One way or another, Tarot classes belong to the service sector. But unlike many other services, such as being an auto mechanic or a hairdresser, the idea of ​​tarot is littered with an absolutely incredible amount of strange notions, false myths, and unjustified social expectations.

This creates problems for the tarot reader and a conflict of interest in communication between the tarot reader and the client.

One of the difficulties that a novice tarologist faces is the issue of payment for his work. And the first pitfall - is it work? What does the tarot reader require or ask for a fee for?

How much is skill worth?

There is an opinion, very stable, that Tarot, like many other esoteric practices, is the Gift of the Higher Powers. And to demand payment for the use of this Gift is indecent, ugly and even dangerous for the owner of the Gift.

One gets the feeling that the tarologist should be grateful to those who came to tell fortunes. And that it is not they who should pay him, but he should pay them extra.

Amazing thought. Maybe the ability to work with the Tarot and the Gift. However, I can say how many man-hours and finances I personally invested in making this Gift work. Each new book that I bought, read and thought about, each new deck that I bought, studied, mastered is an increase in my competence, each new channel that I was dedicated to.

Mastery does not come from thin air. Mastery is blood, sweat and tears. You say that there is no blood in the Tarot? Didn't your heart hurt after terrible fortune-telling, when a sobbing mother sits in front of you, and the cards show that her little missing daughter is already dead?

What does a tarot reader get paid for? What does he do? In English, there is a great term that perfectly describes the essence of the work of a tarot reader: tarot reader, Tarot reader. Unfortunately, there is no adequate translation into Russian.

The tradition of rewarding messengers for good news and executing them for bad news is as old as the world. And transferred to the tarologist. In the view of the client, he pays the tarot reader primarily for the result. For "dream come true". Moreover, the client may not be aware of this, but in his mind, the tarot reader controls this result. And the future is in the hands of the tarologist and on the tip of his tongue. Moreover, again, according to the client, the tarologist not only should not, but cannot be mistaken. Still, because by working with the Higher Powers, the tarologist himself becomes a kind of Higher Power. No longer by the voice of Providence, but by Providence itself.

I want to see at least one specialty whose representatives have never made a mistake. Judges, doctors, the same hairdressers... Those who deal with material objects are not immune from mistakes. Remember auto mechanics raising their hands in bewilderment. It doesn't work, and it's not clear why. The topic of tarot reader errors is very extensive.

A tarot reader deals with probabilities, with a fragile dynamic balance.

Process or result?

The client pays the tarot reader not for the result, so that both the tarologist and the client themselves do not think about it. The client pays the tarologist for the process. For the process of translating from card language into human language. What the client pulled out, then the tarologist read, then he translated.

It's like psychoanalysis. Conducting sessions contributes, but does not guarantee a solution to the problem. In psychoanalysis, the client also pays, first of all, for the process. More precisely, the result of the work of a tarot reader is a correct reading of the cards, and an unfulfilled prophecy, and even more so not reading morality to the client, not instructing him on the true path, not determining the degree of morality or immorality in the actions of the client.

However, clients also require unambiguous prophecies, and a tarologist can be retrained as a prophet. Making prophecies is a very easy way. Especially if the client is suggestible.

So is it decent to make money on Tarot?

Today, the question of the professional qualities of a Tarot master is based solely on the subjective assessments of the master himself and his clients. Therefore, I will only talk about myself.

I consider myself a good professional. I see the objective benefit of fortune-telling for my clients. Most of the time they don't come back to me with the same or similar problem because the problem is being fixed. And the client does not become dependent on me or my advice. Therefore, I am not ashamed to look at myself in the mirror and I calmly take a fee (rather high) for my work.

* Calculations use average data for Russia

Some people just need to believe in the supernatural. Contrary to all the laws of logic and common sense, a certain percentage of the population is still firmly convinced that brownies live in houses, magic exists, psychics can treat diseases through TV and solve crimes through the astral, and Tarot cards really show the future. Thanks to the blind faith of too many people in something mystical, “hereditary witchers”, “fortunetellers” and other charlatan “evil spirits” live and prosper for centuries. Moreover, there are those for whom such a business is naturally family, hereditary (that is, even the great-grandmother began to deceive people, and then taught her offspring to do this), and those who independently try to break into this market. However, why blame them if they just make money on the stupidity of other people? The man himself wanted to be deceived.

