4. Proofreading
Proofreading definitely deserves to be on our list of 7 freelance jobs from home without investment. Similar to translation, in order to become a proofreader, your language skills must be excellent, and you must be able to spot for any errors and correct them. It might be a little bit more demanding than the previous jobs on our list since your work must be flawless. Your job is to read a manuscript and finish the final stage before publishing, and that means detecting and correcting all errors that the author possibly made. Again, as with translation, the duration of work depends on the type of project, so the time you will spend working is not precise. Pay rate can be fixed, or you can set your own price.
