As far as stepping stones how can it be if you are writing essays for others who will claim them as their own work? If you point to essay x as an example of your work then someone is going to be guilty of plagiarism as they will have claimed that the essay they bought from you was their own work. In the end they will cheat themselves as they won't know the material as well as if they had to do the work themselves, risk getting in trouble with the school authorities, and possibly drag your name into it if it becomes a legal matter. Which I'm thinking wouldn't be a good means of advertisement for your writing skills. Some might even think, if he could help someone else do x how do we know he didn't steal book/story y from someone else? A good reputation is easily destroyed and difficult to reclaim.
