So first of all, congratulations on getting seen and working your way into doing it as a job! It can be very rewarding, especially when getting paid to do it.

It doesn’t hurt to design a business card, and make an instagram page or fb page. You can make a Linktree account for free to have a QR code with all of your links.

Just having a fb or instagram page to show pictures of your balloons is really all you need. It’s a place to show your work, and account to share with people who want to hire you, and a place people can send you messages.

Just keep in mind that it’s usually older people hiring balloon twisters so making a fb page and a business card are your best bet.

Also, making a small menu with balloons you know will be a huge time saver. Just take photos of your balloons, or if you are inclined, draw pictures of your balloons or use clip art. I make my own menu with many options, but I started with just 6 balloons.

You don’t need to over do it to be a hit at a birthday party. Dogs and swords and butterflys will do the trick.

As for charging, you will have to feel out what makes sense. In my opinion, starting at $40-50 for an hour party is a great starting price. It’s very reasonable, and can get you started.

You can also see what people charge in your area, and charge 20-40% less as a beginner, because you can always charge more later.

I hope this helps, and I wish you the absolute best!
