Need 2-3 native US/UK ppl

    I write everyday about 3-4 articles of 400 words, in some of them i make grammar errors or sentence structure is wrong sometimes. I need someone which lives in US/UK, knows perfectly English language and can help me by correcting the articles.

    An article shouldn't take more than 5 minutes ... I can pay for each corrected article about 0,3$. It's an easy job! And if I see you do a good job I rise that amount.

    PM me if you are interested! Only native US/UK english speakers

    I love proofreading and would like to give you a hand, but not at that rate. If you do consider raising it, then let me know.

    Secondly, I'm curious to know how you arrived at 5 minutes to correct a 400-word article (and how you consider it to be an easy job). Has that been your experience?

    take care...

    @isaa For that article it's just a simple procedure of correction mostly usage of verbal times ... i don't do too many errors and for that i'm saying it shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes. I will respond to PM's I received as faster as I can

    I agree with nim3. How did you come up with that pay rate? It is ridiculously low for anyone to even bother with. You will get what you pay for, unfortunately.

    @nim3 - $1 a page is certainly better.

    @MovieWizhard - Thanks for replying. If you're assuming it's that simple and that fast, why not take it on yourself? It would take you no time at all to go through them regardless of your schedule. Proofreading isn't just a matter of reading through an article, such as freelance writing isn't simply a matter of just writing. It entails a lot more than that.

    You mentioned you 'don't do too many errors', but with all due respect, if your posts are anything to go by, then I beg to differ.

    In anycase, good luck.

    I'm out.

    $0.30 for a 400 word article read over? I could do it at $2 for you per article.
