Whether we pay them or not, I think, most of us, always have those few people who inadvertently become our editors.

So let's say you are a blogger, or you just write on paper, and then lets assume you have an audience, it is even okay if you are your own audience. You read your work again, and now and then you find a skipped verb, a missing preposition or a misplaced adverb. Either your small audience ( your friends who are kind enough to read your writing ) tells you about these chance errors or you find them yourself.

Because you have been writing, once in your head and then on paper, probability is higher for you to miss these typos, extra, lacking or misplaced words, or a bad paragraph arrangement ( structural or line ).

To save yourself some time, a lot of effort and to give your writing that proper look, I think it makes sense, to get an editor for your work. You could even hire one. Like has already been answered before, they charge, per page, per word etc.

P.S. - You can be your own editor. It just requires a lot of effort, you need to distance yourself from your work, you need to work on the voices in your head while reading your own writing, you need to get into an analytical frame of mind and judge your own writing. It is not easy, but then at least, it is how you want it to be.
