1. Are You Cut Out To Be A Coach To Tarot Experts?
To know whether you are cut out to be a coach for aspiring tarot card experts, you need to ask yourself some questions.
Skills
Experience with the tools of the trade is very important, You should be able to demonstrate your skills and not just
theoretical ones.
If all of them are aligned, then you can be sure that your enterprise is going to work. You can give the gift you hold within to people by helping them live a life by design.
You can start coaching and helping others gain the 3 C’s of life
Clarity, Consistency, And Courage.
The First Step Is Building Trust
Trust can’t be bought, you need to build it.
If you follow these guidelines when you build a community of tarot card experts,
the connection between you is deep and lifelong.
2. Creating A Curriculum
Teaching someone to read tarot cards can be a rewarding experience for both the teacher and the student. It is important to explain to your students that they will not do “fortune telling” as such; it’s more about the deeper psychological symbols of the tarot and how we can apply them to everyday life.
A compassionate attitude will allow them to approach each reading with an open mind and heart. A non-judgmental attitude will provide their clients with a sense of validation and respect. This allows them to feel more comfortable and confident in the guidance they will provide. When clients feel like they can trust you and share their most vulnerable feelings and experiences with you, they will be more likely to open up and receive the guidance you have to offer. This level of trust and connection is essential for tarot coaching to be effective.
As a tarot coach, your primary goal should be to give your students valuable insights and guidance that will help them navigate life as a reader with greater clarity and purpose.
Active observation and listening skills need to be developed because you need to be present when listening to people, understanding and reading between the words that they say as well as what is left unsaid. Verbal communication may be minimal, but nonverbal communication plays a huge role in understanding how other people feel about you. The tarot card expert should never start by just jumping in and presenting the solution to the problem, but by just absorbing it, being silent, and letting things land.
Today, we’re living in a world where people can Google whatever they wish, and they get thousands of options. Today, people do not lack information. They can spend hours and hours researching on YouTube without finding a solution to their problem.
What people want is a clear-cut path to achieving their goals, and they want it fast. What people will pay you for is not the volume of information, but how simple you can make it for them. How fast can you get them a result?
Before deciding to take action and achieve results, the student must first develop the proper mindset, and to do so, the roadblocks that are holding them back must be removed. This is a list of books that you should recommend to your students.
1. Thou Shall Prosper
Ten Commandments for Making Money-by Daniel Lapin. Principles on which Jewish people build wealth while debunking the myths about their reputation. The true principles of wealth creation show that creating true wealth is a spiritual activity if you do it with the right mindset and perspective.
When people realize that you're not there solely for your profits but for their benefit, that’s when the needle will move on your revenues.
Every part of your curriculum should be a reflection of you. Once more, they get the experience that, “Wow, I’m at the right place at the right time.” This is the best customer experience you can hope for. The quality of your product is not what you think of as quality; it happens when your customer feels that they are getting the best value for the money that they’ve invested and they’re able to get the information in a remarkably simple, smooth, and sublime way. When you do this, you don’t have to “market” quality; quality speaks for itself.
As a coach to tarot experts, you need to clarify that the attitude of service to humanity should be in their DNA. Listening to other people's situations in life will help them be more grounded and more humane. One of the biggest qualities of a tarot card expert is not being judgmental, because all of us go through issues. The best outcome is when a client feels that a tarot card expert has given them a breakthrough in their life.
To become a tarot coach, you need to possess these qualities in abundance to teach your students well.
Compassion: This is an essential aspect of being a successful tarot coach. This powerful emotion not only makes you a better listener and advisor but also helps you build a deep and meaningful connection with your clients.
First of all, teach your students that compassion will allow them to connect with their future clients on a deeper level. When someone is going through a difficult time, they often feel isolated and misunderstood. As a tarot coach, your role is to teach them how to provide comfort, support, and understanding. Compassionate listening and guidance can help your clients feel heard and understood, which in turn can help them heal and grow. You can help create the right mindset for the student to learn and grow as a tarot expert
A typical tarot reading works like this: The client is asked to focus on a question while shuffling the cards simultaneously, then lay the cards on the table and cut the cards. The tarot expert will then lay out a particular spread. Each card has a different meaning. The cards will then be interpreted one by one for the client, thus answering all your questions.
