations! You've successfully joined our Livingston Research family! We had to slow down the hiring process of new applicants, but we'll give you the access to the platform as soon as we have enough orders available to provide you with a steady monthly income. Stay tuned!" what a waste of time and effort passing their tests
