David, all smiles, holds a bag of cash: “Did you know we have a paid proofreading program? Join the program and become an official proofreader!”

Paid proofreading program

I write the whole site in French. And even in French, sometimes I leave typos behind.

The site also exists in English, Portuguese, German, Hindi, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Arabic, but those versions are translated automatically. I dunno if the translations are good or not, and I don't have time to review everything by myself.

So I'm looking for people who speak one of these languages to proofread the site and tell me what's off. It pays up to $50 for a full read-through: we set the exact amount by talking it over, just the two of us.

Official reviewers get a little badge next to their username, all over the site.

How it works

  1. Once you're picked, you read the entire site, logged in to your account, in the language you chose. Make sure your reading progress keeps updating (the ring around the chat button, bottom right): your public profile must show that you've read every page.
  2. As soon as something's off, send it to me through the chat at the bottom right. Give as much context as possible: explain as much as you can, attach up to 4 screenshots, and copy the section link with the button found on almost every section. The more precise it is, the easier it is to fix.
  3. You share the site on your social media.
  4. And I pay you what we agreed on.
