How to Hire a Proofreader for Free
As an internet marketer, communication via the written word ranks in the very high majority of what you will do. Writing for exposure is what it comes down to. I am not a writer by any means, and I wish I that I had the gift that so many have been born with. And that is to methodically and articulately organize and layout their words in a way that is easy to understand. But that wasn’t one of my gifts so I have to find other means of compensating for my short comings.
So you may be asking what this have to do with proofreading? Well, as I stated earlier, the majority of what we do as internet marketers is to communicate effectively with our readers in writing. And before I publish my writings I want to make sure that my t’s are crossed and my i’s are dotted. It’s very hard to be subjective on your own work.
That’s because you know what you want to say, and as you proofread your own work it is quite easy to skip over an error. Your mind knows what the paper should say so I think that you see the correct words even if they are not there. I know that I have done it many times, and it wasn’t until after publication that I noticed the goof up. I realized that no matter how hard I tried to check and correct my own writings, that there was a chance that I would fail to find any errors. The only way out of this is to get a pair of new eyes….a proofreader. But I can’t afford to have someone proof everything that I write. I needed a poor mans, or womans I should say, solution to this problem.
So I came across this neat little tool that gave me an idea. The tool is a free text to speech tool called Spoken Text. I figured if I can hear and not read my writings that I would be more apt to hear what my eyes don’t see. The tool that I use is free and not necessarily the best, but it worked for me. I use it to check my blog posts, emails, newsletter, etc. I don’t use it for any sales material as I leave that to the pros.
There are more brands offered than the one I chose. The main reason I picked this one is because it was free and it was solving an immediate problem that I was having.
Hey, sometimes you have to find round about ways of getting your tasks accomplished, and I just thought I’d pass it along to you. Have fun and I would love to know how you fare with it.
Get Your Business Started Off on the Right Path
Many people come online with the intentions of making money under the guise of it being quick and easy, and are soon dismayed when the don’t see any results. My question to you is if business is business, let it be online or offline, what makes you think that you can just jump in with little to no preparation and simply make it work? If that were the case then everyone should be rich right? For some crazy reason, people really think that all they need is a PC and internet connection, that product that they bought and boom!….money is on its way.
Well I decided to write a book to give you the real, unedited ‘no hold barred’ process of how to properly build your “virtual” brick and mortar internet business. I dispel the hype and untruths about internet marketing so that you start on a level playing field and have a fair advantage.
You know that money can be made in this business, but not like it has been portrayed. Gone are the days of sticking up a website and the money floodgates open up to you.
People are leary and cautious of spending their money and being scammed. There’s a lot of competition and savvy consumers to contend with so you must be top of your game. There is so much information available to you out on the net so I didn’t regurgitate that same information to you.
I attempted to recommend resources that are free; however there were times when that could not be achieved. I have a personal and ethical rule to only recommended resources that I think are reliable either through my own personal experience or through highly regarded people I know in this business.
