Tarot Board Certification
Some advice to Tarot Readers about certification:
I’ve never been certified – but my feedback speaks for me. I have 17 years of experience as well, but even if you are just starting, if you keep at it you’ll get there! I am a busy reader with a large clientelle.
I created a Facebook page, as well as a webpage, and a blog to showcase myself. On my webpage, there is feedback I’ve recieved.
On my Facebook page, there’s also a lot of feedback. The word of mouth advertising is better than any paid for certification. (Because really, why give a piece of paper the power to tell you you are good at something like this???)
To gain experience, you just have to KEEP READING! Keep studying!!! I’ve been a professional reader for 17 years, and I STILL spend time studying and meditation on my cards. (I wrote a blog about how to study, too, for beginners.)
To be respected: Be respectful! Your reputation isn’t something you can buy, or something you get from looking a certain way, or from hanging a certificate on your wall. It’s in behaving like a professional!
What deck is best?? What ever one you LOVE and speaks to you. For years I used the Rider Waite, but for the last 2 years I’ve been using the DruidCraft Tarot – It really speaks to me!
How to advertise in a small community? I’m with you on this one!!! I live in a very small community. I do NOT spend money advertising. I have created my Facebook fan page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lori-Grace-Reads-Tarot/165303626862384
I invited all my friends to it. Then, encouraged them to share it. Also, I got FREE business cards printed up at Vista Print. That is the ONLY advertising I do. When ever I do a live reading, I simply say to my client when we are done :
“My business relies on referrals. If you know anyone who might also enjoy meeting with me, please share my card!” and I give them 3 or so business cards.
I do NOT charge an arm and leg for readings.
$30 for live readings (and I put my phone alarm on a half hour timer .) I do not have an office – I meet new clients in a public meeting room at the Public Library.
$9 for email readings (because I can do them at my leisure, although they still take me about half an hour to do.)
$4 to start for phone readings (the phone company gives me bonuses, so the client doesn’t have to pay so much.)
I am a very serious reader, (I am clairvoyant as well) but keep in mind that for your clients this is also for fun as well as a serious chance to get some guidance.
I really REALLY hope this helps.
Many Blessings!!!
Lori-Grace.
