How to Get Hired as a Tarot Reader at Shops (and Actually Get Clients)
Most tarot readers think the hard part is getting hired.
It’s not. The hard part is sitting there for two hours with your cards laid out watching people walk by and nobody asks you for a reading. Not only is that embarrassing *and* boring, but how can you possibly make any money that way?
In today's session Dusty and Maggie break down what actually gets you hired at a metaphysical shop—and more importantly, what gets people to sit down, trust you, and pay you.
Because this isn’t about luck. It’s not about being “gifted.” And it’s definitely not about undercharging until someone takes a chance on you. This is about understanding the real job.
🔑 What you’ll learn in this episode:
How to create demand instead of waiting for it
Most people think reading at shops is about what happens at the table; but it’s not. It’s about everything that happens before someone ever sits down. It's about how you approach the shop to begin with, and whether that shop is a good fit for you. It's about the way you present yourself to the owner, so they see you as a value add-on instead of another mouth to feed. Shop owners have their own bills to pay and endless paperwork, contracts, and taxes. They have to guess what people will actually pay for, and how to get them into the shop to pay for things at all. I know from personal experience that running a shop is not as glamorous as working at one.
So we need to get you spiffed up so you can look like a real professional who will bring value and customers in to their shop to spend money on books and supplies. If you understand that — truly get that — and apply even a few of the ideas we are covering today, you won’t be the reader sitting in the corner hoping someone notices you. You will be a valuable addition to any retail environment. You’ll be the one people walk across the room to find.
Keep in mind that this is a 20 minute crash course on getting yourself into shape to read at a store. The most important steps are there, but we have an entire academy at easytarotlessons.com where we do more than teach you how to read cards like a seasoned professional. We teach you how to get LOTS of paying clients. But today's lesson is about getting you out the door and knocking on doors (of places you want to start reading at this week).
You’re not just a tarot reader. You’re an experience that brings energy, attention, and revenue into the room. And when you start presenting yourself like it, well everything changes. If you really want to learn how to be a tarot ninja, check out our textbook: Advanced Tarot Secrets and our community at easytarotlessons.com. These free lessons are just the beginning, but if you want to learn how to make $20 an hour right now reading cards, we have a lesson on that as well. It's just down the list, and it is free as well. You should check that out now.
