    Legitimate online jobs are available for people with the right experience, skills and access to a computer. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Online publications and services are growing in number and sophistication, spurring the demand for writers and editors, especially those with Web experience." In this growing market, knowledgable editors and proofreaders have a great opportunity to find work in a fast-paced sector. Although many jobs are low-paying, there are others that offer a comparable rate to print-based work.

    Publishing and advertising businesses are big users of editors, it is a fairly specific niche skill I suspect you will have to also do some writing in your career.

    Some short term projects cam be found on the freelance marketplaces including Elance.com, Odesk.com, vworker.com and the less well policed freelancer.com

    Elance alone reports their (mostly skilled) workers earned $285 Million in 2013

    Almost impossible. Newspapers and magazines are failing everyday. You might want to reconsider your major.
