I built a 100% remote résumé + career coaching business using 7 tools:

1. Loom ($20/month)
– How I communicate with potential clients
– My finished product is a video résumé review

2. Squarespace ($23/month)
– Website hosting and payment

3. Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction)
– Payment processing

4. Zoom ($22/month)
– Live writing sessions/meetings

5. Calendly ($12/month)
– Scheduling

6. LinkedIn Premium ($39/month)
– Viewing profiles (for feedback)

7. Google Docs (Free)
– My own résumé template
– Client résumé drafts

Total cost: $466/month.
Profit margin: 95.3%.

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’m opening a few 1-hour spots for 1:1 business audits to help you:

• Audit and improve your offer
• Identify what’s working (and what’s not)
• Align with the best résumé standards and advice

My usual session rate is $500/hour – but if you read this far…

I’m offering $375 business audit sessions for a limited time only.
