Personal organizers help people to get rid of the chaos, clutter and confusion in their lives by tackling their bulging closets, overstuffed garages and ceiling high piles of papers. Bringing organization and peace of mind to the lives of your clients will help your business grow.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
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.
Step2
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.
Step3
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.
Step4
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.
Step5
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.
