Everyone has a natural curiosity about there past. Who am I related to? Is there
someone famous in my family history? For decades people have successfully
researched and documented their family histories. Why not help others find out
about their history?
The art of Genealogy can be a task some people do not have the time to tackle.
They may be interested but lack the knowledge needed to locate their past
family. This is where you come in! The Internet offers such a rich resource of
information, you could find ones past almost entirely online (from home!). This
could be a wonderful and fun business for those of you who love a little mystery
and research.
You should research your OWN family first to see if you even like doing the
work. If you decide that this is the type of business that you find fun and
stimulating, then proceed with your advertising efforts. You could offer a
sample of your work by locating the first three generations of a family as a
"free offer". Most genealogy web sites sell beautiful plaques, papers and
stationary to document a history. Invest in some books that teach you how to do
the research. There are a variety of ways to locate a person either online or
off-line.
What to charge you ask? Good question! This depends on how much "labor" you feel
you put into it. In my opinion I would probably charge a set fee for every
generation the client wants. Let's say a client wants to know five generations
on both the mother and fathers side of her family. You may want to charge $5.00
per generation, that would come out to be about $50.00. You then would also
charge for the paper or book you write or type the family history in. This is
just an estimate, charge what you feel you deserve! Be willing to negotiate as
well. Offer to give a free "family history album" with any $75.00 purchase. Get
creative! Most of all have fun with it!
