Proofreading is something that not just anyone does well. That's why some people are paid to do it for us, people with experience in proofreading and/or some kind of formal education, such as a distance learning course in proofreading.
However, if you're a prolific writer, hiring a proofreader to review your content can become expensive. In order to make more efficient use of your proofreader, some tips are to: allow some time between writing and proofreading. Proofread your own work at your most alert time of the day. Read your work out loud. Use spell check. Proofread your text for only one type of error until moving on to another one. Take notes on your most common errors.
