 |

I am looking for an in-home work position proofreading web sites. You would not need to give me any of your passwords or codes. I would read your web site for any errors whether they are spelling or grammar mistakes.
As a Christian woman, I will not read nor entertain working for anyone who owns any adult or profane web sites. Any such requests will be refused.
Once I've read your pages, I will send you an email stating where your errors are. You will, in turn, pay me through my PayPal account or with Postal or Viable Money Orders or Cashiers' Checks. My pay will be discussed once I receive your email, which is how, initially, you will contact me. If you would prefer, I will call you. Payment will be discussed then. My premise is to be paid weekly.
A web site with errors is not taken as seriously as one without them. So if you are selling items, and you have wondered why you aren't receiving as many orders as you would like or your business opportunity isn't being taken seriously, the problem could very well be spelling and or grammar errors. I do not, however, guarantee your sales will increase nor your business grow due to my corrections.
You would be amazed at how many people have told me they wouldn't buy from or sign up for a business opportunity because of these errors on, what is, otherwise, an exceptional web site.
Why keep losing customers or that next great sales person because of errors? Let me glean them for you so, then, you can continue with the business of being successful. That is why you built your web site in the first place, isn't it?
Some times we have to take our own initiative to realize our successes. I read the book, "Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow" by Author, Marsha Sinetar. Since my passion is surfing the internet, I thought, why not get paid for my abilities? After all, I spend over 40 hrs. on the internet each week. I might as well get paid for, at least, some of my time. I spent many hours in college preparing me to be a proofreader.
I took English I, English II, and English III and three English Composition courses so I am well qualified with a 3.5 average in English Composition as well as almost all A's in English. I also have materials at my fingertips to find information if I have any questions regarding whether something I read is correct or not. Generally, though, I see mistakes almost immediately. They just seem to jump right off of the page. On my own store page, I have written something to give you an idea of my positive outlook.
"My own motto is: "What you do today determines your tomorrows."
I desire to help you be your own success for brighter tomorrows.
I live in Robbinsdale, MN., which is close to N.E. Minneapolis. |
