Steemgig: English proofreading

Hi, I am Gary - known as @gmuxx around these parts and I am quite new to steemit.

<center>![IMG_0244.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmemBrLxh2FgAxYQDM6EnLNET7f8Asgpo61aEKNfKAi9ek/IMG_0244.JPG)</center>

I thought I would gauge if there is any interest in me proof reading non-native English speakers' posts or videos?

# Why did I think this might be a good idea?
#

Yesterday I ran across [THIS POST](https://steemit.com/steemit/@gabrielmrpr/my-first-steemit-video-presenting-steemit-to-the-world#@gabrielmrpr/re-gmuxx-re-gabrielmrpr-re-gmuxx-re-gabrielmrpr-my-first-steemit-video-presenting-steemit-to-the-world-20170525t171215386z) by @gabrielmrpr where he shared a video he had made extolling the virtues of steemit. Although it was a great video as I watched it I saw several spelling mistakes and poor grammar. I offered to proof read it and he gladly accepted my help.

I have since wondered if this might be a service in demand on steemit, especially since I ran across the #steemgigs hashtag 😀

To be clear: this IS NOT a translation service: I will check your spelling, grammar and context and offer corrections.

# OK, how much?
#
Cheap, very cheap. Or not. Basically whatever **YOU** think is appropriate steem donation or whatever you can afford - I'm not greedy.

I can be contacted either on here or email me at Gmuxx@protonmail.com where we can discuss your needs.

Please resteem if you think this would be useful to other Steemians!

Actually very innovative and useful idea! 
I'm sure you'll have a good market , I see a fair number of Indian/Indonesian posters who would probably love something like this

Good one - I know @velimir was chatting with me about proofreading software - however human proofreading might be also an option - feel free to connect with him @gmuxx @steemgigs

Hi @gmuxx. I was going to start a general proofreading service, because of the common errors that you come across that detract from the content and from what the typer is trying to portray. So I searched for @proofreader, but no Steemit accounts came up, although there was a link to this post, so I read it :). 

I was also going to charge exactly the same as you requested - donations. Do you do this for any posts or just non-native English speakers' posts? Are you still doing this? I hope that you don't mind me asking, but I would like to offer this service as I have a lot of time to spare and will be investing a lot of it on Steemit, so I think it would be a positive addition to the Steemit community, as you do.

Please let me know if you feel my offer might not be required and that'd be fine, as I 'm just doing the groundwork, so to speak, before charging ahead.

All the best @gmuxx and I hope that you do still offer this service as I completely get where you are coming from.
