Proofreading: A remote-work option you might not have considered

Advertisements

We often talk about the best ways to make money from home and the different ways to work for yourself. Perhaps one of the lesser-known ways to do this is by proofreading. Yet there is an incredibly high demand for proofreading worldwide, and the best part is that you don’t need to be in any specific location to do the job… it’s all from your computer or tablet!

Fine-toothed comb

With proofreading, you take content that other people have written and proofread it with a fine-toothed comb to make it perfect. This gig is obviously for a very specific type of person who LOVES to correct grammar, hates when authors use a comma splice or makes note of spelling mistakes on a restaurant menu… it takes a certain “eagle eye” ability to be good at proofreading!

How much can you make

Now, how much can you make as a proofreader? Well, I happen to have a couple of friends who are in that industry, and it turns out — quite a lot! Some proofreaders are earning over $40,000 working for themselves and loving their jobs.

I work a full-time Job

Will I have time to take this course? Absolutely! All the lessons in this program are designed for BUSY people who only have a few hours a week to dedicate to a side hustle or starting a new business. Even after completing the course, you can STILL build a profitable proofreading business working just a few hours each week.

Do I need to have proofreading skills already?

No! Proofreading skills are not required, but it will help if you already have a knack for spotting errors. The people who excel at proofreading tend to be detail-oriented, have the patience to read through lots of text, and like to work with people.

Misconception

There’s a misconception that freelancing means you don’t have to deal with people at all. And while proofreading is great for introverts and extroverts alike — and mostly requires “heads down” work time — you need to be somewhat of a people person to attract and retain clients. However, you’ll learn a LOT of the technical and mindset skills you need in the course, and it’s possible to learn to proofread even if you’re not a “pro” or a “natural” right now. You don’t even need a college degree! Just a pair of eyes.

Does this course help me find proofreading work?

Yes! We provide a whole module with dozens of the resources and tools you can use to find paid work — BUT you need to implement these tools and be creative to get (and keep!) your clients.