However, it is never as simple as that. The same tarot cards, when placed upside down, have different meanings. A lot depends on how you interpret the cards in front of you. Since there are hundreds of spreads to choose from, it's necessary to master the art of interpretation, which is only possible with a lot of practice and the use of your psycho-spiritual abilities as a tarot expert.
Encourage your students to trust their instincts and to let their interpretation guide their readings.
As you know, each tarot card has a traditional, universally recognized meaning. However, there are finer details that emerge with the reader's intuition and the context of the reading. For example, the traditional meaning of the Tower card is upheaval and destruction, but the interpretation of this card could vary greatly depending on the specific situation of the person receiving the reading. For example, one tarot card expert may choose to depict the Emperor as a powerful, but benevolent ruler, while another may choose to depict him as a tyrant. Both are valid, but they can lead to different interpretations of the card's meaning.
This is why the best way to interpret a tarot card is to trust your intuition and allow the card's symbols and meaning to speak to you.
Knowledge of tarot symbolism: Tarot cards are rich in symbolism, and each card has a unique meaning. You should be good at teaching the different spreads (layouts) that are used in a tarot reading, as this will help your students get a more comprehensive understanding of the situation being addressed.
The meaning of a tarot card can be influenced by
The individual's life experiences
Beliefs
Perspective
The specific context of the reading
In addition to the symbolism of individual cards, it's also essential for tarot experts to understand the relationship between the cards. The cards in a tarot deck are not meant to be read in isolation, but rather in the context of the spread and the other cards surrounding them. A tarot expert must have a solid understanding of how the different symbols and themes in the cards interact with each other, and how they can provide a larger, more comprehensive picture of the client's life.
Practice is important for Tarot for several reasons
Teach your students to follow these steps to get the most
out of their tarot readings
Set your intention
Before beginning a tarot reading, take a moment to set your intention and focus your mind. Consider what you hope to learn from the reading and what specific questions you want to ask.
Choose the proper spread
Different tarot spreads are used for different purposes, so choose the one that best aligns with your intention and question.
Shuffle and select the cards
Take time to shuffle the tarot deck and allow your intuition to guide you in selecting the cards for your spread.
Interpret the cards
Interpret the cards based on their traditional meanings, as well as your associations and intuition. Pay attention to the symbols, images, and colors on the cards, and consider how they relate to your question and the context of the reading.
Trust your intuition
Tarot readings are subjective and open to interpretation, so trust your intuition and allow the messages and guidance revealed by the cards to speak to you.
Reflect on the reading
After your Tarot reading, take some time to reflect on the guidance you have received. Consider how it relates to your life and how you can incorporate the insights into your future decisions and actions.
To become a better coach to aspiring tarot experts, you should aim for continued personal growth.
Here are some suggestions for expanding your knowledge
as a tarot coach
Learn about the symbolism and meanings of the tarot cards. To get a deeper understanding of the traditional and modern readings of the tarot deck, read a variety of publications and resources.
Get a thorough understanding of human emotions and psychology. This can be accomplished through self-reflection, therapy, or psychology research. This expertise can assist tarot experts in identifying the client's behavior and understanding the underlying causes of their problems.
Join a tarot group. This can be a local or online group of tarot card experts. The chance to connect with individuals who share your interests and learn from their experiences can be priceless.
Participate in workshops, classes, or events. They should also practice and reflect regularly, as well as seek out opportunities for learning and improvement through workshops, mentorship, and reading books and articles on the subject.
Several tarot experts offer workshops and lessons that can provide you with new ideas and approaches to help you improve your reading skills.
Maintain a journal. Maintaining a record of your readings, ideas, and insights, and personal growth as an expert will assist you in further developing your talents.
Employ other divination instruments. Tarot is only one type of divination. Consider using additional methods to improve your knowledge and intuition, such as pendulum dowsing, Runes, or the I Ching.
Promote exploration. Urge your students to investigate their relationship with the tarot and refine their reading approach. Encourage them to keep a diary in which they can write their ideas and discoveries as they work with the cards.
Finally, be patient and encouraging while the pupil learns. Understand that everyone learns at their rate and that developing abilities and confidence as a tarot expert might take time.
Remember, becoming a great tarot coach takes time, effort, and dedication. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the journey!
