I worked for 2 years at a document scanning company years ago and proofreading was all I did 8 hours a day, basically catching errors that were caused by a faulty document scan. As a result, over the years, I find myself catching spelling and grammar errors on TV chyrons and documents. It's a habit I can't break! LOL
I'm the same! Hence why I'm watching this video.. it's almost irritating because it annoys the majority of society. Comments such as "grammar police" etc. I just can't help it though!
I've been looking at the course, I don't know if the course is genuine or not. Did you have any prior experience? Also, does the course help you in finding paid clients? Thank you for your time.
I have loved reading since elementary school and have been catching grammatical/punctuation errors in books, magazines, and online blogs/articles since 2015. It is a passion for me.
Thanks for the video! I have spotted errors my whole life, as early as 6 or 7, reading menus and finding misspellings. I did medical transcription for 13+ years as well as proofread other transcriptionists’ work, so I may give this a try as a side hustle. 😊
Thank you so much for this information! I am a stay at home mom with a love for (and many have said a gift for!) writing and editing. I’ve been looking into freelancing options for some time now, and your video gave me the kick in the pants I needed to just DO IT. I set up a profile on UpWork yesterday and have already begun submitting proposals. I am a published author with a personal website and blog, and am giving that information for the prospective clients to check out when I send proposals - haven’t gotten any takers yet but I am hoping someone will give me a chance so I can begin to build some credibility! I’m not going to give up until someone does 😅😏 Thanks again!
@@TheSavvyCouple thank you!! Do you have any tips on getting my first clients? I’ve sent 6 proposals but no takers yet. I know it’s early on but if you have any tips I’d be so grateful! If I can just get a couple, I think it’d be easier moving forward. I’ve applied for a few really simple, quick turnaround ones just to try to get something and maybe some helpful feedback for my profile in return. But not sure how to snag those first ones 😅
I’m actually finishing up the Proofread Anywhere course, I got it while discounted almost a year ago, it gives you great starting tips and practice for getting up skills, building a portfolios and so much. There are two levels of the general course offered and marketing specifics would be accessible within the plus option. I only have the regular currently but I’m sure there are marketing tips and guidance online
@@stateofconsciousness9174 I didn’t have a lot of money at the time even with a discount and the other type is more expensive (both the plus and the transcript one) and I wanted to see what the general course had to offer. I hadn’t stuck with it to completion as of current but it wasn’t a bad starting place. There is a supportive Facebook group but only to an extent. The marketing specifics are for the plus students only unfortunately 🙄 So I guess it depends on which you’d like to commit to. I hope I answered your question 😅
I received my degree in journalism. I worked in sports public relations for four years out of college however I have not written much in the last 14 years. I want a work from home job and I think this best suits my skills.
I am always on the look out for grammatical errors. I am an English major in college, and I am minoring in creative writing with the hopes of becoming an editor/ proofreader. The most common errors that I find are homonyms and quite a bit of mechanic and usage problems.
I am taking the Proofread Anywhere course (the paid version). I have not taken the exam yet, but I can still find work until I finish it. I have had a few jobs, but I have not promoted myself yet. I am still teaching high school English. I am ready to make this a full-time hustle.
This keeps happening even when reading books, especially older versions of them. Many typos, and some grammar errors, but especially for emails and texts nowadays. Thank you for this video!
I've been working as a college writing tutor for over 4 years. I'm now the academic assistant for the university tutorial services & languages & literature departments. In December, I will graduate with a BA in English with a focus on professional writing. I've been researching to determine what I want to do after I graduate and proofreading would be amazing! There is just so much information on the Internet that it is overwhelming. I don't know where or how to start.
Yes! This is how I started my job as an editor. My friend noticed I would always notice her errors when she sent me a piece. She asked why not make money off of this?
Great video, very helpful. Yes, I often see grammatical errors when I read. It is something that happens without any effort, and what I use to determine the trustworthiness of a product or communique. I expect professionalism in product reviews. Without it I will move on to another vendor.
Thanks for this video! I’m definitely interested in this field. I’m a chemistry major for my associates, but I’m looking to do either an English/journalism degree for my bachelors. Proofreading and editing is certainly on my radar career wise. This video is very helpful, thank you.
