Most organizers are solopreneurs who handle every aspect of their business, bringing in colleagues on a subcontract basis as needed, or perhaps engaging the services of a virtual assistant or other professional. My guest today has some great tips for you if this is no longer enough and you need to hire a regular employee.

Earlier this year, we looked at a few ways to find blogs who welcome submissions from others, as well as the benefits you can receive by writing guest posts. But what about the other way around? Is there any advantage to inviting others to write for your blog?

Welcome to the 36th edition of the Professional Organizers Blog Carnival! Evan Esar defined family as “a social unit where the father is concerned with parking space, the children with outer space, and the mother with closet space,” and we’ve got lots of great tips this month to help families be organized not only in their spaces, but in their activities.

As my guest today, I’m happy to welcome back Moreen Torpy. I’m actually quite pleased to be today’s stop on her virtual book tour for her new book, Going Forward: Downsizing, Moving and Settling In.

It was such an honor to be invited to speak at POC’s Halton-Peel Chapter Meeting last week! Since the Q&A portion of a presentation is often the most valuable, I decided to devote the entire session to answering the group’s questions about social media. I’ve posted those questions, along with my answers, here today.
When it comes to social media, I’ve noticed that some professional organizers avoid it like the plague, others embrace it wholeheartedly, and most fall somewhere in between. Helena Alkhas views social media as an important tool for her organizing business, and I’ve invited her here today to explain why.
Many new professional organizers choose one of our Starter WordPress Packages for their first website or blog, because it allows them to have a professional design at a very reasonable cost. One of the benefits of WordPress is that you can update to a different theme, even a custom design, any time you’d like a new look, without having to recreate your site from scratch.
These days everyone is overwhelmed with information, and it’s coming at us from every direction! This month I’ve invited organizing experts to share their advice for managing the deluge of communication we send and receive via email, snail mail, the telephone, and other media. Read on for some great tips, and please feel free to share your own ideas in the comments section.