3. A Day In The Life Of A Tarot Coach
A day in the life of a tarot coach is a unique and fulfilling experience, blending spiritual connection, intuition, and a deep understanding of tarot symbolism. To make the most of your day, start with your "personal daily routine" and decisions
When do you wake up
How many meetings are on your calendar
How many apps do you have on your phone
What are you going to wear
What are you going to eat
Whom do you need to support
To what extent do they need your time and space
How many calls do you receive every day
How much time do you spend on YouTube
How much time do you spend on social media
What are you doing to reset your inner world daily
For many tarot coaches and experts, the day begins with a quiet meditation or visualization practice to clear the mind and connect with their intuition. This is followed by opening their tarot deck and spending a few moments shuffling and centering themselves with the cards. Some practitioners will also light candles, burn incense, or perform other rituals to create a peaceful and sacred space for their readings. Visualization is a key aspect of tarot reading that helps tarot experts connect with the cards and understand the messages they convey. It is a powerful tool that allows tarot experts to tap into their intuition and the collective unconscious, making their readings more accurate and insightful. A tarot coach might repeat affirmations such as "I am open and receptive to the messages of the tarot" or "I trust my intuition and the guidance of the tarot." These affirmations can help create a positive and receptive mindset, which is essential for an effective tarot reading.
Reading or listening to “The Strangest Secret in the World” every single day, can create a change in most people's lives.
Consciousness is the symptom of the soul – that we are alive.
The body is made up of the five gross elements and the three subtle elements – all in the material plane.
GROSS elements – earth, water, fire, air, and ether.
SUBTLE elements – mind, intelligence, and false ego.
The soul is a spiritual element, not a material one. Through the gross and subtle elements, our consciousness can be affected. This is why spirituality and meditation help in calming and aligning our material faculties. We go through emotional mood swings and disturbances because we are not mindful of protecting our consciousness.
The main reasons why we need to protect our consciousness are:
Will help us be more stable mentally and physically
Will help us connect on a deeper level with people
Will help us connect with the Divine with better clarity.
Will help us live a more fulfilled life without resentment
Will help better in our relationships with our near and dear ones
The solution to protecting your consciousness is found in these nine tips:
Increasing your state of awareness through meditation and yoga will help you overcome negative triggers, reduce emotional rollercoasters, and protect your consciousness.
Benefits of Meditation:
Later on in the day, as a tarot coach you will probably have your own clients and may begin to receive requests for readings either via email, phone, or in-person appointments. A typical tarot reading session lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, and during this time the tarot expert will use their intuition and knowledge of tarot symbolism to provide guidance and insight to their client. They may ask the client questions to gain a deeper understanding of their situation or simply allow the cards to reveal what they need to know.
In between readings, the tarot expert may take time to document their session, reflect on their intuition and the messages from the cards, or simply rest and recharge. Some tarot experts also continue to study and expand their knowledge of the tarot by reading books, attending workshops, or connecting with other tarot professionals to enhance their skills.
For those who offer in-person readings, a day in the life of a tarot expert may also include setting up a reading space, such as a booth at a fair or festival, or preparing a table in their home. They may also take time to connect with their community, attend local events, or offer workshops and classes on tarot.
At the end of the day, a tarot expert may close their reading space with a final meditation or ritual to release any residual energy from their sessions. They may also take time to reflect on their day and document their experiences and insights.
4. Top Tools To Use As A Tarot Coach
The single most important tool you need is a Tarot deck. You may choose to use a traditional deck, such as the Rider-Waite Tarot, or a more modern deck that aligns with your personal beliefs and philosophy. There are various types of tarot cards. The Rider-Waite Tarot is the most popular one. Even the Zen cards have their followers. The Palladini Tarot, the Tarot of the Cat People, the Haindl Tarot, the Renaissance Tarot, the Russian Tarot, and the Sola Busca Tarot are some other varieties.
In addition to a Tarot deck, here are some other tools that can be useful for a Tarot coach:
Journal: Keeping a journal can help you track your readings, reflect on your insights, and continue to develop your skills as a coach.
Reference Materials: There are several books that are considered essential for those who are looking to become tarot coaches or enhance their understanding of tarot. Here are a few highly recommended titles:
These books cover a range of topics, from the interpretation of tarot cards and spreads to the history and symbolism of tarot and the application of tarot to personal growth and transformation. It's important to keep in mind that while these books can provide valuable insights and guidance, they are just one aspect of learning and developing your tarot skills.
