But how do you know which type of proofreading is best for you?
There’s general proofreading, which focuses on books, blogs, papers, and more. And there’s transcript proofreading, which focuses on verbatim legal transcripts.
Both work with words, but they’re both very different when it comes to how and what you proofread, the clients you work for, and the skill and experience you need to be successful.
So which one’s the perfect money-making match for you?
Turning typos into cash as a proofreader sounds intriguing, right?
