Freelancing: Proofreading Jobs websites
Let’s look at some freelancing sites first, because the competition may be a bit higher on these websites but the amount and quality of legit work you get here are superb, completion is the small price to pay for its legitimacy and quality.
We will soon, release an article on how to start freelancing and what are the easiest niches to start within freelancing, what platform you should start with, and how to create a perfect resume and profile to get more gigs.
Please wait for that it will be published soon.
Also, freelancing sites is what you should go with if you want to receive regular projects as well as take your skill to a different level and become a highly paid proofreader or editor, I have also shared the examples and min-max pay of a proofreader and editor in the previous article of Online Proofreading Jobs.
Upwork:
A freelancing platform that connects individual freelancer candidates to business directly and provides a variety of niches to start with. Upwork is a bidding-based platform where you create a catchy profile with good images and bio and your previous work portfolio for better chances of winning the bids.
The filter option is a lot different on Upwork than other freelancing platforms, you can create a free account quickly and see it for yourself, you will find many different options to filter freelancers as well as the jobs available there.
One trick to standing out from the crowd is to change the bio and optimize it according to specific filtered results and apply to only those filtered results for quick approval because that way your profile will be optimized to meet the exact requirements of the job provider.
Fiverr:
Fiverr is currently the leading freelancing platform for all sorts of gigs (projects on Fiverr) available with millions of monthly traffic tons of orders plus a negative: a lot of competition as well.
I have seen a lot of completion in the Graphic Desing niche, that is where I started on Fiverr by learning photoshop for just one month (LMAO, naive act thinking I would be rich as a kid).
Now, this is not a bidding site though, there is a limited number of chances it allows users to send proposals directly to the jobs listed, but the working way is to create a profile, and seekers will find and choose you based on your profile and past work.
If you don’t have any reviews and portfolios don’t worry, there is an option to upload a video on Fiverr in your profile and that is a great way to present your gig to the public and get orders quicker.
Fiverr takes 20% of the earnings you make, which is quite high than other platforms that add their fee on top of your fees and charge it from the clients and not the freelancers.
Freelancer.com
Freelancer.com is similar to the first sites listed, Upwork.com you too here have to create a good profile and add a lot of photos and previously done projects unlike Fiverr where you have the option to upload 1 video and 3 photos of your own only, and the rest of the images you see on others profile, they’re the testimonials presented with consent of the owner.
In freelancer, you have the option to upgrade your bids, and place your bids highlighted or above all to get noticed fast with paid plans, they have 3 plans based on the benefits they provide you.
I won’t recommend you purchasing any paid plans unless you have money to waste or good experience with the skill you want to work with.
These are the top freelancing sites you should start with, other freelancing sites include Guru.com, people per hour, Flexjobs, and many more.
Online sites other than Freelancing
There are many sites other than freelancing sites that offer you proofreading jobs and editing jobs and pay you hourly or on a per-project basis, many of these sites are free to sign up and have specific criteria to work and rate your work at the beginning for ensuring the quality of work.
Most of these sites will not ask you for any qualification or portfolio, however, they all have TESTS inside the dashboard area, where you can gain ratings bypassing those TESTS to ensure quality work and showcase your basic skills of Proofreading and editing.
