Preliminary search for a Freelance Editor/Proofreader

I am the owner of a new startup involved in the Cryptocurrency space. Currently we’re at the stage where we will be needing a Editor/Proofreader soon, to start with some Freelance work on a per article/paper basis. So, I’m making a preemptive post to start sorting through potential prospects to have on hand when we’re ready in a few weeks.

The job would be to read through, edit, and proofread articles/video scripts/other written material. As we are currently a startup, we will begin on a as needed, per piece/article basis. The details of per hour or per article basis will be discussed, however we will be paying quality rates for good work.

This is a real preliminary search for experienced content editor/proofreaders, so the pay will appropriate for the work. Please understand we are looking for real experienced editors with work history in the field. We’re not looking in to hiring work from just anyone off the street who doesn’t really have any experience/background/ degree’s etc. We’re looking for professionals. So please, we’re only accepting resumes from experienced professionals that are looking for some freelance work.

I’m posting here first before extending the job search to other more reputable job sources as we are very much looking to find proofreaders and editors that have a knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies. Although not entirely important for an Editor, it will help us with relevance and continuity having a competent editor who is knowledgable and interested in the Cryptocurrency space.

Native English or a Native English competency level is an absolute requirement.

High level punctuation, grammar, English skills.

High level editing skills, checking writing for clarity, flow, and general readability. Rearranging or even rewrite sentences when necessary. More broadly, look at the overall structure of the work and make suggestions if you see areas that may need improvement. Abbreviations, capitalization, numbers, headings, etc.

Ability to complete projects on time and on budget.

Familiarity with online content, formatting, and writing styles.

Familiarity with research, link building, and image implementation.

While we are beginning with Freelance work, as we grow we will have a need for continuous work. Further off down the line, finding people to fill the slot for part/full-time work is the goal. So if growth is an interest to you, it is something we are looking to having expansion into.

Writing and content creation abilities are a bonus as well. In time we will have a need for further writing and content creating. Not to mention if we’re in a pinch, having an extra writer on hand is never a bad thing.

We have a few pieces of work ready in a backlog, but the first job will most likely start in a few weeks when our website is finalized. So this is a introductory search to find a few people to have on hand when we’re ready to begin the editing, finalizing, and posting process in a few weeks. The submitting your resume please include previous works, and expected pay ranges on a per article/per word/per hour basis as you prefer and see fit.

Please, serious inquiries only.

College students with experience, feel free to apply as well, we welcome you! Resume, previous works, and some recommendations might be necessary.



Message me first if interested and Ill give you email to submit your information to.

Thanks everyone for your time.

Basically just curiosity, I've built business's of my own surrounding Cryptocurrencies starting a few years back. There used to be all sorts of people communicating about their awesome idea's of stuff they were working on building. I am not an active user on here in recent years, so I'm interested in seeing what people are building nowadays, see if theres anything interesting going on and new developments in the space from Entrepreneurs. Maybe chat a bit with other creatives working on stuff right now!

I’m interested to hear from the Entrepreneurs and creatives here in this industry.



If you have built or are building a business that involves Bitcoin or Cryptocurrencies, what type of business or business’s are they? If so, what creative things have you been working on, what problems primarily are you focused on solving with your business? What is the biggest issue you have currently in your path to creating or maintaining your business/idea?



Anyone have success with a business or idea and are generating a profitable revenue stream? If yes, then what would you describe as your biggest success and what do you see as your biggest problem on your path to continuing your success? If no, whats stopping you from success, what do you see as your failure points/struggles?

To all those that mentioned they make purchases for various things, would you care to share actual websites you visit? Sharing the names/links. The purpose of my post was to get people discussing about where they transact and to make a recommendation of where they do like to visit so that other users can see new places where they can transact where they've never known they could before. Which, if you look in this thread you can see there are quite a few people posting in just this thread alone  that don't really know anywhere at all that they can go to transact with their cryptocurrency's.  So to all who mentioned what they like to make purchases on, could you make direct recommendations of what those sites are that you like to visit?

 That was the purpose here, I gave one of my recommendations with Gyft  website.  So all of us to know where we can transact with our cryptocurrency's, let's help out those in this thread and that may read this thread find places where they can actually make purchases and utilize their cryptocurrency.

This is actually a good one because this is actually a primary purpose behind my post, a lot of people don't know how or where they can use cryptos to make purchases in daily life! So I'm trying to maybe get a list of some new sites together for users out there that currently don't know where they could be utilizing it as a currency like it should be! Great response thank you.

