Proof You Are Good

When I was in India, I saw this technique used a lot by the wandering psychic readers (and ear cleaners) who frequented the tourist haunts. They would carry a notebook around with them, and after they gave a reading, they'd have the customer write a few lines telling how great the reader was.

Of course, when the reader approached people, he'd show them his testimonial book. That would hook them in, they'd get a reading. The reader would get his fee and another testimonial.

If you are giving readings at events like psychic fairs or restaurants, you might want to start doing the same. After you've given the reading, ask your clients for a testimonial in writing and signed.

Then, once you have enough testimonials, you can have your book prominently displayed proving to prospective clients that you're the real deal.