Tarot cards, however, are not only a tool for quackery and deceit. Undoubtedly, this is just a set of plastic or cardboard cards with drawings, but they can be compared with an ordinary playing deck of cards, which is sometimes also used for divination. Thus, fortune-telling on Tarot cards is also a kind of entertainment process, it's just a way to relax and get a little distracted.

A rational person will never live according to the prescriptions of the Tarot cards (how can you even trust pieces of cardboard?), but even such people sometimes want to at least jokingly try to find out their future. For a tarot reader, these are not very profitable clients, because they will not use the services too often. For a charlatan, this is an absolute minus, but for an honest entrepreneur, even in this situation, there is an opportunity to earn money while remaining honest with clients.

In this type of business, as elsewhere, there is also its own competition, and charlatans are especially good at attracting customers, because they do not shun the most dishonest tricks. Therefore, if there is no desire to impersonate a fifth-generation medicine man or a great sorcerer, you will have to attract clients in some other way. In this case, first of all, they go to guess precisely to the supposedly real magician. However, the Tarot is a whole science, and therefore even a person who does not have spiritualistic abilities can, having studied the whole issue, begin to offer people correct divination with correct interpretation dropped cards.

It is a mistake to believe that Tarot is for the elite, and only sorcerers (who do not exist) can deal with them, any person who has sufficient patience and approaches this issue with interest can “guess” on the cards no worse than a sorcerer. Because all fortune-telling comes down to the interpretation of cards and the correct psychological game with the client.

To start your own business, you must register as a business entity. In this case, you can register as an individual entrepreneur or even a legal entity. It is much more convenient to issue an IP, because an entrepreneur can really cope with all the work alone, and registration of a legal entity will become too long and a process. As an individual entrepreneur, you can use the simplified taxation system and pay only 6% (of income) or 15% (of operating profit) in taxes.

The activity code can be specified (OKPD 2) 93.29 Other entertainment and recreation services. However, in this case, the code (OKPD 2) 96.09 Other personal services not included in other groups may be better suited, because usually, from a legal point of view, fortune-telling refers specifically to personal services. Registration will require approximately 20 thousand rubles to pay the state fee and other minor expenses, as well as about a month to complete all bureaucratic procedures.

The work will require a room, and many of the tarot card readers do their work directly from home. Moreover, to offer to see the future, for this, indicating the need to visit the office, to put it mildly, is illogical and does not correlate with the understanding of the Tarot principle, which has always assumed some kind of mysticism, mystery and communication with other world. In general, the main thing in the organization of the working space is not the size of the room or the location of the house in the city, but the surroundings of the room itself. In order for clients to be in the right mood, many tarologists use interior design according to generally accepted concepts from occultism, astrology and even alchemy. To do this, it is enough to allocate only one room, but you will have to decorate it, perhaps in such a way that later you will not be able to live in it - after all, twilight should reign there. In order to start your business, you need to spend a little money on the arrangement of the room. The exact amount depends on the imagination of the tarot reader and the available funds.

Ready-made ideas for your business

It is important to understand that business is fundamentally different from charlatanism. All those who are trying to convince their clients of their supposedly available magical power and pass out the drawn cards as a clear picture of events are simple deceivers who play on the stupidity and gullibility of the population. By the way, few of them are registered as entrepreneurs, but they are necessarily members of some sect of the association of tarologists, the purpose of which is already a larger swindle. Which is not surprising - according to the law, such activities are not illegal, so anyone can declare themselves a sorcerer.

Then what is the difference between an honest entrepreneur and a pseudo-shaman? The fact that he provides information, but does not try to convince the client of something supernatural. This can even be an advantage in a situation where the spread does not show a very good picture. In this case, one can refer to the fact that the cards can show what is to be feared, but they do not have to be believed. The sorcerer, on the other hand, cannot refuse the fact that the Tarot is fanned with magic, and unprecedented forces speak of fate.

