Top Proofreading related questions
The data shows that Taskers are typically earning between $20 and $72 per job, with a median price of around $40. However, the price can vary significantly depending on the length and complexity of the document. For example, a quick proofread might be at the lower end, while a long document, such as a 19000 words needing to be proofread task, can earn you as much as $450.
The most common requests are for proof reading and editing. Our data shows that customers are looking for help with a variety of documents, including a resume and visa statements. Customers often use phrases like Australian English Proof reading to specify the kind of proofreading they need.
You can increase your earnings by offering a bundled service that combines multiple skills. Many customers need more than just a proofread; they also need editing and proofread submission. By offering a package that includes both services, you can attract higher-value jobs. Specializing in specific document types, such as academic manuscript or NDIS DOCUMENTATION, can also help you stand out.
The demand for proofreading tasks is highest in Victoria and New South Wales. You’ll find a high concentration of tasks in cities like Melbourne and Sydney. Because these tasks are often remote, you can offer your services to customers in any location, but these areas tend to post more jobs.
The demand for proofreading tasks is fairly consistent throughout the year. However, our data shows slight peaks in April and September. These months may be related to academic or business cycles, so keep an eye out for an increase in demand around these times.
Customers need help with a wide variety of documents. The data shows requests for a Partner Visa Statement, a policy brief infographic, and an academic manuscript. They often need both editing and proof reading. Highlighting your experience with these specific documents and services in your profile and proposals will help you win more jobs.