Testimonials: These are essentially public reviews or endorsements from past or current clients of a coach. They provide insight into the coach's abilities, experience, and effectiveness, and can be a crucial factor in determining whether a coach is a good fit for you. There are several reasons why testimonials are so important when choosing a tarot coach.
First, testimonials provide a window into the coach's expertise and knowledge of the tarot. By reading what others have to say about their experiences with the coach, potential customers can get a sense of the coach's level of understanding and their ability to help others connect with the cards. Testimonials can also reveal the coach's approach to teaching and their ability to make the material accessible and engaging.Finally, testimonials can provide a sense of community and support. By reading the experiences of others who have worked with the coach, you can feel more connected to the tarot and to the people who are exploring it alongside you. This sense of community can be especially important for those who are new to tarot and may feel like they are navigating a confusing and overwhelming world on their own.
If you want to be successful in the next decade, in the online space, you have to narrow it down. You cannot afford to be a generalist. It was working five years ago, but it’s not going to work in the next five years. Once you are aware of that business at a deeper level, you can narrow down your whole consulting model.
Digital resources: Along with one-on-one coaching,
you can create digital resources that complement your tarot coaching services, such as:
Online Tarot Course
You can create an online course that teaches the basics of tarot reading, including the meaning of each card, spreads, and techniques for interpreting the cards.
Virtual Tarot Workshops
You can conduct virtual tarot workshops, where you can provide live guidance and feedback to your students, and answer their questions in real time. These digital resources can complement your tarot coaching services and make your offerings more accessible to a wider audience.
Youtube Videos
You can use YouTube videos to promote your tarot coaching services in several ways. By using YouTube videos, you can reach a wider audience, showcase your skills and knowledge, and provide valuable content to those interested in tarot reading.
These are an invaluable aid in promoting your tarot coaching services in several ways.
Tarot Tutorials
You can create videos that provide an introduction to tarot reading, including the meaning of each card and spreads, as well as tips and techniques for interpreting the cards.
Live Tarot Readings
You can conduct live tarot readings and share them on YouTube, allowing your audience to see your interpretive process in action.
Tarot Q&A
You can create a series of Q&A videos where you answer common questions about tarot reading and offer advice and guidance on how to improve their skills.
Tarot Insights
You can share your insights and reflections on tarot reading and the tarot journey, providing inspiration and guidance to your audience.
Promote Your Tarot Coaching Services
You can use your YouTube videos to promote your tarot coaching services and build your brand as a tarot coach.
By using YouTube videos, you can reach a wider audience, showcase your skills and knowledge, and provide valuable content to those interested in learning tarot reading. The course creation process should be more about results than knowledge. Think about conventional maps and Google Maps. Formal education is like the conventional map, and in the digital age, the course content is like the Google map, where just by going to the Google map, we put in points A to B to get the result rather than memorizing the entire book.
Automating tarot coaching is not possible, as tarot readings require human intuition and interpretation. Tarot cards are used as a tool for divination, and the meaning of each card can vary depending on the context and the reader's personal understanding. However, there are elements from the corporate world that should be incorporated.
As a tarot coach, you may be in a position where you are expected to be available to everyone and anyone all the time. You need your personal space. If you are making way too many commitments to your family and your business than you could humanly handle, that's when the burnout starts. Business is like our human body, a complicated machine. But the interesting thing is that when we live with the right habits and give the right inputs to the human body, all the functions run properly on autopilot.
It's simple when you make it simple. Your personal life will be simple when you make it so. Your business will run smoothly when you make it simple. But simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Less is more. Our human brain craves complexity. We feel that only when things are complicated, do they have value. But it's not true. Most people are hitting the accelerator and the brakes at the same time. They want to grow their businesses, but their mental frictions and resistances take over. So it's a constant state of struggle and unnecessary consumption of excessive energy. And this is called stress.
To build a stress-free business, you need to learn how to simplify everything that's a drag in your life.
If your business is not growing, it's usually your problems that show up in your business.
Next, let's get into business decisions:
How many meetings do you have to be in to make decisions
How much time and space do you have to learn and grow
How much time do you have to network with potential partners
How is your marketing strategy working
How is your ads strategy
How is your content marketing going
What are you doing to get predictable sales
Are your customers happy or not? If so why
Don’t be cheap on your journey to greatness. You want to be great. Pick what is the best, pick something that has great customer support, and pick something that has been built for that purpose. It's important to choose the tools that work best for you and your business and to regularly review and evaluate their effectiveness. You may also want to consider the cost, ease of use, security, and customer support offered by each tool. We need to know what exactly is needed at a particular time.