Ready-made ideas for your business

In general, Tarot is not only something occult, a deck of these cards is an interesting system that can be interpreted in completely different ways depending on which cards fell out together. That is, the final result is determined not by a simple sum of values, but by their totality, which complement and change each other. This opens up a huge number of opportunities for a psychologist who can skillfully manipulate the minds of his clients. After all, the same pictures can be interpreted in different ways, choosing the most optimal, neutral or good value, which cannot but please the client. However, a visitor who does not have a very good picture will definitely stick to the tarologist with the question “what to do?”, And here the latter has the opportunity to earn money. If he's not clean. Things can reach the point of absurdity when a visitor is offered to buy tinctures on the roots of mandrake, snake liver ... Yes, people willingly believe in medieval nonsense, although any problem is easily solved with the help of psychological influence.

As already noted, the alignment can be interpreted as convenient in one case or another, and also, if initially we say that the alignment that has fallen out is not the ultimate truth, then you can encourage the visitor to perform any useful actions for him. A competent psychoanalyst with the help of cards can even improve the life of his client for the better - self-hypnosis, imaginary fear, and even placebo can greatly change consciousness.

But such work should not be destructive. An entrepreneur is distinguished by the fact that he goes to meet his consumer, gives him the opportunity to enjoy the work of an interesting system that has been developed, refined and improved over many centuries. It is rather a psychological test, a game, useful for mental activity, communication with a mystical tinge, a way of introspection and finding solutions to the problems of your life.

A psychologist who lays out Tarot cards in front of a gullible client (and in fact anyone who comes to a session is gullible), but before that unobtrusively finds out what worries the client and what problems he wants to deal with. The drawn cards are interpreted in a favorable light, but within the framework of the rules, it is also impossible to offend such an ancient system with ignorance. As a result, the visitor can leave a completely different person, not knowing that a psychologist worked with him, and not a magician. But unlike magicians, psychologists at least exist.

Ready-made ideas for your business

It turns out that Tarot can even be a socially useful social undertaking. However, you can not be either a psychologist or a charlatan, but simply lay out a deck in front of a believer and draw the resulting picture according to the established rules. In this case, the tarologist is an impartial performer who “shows the fate” with which to live on to the client. At the same time, it is unlikely that it will be possible to provide any additional list of services, because fortune-telling is usually offered removal of damage, love spells and other communications with the dead, but there are also some pseudosciences that can also be entertaining and even a little educational interest. This, for example, is palmistry, which is also connected with the fate of a person in no way, but may be curious for some people. This also includes divination on other cards.

To attract customers, you need to run a small advertising campaign, and in this case even newspaper ads will be good. If you have funds, you can order the creation and promotion of your own website, where you can post your own information about services and prices, and promotional materials. The site can also be used as an online fortune-telling, which, of course, does not have such a mystical atmosphere and will not become an interesting experience, but it allows you to satisfy the interest of the most ordinary consumers who will never go to a tarologist and will not spend money on it. On a site of this kind, you can earn either on advertising or on providing paid fortune-telling, but the latter option is actually not common due to the relative complexity of payment and the lack of interest of people in general. Those who are enthusiastic go to the “shaman”, but those who are not enthusiastic are not interested at all.

Interestingly, the gender of the tarologist plays a significant role in this business. And, especially, age. It's so customary that a witch should be old, red-haired and brew potions on fly agaric. Therefore, a tarot card announcement given by a granny in a dark, mysterious headscarf will attract potential customers better than exactly the same, but given by a young guy. Moreover, hardly anyone will go to the latter. And here it will be quite difficult to break the prevailing stereotypes, and the entrepreneur will have to adjust his image to the image of an inhabitant (and even a regular) of the astral. A person in an ironed shirt will not be perceived point-blank by customers, but in a black raincoat or simply looking extraordinary, if only for this reason, will attract attention. Before you earn a name for yourself, you will probably have to play clowning, but even a quiet, albeit a little extravagant, calm image can remain forever, this will become a “chip” of a tarologist. Don't forget that people love the show.

