7 Ways to Excel At List Building a small-time seller, proofreading is something you really can’t afford to skimp on. It’s also something you shouldn’t try to do yourself. As any professional writer will tell you, when you work on a piece of writing you become blind to its faults. No matter how carefully you re-read it, you see what you think is there.

You may think that a couple of spelling mistakes in an email or report don’t matter. They do. Just ask all of the prospective job candidates whose applications didn’t make it out of the slush pile because their covering letter was littered with typos. They don’t get an interview because they’ve already made themselves look careless; if your website is a mess of bad grammar and spelling, then it doesn’t matter how great your product or service is - you already look unprofessional. And if your marketing literature is littered with mistakes– forget it! Whether you’re a large-scale business or a small-time seller, proofreading is something you really can’t afford to skimp on. It’s also something you shouldn’t try to do yourself. As any professional writer will tell you, when you work on a piece of writing you become blind to its faults.
