Step 1
Attend training seminars online (see Resources below). Learn the necessary skills for your career at websites such as Professional Organizers. Online seminars allow you to learn at your own pace.
-
Step 2
Join the National Association of Professional Organizers, known as NAPO, to find courses, strategies and tips to grow your business. You also can network with your peers.
-
Step 3
Promote your business. Create a website and start an organizing blog that gives tips without elminating the need for your service. Share home beautifying tips, as well. The idea is to create the image of yourself as the organizational expert.
-
Step 4
Continue the promotion through the print media. Anyone can take out an ad, but there are other ways to use local newspapers. Offer to write an occasional article or column on organization to further the image of you as the expert.
-
Step 5
Contact the yellow pages in your area to list your new business in the telephone book. Don't just list your number. Take out an illustrated ad. You'll reach everyone in your locale.

on 8/26/2009 you should try to first write in to any websites of television stations airing shows like that. then pass out flyers and get your name out there and known to people. start with helping people close to you for free or reduced cost and just ask that they in return tell more people about your skills. also if you plan on becoming a professional organizer for someone who has a house full of stuff that you don’t know what to do with start by renting a dumpster and asking that person to help you get rid of all the clutter and excess belongings that they own, talk to a professional about it at www.dumpstersource.com