It will be a little easier for women to conquer this market than for men, just as older people have an advantage over younger ones. Although usually such earnings are chosen by those who are seriously interested in Tarot, at least just as art and entertainment. There are few of these among young people. For a large number of entrepreneurs, this will surely become just a small additional source of income, although for hereditary witches, fortune-telling and getting rid of the evil eye become a good addition to their pensions.

However, the entrepreneur does not present himself as someone he is not and does not try to convince himself or others of this. And although it is not necessary to focus on rationalists in this type of business, it is still worth offering customers some kind of “alternative” Tarot. Tarot as an art, as a psychological training, as an easy game (by the way, there is a full-fledged Tarot card game - “jeu de tarot”). It will surely find its consumer. Not as many as "real" specialists, but in this case you can even count on those who are afraid of spirits or are really not strict skeptics. Neither one nor the other will go to standard tarologists.

Different segments of the population turn to divination. No need to think that only women go to grandmothers for fortune telling. Many men are also interested in this type of service, especially businessmen. Superstition is inherent in many even modern people, including businessmen, especially the old school, who began to build their business back in the nineties. Here their interest in Tarot is genuine, the rest are a little more restrained in their faith. Today, fortune-telling about the success of starting a business is even one of the most popular types of services, because people turn to it for information about the undertaking. Undoubtedly, many aspiring entrepreneurs doubt whether they should open their own business, and among such people there are a lot of those who are far from the economy (and even higher education), who do not have entrepreneurial talent and who just want to, but are not going to do anything. In their doubts, such under-businessmen often wander to charlatans of various stripes.

In Tarot divination, it is imperative to mention the deck itself. It consists of 78 cards, which are divided into two unequal groups: the minor arcana (56 cards) and the major arcana (22 cards). So each deck is distinguished by its design, execution, theme and style of drawings. You can also use a standard deck in your work, “real hereditary magicians” use a worn out old deck (inspires awe in the client, although a new deck can simply be artificially aged) or make a deck to order.

The cost of one session with a tarologist is determined directly by the entrepreneur himself. Some guess for 300 rubles, and some do not take less than a thousand. More eminent fortune-tellers take several thousand, sometimes setting a price tag much higher than 10 thousand rubles per session. It is impossible to determine the real cost of fortune-telling - it simply does not exist, and here each entrepreneur is engaged in pricing in a way that is beneficial to him.

on tarot cards? Good question.

I regularly receive letters in the mail saying that, yes, your own website is good, and many also dream of someday maybe creating something of their own. In the meantime, there is no time, since work, home, family, children, a dog, etc. And in general, working on the Internet is somehow frivolous, abstract and more for fun than actually doing business online.

Many of those who are used to paying for communal services through the operator's cash desk and for kindergarten, standing in line at the bank, still cannot accept that it has long been possible to pay for all this via the Internet. For many, it is also almost a myth that there is money on the Internet.

Are they there? Of course have. If you are in doubt, then I invite you to my

There is money. You have probably been using plastic cards of various banks for a long time, including the salary from the enterprise transferred to such a card. Therefore, with electronic money, which can then be cashed out and actually taken in hand - you have known for a long time.

And if there is money on the Internet, then how can you make money on Tarot through the Internet?

7 ways to make money with tarot online

1. Create your own esoteric online store

You can create your own esoteric online store. For example, as known on the Internet.

How can you earn money there:

Sell

Provide remote fortune-telling services. That is, to make, for example, a separate section, like on my site.

And you can create an online store with the help of Evgeny Popov's course.

On my website, I will give courses of those authors from whom I bought courses myself and I know what kind of authors they are. Basically, these are, of course, very famous people of the online business now, and you most likely know them too ... or maybe not yet. But almost all people who now run their business on the Internet grew up on their courses.

2. Create your own group in social networks: Facebook, VKontakte, Twitter, Google

I must say right away that in Odnoklassniki this is prohibited by the site administration. In this social network, you cannot engage in areas related to astrology, divination, predictions, magic, etc. You will be banned without the right to recover. My page, for example, was banned and the reasons were explained. The loss is not great, besides this social network, many new ones are being developed now. Nevertheless, be prepared for this, so as not to spoil your mood in vain later.

