How can you tell if an online source is trustworthy or not? There are a few things you can do. When you are browsing online for persuasive essay topics, see what kinds of websites come up in the search results. If the domain ends in .edu then the site can be trusted because it’s a scholarly site, like a University. Not everyone can buy the .edu domains.
Another way is to ascertain if you have found a legitimate writing service. These services usually post good essay topics for students to use. If you are searching for a unique topic, it will be difficult to find one online because so many hundreds of students have access to the same lists and you never know how many times the topics have already been used.
