Would you like to get a psychic reading and other similar services, but the readers around you have varying prices? Are you confused to the point that it makes you wonder why some charge as low as USD 25.00, while a handful as high as USD 800.00? Does the higher price automatically translate to a better reading? How much should it really cost, anyway? Well, in general, psychic reading cost usually varies and is driven by a myriad of different factors. To be enlightened with regard to the mentioned matters, it is best to read the succeeding paragraphs. They contain explanations why rates vary and some tips on how to save money along the way.
How much does it cost to go to a psychic?
Psychics usually have a range of per-minute fees. A typical reading costs around USD 15.00 or USD 20.00 with an average per minute prices at about USD 3.50. Of course, it is your choice if you have a longer session or go for someone who has a higher rate.
It should be noted that for psychics or practitioners who meet with their clients one-on-one, their price per session (usually last for an hour) is about USD 100.00 to USD 150.00 per hour; with more famous ones charging about USD 700.00 to USD 1,000.00. The fee is quite high since a significant number of psychics also work as spiritual advisors or life coaches. They make it a point to make a difference in their client’s life, in an effort to substantially change their lives. This, in turn, enables them to attract a number of committed clients.
How much does it cost for a tarot reading?
In tarot readings, there are a number of factors that contribute to the cost discrepancy. First thing’s first and this is probably the most important factor: the market value of the area you live in. By this, it means: what are the individuals in your part of the country willing pay? For instance, a one-hour reading may cost around USD 50.00 in a mid-sized metropolitan area in the Midwest, but the same session may shoot up to about USD 200.00 in New York or Los Angeles. To get the best value, it is best to ask different readers around you, inquire how much they charge, and then compare them.
Also, it is important to note that there are a number of celebrity tarot readers or those who are famous in their own right that charge even more. For example, the late Sylvia Browne was known to charge several hundred dollars for individual readings. On the contrary, an ordinary reader who simply works out of her house or at the back of a small shop charges a lot less. Another thing that you should take into consideration is what value you get for your money. Take note that a USD 200.00 (or whatever amount for this matter) reading is basically worthless—whatsoever—if it doesn’t answer your queries.
How much does a medium charge?
On one hand, you can get a satisfactory reading for approximately USD 25.00 to USD 65.00 per hour. On the other hand, the chances of getting an extraordinary reading in this particular price range are a bit low. This is because as psychics, as well as psychic mediums, improve their abilities and skill set, so do their fees; at least with a vast majority of them. Putting this factor into consideration, some of the most well-versed professionals out there may cost between approximately USD 100.00 to USD 350.00 per hour per reading. That’s a good rate if you’re looking for a worthwhile reading. But bear in mind that psychics as well as psychic mediums who are authors and handle TV personalities (or are TV personalities themselves) charge up to USD 1,000.00 per hour. Nonetheless, if you go for these experts, you can get your money’s worth since that means that they have established themselves when it comes to trustworthiness that’s why they charge such rates.
How much can you make as a psychic?
If you’re seriously contemplating of being a psychic yourself and you want to know how much you can potentially make, then you came to the right place. For starters, take note that an average psychic may make around USD 40,000 – USD 60,000 annually as starting salary. But if you have a good support network that is backed by an exceptional manager; the chances are, you might surpass the USD 100,000 annual income bracket.
Also, it is important to note that while psychic mediums have the tendency to zero-in on their readings as their primary source of income, they can make extra income on the classes that they teach, physical products that they sell (books, crystals, medications, and a myriad of other miscellaneous psychic goods), website and TV advertisements, and so much more. In addition to all these, many mediums also offer a wide array of other services that include mini readings, psychic retainer packages, long-term consultation, and others. This way, they diversify their offerings to somehow aid their finances during slow or off-peak seasons.
Summary
There you have it, some of the rates that are associated to psychic or medium readings. Bear in mind that it is basically up to you to research the rates of the advisors that you are interested in. To get your money’s worth and to make sure that you won’t go overboard, it is ideal to compare several professionals and experts and then come up with a decision afterward. In the process, take note of hidden charges since some do not fully release their rates in an effort to earn more. To add, it is ideal to have a set budget before setting an appointment; this way, you can ensure that you won’t go beyond your limit. Also, you may want to be on the look out for promo deals and other money-saving packages if you want to boost your savings. This is because many psychics offer them every once in a while, especially during off-peak months.
By taking note of the above-mentioned tips, not only would you be able to save cash, you can also avail good readings without burning a hole in your pocket and so much more.
