Step 1: Build Your Foundation (Mindset + Basics)
Every successful organizing business starts with a strong foundation. But before you create a logo or a worry about Instagram, I want you to do this work.
1. Believe that you are capable of doing this.
You do NOT need certification, formal experience, or a big portfolio. Your gift for creating order is already valuable.
2. Decide on the basics.
You only need a few foundational pieces to get started:
A business name
A simple email (Gmail works!)
Clarity on the types of services you want to offer
A basic idea of your ideal client
If you want help setting these foundations up step-by-step, my How to Start Your Professional Organizing Business course walks you through everything—mindset, services, pricing, marketing, and what to do first.
Step 2: Create a Simple Online Presence
To get started, all you need is:
A Google Business Profile
A simple 5-day Squarespace website (or even a one-page site)
A few photos showing your style
Your website does NOT need to be perfect—it just needs to help people understand:
Who you are
What you do
How they can book you
Step 3: Start Talking About Your Business (and Get Leads!)
Three effective ways to get on your business fast:
1. Tell people what you do
Family, friends, coworkers—everyone should know! Most organizers get their first client through someone they already know.
2. Post simple value-based content.
You don’t need to dance on Tik-Tok. Share things like:
Quick organizing tips
Before and after photos
Stories about why organizing matters
3. Make it easy for people to work with you.
Have a clear call to action:
“Book a consultation”
“Message me for availability”
“Visit my website to learn more”
Final Thoughts
