Making money and working from home gives people a fantastic feeling of freedom. Nothing beats it! Freelance proofreading is one of the best ways to work from home and make some extra money. Nobody really thinks that they could make money reading and correcting peoples written work!

The thing is that there is actually a pretty high demand for proofreaders all over the world. If you have a computer then you can perform proofreading work anywhere on the globe. For anyone anywhere in the world!

Are you good at spotting mistakes on menu’s? How about mistakes in this short article ? With proofreading you can have the pleasure of reading exciting stuff and polishing it to a fine sheen for the author.

Proofreading is not for everyone. You have to have an attention to detail that most people lack. I would be a terrible proofreader – I only focus on the bigger picture stuff and ignore the details.

Freelance proofreading can be quite well paid if you are good at it. I have a few friends in the proofreading industry and they actually make good money. One of them makes $50,000 a year and the other one has earned $100 per hour as a proofreader (for her toughest jobs!). Many people are making more than this as well!

Caitlin Pyle, a millionaire freelance proofreader, has a great course called Transcript Proofreading Theory and Practice that can help you get started with the potentially lucrative field of proofreading. That article is written by my friend (Stephanie) who is a professional freelance proofreader from implementing what she learned in the course. Her whole life changed after becoming a freelance proofreader!

Another story that is inspiring is that a successful student of Caitlin’s course (a woman named Alicia) was able to make over $1000 within a month of finishing the course. She was even working full-time as well! Alicia is not some English degree graduate – far from it, she is an accountant! The course is expensive (around $300) but that is a small investment in your business. One client and that $300 will seem like the best investment ever!

There are so many work from home job opportunities online. I recently published an article about how to become a successful virtual assistant from a guest poster that has made a career out of working for bloggers online. She makes a full-time living from her bedroom and can pick the jobs she wants to do! Life can be great!

Hopefully these ideas will change your life the way they changed my friends!
