Special episode: This was surreptitiously recorded for students ready to do their own events or working with others. This is not a full course on how to get lots of paying clients. This is a primer, but it will reveal what really works and how to avoid losing money when you do (or host your own) events.
Today we are talking about one of the most exciting moves you can make as a working tarot reader: creating and running your own tarot events. We have broken this down into four parts, so grab a pen and get ready to take notes, because there is a lot of ground to cover and every bit of it can save you serious money and 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 to your career (and your reputation!). We walk through your options as a participant, from private tarot parties and psychic fairs to pop-up vendor events and becoming a house reader at a local business, and then we get into the good stuff: how to build your own event from scratch without blowing your budget before your first client walks through the door.
This means finding the right host business, curating your vendors so that EVERYONE benefits, building a marketing machine that uses the collective reach of every person at your event, and knowing your numbers before you commit to anything.
We also cover how to price your time, how to turn every single attendee into a referral source, and how to debrief after your first event so that your future events are even better.
After you listen to this, start doing your market research before you spend a single dollar. Visit local events as a guest, talk to vendors, and pay attention to 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.
