How many freelance proofreading jobs do
you need to build a career? The answer is quite a lot. Freelancing is
very different to having a regular job. You need to have a lot of work
lined up, from a number of different employers. Otherwise, you will find
yourself twiddling your thumbs when you should be working.
So what kind of freelance proofreading
jobs can you do? Well, there is no simple answer to that question, but
there are all kinds of possibilities. Book publishers rely heavily on
proofreaders for example, so there is a good chance of picking up work
from these kinds of employers. Magazine publishers also have similar
requirements, and even newspapers sometimes use freelance help for this
kind of work.
But you may be able to find freelance
proofreading jobs in other areas, too. For example, many corporations
produce documents such as annual reports, company magazines, white
papers and press releases. All of these need to be checked carefully for
accuracy. After all, there is nothing calculated to make a big company
look very silly rather than an obvious mistake in a publication which is
sent to hundreds of thousands of people. Just imagine a company
prospectus, aimed at floating a company on the stock market, which
contained obvious errors. The damage to the flotation could be
disastrous.
No-one wants this to happen, and that is
what makes proofreaders so valuable, and why there are so many freelance
proofreading jobs around. Anywhere where words are written down, there
is a need for professional skills to ensure that the whole thing is done
accurately.
Web sites are another typical example.
Simple errors on the home page of a high profile web site can make it a
laughing stock, so many people find freelance proofreading jobs working
as a proofreader for online businesses.