It is not about the tool. It is about how you use the tool. For example, Photoshop is a tool. Anyone can download Photoshop, but how you design on Photoshop and how you aesthetically use the tool is what’s going to determine the results. You’ve got to aim for mastering the tools, which is very important.
Everyone wants to know what the latest hack is or what the latest tool is, thinking that the tool is responsible for the success of a coach. As a matter of fact, 80% of your success is in your internal game, and 15% of your success is in your external communication. Only 5% of your success is dependent on the tools.
What’s going to help you succeed in this game is you and your mindset, your set of aesthetics, how you use that tool, which matters more than anything else, and how you’re going to instantly, aesthetically, incredibly use that tool.
Toggl: Toggl is a time-tracking tool that helps monitor the amount of time spent on different tasks. This helps in understanding where time is being spent and can improve productivity. Writing and editing tools are becoming increasingly popular among professionals and students alike. The handouts that you provide as a coach should be well-written and professional.
Quillbot is a language model that uses artificial intelligence to rephrase sentences. It can help with generating new content or editing existing text, making it an excellent tool for people who struggle with writing or for those who need to produce multiple versions of the same text. Grammarly offers a free version that covers basic grammar checks, while its premium version provides more in-depth analysis and suggestions. Quillbot, on the other hand, is completely free to use, but it has a limit on the number of characters you can rephrase per day.
As a tarot coach, there are several tools that you can use to manage your billing process:
5. How Much Can You Earn As A Tarot Coach
The amount you can earn as a tarot coach will depend on various factors, such as your experience, reputation, client base, location, and the services you offer. However, with dedication and the right approach, you can earn a comfortable income doing something you love. If you have a passion for tarot and enjoy helping people, becoming a tarot coach can be a rewarding and fulfilling career choice.
How much does a tarot coach deserve to be paid? To answer this question, one should first be aware of all that a tarot expert needs to do. A tarot reading is like a snapshot of what a person’s life looks like at the time of the reading. With the help of cards, a tarot expert has to tune into the energy of the person asking the question to give a picture of unseen influences, patterns of behaviour, obstacles, and strengths.
A reading can give an idea of where the seeker is now, where they've come from, where they want to be, and how to get there. It takes a great deal of dedication to get to the level where a tarot expert can confidently do a reading. For this, one needs authenticity, and complete honesty.
To be a coach to aspiring tarot card experts would mean that you are a master of the art and science of tarot reading. Never pretend, fake, or enhance anything. Tell the truth, even when it’s hard to say and for people to hear. People are not stupid. They can tell when they meet someone who is genuine. If you don’t charge, you can’t help enough people. You have to live and pay bills too. So charge and help everyone you can! If you are in India, anywhere from Rs. 3 lakhs to Rs. 15 lakhs per annum could be your income potential as a tarot coach. This figure can increase for professionals who have been seasoned in the game for some time—maybe three or four years of experience—and have worked with at least 50- 60 clients. This could be as high as Rs. 15 lakhs per annum. They should have a fair amount of credibility and testimonials.
The beauty of tarot lies in the fact that you can practice it even while you are occupied with a full-time job. As a tarot coach, the amount you can earn will depend on several factors, such as your experience, reputation, client base, and location. However, with the right approach and dedication, you can earn a comfortable income doing something you love.
One of the most significant factors that determines how much you can earn as a tarot coach is your experience. With more experience and a good reputation, you can charge more for your services. As you become known as an expert in your field, your clients will be willing to pay more for your services. Tarot coaching can be a fulfilling and lucrative career, especially for those with a background in counseling, therapy, or coaching.
Client Base
Another factor that can affect your earning potential as a tarot coach is your client base. If you have a large client base, you can earn a significant amount of money. However, if you are just starting, it may take some time to build your client base.
Location
Your location also plays a role in determining your earning potential as a tarot coach. In cities with a higher cost of living, you can charge more for your services, whereas in smaller towns, the rates may be lower.
Think of being a tarot coach as a form of spiritual entrepreneurship.
