How To Become a Professional Organizer From Scratch
Being arranged and organized in one’s personal life is regarded the key to this profession; as a professional organizer, you will organize all the debris, junk and clutter your clients have accumulated in their homes. Areas include the kitchen, closet, garage, file cabinets, attic and every possible nook and corner; teaching the client about keeping their things tidy in the future is also considered a part of the profession. Specialization, like any other field, is a common phenomenon here and it provides the opportunity for an extra income in certain cases.
For example, those who specialize in organizing messy and cluttered closets also provide closet installations and closet accessories at an extra cost. Similar other fields of specialization are business, paper management, clutter control, chronic disorganization, behavior modification, space planning, filing, photographs, packing/moving, records management, home offices, corporate offices…the list is virtually endless.
As a professional organizer, one must also remember that one mistake can make a deal go bad; if you want your customers to be returning ones, you have to organize their clutter very well. The business also involves a medium-sized budget that shall cover the expenses regarding advertising and publicity. However, to keep the expenses at the minimum, small advertisements in the newspaper classifieds and spreading the news through word of mouth are good options.
A professional organizer charges from $40 to $200 an hour, which depends mostly on his/her experience and geographical location. A shoestring budget is enough to get this business started, the investments reaching a maximum of $1000. Annual revenues can very well reach up to $40,000 or $60,000, but it also depends on the size of the client base. Income potential is usually greater for metropolitan areas, and a rate of $40 to $50 an hour is common, unless you charge a flat fee for some usual or routine tasks.
