Professional Organizers Can Earn Six Figure Income

According to CNN Money, Professional Organizers who work full time can earn a six figure income.

Like those who become real estate agents to make extra money, a lot of people in the organizing field work part-time. But about half work full-time.

Those who do stand the best chance of earning $100,000-plus a year if they're ambitious. And it may not even take that long. For some, it could be as few as five years after entering the field, Izsak noted.

Client work alone isn't the only way to reach that level of income. Some professional organizers achieve it by combining client work with speaking engagements; or by running a business that hires out organizers.

Izsak, for instance, subcontracts out organizers who freelance with his company, Arranging It All. And he's also written a book called "Organize Your Garage in No Time."

Organizers also may earn fees for referring a project to colleagues.

Work is billed by the project or by the hour. Hourly fees can range from $50 to $200 depending on the organizer's experience, location and the nature of the job for which they've been hired, Izsak said.
