A proofreader is a person who read the documents and corrects any kind of grammatical error that might be present in the document. Such kind of proofreaders offer their services at a specific rate. Having said that, proofreaders can be found on many different freelancing platforms. So, how do you make money as a proofreader? Have you ever worked as a proofreader?

I do not know about any sites entirely dedicated to proofreading. However, there are multiple freelance websites where you can work as a proof reader. When I was very active on SEOClerks and Upwork, I have done a lot of proofreading jobs for clients.

I never knew that one could make money as a proofreader online. It could nice and helpful if someone could do a review and inform members the website that offers such opportunity so that people can benefit...

I've not worked as a proofreader. This is a work which someone can get in media houses or book companies. I've not seen any opportunity to work as proofreader and if I see one, I would love to work on it. I've worked on review jobs twice, how hard can proofreadering be.

You could check out Scribendi. I hear it's a proofreading site where you can proofread content for pay. But there is a catch, you have to be certified in said field and also be qualified for proofreading. I think most sites might require you to be a professional proofreader first. There may be sites that don't check on this, but I imagine most sites will make you go through hoops to see what your skill level is at reading and writing.

I'm not surprised they have such requirements in your qualification before they will hire any freelancer to work as their proofreader. If they don't do this, they won't be having a professionally completed jobs and they might be sued. If they have this kind of high requirement, they will pay well.

There are many online platforms that tend to look for many Spanish and Mexican proofreaders on many platforms. Mexican and Spanish proofreaders are quite high in demand because there is a huge number of people in the US who speak these languages and they try to avail the services of such people from time to time.

There are opportunities online for proof readers that you can take up. For instance, imagine those preparing seminar presentations asking you to proofread their contents before they use it? It is going to attract a huge pay. So, once people online know that you are very good at proofreading, they will certainly bring jobs for you.

I have never worked on any proof reading jobs online or offline. It's not that I can't do the job but I never had the opportunity to be hired to work online or offline as a proof reader. I read mass communication, so it's something that I have the skills to do should I get hired for the job.

If you get an opportunity today to work on a proof reading job, would you be able to commit to it?

Yes of course, why not? As long as it's a job that's going to pay me very well, I will definitely be committed to the job. It's not like it's something that's alien to me, so I wouldn't find it difficult to adapt to the job even as a first timer.

I don't think they are going to pay well if they are in their right mind. They can just get their write-ups checked using Grammarly or something similar to it in seconds. There are many A.I tools as well to get the job done.

I'm very well aware of the possibility of the job not paying well. In fact, it's the reason why I haven't bothered much about looking for it. You're absolutely right about how the use of artificial intelligence can do so much on the job more than a human effort.

Well, while those tools that they can use to check for some grammatical errors exist, you can never equate it to the inputs that humans can do. The role of a skilled proofreader can never be underestimated no matter the kind of tools that we have at our disposal.

As far as I know proofreaders check spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization and formatting only. They do not provide any other input in regards to the content.

To the best of my knowledge, just like their job role is called proofreading, they are just expected to find out all manner of errors in a content and have them fixed. They don't make any other adjustments to the contents expect for corrections in the right places.
