Medical Editing Proofreading

• The world of medical editing and medical
  proofreading is really tough out there.
• And you may wonder How do the most successful
  medical journal editors get the work? How do they
  gain an edge in the competition and earn a
  handsome amount?
• However, theres no magic formula to this. And
  only a bachelors degree in English
  is not sufficient.

• All successful medical journal editors have the
  same skill set essential for their success and
  higher income.
• So what are these skills?
• Lets learn them quickly!

1) Find your Niche and Work on it

• You can highlight your expertise in your
  portfolio and increase your chances of getting
  referrals and repeat clients from within that
  industry.
• Even within the medical industry, you can choose
  small niches like Cardiology, Respiratory,
  Urology, etc.  But before you choose a niche for
  yourself, make sure it suits your interest and
  you get well trained in it as a proofreader.
• If you dont have the proper skills and knowledge
  in a particular field, you can easily spoil your
  reputation.

2) Be a Constant Learner

• A medical journal editor doesnt know it all.
  Therefore, he strives to find mentors in his
  niche and ask questions from them to seek a
  specialized training in medical proofreading.
• If you can find higher-earning and successful
  mentors in your niche, feel free to contact them.
  They know what works and have a steady flow of
  referrals due to their excellent work. They will
  help you figure out your next move as a medical
  journal editor.
• So, spend time on continuing education beyond
  that English degree to distinguish yourself from
  the competition.

3) Answer your E-mails Astonishingly
Fast

• If you take a day or two or weeks to answer an
  e-mail from a client or never answer it at all,
  what message does it send?
• It communicates your inattentiveness or
  indifference towards them. So, how can you expect
  them to acknowledge your needs?
• All the clients have their deadlines. So, if you
  take more than a few hours to reply to the
  client, its bad. Even if you are busy with other
  assignments, just respond them with a
  confirmation e-mail.

4) Market Yourself

• You can sit and wait for the work to come to you
  or act by marketing yourself. This way you can
  get more work and at a much faster rate.
• However, your marketing tactics need to be smart
  to get you in front of your target customer.
  Find all the social media channels where your
  target customer hangs out and promote yourself.
  Brush up your online marketing skills and grow
  your business.

5) Dont Give Up Ever

• As said before, the road of medical proofreading
  and editing is tough. But, even when the going
  gets tough, you must stick to it.
• Dont take shortcuts.
• Mistakes will happen, but learn from those
  mistakes and move on as a better professional.

• Successful medical journal editors always strive
  for excellence and they are well aware of their
  existence as an imperfect human being.
• Mistakes and setbacks can happen to anyone, but
  its the action you take to improve them that
  builds a true character and helps you live the
  life you want.

Success is not an overnight achievement, but a
continuous tread on the right path.
