Low pay, high demand - Freelance Copyeditor bei FirstEditing.Com: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I get recognition as an elite, experienced editor with one of the longest-standing online editing companies. The company provided additional editorial training, and I achieved certification as a developmental editor. Best of all, I am supported by client account managers who provide answer calls for customer service, so I get to focus on just editing.

Providing samples for clients requires that I have to prove myself again and again as an editor. (I get a bonus for this work, but it is honestly not huge financially.) Also, I work online which can be lonely.

Allowed me to get a job with minimal credentials.

Editors get 30% of what the client pays. There is no way 70% of income is needed for overhead. Clients think they're getting a reliable service, but they'd be better off contacting reputable editors directly. Editors are encouraged to persuade clients into paying for professional editing when, in many cases, the client's project needs much more than a simple grammar check. Clients and editors are not allowed to communicate directly, which isn't good for anyone. I could go on.
