Freelance editors can work at home when they have time. Editors work with large companies or webmaster that need help proofreading the content they put on their websites. There are always people looking for editors to proof e-books, press release, sales letters and even content that is supply by multiple numbers of writers. Editor positions range in pay from $10 an hour to almost $40 an hour. This depends on the size of the project and the company or person who hires you.

As an editor, you will be asked to proofread many different documents. You can work for one particular company or you could find jobs through bidding sites.

These jobs are priced higher because they usually require a degree in journalism, but this is not always true if you have experience with a proven record of accomplishment.
