Video Tarot Readings
Marketing Yourself
When you make the desicion to try to make a living from your tarot readings it's important to use every resource at your disposal. Today's technology and the availability of such websites as Youtube and tarotforum.net allows the average joe to gather a following with minimal cost.
If you decide to use Youtube or another video sharing site to present yourself to potential clients there are three major points to consider.
The following videos are of tarot readings I have done for people in chatrooms and on E-bay. As many of them involve their screennames and no personal information I am free to use their videos.
Your Set
Here I'm in my old apartment. My paintings and bookshelves are in the background and I feel they give me a kind of at-home look. I was comfortable here and it's important that you feel comfortable in the area where you conduct your readings to give customers a sense that you know what you're doing.
Appearance and Attitude
Whether it's a cape or cloak, dress shirt and tie, or whatever your appearance should be first and foremost professional. You need to look like someone that people will want to do business with.
It also helps to remember that there are people out there who have gifts of their own. And unlike most markets this is one where you will want to reach out to as many of those people as possible.
Mission Statement
Sometimes after a reading customers will ask me how long I've been doing this. This is a great chance to tell people what it is you are after personally and what goals you wish to accomplish. It may even be a way to attract potential investors.
I still haven't found those investors but I'm not going to say no to them either.
