There are a lot of good jobs that pay well these days, but I found someone who is part of another growing trend – proofreaders. Sue Gilad is the author of a book called Paid to Proofread which details how she started making money proofreading by finding errors and informing the publishers about it. She mentions that as you are pointing out the errors, you can inform them that you are available for hire – what a great way to prove your worth?
In the interview, she goes into detail about…
- How beginners can get started today
- The first steps to take as you begin your professional proofreading career
- Why it is a great job for moms with babies
- What it takes to be a successful proofreader
- Whether or not you can make money at it part-time
- Where to find her free resources to help newbies
- The challenges of being a proofreader

This is a great suggestion . . . and it works. I do part-time work as a professional translator (Spanish to/from English) and I’ve found errors in books, packaging, advertisements, etc. I’ve notified the companies of the errors, and told them I’m available for translating work. More than once it’s resulted in new clients! Keep up the good work… Love your blog!
I’m a newbie blogger with some AdSense plastered on my blog. I need another source of income to pay for my coffee and internet subscription. That’s a good find for the likes of me who loves to read anyway. At least I’d get paid for doing something I quite enjoy in the first place.
Thanks.
