How to Work As a Psychic Hotline Operator

Tarot cards are one important tool of psychics.

Psychic hotlines offer psychics the opportunity to easily connect with clients while working from home, but certain dubious practices---from pressing psychics to exploit clients, to maintaining policies that sometimes bar psychics from continuous employment and pay---require caution. Psychics must also keep their abilities fine-tuned despite the draining effects of remaining on call for hours at a time, as well as balance their clairvoyance with basic counseling skills.

Things You'll Need

• Tarot cards or other psychic tools

Instructions

Working as a Psychic Hotline Operator

1. Find a fair opportunity. Vet any psychic hotline operator to determine whether its pay schemes require exorbitant hours worked within a certain period to qualify for pay. Watch out for other questionable practices, including paying the operator for time taking calls instead of total time online, encouraging the operator to drag out calls in order to increase bills, and requiring the operator to take addresses or other information from the caller.

   To find a reputable hotline, Psychic Junkie recommends you peruse "up market" magazines and look for half- and full-page advertisements only. These should list free lines to talk to a customer service operator as a convenience to clients. Once you have made contact with the company, anticipate performing one or more trial readings for the hiring personnel.

2. Hone your ability---many psychics consider themselves to have genuine clairvoyant abilities, and Psychic Junkie testifies that you can develop these skills. Meditate, work with alpha entrainment or start to free associate meanings from tarot cards to begin. Psychic Junkie lists dozens of available divination methods, from Aeromancy to Zylomancy, you can consider for your repertoire.

   As you start to work with a psychic hotline, take care not to drain yourself energetically while waiting to take calls. Lipstick Mystic confirms that one of the greatest challenges of working as a psychic hotline operator lies in the difficulty of maintaining a receptive psychic state, so explore how to safely keep yourself receptive for the hours you work.

3. Understand common topics; Emily Yoffe, after signing on with a psychic hotline operator, found herself fielding dozens of calls on the subject of love. Money is another enduring theme. Other callers will provide no information whatsoever in order to test psychics; utilize psychic tools such as the tarot to begin to make a connection to the client.

4. Finally, as Psychic Junkie advises, consider taking a basic counseling course to better serve clients' needs. Yoffe asserts that many clients would benefit from a therapist. Use a multidimensional approach and enrich your clairvoyant abilities with a healthy level of compassion, confidence and common sense to support the caller best.