I have a good recommendation for you, i'll give out one of my favorite sites to visit for cryptocurrency purchases, Gyft.com. You can purchase all sorts of different companies gift cards using bitcoin, all done quickly and can even be done on mobile app on your phone. They have a bunch of different large brand companies on there like eBay and others. Great gateway for using your cryptocurrency to make a purchase at most retailers even if they don't accept cryptocurrency. They don't charge any fee's either. ~ I'm in no way affiliated with them, just giving out one of my resources to help you know where you can make bitcoin purchases!

What do you use cryptocurrencies most often for? If you thought about what cryptocurrency you use the most and what your favorite/most often use case is for it, what would it be? Obviously if it's private and you don't wish to share that's fine, I'm just curious to see what's being used and where people go most often for purchases, maybe pick up some new websites to visit for stuff I haven't found yet, or just share some places with other users who don't know many places to spend at.

What would the websites be, or physical places you visit for your purchases? Anybody offer discounts for cryptocurrencies or anything special? Like, what is the drive that gets you to get and use cryptocurrency for a purchase over a credit card. Special things you can only buy with crypto's or special discounts or anything, or just for the ease of transferring funds mostly?


----Edit---- Adding an edit here, thank you everyone thats posting.

 That was the purpose here, I gave one of my recommendations with Gyft  website.  So all of us to know where we can transact with our cryptocurrency's, let's help out those in this thread and that may read this thread find places where they can actually make purchases and utilize their cryptocurrency.

On either of these two sites, or whatever sites may use, what would you guys say would be the single most important piece to you guys personally? For example, you only had the ability to share with someone one single article/video/post  and you wanted it to be the most important one,  which one would that be?

Is there any specific post you can cite, if you had to describe to someone the singular most impactful piece in your learning experience?

Well I never mentioned specifically learning what, because as I mentioned I'm not asking for myself for resources to learn.  I have my own information and resources, I'm asking in the context of your learning. Whatever your learning curve was,  and what specific resource such as a article/video/podcast episode, would you define as a golden gem for one of the most impactful pieces of information that you had during your learning experience. And again, the phrase "learning experience"  applies to you individually and whatever it may mean to you. If one of the most important pieces of info to you in your learning experience had to do with coding than what was it, or if it was in relation to applications built on blockchains,  or whatever context it may have been for you what would you say is a single most valuable piece of info that you've come across.  The point is sort of to gather a list of highly valuable resources pertaining to all different areas of crypto, some that may be new to me, that can be shared with other users especially beginners.

I'd like to know what you guys use as your main resources for learning all things crypto? Not the typical rundown like, r/Bitcoin, BitcoinTalk.org, etc. but an actual source that you go to for the majority of your information?



For example, if you had to say there was one place that you went to find all your most useful information when you were learning, or even now, what would you say that source is? If I were to say to you, I'll pay you $XXXX for your golden goose website/information funnel what would be your primetime, your most valuable source, that you would give and believe is valuable enough? And if it is forms like BitcoinTalk, etc. where specifically, not just "oh I go to BitcoinTalk" what parts of the forms do you frequent the most, and where do you think you find the most valuable information specifically, throughout your learning experience. What specific posts, videos, audios, etc. were critical in your learning experience and provided you with the most value above all else?



Also, what do you enjoy/ find yourself researching or learning about the most? Why?



I asked these questions of you guys not because I'm looking for the information, as I've been involved with crypto for a long while and have a lot of my own resources. I'm just curious what other people have found most valuable. And if you would share it, as I'd like to see if we as a community use a lot of the same resources that are most impactful to us and if I can share these new resources with other beginning users to help them and be more impactful to their learning experience.

Thank you for your words. As you say "Whenever I have any doubt, I do google search" can you remeber times when you have done this and what those issues/doubts were that had you research on then? Im searching to find out what are the things that people struggle with learning or get stuck on 

So would you say that you have found an understanding/answers to those questions that you mentioned?

Do you feel that there could have been a better or faster solution VS. bitcointalk?  More helpful and complete guidance through guides/video tutorials/ courses etc.  Instead of the Bitcointalk  searching all over the place for bits and pieces of information on different threads?  I feel there is a big lacking in this.

 What do you feel you are trying to learn specifically about the market and how works? What are you getting stuck on, what are you trying to learn and understand? Maybe I can help answer some of these questions for you

Well, the point of my post wasn't actually centered around "bear market". So whatever phrase you want to use, downturn, price lowered, correction, etc. The idea is more about helping new users on their learning curve about cryptocurrency, mentioning the current stance on the market as a good time to be more concerned about helping and teaching then just putting money in and investing. Since many people have lost money. So in general I'm just questioning what you may have struggled with in your learning experience when you were first learning about cryptocurrency's, and what insights you may have on your particular struggles from the past, because I find that one of the fastest assistant's in learning something is learning what others people's problems were and how they fixed them.  I feel it helps to prevent a lot of people from going through the same process, potentially getting stuck on the same things, when that can be prevented through knowledge shared by others that have gone through those experiences.