Facebook has a lot to do manually, it takes almost the whole working day and there is no time left for the rest of the business. When you have money, you can hire a group administrator or SMM manager. He, of course, will need to pay every month, because the person works for you.

To learn more - Click on the picture below:

Everything is much simpler on VKontakte, and as long as you don’t have the means to hire people for yourself, you can do all this yourself, because there are many software tools that allow you to do this automatically, even if you are not at the computer.

3. Create your website

This is the main source of income on the Internet. On your site you are your own boss and you can write any articles, offer your services and advertise yourself absolutely FREE and you will take payment from all customers!

In all other places on the Internet: on other sites, with partners, in social network groups of your competitors, in other people's mailing lists, etc. - you will have to share, that is, you will agree to advertise for a certain percentage.

To create your website you need only 2 steps:

Choose josetra

Register a domain (site name is registered once and forever)

It is better to register a site on a paid site. On a free platform, third-party advertising will constantly be slipped on you + on your site, without your permission, various flashing, sparkling banners of dubious topics that visitors do not like and they will simply leave your site will be shown.

Here is 24/7 technical support (Does not slow down and really helps)

Trial period FREE (15 days)

Spam and virus protection (always)

High-quality hosting from 75 rubles / month. This is really a good value.

4. Gather a base of subscribers and conduct a mailing list

Your subscriber base is the blood of the entire business. In another way, they also call it the “golden goose”, which will lay golden eggs for you.

But there is a key point here - you need to be able to conduct a mailing list, that is, to be able to work efficiently in “email marketing”.

The mailing list service is the best, which ranks high among information businessmen - this is.

What is the plus:

This is a really high-quality service that provides many additional features for doing business.

Until you get 1000 subscribers, you can use the service absolutely FREE (this is about 1 year or 1.5 years, which is very profitable, agree)

When you reach 1000 subscribers and above, you can participate in mutual PR. That is, other people in their mailing lists will advertise you and your services/products, and you will advertise them. This, of course, is not automatic, but by agreement, but it is usually FREE.

What does it give you:

New subscribers to your database

New customers who can already buy something from you directly through mutual PR: Tarot layouts, training from you, etc.

In addition, after registration, you will see a tabbed panel at the top. Select the “Help” tab there, in this tab at the bottom there will be “Video tutorials for beginners”. They are completely FREE, but for some reason few people know about them and buy paid courses on setting up this service on the Internet. So use this tab!

In terms of email marketing, this is, of course, legendary

Mega-popular effective training:

Golden Active 5.0

5. Create your Tarot information product

Flash book

You can learn how to create information products in the courses of Evgeny Popov:

What to do with them when you create them? Advertise and promote them on the Internet by any means except SPAM! And make money from their sales.

6. Affiliate programs

This is the most common way, especially when there are no products of your own and there is nothing to sell. Then you register in affiliate programs focused on esotericism: tarot,.

What is the point?

Usually, the authors of the products give 30% of the sales to you, and take 70% for themselves. On the one hand, not much, but on the other hand, your efforts are minimal - you simply advertise these products and get your % from sales. You don't have a headache how to deliver course DVDs, how to create this course or training or book, you don't need to hire a designer (no one will buy a product with a terrible cover), you don't need to pay for the service where your affiliate program is located and finally, you do not need to work with dissatisfied customers (you can’t do without them (!), but you need certain knowledge to work with them).

Important!

So that the quality of goods and services in the affiliate program you are promoting is high.

Now there is a lot of everything on the Internet and no one will buy any nonsense, because information products are far from being a curiosity and you won’t surprise anyone with them. Clients are now selective, no one will pay just like that.

Check the partner for honesty.

That is, for payments: they must be on time and in full. Some like to forget to pay you, someone has some personal difficulties (which you shouldn’t worry about at all because this is a business and you and the one you work with are partners, and not friends), some are especially cunning, after You make sales to them, they just freeze your account without explanation and the money is not paid out. Such passions are rare, now it is more developed than 1-2 years ago, but nevertheless be aware of it.

So, you will receive 30%. A lot or a little - depends on the volume of sales that you make per month. But many people earn only on the promotion of affiliate products and have from 100,000 rubles a month quietly. But these are people who are only interested in this, this is their job. At first, you will have about 30,000 rubles per month. Again, it depends on your ability to work with affiliate programs, there are many nuances. But it's worth it.

