If you want to become a psychic, it helps to be born with psychic abilities. If you weren’t born with any notable psychic abilities, your best bet would be to have a passion for the paranormal, good intuition, and empathy for your fellow man. With natural abilities like these, some people can learn to be psychic by becoming proficient in certain skills like palm reading, Tarot cards, etc. Once you have learned these skills, you may develop more intuition and psychic abilities over time. .
Empathy is important for several reasons. If you want to be a psychic just for the purpose of making money without caring about people, you are bound to fail. Not only will people feel your purpose, but your karma will come back to you. If you’re serious about becoming a psychic, you already know that everything that happens, comes back.
This is not to say that you cannot or should not make money as a psychic. Even psychics have to eat and support their families. In fact, many psychics make a very good living while doing what they love and are good at. This article is about the business of being a psychic and how to become a psychic from a business standpoint.
The first thing you’ll want to do once you know what psychic abilities you possess or would like to help people with, is go out and help a few people. If you’re good at pointing people in the right direction and accurately predicting what they need to do to improve their lives, you’ll start to garner a small following. A small following will be real world proof that you can get a larger number of followers. You will need a large following if you want to make a full-time career and income from your talent.
Once you have a small number of followers, you will want to increase it. Go to your local New Age bookstores website and check their calendar of events. You can meet a lot of like-minded local people in those places. You need to have a business card that you can hand out to prospects and potential strategic alliances (people you can help and who can help your business) alike.
You can also advertise your services in local classifieds or for free online at places like Craigslist. Another way to extend your services to the local population, as well as people who live far away, is through the Internet.
There are online services that will allow you to set up an account and become a counselor for them. These services work and many people are making money from them. The problem with this type of arrangement is that there is a lot of competition and the rates are quite high, usually around 40% plus a service charge for each call. If you bring someone to a service like this to do your reading, you may lose them to a more favored psychic with better ratings, more track record, or a cheaper price.
The best way to expand your following, and also satisfy your current customers who want a reading but don’t have time to visit, is through your own website system. A website with an integrated phone service gives you the best of both worlds. It gives you a professional way to engage and educate visitors and searchers about your services, as well as a way to monetize those visitors by doing phone readings and billing their credit cards directly.
Such a website, if built correctly, will attract customers 24 hours a day with almost no work on your part. It’s also the perfect sales tool and online brochure. Anyone who wants to become a professional psychic, or is already a psychic with a following, would certainly benefit greatly from this site.
