Writer or copy editor

A writing or copy editing position is a job that doesn’t require a degree in English or literature. If you come from an English-speaking country and speak and write English fluently, then you have a good chance of getting employed for a writing or copy editing job. But it is also important to note that being a copy editor requires a certain level of experience as technical skill is involved.

Proofreading can be very a tedious task, especially if it involves editing dozens of pages or articles every day. When it comes to annual salaries, writers or editors with no work experience earn between $50,000 to $52,000 per year.

Companies that hire writers and copy editors typically cater to clients with publishing or website content needs. You also should know that search engine optimization (SEO) is now an integral part of online content creation but it shouldn’t stop you from submitting an application since it is not a requirement from most companies.
