I built a $100K+ remote résumé business using 7 tools:
1. Loom ($12/month)
• Communicate with prospective clients
• Deliver personalised video résumé reviews
2. Squarespace ($21/month)
• Website
• Payment pages
3. Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)
• Payment processing
4. Zoom ($74/month)
• Live résumé writing sessions
• Client meetings
5. Calendly ($11/month)
• Scheduling
6. LinkedIn Premium ($75/month)
• Reviewing client profiles
• Research
7. Google Docs (Free)
• My résumé templates
• Live client drafts
Fixed monthly total: $193 + Stripe fees
Here’s what I DON'T do:
– Cold approach people with “Open to Work” banners
– Offer “free” calls that turn into sales pitches
– Outsource to low-cost résumé writers
– Use ChatGPT to write client content
– Spend a dollar on ads
All my work comes from in-bound leads and referrals.
If you're a career coach or résumé writer trying to grow your business, I offer 1:1 business audit + working sessions for $475/hour
• Audit and improve your offer
• Identify what’s working (and what’s not)
• Align with the best résumé standards and advice