A powerful person for an affiliate program on the Russian-speaking Internet is.

FREE Training Video Course

Your affiliate program (!!!) on the subject of Tarot, when you already have your own information products, and now you will give 30% to partners, and take 70% for yourself. An additional source of money and very, very good!

A step-by-step guide to setting up payment acceptance and the Affiliate Program:

So, you now know as many as 7 Ways: How to make money on the Internet on tarot cards!

While still working in the newspaper, Olga Solomka became interested in energy massages, Chinese energy practitioners and Tarot cards. Suddenly losing her job, she entered a new stage in her life. Somehow, out of desperation, she decided to advertise in a rural newspaper as a professional tarot fortune teller. "And the people reached out - in the village there was no one to listen to what was sore," she says.

The new life literally crushed the old one. When the Maidan happened, one publication ordered Solomka to predict the future. At the last moment, the editor-in-chief removed the material, but kept it and checked it for almost a year, and then wrote in social networks - he killed the article in vain, everything came true. “It was a magical kick to believe in myself and announce: from now on I earn money with cards and psychology, I offer consultations and forecasts,” says Olga. “They began to invite me to TV, contacts were sold by word of mouth. ".

SUCCESS IN NUMBERS

From the moment when Olga first thought about consulting practice, and until the day when she began to realize her dream, six years had passed - by that time she had already turned 42 years old. The dream was shaped into specific plans, conditions were ripening for them, the "right" people, proposals and opportunities were turned up. The first cash fee was UAH 50, then - UAH 100, and now the tariffs reach UAH 300-500. Olga Solomka is not ready to declassify her earnings. “But if today 3-4 thousand UAH are offered to a correspondent, judging by the published vacancies, for an irregular working day and galloping around the city, then I earn this while lying on the couch and not straining,” she says.

STARTING CAPITAL: for study and website

Irina needed a minimum of funds. Rather, the money was spent on education - but this did not happen all at once. was the second highest, the diploma was useful only as a rear, giving self-confidence. “Courses and seminars help you stay in good shape, fill you with confidence that you are on the right track, because there are like-minded people nearby,” explains Olga. In total, about UAH 1,000 was spent on training and certification from the International Coaching Organization. The purchased domain and hosting, on which the site operates, take about 300 UAH per year. The site was created by herself - on a free platform found on the Internet, and improved over time. “It’s really possible for anyone to do this: you can sit for a week and figure it out, there would be a desire and a computer,” she believes. “A website and social networks in our age are often more important than paper business cards — if you are not on the Internet, are you there at all?”

Tricks, Secrets and Tricks of a Successful Business: the "correct" tariff scale and marketing

Making an appointment and making an appointment, to the question: "When can I?" in no case do not answer: "Yes, anytime!" - this will give the impression that you are completely free, because no one goes to you. You also need to show that you are busy and everyone needs a person. Offer better several options to choose from: morning or afternoon, Tuesday or Friday - so solid. Create a line of products from cheap to expensive, for any wallet and ambition: some people buy only the most budgetary, others respect themselves so much that they buy only VIP services. By the way, setting a price for your services is a whole science. “Somehow, a client explained to me that low prices do not attract, but scare away, and what is done for free is not appreciated by people at all. The importance of your work will be appreciated only if it costs at least a little,” Olga recalls. I tried it on by trial and error." And never complain about how hard it is to earn a living - such an attitude scares away, rather than attracts clients and partners, Olga advises.

HOW LIFE CHANGED: moved to the village and completely limited unwanted contacts

Since there is no longer a need to rush to work in the morning, Olga realized another old dream - to live in the village. “I gave up the practice of energy massage and other services that require personal contact, specifically to work virtually,” Olga explains. “I wake up, rest, and work when I want, I take breaks to play with cats, draw Japanese-style paintings and weed the beds. Time enough for the church choir and meetings."

