Idea of the Week: Resume Writing Service Home Business

Filed in archive marketing on July 6, 2007

There are many ways for you to earn money from a resume writing home business, and it need not only come from your charges for your service. If you have your own website, you can earn commissions from affiliate programs. Such programs will post advertisements on your site: if your clients or website visitors click on these advertisements, you can get money in commissions. The content of these advertisements will depend on your site's content, however, so make sure that your site contains a good number of keywords related to resume writing and job seeking.

How much should you charge your clients? The key is to be competitive in the resume writing market, so start by calling other resume writing service in your area to check on their price range. You will want to charge within this range, or you can charge slightly higher but give extra services to your clients, such as free resume maintenance, printing out pictures to go with the resume, or resume cover letters to go with their resume.

You can also create your own resume writing packages, which can include a hard and soft copy of the resume, resume cover letters, resume maintenance, or even submission to job placement agencies if you already have the right connections. You might also want to set up client interviews, so that you know exactly what position your client is applying to, what your client's special talents or achievements are, and what your client's career goals are.

Resume writing can be challenging: you need to highlight the best parts of a prospective employee and show prospective employers how the achievements and talents of a person make him or her the best person for the job. If you know how to market people, and if you can translate all of the work into writing, then you can certainly earn from your resume writing home business.