One of the most challenging aspects of building a tarot business is acquiring clients. There is an element of frustration, discouragement, and fear that comes with not knowing if you’ll make it as a tarot expert. Know your strategy and business model. Work on your business plan first so you can put your precious time and energy into action that leads somewhere. Most successful, professional tarotists always, without exception, give good value. In fact, they give more than they get. They always go the extra mile out of love and respect for their clients – it’s called ‘added value’. To be like them, you must do the same.
Ways to increase your income as a tarot coach:
The price point depends on your target market and the value that you provide, as well as the value that you believe you're providing for somebody.
Just being a coach is not good enough. You have to be a good marketer because you need to market yourself. There are many tarot coaches who are great at what they do, but because they don't like marketing, their income level is capped at a very low level.
As your customer base grows, the feedback that you get from your customers will start to give you dynamic input on what you need to do next.
You need to serve your community to become the ultimate expert. You don’t have to be the foremost expert when you get started.
You will end up becoming the leading expert the more you welcome feedback and the more you keep working on yourself. You are the coach, the consultant, and the guiding light for the marketplace. You are the one who’s doing the research, and you’re giving them the insights.
Invest in learning. If you are willing to spend Rs. 10,000 to learn something, you have the authority and right to charge people Rs. 10,000 for your courses. If you are not willing to spend even Rs. 5,000 to learn, how can you charge somebody that much?
Those who actually invest in themselves and go deep may not get the results immediately, but they are the ones who will end up charging much more later on and advance to the next financial level. You also need to be good at selling because selling is a form of service.
Selling is a form of service because if you are able to sell well and solve a problem for somebody else, you're actually performing the service. And when they give you money, if you're comfortable asking for money, you can make millions.
There is a very simple process, called the VCP process
VISIBILITY
CREDIBILITY
PROFITABILITY
If you want to be a successful tarot coach, the first step is to be visible, and you have to follow this sequence. You cannot directly expect profitability from day one. Once you're visible, once people know you, you need to establish your credibility. That means once you get a lot of testimonials and recommendations.
When word of mouth starts to pass around and people realize that you are an expert in the field, then that establishes your credibility. You can start speaking in forums for free, introducing them to the world of tarot cards.
The second one is that you can join offline networking groups like BNI, Rotary, or Lions. There are many different forums where, once you are part of a network, you are more in touch with people, and know what problems they're going through. If people are open to sharing that with you, it becomes a good test, as the best way to get clients is if somebody actually comes to you and says, “Can you please help me?" For you to be at that level where people are actually asking you for help, you should have networked with them. You should have built that kind of trust and credibility. It is not as simple as just selling. But when they come to you, when you become magnetic yourself, then that's the best way.
Number three is digital marketing and becoming an influencer online.
Now, if you're going to do something for others, you're providing a service, then possibly your profitability is not going to be that good. And your dependence is going to be very, very high because you're trading your time for money and you're going to be in it. On the other hand, if you do group coaching you'll have more money, and more leverage, but still, it is dependent on you. But the only model that is totally independent and highly profitable is a digital ecosystem model.
If you're spread across multiple platforms or locations, you’re left with a lot of marketing to do and no clear focus on your business. When you’re committed to a clear, focused strategy, it becomes so much easier to figure out the next logical steps to take in your business in order to make it grow.
Tarot is as competitive as any other industry, so take these steps to get clients for your business. Build the right foundation, structure, and momentum into your tarot business,
When you first begin, you can give the general public free tarot readings. This allows you to share your gifts and expertise. Later, you can offer paid personal readings, and you can determine your own fees for those services.
Another way to make money online is to join one of the many Facebook groups for tarot and psychic experts.
Keep your costs low to ensure that you are accessible to people who need your help. Someone who is seeking help from a psychic is generally one of two things: either curious or at the end of his or her rope. Neither of them deserves to be exploited.
Be consistent in your business. Stay in touch with all your readers on your email list by writing your newsletter and making your presence felt on social media. Consistency creates predictability, and that shows a clear message that you’re serious about your work.
As a coach, you need the commitment to build a community and grow your tribe. Encourage a close bond with your students, as you will learn from their feedback. Your skills will improve.
Clearly communicate what your work is about. Sometimes, tarot is explained in such vague terms that its clients don’t know what they will get out of a reading, or they have some preconceived notions about what a reading will deliver. Tarot readings are not a one-size-fits-all experience. Assist your clients in comprehending exactly what the reading will entail.
