One of the most valuable places to sell your Tarot readings online is Etsy. Etsy is a website that allows you to sell handmade, vintage, custom, and unique things to potential customers all in one place.
You must make an account and choose a shop name to sell Tarot readings on Etsy. Once you have done this, you should determine what services you want to sell, give your shop a clean and professional look, and then spend time promoting yourself as often as possible.
If you want to expand your client base as a Tarot reader or are brand new to being a Tarot reader and looking for a place to sell them, Etsy is the website to be on. Below we have provided a complete guide on how to quickly and successfully sell Tarot readings on Etsy.
Create an Etsy Account
The first and most obvious thing you need to do is create an Etsy account. You will provide personal information and become a seller when you do this.
When you become a seller, you must first choose a shop name. If you are stuck on what to name your shop, you should choose something that portrays who you are and what you do. In this case, it’s Tarot readings, so it is best to use the word Tarot, readings, or other related words somewhere in the name.
Be creative and unique, and look at other Tarot readers on Etsy to get a good idea of what to do, but remember, don’t use someone else’s name, as that is bad for your business and theirs.

Determine Your Tarot Reading Services
Once you have a shop, you choose what readings to sell. You can create multiple services within your shop that offer different types of readings for different prices.
When you are choosing which ones to pick, here are some different Tarot reading package ideas:
- One-Card Tarot Reading
- Themed Tarot Reading (for example, love/career/friendships)
- Past, Present, Future Three-Card Spread
- Celtic Cross Reading
- Yes or No Question & Answer
- Relationship Prediction Reading
- The Year Ahead Predictions
- Monthly Predictions
- Same Day/Emergency Three-Card Spread
You are welcome to pick and offer as many as you would like, and it is beneficial to have some variety in the style of Tarot reading, the topic of the reading, and the prices of the readings.
Price of Your Readings
While you can set the price differently for each reading, you will have to keep it lower than other more established Tarot readers as you start.
But, a great way to bring in some extra cash is by offering same-day or emergency Tarot readings and charging a higher price.
Another trick to boost up the amount someone is spending is to offer readings that do not specify the number of cards (such as the themed Tarot readings or year-ahead predictions) on a per-card basis. This will allow you to set the prices based on how many cards the customer wants you to draw, and you can even offer discounts on the more they choose.
Make It Look Professional
One of the most critical aspects of your Etsy Tarot reading shop is how professional the site looks. This will come down to three main things you should ensure you spend time on so your site looks professional, trustworthy, and appealing.
Catchy Titles
One of the first things a customer will see is the title. Make sure the title accurately describes the service; in this case, it should just be the name of the Tarot reading. Further details can go in the description. You also want to ensure simplicity and proper spelling.
Professional-Looking Photos
If you want to get people’s attention to your Tarot readings on Etsy and away from others, you should invest some time into taking great-looking photos for each service you offer. If you have an iPhone, you already have a great camera. Use it to take photos of sample Tarot spreads on top of a simple background with bright lighting to make your service look as appealing as possible.
The Tarot Reading Descriptions
After a customer clicks on your Tarot reading service because they loved the title and saw your amazing photos, they will then read the description to learn about what you are offering. You must spend time writing in detail precisely what the customer is getting in their reading. As well as any information you need them to provide, you can do the reading easily after making a purchase.
If you can master these three things, your business is set up to succeed, and now you need to focus on getting people to your Etsy shop and making sure once people get there and like what they see, they make a purchase. This will be covered in the next few steps.
Create Social Media Pages
One of the best free and easy ways to promote yourself is through social media. Create an Instagram or a Facebook account, and if you feel like spreading your reach, you can try out YouTube, Twitter, and Tik Tok. Do not stress, though; even if you only have Instagram or Facebook, you can get a lot of attention on those alone.
When you make the account, it is best to give it the same name as your shop or use your name. Add the Etsy shop link in your biography or somewhere it is easy to find. Use the accounts to promote yourself and your business by providing Tarot related content and possibly even free one-card readings.
Connect With Others
Once you have launched your shop, it is time to get networking. Reach out to other people through social media selling Tarot readings.
Connecting with like-minded people is a great way to gain inspiration for what you should be doing, find support from others, and, best of all, get your name out there in the Tarot reading community.
Ask for Reviews
After you have done some readings, ask people for reviews of what they thought. If you are providing the reading through an email, add to the end of every email that you would appreciate some feedback.
When people provide reviews, potential customers will be able to see how many stars you have on your profile and what other people are saying. If someone compliments your work, ask them to post a review directly on your shop page.
If you do not have reviews, people will not know whether or not to trust what you are doing. So, having other people rave about your readings, other people are more likely to purchase a reading.
Final Thoughts
Etsy is a website that allows you to sell handmade, vintage, custom, and unique items. To sell Tarot readings on Etsy, you must create an account and choose a shop name.
After creating a shop, you can determine which services you want to sell, give your shop a professional look, and promote yourself as often as possible. It is beneficial to offer a variety of Tarot reading packages, including different styles of readings, topics, and prices. The price of your readings should be lower than established Tarot readers at first, but you can charge a higher price for same-day or emergency readings.
You should also ensure that your shop is professional-looking by using catchy titles, professional-looking photos, and well-written descriptions for each service. Finally, you should promote yourself on social media, join Tarot groups, and offer discounts to attract customers.
