Going from Freebies to Charging

Going from Freebies to Charging 

This decision is when you decide you are ready to accept payment of some sort for the readings you do... You have been reading for family and friends, work colleagues, online in a forum or in a group... You have practiced and  Practiced.. You have found your readings make sense.. People relate to what you are saying, you know the cards, not by memory but by intuition, by connection to the cards... You truly understand what the cards are saying .... Overall you feel you are ready... 

What's the next step?  Decide are you reading online or face to face? Are you reading at home or in a space at a store, a fair, an expo, a market, at  the homes  of others? 

Then look at what type of readings do you offer?  Can you read for 30 minutes face to face?   Can you read for an hour?  Do you prefer to do  E-mail readings and take your time so charge by the card... There are so many things to decide.. Write down a plan of action and things you need to organize.. A website  or a blog that people can look at and see what you offer... a  place that enables you to share your prices, your services, your contact details ... 

Now How do you advertise?  A poster- physical poster you can place at  local businesses, or a poster you can post online, networking with others of like-mind.. Sharing your prices and services, a link to your site...  This may take some time, it might be awhile before someone asks about a reading.. But keep it up, keep persevering.   

All of this is decided by You not by what other's say.. How do you feel about charging? Do you value the time you spend with someone in a reading.? Remember there are many who do not appreciate the time and energy put into a reading so do not truly value the fee you may be asking.. but remember there are also many who do value the time and effort you put into a reading and so will pay the price you decide to ask.... .. 

AS you are starting out prices could range from $10-$30 for 30 minutes approx  ... depending how you feel... 

I remember When I First started I would do a 10- 15 min reading at a expo for $5  and I ended up doing over 35 readings all day.. I was exhausted and so tired  ....  I could hardly speak by the end of it ... 

 I learnt sometimes doing less by charging a little more eventually allowed me to not be so

 exhausted and still cover my costs .... (you have to able to cover costs of hiring the site )

Don't ask others what they would pay?  Set a fee ,..... 

You can have a sliding scale  or do a donation  for a reading ...if you wish .. but make the decision whether you will charge or not and decide what the fee will be.  This is your decision..

Do YOU BELIEVE IN YOU>>>