So to the question again that I was originally attempting to propose, what struggles can you remember or barriers or any particular type of hindrance in your learning curve, and what did you do to solve that, or what would you have liked to see existed to solve that issue more easily?

So, when you began learning about cryptocurrency can you remember any big things that you may have gotten stuck on understanding for a bit? What were the most difficult things for you about cryptocurrency and learning about it when you first started to follow this space?

Do you feel the main use of cryptocurrency is to follow the market and learning charts/TA to trade? Would you consider any deeper knowledge on any other areas of Crypto, or just on the trading side is where you focus?

So, I have a friend who I managed to get involved in the cryptocurrency industry around the middle of 2018, explaining all use cases to him and how the current bear market is actually the best time to start learning although not investing in the industry. For the last six months or so, he’s been spending a decent amount of time per week learning about crypto on his own also using resources that I’ve given him. He’s also begun to involve his family, wife, and even extended family in learning about this. Now I have no reservations in bringing him on board, or him bringing his family on board, because I gave a strict understanding to him not to invest with money but to invest with time. As I believe it’s very important to invest as much time as possible in understanding this new technology rather than just jumping in and investing a bunch of money that you may lose. Also, I truly believe that the benefits of investing time to learn and understand this technology will become more profitable in the future, as this technology begins to square itself away and improve for the masses.

So to get onto the main reason why I’m posting, during my friend’s learning process and by extension his family’s learning process, they come to me whenever they have questions they don’t seem to easily find answers to themselves. And it’s funny because in this experience I basically see the exact same type of questions from different people asked me in varying ways, and I find it funny that each one of them basically come up with the same questions and rather than communicating to each other they all end up individually asking the same questions.

So my question to you guys, is when you began learning about cryptocurrency, what were some of the biggest questions/ problems that you had during the learning process? How did you solve or answer these questions? And if you could go back to when you were learning, what do you think or wish would’ve existed to help speed up your learning and understanding journey?

Also, post a question that you may have now about the crypto currency as a technology or an economic system that you may not understand currently and want an answer to.

Repost from Reddit

Hey guys,



I got a few questions, i'm interested in knowing what people in the crypto industry may be worried about. What fears do you have in regards to crypto?



What would you say is in the back of your mind and pops up at times, a concern you have in the industry? What is it that makes you worry at times?



In all industries and markets there's certain concerns and fears pertaining to different issues, i'm curious to know what people fear in the crypto industry? Why?



What are your pain points in the crypto world?



If the answer is the obvious, afraid it goes to $0 etc.. then tell me why? what impact would that have on you, give me a explanation of what effect that has on you and in what way it concerns you, beyond just going to $0? I'm wanting to understand what the fears and impacts on people lives are in the crypto industry, obviously losing money because it goes to $0 and you become broke is an issue, but why? Explain it a bit more to me if thats your answer.

What do you hope to achieve here in the cryptocurrency industry? What do you hope to achieve through accomplishing those goals? 



I’m interested to know what everyone here is looking for in regards to cryptocurrency, what keeps you involved here on forums/motivated to learn etc. Everyones got some type of goal they’re hoping to accomplish, I’m interested to hear what is it you hope to achieve and what dreams you have in regards to cryptocurrency. If you had to define a dream you have in regards to the cryptocurrency market or your own personal dreams in regards to the industry I’d love to learn about what they are.



What is it that motivated you to learn about cryptocurrency in the first place, and what is it that keeps you here now?

Whats stopping you or currently in your way to achieving the things you're hoping for?

I’m very curious about these things I would love to know what everyone hopes to achieve, what goals they have that keep them involved and interested, what you hope to accomplish or see be accomplished!



Thanks everyone for reading let me know what drives you and gets you going here in the crypto industry!

This information here coincides with my current understandings of one of the biggest issues impeding new users. Would you care to further explain your situation? How recently did you become interested in learning about cryptocurrency?

When you were introduced, was this forum your primary means of learning bitcoin? What do you find so difficult in your current learning quest? Which parts and why?

What have you currently tried to fix this issue you're having? Has anything worked? What do you believe would be a help to solve this issue for you? Do you think other users suffer from this same issue?
