Having excellent writing skills, command of language and ability to zoom in on details allows one to make extra income as an online proofreader.
What is proofreading? An adequate understanding of proofreading is necessary to carry out its necessary tasks. The definition of proofreading is reading through a piece of text to discover and rectify punctuation, spelling, and grammar mistakes.
Proofreading is concerned with the outside aspects of language. Any proofreading definition should cover all of the surface language and presentation errors that a person could commit.
Here are several tips to make proofreading easy:
Planning - Give sufficient time to run through everything before the deadline.
Change up the reading style - reading it on paper gives a "fresh" perspective.
Use Computer help - Grammarly and other tools do wonders.
Check References - Ensure to check citations before submission
Stay Fresh - Take a break once in a while.

There is a considerable demand for proofreaders thanks to the digital world.
Self-publishers have to look after every phase of the book publishing process themselves: from proofreading and editing to cover design and marketing. They are likely to need to outsource some of this work to professionals.
There is also a tremendous amount of content published online every day. These online authors outsource their proofreading work to professionals because they want their audience's trust.
The essential work of proofreaders is to purge errors of grammar, punctuation, spelling, word choices, spacing, and formatting.
Some proofreaders step up their services by not only analyzing for errors but also performing fact-checking, research, and even ensuring plagiarism is avoided.
Here are several types of work which have unique proofreading requirements:
Print Media
This type of work mainly entails the checking of formatting, spelling or grammar errors.
Academic
This type of work would also require sense checks as well as checks for academic style such as referencing/citing.
Translations
This type of work also has to consider meaning. The original source file has to be checked to ensure the intended meaning has been conveyed correctly.
Inclusion of everything promised
If the content list promised ‘7 ways to do something’, make sure the seven points are there. If there is a direction for the reader to see the appendix, ensure the appendix is there.
Consistency
Consistency is the key to a professional-looking document.
Justification
If there is a justification of text, check that it is applied to the whole document consistently.
Page contents
Are the pages in the correct order?
Have the mindset of seeing it as a fresh, novel writing to proofread a paragraph. Here are some ways to do just that:
Read the material aloud.
Read aloud the text to catch mistakes such as writing “for” rather than “if” or “of”.
Check the first sentence. The beginning of a story garners much attention.
Check the last sentence. Refrain from impatience and ensure that no mistakes are made in the final act.
Review the font size, margins, type or colours. These small details are interpreted by readers subconsciously.
Editing and proofreading have different functions and are appropriate at different stages of the process. Editing provides a chance to make the writing better, while proofreading is to make the writing perfect just before submission.
Ideally, a writer would get an editing service first before a final proofread session just before publication.
There are several methods to search for proofreading work, determined by the kind of job that is sought after.
Freelancers would actively market themselves, while those seeking employment would mostly be responding to positions posted on job ads or newspapers.
Use various search terms and keywords for finding proofreading employment jobs or for finding work-at-home jobs.
Some people say that the average number of words that can be proofread in the medicinal field is about 1000 words. Other editors say that an average is about six pages an hour (with double spacing). However, this depends on the quality of the text as well.
Before publishing a business document, a proofreader is required to ensure that the document communicates the message as clear as possible. The proofreader will ensure the document is well-written in its structure and presentation, free of errors in terms of spelling, punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary choice.
Some proofreading tips would be to inculcate good habits and rational processes. Perhaps you can proofread your work in a funky cafe or at the beach - try to go to a cafe to give the brain a new environment.
