Master your editing and grammar skills. Take editing classes, read grammar books (the AP writing style guide is a great place to learn grammatical rules), and brush up on your spelling skills before you begin marketing yourself to write term papers. If you want to be successful, you need to be credible and reliable because term papers are an important part of any student's educational future.
Set rates for your services. Determine how much you want to charge for editing and improving a term paper, according to the length, type and difficulty. For example, you may charge $50 for a research paper up to five pages, and $75 for a research paper up to 15 pages. Certain types of papers may qualify for a different rate. For example, you may want to charge more for a group term paper than you would for a single person research paper.
Market yourself. Create a professional rate card and order business cards for yourself. There are several ways you can advertise, whether it be word of mouth marketing or placing an ad online, but for both, you must get the word out about your services. To place an online ad, include a description of your services, rates and contact information.
