Do this right now: How to make a LOT more money reading the same cards
2w ago00:26:44Tap to summarizeHow do you give $300 readings instead of $20 ones? You have to know how to phrase the questions you ask "God" (your angels, spirit guides, the gods, the universe —however you want to address the divine). Imagine for a moment you had a telephone directly to the most intelligent minds in creation, omniscient and helpful: why would you say something as stupid as "just tell me anything," or "win the lottery for me so I don't have to think or take responsibility for anything." You should be asking how to solve crimes, cure diseases, and get better relationships (for yourself and others). You should be asking highly specific and detailed questions that lead you TO an answer, not hand you a simple finished product that leaves you guessing how to implement it. Let me give you an example: if you com to me and say "How can I get rich?" I can tell you "save more than you spend, then invest that money, and always buy low and sell high." In this case I have done my job, but done you a disservice — right? So let me give you a better way of doing things: we manage the "small talk" we have with our clients WHILE WE SARE SHUFFLING (remember "rule #1 . . .) so that it sounds like small talk but is really framing the inquiry while we are deciding exactly which spread will give us the MOST, pertinent information so that WE CAN come up with an answer. This is how readers who charge $400+ an hour do this. So let us teach you the basics of that today, for free. Keep in mind that we have an entire academy for you! Courses, study groups, support networks, friendships with real tarot experts, and even personalized mentorship from one of the best tarot teachers in the world — all for ONE DOLLAR (for your first month — and then it is a miserly ten dollars a week to learn how to make $100+ an hour. You *do* want to make money reading cards, right? Here's the problem. Clients sit down and say "just tell me anything." That's like walking into your mechanic's shop and saying "my car's not doing anything, you figure it out." Your mechanic charges $150 an hour to diagnose that. You should be thinking the same way — minimum wage in this job is $60 an hour, and the pros are pulling $1,200. In this episode we cover how to interrogate your client (politely — it just sounds like small talk), how to pick your question word (what, how, who, when...) and match it to a spread you actually know cold, why yes/no questions are a great way to make clients wonder why they paid you, the four magic words that take control of any wandering reading, and the one sentence you say before you deal that saves you from 20 minutes of reading about the wrong thing. Then at the end: summation and marching orders. That's how you get tips, repeat clients, and referrals — free raises, no rate hike required. Want study groups, forums, and live help from me?

How to get a new deck attuned to you
Apr 2700:16:01Tap to summarizeI 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 into those cards by working them in properly, because a deck you have truly made your own will always give you better information than one you just pulled out of a box and started using. This doesn't mean that you can't give great readings with someone else's deck(s), but new decks are like new Doc Martens. They are a p.i.t.a. until you break them in, so in this short session you will learn how to physically condition a new deck so it actually cooperates when you shuffle. We will cover things like how to psychically clear a used deck you picked up from someone else and how to develop a real relationship with decks that use unfamiliar art so the images start communicating with you. We also give you an easy technique for seeing the essential image allegorical meanings without ever relying on keywords. We even go on about how to read a deck's color palette and it's themes so you understand what that deck is trying to tell you. Also of course we have a fun storytelling exercise that works with any deck. Okay, so listen up and give yourself a few days to work your new deck through all of these techniques and exercises. You will find your new deck much more pliable and friendly in your hands. For much deeper training, come see us at easytarotlessons.com. We will help you become genuinely great at this, and yes, we will show you how to make serious money doing it. Thanks for being here! Now go be awesome!

How to make real money working tarot events
Apr 2300:44:31Tap to summarizeThis is a special episode: Pardon the sound quality: This was a secret recording specifically for our students about creating and running your own tarot events. This lesson is broken down into four parts (you will want to take notes on this). There is a lot of ground to cover and every bit of it can save you real money and real headaches. You will learn the difference between events you participate in and events you organize yourself, and why knowing which one you are actually ready for matters. We examine your options as a participant: private tarot parties and psychic fairs, pop-up vendor events, and becoming a house reader at a local business. Then we get into the good stuff! This is a solid lecture on how to build your own event from scratch without burning through your budget before your first client ever walks through the door. That means finding the right host business, curating your vendors so everyone walks away happy, building a marketing machine that draws on the combined reach of every person at your event, and knowing your numbers before you commit to a single thing. We also cover how to price your time, how to turn every attendee into a referral source, and how to debrief after your first event so that everything that follows runs even smoother. After you listen, start your market research before you spend a dollar. Visit local events as a guest, talk to vendors, and watch what draws a crowd. Find one business in your area that already attracts the kind of people who would love what you do, and start a conversation. If you want the full course on how to get a lot of paying clients, come to our free Saturday workshops and ask Dusty, or sign up at easytarotlessons.com since it is already part of our tarot course. Once you are certified you can access our $5,000 course on landing lots of paying clients WITHOUT having to pay the five thousand dollar fee! Okay, thanks for being here!

