What should I charge? (Here's the real answer)
|
Hey Reader, If you've ever typed "what should I charge as a professional organizer" into Google, you already know what comes back. A range so wide it's basically useless. So I made a video that actually answers the question. Not with a number. With a framework that's built around how and when you want to work, what you need to earn, and the pricing model that creates consistent income instead of unpredictable months. We start with a math problem. I want you to think about your last organizing job. How many hours did you charge for? Next, add up everything you did for the client. The drive, the texts, the supply run, sending the invoice, the donation drop-off, the follow-up and the work itself of course. How many hours was that? Now take the money you earned and divide it by ALL those hours. That is your actual hourly rate. And for a lot of organizers, it's not even worth leaving the house. If that number made you uncomfortable, good. That's exactly why I made this video. Inside you'll find:
This is the most practical pricing video I've ever made. I think it's going to change everything for you. See you over on YouTube, Amy P.S. If you're ready to get out of your own way and start attracting more clients, hit reply. I offer a free phone call to anyone who asks. During the call, we'll focus you on revenue generating activities so you can make more money and stop hearing "let me talk to my husband." |

Hey Reader, A reader wrote back to me last week, after the purple shovel story. She told me something honest. For a long time, she kept her distance from my work. She thought I wanted everyone to throw away everything they owned. Take a picture. Toss it. Done. She wasn't wrong to think that. That's close to what the story said. Here's the harder truth underneath it: if you don't say clearly what you believe, people fill in the blank for you. Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they don't....
Hey Reader, Three times this month, one of my clients ran the perfect consult. She walked the prospective client through every room. The client finally stopped apologizing for the mess and started planning what could actually change. Then: "This sounds amazing. I just need to talk to my husband." Nine days later. Zero callbacks. Here's the honest truth: research shows a woman's cortisol stays elevated all day in a cluttered home. Her husband's does not. She's carrying a weight he can't feel,...
Hey Reader, I was on vacation last week. Somewhere between sandcastles and sunscreen, we loaned our old purple shovel to a family setting up their tent. We've had that shovel for fifteen years. It's built more sandcastles and dug more holes for umbrella poles than I can count. The next morning, I realized we never got it back. My heart actually skipped a beat. I coach people through letting go of thirty years' worth of stuff. I'm not supposed to panic over a plastic shovel that cost three...
