Tarot by HH
Originally by Satina:- Hi Chesed and others, I was thinking, and what if for your first paid reading, if you're nervous about asking for money, you just ask for a donation
[/quote] When I read for charity I seed a glass container with several tens and a couple of twenties to encourage donations in those denominations
If you accept donations for yourself you need to keep records and report the money as income
Personally I think it is a mistake to ask for donations based upon the premise of "whatever the querant felt the reading was worth
" When I go to get my haircut I do not pay the cosmetician what I feel the service was worth, when I go to dinner I do not pay what I felt the meal was worth
.check around and see what the going rate for a reading in your locale is
Decide if you are going to charge a flat rate, an hourly rate, or a card rate
TELL your clients what your rates and do not undervalue either yourself or your services
Keep in mind the adage, " You get what you pay for
"
Ask for what you are worth! HH