Step-by-step: Easy lesson on training your intuition
Apr 1900:29:35Tap to summarizeToday 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 of the step-by-step methods we have spent decades teaching. You'll learn how to settle your awareness into the exact state where intuition flows naturally, how to set a clear target so your subconscious has something to actually work toward, and how to move into a receptive, proactively searching state that opens you up to real impressions. I'll walk you through a quick 60-second reset technique that keeps you focused, how to work with The Fool card from your tarot deck as a training tool. After you develop even a basic skill any card will work, but after you listen, pull out your Fool card, carve out a few quiet minutes, and try this out. Do it again tomorrow. In fact, do this on a regular basis. It helps if you have a pen within reach to capture everything your impressions. Want to go further? Come find us at our free Saturday workshops! Also when you're serious about developing REAL magical abilities, come see us at easytarotlessons.com. Thanks for being here! Now go be awesome!

How to Get Hired as a Tarot Reader at Shops (and Actually Get Clients!)
Apr 900:18:39Tap to summarizeMost 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.

You should be charging $100 every time you cast this spread
Mar 2800:20:06Tap to summarizeHi! 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 flesh out each option. This is the secret method we use in the mystery school, and experts use for their very best executive clients who demand specificity and accuracy — but they also want depth and validation that these answers are based in reality. Grab your cards and learn this spread. This is not a spread for casual readers or beginners. This simple spread goes deep into the cause and effect of ANY situation, and you should be charging at least $100 every time you cast it, even though it is not a large spread; but it's okay if you want to charge less so that people can afford your services. But if you do, you are giving them a real bargain price. So come listen to how this spread works. Also, go to https://www.advancedtarotsecrets.com and click on Handouts to get the PDF of this spread free! But we explain it all to you in today's free lesson — and also — we give you inside secrets only in this lesson hon how to really get the most from this spread.

How to make $100 an hour with your cards instead of $20 or $30 an hour
Mar 2400:40:03Tap to summarizeToday we're breaking down one of the most important shifts you can make as a reader: the difference between a $20 reading and a $100 reading! Not more cards, not more theatrics — better structure, clearer thinking, and delivering real value your client can actually use. This episode covers what separates casual, low-paid readings from professional sessions people are happy to pay for. Whether you're reading for friends, clients, or looking to turn this into real income, the principles here apply immediately. We focus on how to use structured spreads, ask the right questions while shuffling, and turn a reading into a problem-solving session instead of vague spiritual commentary. We walk through how to choose spreads that match the question, why card positions matter as much as the cards themselves, and how to guide a session so your client walks away with clarity, options, and next steps. This is the difference between someone saying "that was interesting" and someone saying "that helped me" — and coming back again. Grab your cards, take a few notes, and let's raise your rates!

Easy Tarot Lessons — Spread of the Day: "How Does ___ Feel About Me?"
Mar 2000:24:49Tap to summarizeToday we're kicking off a new series called Spread of the Day — short, focused tarot lessons built around a single spread you can actually use. No fluff, no filler. Just the cards, the layout, and everything you need to walk away ready to read. This episode covers one of the most requested tarot readings out there: how does a specific person feel about you — or about a proposition you're putting on the table? Whether you're asking about a romantic interest, a raise, or a business deal, this four-card spread delivers the kind of specific, actionable insight that separates a good reader from a great one. We walk through the full layout, how to use two significators to sharpen your focus in a small spread, and what each card position is actually telling you — what they like, what they want, what's holding them back, and the direct advice that ties it all together. This is the kind of tarot reading you can do in five minutes or stretch into a full client session, and it's versatile enough to keep in your core rotation for years. Grab your cards, download the free PDF handout at AdvancedTarotSecrets.com, and let's get into it.
