Business services: There’s been explosive growth in the number of small businesses in the last decade. Which means good news for this E-Type. Why? Because a large portion of these small companies are too small to hire full-time staff to handle certain critical business functions.

That means there’s a huge need for “outsourced” providers of such business services, which include tasks like bookkeeping, payroll, list management, order fulfillment, hiring, etc. Even some larger businesses prefer to have certain functions provided by an outside party so that the information—such as their financial accounts and payroll—is kept private, away from their own employees.

Much of this kind of work bores other E-Types to tears—which is why there is so much opportunity here for Organizer/Administrators. There’s plenty of competition in these areas, to be sure. But once you establish yourself, you may find that you are soon running a profitable, stable business. The key here is to be consistent and reliable—always.

Personal services: There’s also been a huge increase in the need for personal services that can be classified as “administrative” or “organizing.”

People are so busy, they often do not have time to handle their own affairs—whether paying their bills, arranging their closets, or planning a party. Hiring someone else to do it for them can be a relief. Breaking into the personal services market can be harder than the business services market, and the work will probably be less stable.

Some personal service opportunities for Organizer/Administrator E-Types appeal to those who like to be with many other people and handle many different tasks at once (such as party planner). While other personal service opportunities allow you to be more private, focused on one task at a time (such as errand runner, bill-payer).

Again, the key to success here is to perform your job for your clients consistently and reliably. Most people will want to hire you, and then not worry that you’re doing the work well. This is what you want also!
