“Unlock the Secrets: Transform Your Editing Skills into a Thriving Freelance Career!”
3. Setting yourself up as a freelancer
If you’re already confident in your editing skills, and have some experience already, I recommend going it alone. There are several freelance sites where you can bid on editing projects, like Guru, Freelancer, or Upwork. You can also make your own website. The competition is fierce, and you’ll have to know a lot about search engines, website ranking and traffic in order to succeed via this route.
However, if you are the only editor for your business, you might not need a lot of work anyway. How to make a successful editing site? Start out with your education, background, and experience. You can either decide to go “personal” ie. “Laura Smith’s Editing Company” or commercial “XYZ editing and proofreading company.” Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