THE HARDEST OF ALL: to take money and be afraid of gossip

The most difficult thing was to announce to your friends that you can do something else - in addition to what they know about you, and learn to take money for it. “At first they paid by barter. I inspired myself that money is not speculation and not profiting from the workers (the post-Soviet complex), until I accepted the fact that making money with your skills is normal,” says Solomka. The fear of public condemnation drove her at first to panic attacks - the thought that they might think badly of her took her breath away. “I struggled with fears for a long time. And when they really started to gossip about me, I let it go, and since then I don’t care,” she shares.

There was no support at all. “I used to come to visit the provinces and dreamed that I would study coaching, consult remotely, and live in the village. But there were those who wanted to“ cheer up ”: what will you teach others, what have you achieved in general? And the dream has shrunk,” says Straw. And although everything worked out over time, the coach-consultant concluded for herself: design plans for the future and go towards them silently.

ADVICE FOR DOUBTERS

SHARE

When a person is just starting to study Tarot cards, the question of paying for divination is, of course, not in front of him. But then, when the theory develops into effective practice and becomes something more than just a hobby, the financial aspects begin to interest the future Master, especially if his layouts turn out to be accurate, and clients do not skimp on positive reviews. Let's talk today about whether you need to charge for fortune-telling, how much a tarologist earns, how to set a price for your services if you want to deal with cards professionally and turn your hobby into a profession.

Do I need to take money for tarot divination?

The question of whether to charge for layouts has both supporters and opponents. Opponents believe that the ability to predict fate using magic cards is a gift that comes to a person from the Higher Forces, and it should be used for charitable purposes, i.e., in their opinion, a tarologist does not need a salary. Supporters, on the contrary, believe that a tarologist is the same profession as everyone else, so it is possible and necessary to take money for fortune-telling.

Let's see which one is right. To become a tarot reader, you need to spend some time studying. You can’t take the cards in your hands and immediately start guessing, even if you have a very strong intuition by nature. In the process of learning, you buy decks, specialized literature, take special courses, such as, for example, in the Russian Tarot School, and all this takes not only your time, but also money.

Further: few of the tarot readers who have moved from theory to practice are limited to only one deck - over time, there are more and more of them in their personal collection, and each of them costs far from a hundred rubles. The average cost of a Tarot deck today varies from 800-1000 rubles to 2000-3000 and more, especially when it comes to rare or collectible samples.

Now let's talk about the process of divination. This is not a purely mechanical action, but an energy process that takes away strength from the tarologist, even if it may not be visible from the outside. The spent energy must somehow be returned, which is why in magical practice payment for services rendered is widespread. It is not so important whether it is a sum of money or some kind of gift, the main thing is that the client gives something to the esoteric in order to somehow compensate for his energy costs and pay off his “energy debt”. There is even an opinion that magical services provided free of charge can then return to the client’s life as a negative, so at least something must be brought to the Master, even if you have agreed on free fortune-telling, for example, a box of chocolates or fruit.

Well, before moving on to the question of how much fortune telling on Tarot cards costs, let's mention one more nuance. Any work of a person should be paid, and it does not matter what kind it is - physical, mental, energy. It doesn’t occur to you to take groceries for free in the store, not to pay a hairdresser for a haircut, or to ask, for example, a private psychologist to conduct a free session with you? By the same logic, any Tarot spread is a service, and the one who provides it should be paid for the time and effort spent.

When to start taking money for divination?

This question, probably, worries even more novice masters of working with a magic deck than even finding out how much it costs to tell fortunes on Tarot cards in principle. There will be no single answer here, since everything depends solely on your level and inner readiness.

Before setting a fortune-telling rate, you need to determine how accurate your forecasts are, whether your first free clients - relatives, friends, colleagues - are satisfied with the layouts. If everything is in order with this, then, of course, you can start a paid practice.

But it is important to remember about inner readiness: if you do not feel fear of communicating with strangers, you are aware of your responsibility to the person who will pay you, you do not miss the deadlines and do not refuse the alignment at the last moment, then yes, you can proceed. It is also important to be aware of all the risks: what if the client is not satisfied with the result of fortune-telling, or he does not understand the meaning of the message of the cards, or maybe he wants to ask additional questions - are you ready for such a turn of events?

