Absolutely, that's an excellent point. It's good practice to get in the habit too. I usually get so into the work that I completely forget to document 🤣
I like organizing for fun, but now interested in possibly expanding it into something more. Just came across your channel. Will subscribe and binge all of your videos to learn how to do this professionally! Thanks in advance for the tips, lol
Can you do a video explaining your pricing more and how you chose it? I’m absolutely stuck on how to charge. I’m hearing both hourly and flat room rate (which is hard not knowing how simple or complex it will be). Help?!
Hey Chelsea! It's a complex topic for sure but I talk a bit about it in this video here 👇 ua-cam.com/video/fVD7zrVmV30/v-deo.html It may not answer all your questions but it will give you a start. I also have a great freebie link in that video to work on your price list 😀 I'd suggest starting hourly until you're more confident with your process. Packages and all-inclusive pricing can always come later. If you want to create a REALLY solid strategy, book a coaching session with me and we can go over demographics, pricing models, business goals, package strategy, and price elasticity based on where you live and client needs. It's kind of an involved process but worth it if you're ready to create a excellent plan 💪 www.ispeakorganized.com/become-a-professional-organizer Happy to help when you're ready!
thank you so much for sharing his incredibly valuable info! can you pls tell me where to find your list of Workbag Essentials that you mentioned in this video?
Thank you as you have covered the globe that I needed to do..However I been having difficulties finding clients as the economy starting 😢 to get tough.. Hope you havr suggestions or anyone have ideas for new beginner's like myself...
What kind of schooling do you have? I have been thinking of trying to become a professional organizer because I do have some natural inclination, but I don't even know where to start. I'm in Canada.
I'm looking at starting my own business. I'm in South Africa. I'm doing a trial run at my sister's place on time management. How do I just get started from advertising to getting clients
Hi Shaun! Congrats on taking the next steps. Your question requires a kind of involved answer that can't be fully answered in a comment. Apologies. However, think on this as you continue to do your research 👇 It depends on what specific organizing services you want to provide, who your target client is, knowing exactly what your target client's problems are, and how to fix them. If you market blindly to the public without speaking to your target audience's reasons for hiring you, then you're in danger of wasting a lot of money on marketing. When you're ready, you can schedule a call to start fleshing out a marketing plan! Have an awesome week.
Do you charge a flat fee for misc services like : consignments/ resell , shopping fee, product fee, travel fee& donations ... or are these fees included in your overall rates ? What's a good base to charge for these fees.... most sites are discussing these hidden cost
Hi Kimberly! I talk a bit about this in the two videos below- you may find them helpful in deciding whether you charge separate fees or choose to build all-inclusive package pricing 👇 ua-cam.com/video/MmUPbXTHOl4/v-deo.html - Pricing Tips ua-cam.com/video/ITLNWnXvRGM/v-deo.html - Work for Free? Base rates for these depend on where you live, how far you're traveling, cost of gas etc. You'll need to figure out those costs for yourself to make sure your base rate can cover those expenses. Hope that helps!
I think I saw you pop up on my calendar! Just in case you want more info before the call, head to www.ispeakorganized.com/become-a-professional-organizer.
All of this is so true! I quickly found out to take befores and afters at each session, not just of the project overall.
Absolutely, that's an excellent point. It's good practice to get in the habit too. I usually get so into the work that I completely forget to document 🤣
@@ispeakorganized I’m bad at that sometimes too 😂. It’s hard to do what you love!
What's your IG handle? I'd love to follow you on your home organizing journey!
@@HeidiPaulHomeOrganizing organizationpending - Looking forward to following yours as well!

Who usually pays for the organizing products (i.e. baskets, bins, shelves, etv.)? You or the client?
Hi Jen! The client pays for it in my case. Either as part of a package deposit or as needed. There is a bit of a process and nuance to it :-)
What kind of schooling do you have? I have been thinking of trying to become a professional organizer because I do have some natural inclination, but I don't even know where to start. I'm in Canada.
Hi Lea! I don't have any schooling in this industry per se. Just a lot of business experience that led me to the profession. :-)
This is incredible!
Glad it helps, Stephanie
