Logic should have dictated a methodical approach to business processes. I suppose it did up to a point. I had considered the method for exchanging documents and decided that, with decent virus protection, I could reasonably open emailed documents and send back the polished copy by the same method.
But the online payment process needed some thought. I decided that an upfront payment for documents of all sizes was appropriate. Putting the Paypal button on the website was easier than I thought it would be.
I have printed flyers with tear off tabs and given one of those to a Polish friend. She has just completed the 3rd draft of her novel and might be interested in my services. My belle-soeur has just completed her PhD thesis, and that might give me an insight into academic proofreading.
However, I am a bit reluctant to go down the academic route, and would prefer to stick to straightforward business customers…we’ll see how that goes.
