How to Be a Phone Psychic

• Step 1

  Become proficient with tarot card readings. You don't want to be the type of reader that has to flip through the book for every single meaning. You'll need to at least know the basic meanings of the cards so that you don't stall the conversation and leave the caller feeling ripped off.

• Step 2

  Get accepted at a website that offers psychic tarot readings by telephone. Some of these will require a "test" to ensure you are a competent reader.

• Step 3

  Take telephone calls from people at your extension. Have your deck near your phone so you aren't running through the house trying to find it, and make sure to take calls when you will not be interrupted by other matters.

• Step 4

  Draw the cards in any spread you feel appropriate and interpret it for the caller. Remember that this is a conversation, not 20 Questions from the caller, and that to get a more accurate reading, it's okay to learn about the person who is calling.

• Every once in a while, you'll get a smart aleck who says something like this: "Well, if you're psychic, why do I need to tell you anything?" While it may or may not be against your employer's policy to hang up on such people, remember not to let it get to you. Many phone psychics are adept people readers. Understanding word choice, tone and attitude may help you deliver readings more tailored to the individual. Though many people would say that asking questions or reading your caller is fraudulent, using this information to understand your cards and interpret them more accurately is not. Inspect the company with whom you've been hired. Even if you're certain they're legit, there are many tricky scamsters on the web and you should at least run their name by the Better Business Bureau or do a quick search on Google for more information.

• Beware of psychic phone businesses that may try to exploit or scam you! These companies will often present you with vague or muddled contracts, be unclear about their payment mode and and attempt to get you to work for free. Always work within your limit. If you feel too tired to accurately read, log out from the site and don't take any phone calls until you've rested.