I am on the same boat as you, Sabrina. I have worked as a chemist for 15 years. I need a change and I was looking at this as something I can do as I work on raising family and travel.
very straight forward thank you im a writer i have over 3000 songs ive personally written myself i think its a clear indicator by the universe that i nust pursue either writing or proof reading in some aspect
For this video, I wished that the site names were in a graphic or something that I can see. Something that pops out while you're talking about each website. Or maybe a list that we can see on the side of the screen. I'll re-watch your video just to make my own list, but just a suggestion.
A lot of times what I'll notice is an incorrect duplication of a word, like "and and," where it's clearly not an intentional choice (in the wonderfully weird ways English can be sometimes). Other times, it'll be "his" or "is" when the opposite is what was meant to be written.
I always always find editing mistakes in online publications and i literally am salivating for the chance to get to make a little extra income doing this type of work.
And just a tip for anyone watching, that first “free resource” isn’t free. When I tried it it was a short workshop (the teaching part was short) and then basically a very long extended promo for a $600 proofreading course (this was back in 2020, not sure what it costs now.)
I want to do this !! I used to proofread my husband’s emails. English wasn’t his strong suit. Our grammar is horrible, when I hear a news anchor “I have went…” it’s like nails on chalkboard. 😮
I have a tricky question: I do proofing for hundreds of clothing designs for a collegiate apparel company like making sure logos are correct, the colors are correct, the spelling for each school is correct, etc. So when doing a job search, would it be more helpful to look under proofing or quality control?
I've been writing content for 13 years, and doing a considerable amount of proofreading work as well. I not only find grammatical and typographical errors in books (Love 'em!) but find myself mentally correcting people when they speak! 😁
Many times I'll be reading a story online like quotev or wattpad, and find grammatical errors, and will read them through and fix the errors myself, finding the best way to form the sentences
I am definitely someone who finds errors in something I’m ready no matter what that may be. My friends and family actually get tired of me pointing out their mistakes in text messages. Lol. My friends and family also pick on me because I use punctuation when texting. Lol. Lol.
I have a question to ask? Should I pursue education first or should I search for jobs first instead? Or perhaps do both together? A response is appreciated!
I'm an avid fiction reader and I have found a few errors as I've read. It drives me a little crazy when I find them because I want to automatically fix it, not to mention that it can potentially jar the reader out of the fiction world. I would love to spend my day proofreading because it would allow me to do something I already enjoy so much. I grew up with my mom and I called her a walking, talking dictionary because if I didn't know a word, she would be able to help me just as well as Google can these days. Any tips for me as a beginner are welcome, because I am interested in making this my stay at home job. I'm highly antisocial, so it would fit me perfectly.
Hello there. First I would like to tell you that I enjoyed your video and it is very informational. To answer your question regarding if when I am reading something, do I pick out grammatical errors, cap. errors, sentence structure, etc. Oh yes, I do! I have always done that and think it's so funny that I just automatically do this. I'm feeling that perhaps I could earn a bit of money picking out and fixing the mistakes I read. I just need some help in getting started in a possible profession that I should have been doing a long time ago.
Yes, I absolutely catch mistakes all of the time in captioning and articles etc etc. I worked with a millionaire who couldn’t spell! It’s just the way my lens is set with my dad having been an English teacher, ESL teacher, and administrator. Most of my 6 brothers and sisters were this way as well so it is embedded! I did sign up and have lifetime access to a proofreading course that ends with a certificate but the support was absolutely terrible I couldn’t endure it.
OHHH!I I'm so interested in checking out all the information you provided. I am VERY good at finding mistakes. I've been a teacher for 38 years. I majored in English in college. I have my Master's as well. Proofreading seems to be right up my alley. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! I am one of those people that finds mistakes easily in most everything I read. How do you determine which company to start with and what type of assignments to accept as a beginner?
I read a book two months ago, that was written by a Relative of a very close friend. The Grammar and the spelling were so bad, that it took me longer than usual to read a 244-page book. I can complete a book of that length in two sittings, if it's interesting and is "readable" , but it took me over two week's worth of sittings to struggle through it.
