Hi
I'm after a bit of advice.... I'm looking at whether I can make money being a proofreader, and wondering if anyone does this and can give me some advice?
I used to do a lot of copywriting and proofreading in my previous life in an office job, plus I have excellent spelling/punctuation skills, but I don't have any specific proofreading qualifications. Would I need to do some kind of qualification before I could start marketing myself? And if so what? I know that Caitlin Pyle offers a free course via Proofread Anywhere, but I don't fancy paying for her full course as it's kind of expensive!
Also, where do I advertise my services? I've already looked at People Per Hour and Fiverr - are these good money earners? And are there are other good sites?
Any advice would be very welcome! Thanks in advance.
