029: How this work-from-home mom built confidence and financial security as a transcript proofreader. Interview with Nerissa Hall
What if it does work out?
Ever wondered if you could actually make money proofreading? If you’ve been searching for a way to earn income from home — without giving up your flexibility — this episode is for you.
I’m chatting with Nerissa Hall, a proofreader, entrepreneur, and mom who went from working at a sheriff’s department to building a work-from-home business on her own terms. Her story proves that success isn’t about luck — it’s about learning a skill, taking action, and making it work for you.
In this episode, we cover:
✔ How she transitioned from transcribing to proofreading (and why proofreading was the better choice!)
✔ Why financial security isn’t about a 9-5 job — it’s about having skills you can rely on
✔ The power of starting small, taking daily action, and building something that fits your life
If you’ve ever thought, Could I actually do this, this episode will give you the nudge you need.

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?