Great video👍 prescise and straight to the point. Not ambiguous at all. I believe I'll do very well in this niche, cos I easily pick grammatical errors and wrong spellings from write-ups whenever I read. Lol Thanks for this video Liked and subscribed already💯
Awesome it’s definitely one of our favorite side hustles since it’s so easy to start, high paying, and has a flexible schedule. Definitely check out the free webinar I mentioned. Here is the link thesavvycouple.com/proofreadanywhere/
I like to proof read. I would always joke when I was married, I was the English/Grammar person for the kids and my ex was the Math person. Excited to check this out.
I seem to have a problem. I always find grammatical or punctuational errors and I feel like ripping my hair off😭. I proofread messages before sending them to ANYONE. One time I didn’t proofread a message very well and I sent it. I actually cried. I deleted the text, but the person had already seen it. They were like “Do you really think I care about errors when I make a bunch of spelling mistakes every time??”
Great video and information. I am always finding errors when reading books and websites. They seem to jump out at me. This sounds like a perfect opportunity for me.
I definitely would like to start doing this! I find it hard to not correct spelling and grammar errors on posts that I see in my Facebook feed by leaving a comment!
I always pay attention on details in mu whole life. Sometimes I am in my free time doing that and it is exhaustive. Especially if I go in somewhere I observe the errors during the process (forget the client waiting, mistakes in the dishes and order and many others)😂.
I just found this video and would like advice how to start as a beginner. I’ve used quill so basically have some knowledge in fixing misspelled words but am extremely interested where to go from here 🤓🧐
Even though I am not a native English speaker I find so many mistakes in published documents be they typos, grammar and/or syntax errors. My whole education and career since the age of 12 (I am currently 59) has been in English so, I believe, I am well equipped to do this. Would this work from Rome, Italy where I currently reside?
Informative, thanks. I am making a career change while keeping a p/t job working with Developmentally disabled adults. I need to be remote to pick up and go at any time. I work around my husbands R/R job . I have always seen errors, pick them out everywhere and read fast. I'm interested in this as a possibility. How do you bid a job ? How hard is it to get work when first starting out?
Yeah, I used to read a lot and I also took an office services class with proofreading lessons so I always catch spelling errors in everything I see. Is copy editor and proofreader the same thing? It seems that you’re using them synonymously, but I thought editing was much more creative than just catching typos or spelling errors.
I worked for 2 years at a document scanning company years ago and proofreading was all I did 8 hours a day, basically catching errors that were caused by a faulty document scan. As a result, over the years, I find myself catching spelling and grammar errors on TV chyrons and documents. It's a habit I can't break! LOL
Kenneth Fernandez haha that’s too funny. It’s a great gig.
which company is that because i always find myself proofreading everything and looking for mistakes lol
I'm the same! Hence why I'm watching this video.. it's almost irritating because it annoys the majority of society. Comments such as "grammar police" etc.
I just can't help it though!
Lol always
Please name of the company

How hard is it to get work when first starting out?
Yes I pick up mistakes often in materials I read.
Perfect
Yes I'm always finding errors in books.
Wow. Even in published books haha

I saw your course but I am interested in this part time. Is there sites where we can start immediately. I have a BA in English.
Thank you so much for all of this info!
Our pleasure 😊
Yes that's me! I do that all the time!
Yes I'm ready!

I’m definitely a natural at proofreading
Perfect
Yeah, I used to read a lot and I also took an office services class with proofreading lessons so I always catch spelling errors in everything I see. Is copy editor and proofreader the same thing? It seems that you’re using them synonymously, but I thought editing was much more creative than just catching typos or spelling errors.
I love reading and i have always finding error grammatically
Every single day!! Retired teacher here
Nice!
I am one of those people who always pick up on misspellings, wrong verb tenses. Can I work from Jamaica with only a cellphone?
I constantly find errors in books, magazines and captions on TV. Drives me nuts.
I am always finding misspelled words and grammar goofs. It makes me crazy!!!
