Specialize – wardrobe styling, gift shopping, grocery shopping (Instacart personal shopper hybrid!). Start local – friends, neighbors, busy professionals. Set your rates (hourly, per project, commission). Marketing? Word-of-mouth, social media (showcase your style!), local business networking. Fashion sense and organizational skills are your key assets.
