Easy Tarot Lessons!

I know we have talked about this before, but most of you missed it, and I wanted to address this from a new angle: what to actually do when a new deck shows up in your life. Gift, impulse buy, online order, it fell out of the sky . . . it doesn't matter how it got to you. Every new deck comes out of the box stiff, slippery, and completely indifferent to you. Too many decks today also have sharp edges that cut into your fingers after an entire day of shuffling and giving readings. New decks have zero connection to your energy.  Your job is to fix that. You need to get your psychic essence...

Step-by-step: Easy lesson on training your intuition show art Step-by-step: Easy lesson on training your intuition

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Today we're focusing on *specifically how* to access your intuition on demand and recognize it. We have covered tapping into your intuition before, but this subject is so essential I wanted to come back at it from a fresh direction and give you a practical method you can start using right now (tonight), because a year from now you need to have this fully developed. Your intuition is a gateway of course, not some mystical gift that a lucky few are born with and the rest of us aren't. It is a real, teachable function of your subconscious mind, and in this free lesson I'm walking you through one...

Easy Tarot Lessons!

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...

Hey! Do you want to make a *LOT* of money reading cards? show art Hey! Do you want to make a *LOT* of money reading cards?

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Use this spread! Everyone falls in love. And everyone gets their heart broken. One of the most common questions you will be asked over and over is how your client can get the love they want. How can they find someone (they want) to worship them? How can they get in a relationship they want to be in?   This is what people pay for — in matchmaking services, dating apps, an endless amounts of money on makeup, fashion, fancy cards, and tons of money going to clubs. How much money do people waste on drinks at clubs trying to get people to date them?  Today's spread is called "How do I...

You should be charging $100 every time you cast this spread  show art You should be charging $100 every time you cast this spread

Easy Tarot Lessons!

Hi! Today's tarot spread is a binary choice spread that gives you simple, clean, clear, ACCURATE answers instantly, but also goes deep into the "how's, and why's" of each option so that you can give your client really DETAILED and highly specific answers when they want to know whether they should "do this, or that." This spread is super-easy, but it won't do the work for you. You get three significators to help you absolutely focus on the person you are reading about "in the context of the dilemma they are facing," and even their preferred outcome. Then we cast a short spread, and then we...

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:
 
  • Why you’re not applying for a job (and what shop owners actually care about)
  • How to position yourself as a partner who brings in customers
  • The #1 mistake that makes readers invisible (and how to fix it instantly)
  • How to create demand instead of waiting for it
  • Why your setup is silently selling for you (or quietly driving people away)
  • The truth about pricing—and why cheaper does NOT mean more clients
  • How to structure short readings that feel valuable and lead to longer sessions
  • The “souvenir reading” strategy that turns strangers into repeat clients
  • What makes a shop worth working with — and when to walk away
 
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).
 
✨ Here's the bottom line:
 
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.
