Work-From-Home Job Spotlight: Garage Organizer


Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or business.

Job Description: A garage organizer reorders clutter in client garages, often with the assistance of garage-specific storage systems.

Education: None necessary.

Skills: The ability to organize and clean garages, often involving heavy lifting.

Job outlook: A recent newspaper article found that high-end garage organizing companies are growing at a rate of 25% per year, which can translate into work for the little guy as well.

Possible employers: Check out the National Association of Professional Organizers. OnlineOrganizing.com and Organizer U for leads. Consider starting your own consulting business or joining with another garage organizer in your area.

Preparation: Join the National Association of Professional Organizers. Take organizer courses from the above-mentioned organizations.

Get your foot in the door: Ask family or friends with messy garages if you could reorder their space for promotional purposes. Take good before and after photographs and be sure to get testimonial quotes for your marketing pieces.

Until next time,
Sarah
