How To Make Money Proofreading

Freelance writing??? How to start?

Now first of all I ain’t an experienced writer. I’ve been writing for myself, But I sure CAN write good. My grades testify the fact. :P

Anyways I am not a graduate either. (and I know you are like, “WOW! Dis is some loser!!” right now.) :P Im in my final year, doing English Honours from Delhi University. So, yeah. Due to some financial troubles, I want to start with freelance writing, Or with Data entry. Or Proofreading.

Yea I AM desperate. And I tried browsing some sites but most of ‘em looked like SCAMS and all other need “ONLY EXPERIENCED WRITERS”! :(

How or Where should I start? Please help me out. I can make it, I assure you. I just need a start. Like a place where a beginner is respected. I am not seeking any ‘serious money’ right at the start. I will even work for peanuts, but please, help me out people!! :( :/

The Frugal Freelancer blog – http://frugalfreelancer-freelanceliving.blogspot.com/ – has many resources for all types of aspiring freelance writers and photographers. Be sure to scroll down to the bottom for lists and links.

I would recommend – Demand Studios, Seed and Suite101 (I have written articles for each site). Some people make quite a good living writing online content. Personally I just dabble and it gives me spending money to take the kids out or splurge once a month.
