How often do you read a book or a newspaper and become frustrated with the spelling, grammar, or layout mistakes?  If you are one of those people then maybe you should consider proofreading jobs at home.  There are, in fact, a number of home-based proofreading jobs available.  You just need to know where to look for those jobs and how to distinguish between the legitimate jobs and scams.

First you need to determine if you have what it takes to become a proofreader.  Do you have an eye for detail?  Proofreading is a job that requires an above average grasp of language, grammar, and vocabulary.  You need to understand how words are supposed to be placed on a page.  To qualify for proofreading jobs at home, though, you also need to have an understanding of basic proofreading symbols, styles of writing, and printing requirements.  A good proofreader works with all of these factors.

If you feel like you have some of the skills for proofreading jobs at home, but are unsure just how good your skills may be, then you may want to consider taking some proofreading tests online.  There are also classes that will help you develop the skills to become a professional proofreader.  The more you practice, the better your skills will become.  Many of these classes also offer resources to find proofreading jobs at home.

When you feel that you have enough skills built up to proofread professionally, then you can start looking for proofreading jobs at home.  There are a number of resources you can use to find these jobs.  There are specific resources that focus directly on proofreading and editing, but you can also find proofreading jobs on journalism, writing, and other websites.

Besides general job boards, you may also find proofreading jobs through publishing companies, magazines, newspapers and more.  It may take more digging to find proofreading jobs at home, as many of the big employers of proofreaders require your presence in the office several days a week.  Still, that does not mean that the home-based jobs are not to be found.

The other obstacle to proofreading jobs at home is the common proofreading scam.  Some companies will post “jobs” online luring people interested in proofreading.  They then require a “sample page” from each applicant.  In a proofreading scam the sample pages are actually manuscript pages, and it is a way for a company to basically get the pages proofread for free.  While both legitimate companies and scams may require these sample pages, it is hard to know when you are looking at a scam versus a legitimate job.  Therefore, you should research any companies to which you apply.

Still, despite the run-ins with scams, there are plenty of proofreading jobs at home to be had.  You just need to be patient.  You can look at freelancing your services to companies that may not need a full-time proofreader.  As you develop your client base you will find that you can take your love of words and turn it into a full-time career.