Making layouts for close people is much easier: you can do this at any free time, reschedule a meeting, explain incomprehensible points in simple language. It will no longer be possible to do the same when working with a paid client: a person knows exactly what he pays for and when he wants to get a result. A bad mood, a deterioration in well-being, suddenly formed cases - you will have to forget about all this if you have arranged a personal meeting or an online consultation with a client.

How to evaluate your work and determine the cost of layouts?

Now let's talk about how much tarot card divination costs. Here everything is also very individual. If you look at a couple of dozen sites and personal pages of tarologists, you will see a huge range of prices. Someone takes one and a half thousand rubles for a small deal, and someone offers to do the same, but for an amount three times less. The paradox is that both masters have clients. How to evaluate your work, what prices to set?

In fact, focus not on others, but on yourself. There are several ways to determine the cost of your services. Let's take a closer look at them.

Method 1. Analysis of attachments

If you want to quit your current job and devote yourself entirely to cards, take your average salary, or at least the minimum for a start, which would be enough for you to cover monthly expenses for transport, utilities, food, buying new decks, literature and other things. needed to improve your skills.

Then analyze how much time it takes for you to deal, interpreting it, communicating with the client, taking notes on fortune-telling. Then calculate how many such layouts you are willing to spend per day, how many days you can work per week and calculate the approximate cost of one layout. Of course, this will be a very approximate salary of a tarot reader, but many at first set the cost of their services in this way.

Method 2. Analysis of the complexity of the alignment

Here we will use a different method. Conditionally divide all the layouts that you are ready to do for money into three categories: simple, medium complexity, complex. You can divide them by the number of cards (1-3 cards are simple, 5-10 cards are medium, more than 10 are difficult), or by subject. So, for example, it is very easy for someone to work with issues of personal relationships, but it is more difficult to guess at professional activity, while for someone, on the contrary, career layouts work out as easy as shelling pears, and, for example, the analysis of the psychological state takes more time and effort. Someone evaluates the complexity of the layouts solely by the number of cards.

So, depending on the category of layouts, set a price for them, for example, simple ones will cost 400 rubles, medium ones 700, and complex ones - 1000. Consider the specifics of the work - whether these will be personal meetings or online fortune-telling. Since an in-person meeting is considered more energy-intensive, you may be able to quote lower rates for remote work. For example, a simple scenario with a personal meeting is 400 rubles, and the same fortune-telling, but via Skype or in a chat format, is 300 rubles. But remember that the prices listed are just an example, and the final cost should vary depending on the region where you live, your personal needs, the average salary in your city, etc.

Method 3. Hourly rate

Some people prefer to work on an hourly basis. In this case, we do not take into account the complexity of the alignment, but the time spent on its implementation, interpretation, communication with the client, answers to additional questions. So, the person who asked you the question “How much does it cost to tell fortunes on Tarot cards via Skype?” and the one who received the answer, for example, “500 rubles - an hour”, will be able to keep track of time in advance, prepare questions, think about what else needs to be asked, and so on. You can conduct an additional alignment if there is enough time, or, on the contrary, offer a person to increase the duration of the consultation, in a word, we get an individual approach to each client.

How much does a tarot reader earn?

Many factors affect the income of a tarot reader: the time spent on work, the number of clients, the level of professionalism. And naturally, with experience, the salary will increase. But let's roughly calculate how much a novice tarologist earns, accepting online one client a day, if he works five days a week in the evenings and makes simple layouts. Let's imagine that for one alignment he takes 300 rubles, and spends an hour on it. In a week, having accepted 5 clients, he will earn 1,500 rubles, in a month - 6,000. Now imagine how much he can earn if clients recommend him to their friends, and in a couple of months he will have three layouts per evening, or he generally quit his main job, devoting all his free time to cards!

Can you imagine how much a tarologist earns, working at an hourly rate, for example, 500 rubles / hour 8 hours a day? Naturally, such income will not appear immediately, but it is quite possible to reach the level of the average salary in your city if you advertise your services and collect positive feedback from customers.

So, we have considered whether it is necessary to charge for fortune-telling, how to determine the cost of your services, how much a tarologist earns on average. We hope that these tips will help you gradually turn your hobby into a full-time job.
