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, There's a version of this story where I walk away. Where the weight of everything — a father's cancer diagnosis, my in-laws' failing health, my son's near-fatal accident, a business I'd spread too thin — becomes too much. Where I decide the most responsible thing I can do is quit and focus on my family. I almost told that version of the story. I'm so glad I didn't. By the summer of 2024, I'd been in business eight years and I was spread thin across too many offers. Then my dad was...
Hey Reader, I sold my son's blue whale at a yard sale. He was little. It was in the pile. A young child picked it up, and I let it go for a quarter while Zack watched with tears in his eyes. Thankfully, he doesn't remember it. But I will never forget it. And I don't wish that on anyone. Here's what most people get wrong about decluttering and what our clients get wrong too. They start with someone else's stuff. The kids' toys. Hubby's hat collection. The boxes that were never theirs in the...
Hey Reader, We’re moving into summer fast. The school routine is gone, work is a little slower, and “flexible” can quickly turn into chaos. I’ve coached enough women through the summer slide to know that without some structure in place, June momentum becomes August exhaustion. The kids notice. So does your calendar and your bank account. Our son is launched, but Steve and I still build a summer rhythm on purpose. It’s intentional, just the way I like it. Here’s what we actually do: Sunday...
