If I have provided suggested edits for your blog post, I have given them respectfully as a helpful service, not expecting any compensation. If you want to, you may freely edit your blog post using my suggestions. I am giving these suggestions at no charge, but it is my hope and intention to start a business service wherein I provide English language editing services for compensation. By providing these complimentary edits to you, I hope to gain a little advertising for my service. You may see my blog posts at steemit.com/@osopapa , or you may email me at papaoso1951@gmail.com .
I have discovered a need on Steemit, and I think I can help to meet that need. I have noticed that many who don’t speak English as a native language struggle with correct English usage in their posts. Even some native English speakers could use some help! I can assist by providing English language editing services. Anyone wishing to obtain more information may contact me by email at papaoso1951@gmail.com .
If you could use my assistance with editing the English language portions of your posts, I will be glad to help. Just send me the text for which you would like suggestions to papaoso1951@gmail.com .
But there’s a catch: I can’t really afford to do much of this for free. I need to start making a better online income, and I don’t really have much time that I can afford to give to this project without reimbursement.
On the other hand, I don’t really know how to charge for my services just yet. Here’s what I have come up with: Strictly as an introductory offer, for a limited time only, I will provide my editing services to you and let you decide how much to pay me after you see the results. You can transfer STEEM or SBD to my account based on the value of my work to you. If you are a poor minnow like me, and can’t pay me with STEEM or SBD, then just help me to get more work by posting favorable reviews, comments, likes, links, resteems, etc. Even a notice at the bottom of your blog post something like “English language editing by OsoPapa, email papaoso1951@gmail.com ” would be helpful whether you are reimbursing me with STEEM or SBD, or not.
Please be aware, however, that for future editing requests, I may consider how well you have compensated me in the past, given your relative ability to pay. But also know that, if you help me get started, I can be very loyal.
I can give you suggested edits without comments or explanations somewhat easily. If you want my comments to help you learn better English or to understand why I have made the changes, that takes much more time, and the compensation should consider my investment of time. On the other hand, you will learn correct English usage much more quickly if you have the comments.
In closing, I want to provide this disclaimer: I am not a scholar of the English language. I was not even an English major in college. I will not promise that my suggested edits will always be 100% technically correct. Nobody could do that anyway: Even college professors sometimes disagree on the fine points of the language. I do have considerable experience, however, in writing professionally under the supervision of some very tough editors! I am confident that my work product will stand on its own merits.
Please contact me at papaoso1951@gmail.com . If you will send me the text that you want edited, I will get the suggested edits back to you as soon as I can, hopefully in less than 24 hours.
Thank you for reading my Blog post. Don't forget to follow me, promote me, and like, reply, and resteem.
