Career Questions and Answers
I want to be a professional organizer...What do you think?
Asked by Jolonious17
I am a very organized person, and enjoy organzing things. I was considering starting a small organizing company (freelance)/Be a professional organizer. Not for my fulltime business yet, but start it parttime and see where it leads. Has anyone done anything similar? What were your outcomes? Positive results/Negative results? OR anyone work for a company that does professional organizing for residences/commercial properties? Fill me in! Thanks for your opinions
Hey all---I'm trying to figure out a way to help people get more organized without traveling at this point. I would someday like to travel to other destinations, but I need to start the business locally. If you want some general tips that will help you out, send me what you are having problems with or need help on (home or office) and I'll try to give you some tips over email.

This is an awesome business. Especially when organizing is your passion. I am a professional organizer & can't say enough 'good' things about my business.
Doing marketing research is a major contributor to getting started. Marcia Gracia has an excellent book dedicated to starting your own organizing business. Titled The Ultimate Guide for Professional Organizers. {everything you need to know about starting, running, and growing your Professional Organizing Business}. The book is well worth the investment & takes you through all aspects of the profession. You can refer back to it forever! {this is not a paid advertisement!!}
Another suggestion is, organize friend's or family. Get a 'real' feel for the business.
My web site turned out to be my second best investment. Until you start getting referrals from satisfied customers, in my opinion it's a must.
Do online research on other organizers. Look at their web sites & see what they offer. Call a few in your area. There are great organizations to join, as well.
Run an ad. Do marketing every single day! Read everything you can find on starting a small business. These articles really help with 'not' making major costly mistakes.
Some of us are born with this talent. We are fortunate when we are able to 'share' it with others & make their lives easier. Not to mention saving others time and money!
Good luck & I say go for it!!
