| Reading Offer, in a serious crunch here... |
[Aug. 20th, 2009|01:43 am] |
This is not an update. That will have to wait until... heh. Another time, anyways. I have a prompt for posting that I need to actually do, but first I must take care of some business.
Things are tight right now. Really, unbelievably, panic-inducing tight. It's beyond "crunch time" and into "flail about while screaming like a little girl because the deadlines are going to eat you" time.
So... Having taken care of a lot of the stuff I still had on my plate, and having a better chance of actually having reliable access on my own schedule very soon, I need to do everything I can to make money. Now.
This, of course, means tarot readings.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer them for tips, and other than special promotions I do not know that I will be doing so at any time in the future. For the most part, things went well, but there were, unfortunately, some serious issues I cannot afford to deal with. One of them was that, even though the very nature of tips is unpredictable, I ran into more unreliability than usual at times when I could least afford it. It seems that the farther I got outside my immediate circle, the longer and longer it took for people to even get back to me for follow-up, and then even those who said they were going to tip often just dropped out of sight. There have been wonderful exceptions to this, but not enough for me to be able to count on and plan around.
So, I will now be asking for payment up-front, with readings available at different price levels. I have been working for awhile to find different layouts that work for me at different levels of depth and detail. I will be getting a web site up soon, but for now here is the official word:
Readings
$5 - A basic quick answer-to-a-question with a "does it look good/favorable or not" sort of response. Ya'll know me, I never could say anything in twenty words or less (heh), so this will likely be about a paragraph's worth. You know, my long rambly ones, but only about one. You should note that looking for a black-and-white, yes-or-no answer from tarot cards is not really going to work. It is more likely to come out "This negative issue is in the way" or "This is helping it move to a positive place" in very basic terms. (A)
$10 - A basic "this is the underlying issue" sort of reading, without the in-depth details. It covers what led to it, what it is focused on, and what direction is being suggested. I have no idea how long the write-ups for this will be right now, in light of that whole "wordy" thing I have going for me. (B)
$20 - Your basic situational reading, with more depth than the above as far as what the issues really are and where they came from. Also, this one includes a follow-up question for clarification, at least for now. (C)
$35 - Much like the above, only including more about what is blocking or helping the situation and what needs to be looked at more closely. Also includes a follow-up, with a more detailed answer. (D)
$50 - A Consultation Reading. This is the one that gets into all the whys and wherefores, looks at what choices led from one part to another, what is blocking everything, what is working... etc. and so forth. It generally involves a follow-up or two, depending on the reading and the issue, and occasionally some seriously in-depth back and forth discussion. This is the reading some of my older, more regular clients generally get from me, even if they didn't know it at the time. ;) ("Consultation")
How-To
1. Payments go to nalidoll AT gmail DOT com, through paypal. From now on, readings do not get done until they are marked paid, unless I have made other arrangements with you ahead of time. This is only likely to happen with repeat clients and people I know personally, however. When sending the payment, include the email you will be using to contact me, if it is not the same email as that listed on the payment.
2. Email me at the above email address with "Tarot Request" and the level of reading (A-D, Consultation) you would like to receive in the subject line. Other than that, all I *need* is the name you prefer to be called by, except for the (A) level readings, where I need your question.
3. I will do the readings in the order I receive payment and send them out to you.
The blahblahblah about me, for them what don't know...
1. I have been doing this over twenty years. I read a little of everything, with cards being my favorite.
2. Yes, I am pretty damn good at it. Thank heavens.
3. I am currently using the Housewives' Tarot. It makes me happy. |
