WORK FROM HOME HIRING – $46/TASK NON-VOICE

(And yes, you can apply from the Philippines!)

Are you looking for a work-from-home opportunity that doesn’t require speaking on calls, just strong English skills, good attention to detail, and a computer with internet? If so, then this one might be worth your time.

What is the job?

The company ProofreadingServices.com is a remote-editing/proofreading firm which states that they hire proofreaders/editors from any country in the world.

On their “Careers” page they mention:

• “Competitive pay ranging from USD 19 to 46 per hour depending on turnaround time, with the highest pay for the most urgent deadlines.” 

• “Flexible hours (work when you want, right from your living room, in any time zone).” 

• No voice work required – tasks are proofreading/editing textual documents, not taking calls or doing voice-chat.

• They emphasise: “We never have and never will charge candidates to apply to us for any job.”

So basically: If you’re comfortable editing text, spotting grammar/typo issues, working independently, this could be a viable “non-voice” home job.

Why this is interesting for Filipinos

Since you’re in the Philippines (or anywhere really), here’s why this job could work for you:

• They explicitly say “You are welcome to apply from any country.”

• Because it’s non-voice, there’s no requirement for handling phone or live chat with clients — you edit documents.

• Flexible schedule means you can choose your working hours — helpful across time-zones or fitting around other commitments.

• Earning in USD can be advantageous depending on exchange rates.

• If you have strong English writing/editing skills (which many Filipinos have or can develop), then you’re not at a disadvantage just because you’re outside the typical US/UK market.

However, important caveats:

• Even though they say $19-46/hour, that figure may reflect top tier (urgent deadlines, large volume) and may not be guaranteed for all tasks.

• You’ll need reliable internet, a good computer, strong English proofreading/editing ability (including grammar, punctuation, consistency, formatting).

• Payment logistics: since you’re overseas, you should check how you’ll be paid (PayPal, bank transfer, etc) and any fees or delays.

• Competition may be high. Some applicants on Reddit report that though the test is legit, getting accepted is difficult.

So yes — it’s a good opportunity, but go in with realistic expectations.