The type of services you offer can also affect your earnings.
Offer group readings or workshops: You can earn more money in a single session than if you offer one-on-one coaching. Ask your friends to pass the word around. Get some business cards printed and take out an advertisement in a local newspaper. Make sure to set it up properly, keep records of income and expenditure. Access information about how to set up a small business. You will need to set your fees and decide whether you will go to your clients, if they will come to you, or if you will rent a space somewhere. It is hard work, and you will necessarily be doing a lot of talking. It makes sense to get some form of counseling training.
Tarot Parties: Locally, you can organize parties with your friends and family members, who can invite guests to their homes, and you can do paid readings for their guests. This builds a word-of-mouth clientele, and you can set your own prices, without anyone else deducting fees.
Reading the Tarot at Festivals: Reading at festivals and psychic fairs can be rewarding or disappointing. Some people are embarrassed to be seen getting a reading in a public place. You will either be there because you are involved with a group, or you may hire your own pitch and scoop all the takings.
Online tarot readings: Nowadays, you can read via Skype or Zoom. You could even make a private YouTube video. If you send a written report, you need to be pretty confident of your grammar and presentation. Nothing looks worse than a reading full of basic errors.
Write a Tarot eBook: If you are experienced and have your own style, a unique approach, and something different to offer, then think about self-publishing an eBook. You can sell it off a blog or website, or even give it away for free in order to enhance your business.
Give Tarot Talks: If you have the confidence, then consider giving talks at tarot conventions. It’s a chance to publicize your business and sign your latest book. Connect with tarot organisations that wish to popularize a particular method, system, or approach.
Teach Tarot Workshops: Giving a workshop, i.e., gathering some willing, paying participants and teaching, preparing exercises, games, etc., is a wonderful way of making tarot earn some money for you. Workshops might be best set up with a tarot colleague, as it is a lot of work for one person.
Build a Tarot Website with Advertising Revenue: However, you could create a website or blog simply to share your knowledge, opinions, experiences, and ideas. It’s possible to monetise it so that you receive income from advertisers or via affiliate sales.
Write Tarot Articles for a Paying Site: If you like to write but don’t want to go to the trouble of having your own site, then consider writing for paying sites like HubPages.
Run an Online Tarot Course: Online courses are popular in every subject these days. If you have a website, then a natural extension of your tarot offerings might be a course. It can be delivered live, via scheduled emails, or as a complete one-off download. Include video, audio, PDFs, exercises with feedback, a private Facebook group, and guest teachers. The benefit of virtual products like e-books and online courses is that you can sell them over and over. You can download and install the Orphalese software. You can use your normal deck to draw some cards, then, select the same cards on the computer screen. The beauty of the software is that you can record notes and print out a copy of the spread, including the notes. Then, you could email this to your students.
When you decide to take your course online, the first hurdle is communicating well. Communication is all about communicating from the heart to other hearts, communicating effectively with a deep level of connection, whether it is one-to-one or one-to-many. This will help you create better videos and texts.

Rome was not built in a day. Nothing in nature blooms all year. Be patient with yourself, Practice, practice, practice in the right direction till you make it.
The method you use to charge for your services can also affect how much you earn. Some tarot coaches charge by the hour, while others charge per session or offer packages. It's essential to find a pricing model that works best for you and your clients. The time factor is very important. You have to set goals and be available when your clients need you. Expect to work every day, over most public holidays, and every weekend, it is not a normal 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. job. The truth is, because tarot coaches and experts are self-employed, they work longer hours than average. If you are gifted and work hard, you will live comfortably.
There should be a few rules for your business that you should teach your students.
They need to understand that they have been asked to do a reading, and if that is for “entertainment purposes only” after that, it is up to the client. They will make their own choices about decisions in their lives. A tarot expert will never exploit them by trying to run their lives for them.
They are not allowed to digitally record any session, for the safety of both parties. It is a dangerous world, and one needs to make better choices for better outcomes.
Include a disclaimer stating that the process of how a tarot expert taps into the wisdom of the universe may vary from person to person, and may depend on their individual beliefs and experiences. It is important to note that the practice of tarot reading is not scientifically validated, and the interpretations of the cards and the messages received are subjective and open to interpretation.
