Start an Astrology Business for Adventure With Big Profits
By Siriol Jameson
When you start an astrology business, it is like getting a ticket to adventure. Plus
that, there are a lot of new people waiting to meet you. Everybody loves astrology and gets
a thrill out of seeing their horoscope. You will find that your market is large and growing.
But, what is astrology? Astrology goes all the way back to ancient Egypt and to the Babylonians.
Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans depended on astrology to guide them in battle, reap the
harvest, build cities, and establish a happy and fruitful family life.
Astrology is a way of reading a person's character, discovering his or her inner strengths,
and uncovering clues as to what he or she should do in the future. Astrology is based on the
position of the sun, the moon, and the ascending sign when you are born.
Astrology is also tied to the zodiac. The zodiac is similar to a giant belt in the sky.
It contains twelve constellations, also known as sun signs. When you are born, the sun is in
one of the zodiac sun signs. It takes twelve months for the sun to pass through each of the
sun signs.
Charting an astrological chart is easy today because you can do it with the help of one
of many computer software programs.
Here are a few ways to start a home business in astrology and make money:
1. Start a Home-Based Business
The easiest way to start your home business in astrology is to join a trade association.
It is a place to meet other astrologers, take courses, get accredited, and find job opportunities.
A well-respected trade association is the American Federation of Astrologers.
2. Find Clients
Many astrologers find their best clients on cruise ships. They are paid and get free
travel by applying to the cruise line. When hired, you are taken on as part of the entertainment
staff. This job is fun and gives you all the practice you need.
Show clients credentials. Clients love to see them. Have at least three references. You
can get these from friends and family. Join a trade association such as the American Federation
of Astrologers. Become a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau.
Clients like to deal with a member of a large organization. It is also important to have a
resume and a cover letter.
Event planners are good clients. Offer your astrological readings to them for a flat fee. There
are countless charity events, parties, and political fund raisers that are seeking interesting
persons like you to make their event a success. Design a great Website to advertise your services
and products. Offer a prepaid membership site where clients can come for astrology readings.
You could also sell membership to a toll-free telephone line where clients can get an
in-depth reading. Make the readings prerecorded and update them bi-weekly or weekly.
3. Offer Astrological Products
You can sell products and tie them into astrology in interesting ways. One of these products
could be food. Think about recipes that are perfect for each sign of the zodiac. The famous
astrologer, Sydney Omarr did this and wrote a best-selling book, "Cooking With Astrology."
Other products that are popular now are cakes decorated with a zodiac sign, as well as
jewelry, wild socks, wall plaques, book plates, greeting cards, and playing cards with zodiac signs.
If you feel it is time for you to use your ticket to adventure and make money, you could
start astrology business today. However, if you are not sure and just want to get your toe
wet, you could start an astrology business and work at home on a part-time basis.
