How Do I Find Work as a Psychic Online?

Finding steady work as a psychic isn’t as straightforward as typing “psychic jobs” into Indeed or LinkedIn. If you’ve already tried, you’ve probably noticed that those job boards don’t list much for spirit mediums, tarot readers, or astrologers. That can feel discouraging. But here’s the truth: most psychics don’t build their careers through traditional job applications. They build it online, in smaller steps, often through platforms that were designed with them in mind.

So, how do you actually find work as a psychic online? Let’s walk through the main paths and what really works in practice.

Why Traditional Job Boards Don’t Work for Psychics

The first place people usually go is a job site. It makes sense—you want work, you look for jobs. But the problem is that platforms like Indeed or Monster are made for companies hiring employees. Psychic work is almost always freelance or independent contractor. There aren’t “open positions” in the same way there are for teachers or nurses.

I actually remember looking once out of curiosity. The search results came up with random unrelated things—customer service jobs, retail roles—nothing to do with tarot or astrology. It’s a dead end.

So if you’ve been refreshing job boards every week, waiting for “Psychic Medium Needed” to appear, you might be waiting forever.

Option 1: Joining Established Psychic Platforms

Most psychics online today start out by joining an existing psychic network. These are websites that already attract customers searching for readings. Big names include Keen, Purple Garden, and Kasamba.

The benefit here is obvious: you don’t have to go out and find clients yourself. The platform already spends money on ads and SEO to bring people in. You just create a profile, set your availability, and start taking calls or chats.

However, there’s a trade-off. Most of these platforms take a significant commission. In some cases, it’s 40–50% of what the client pays. That means if you charge $2 per minute, you might only get $1. And you’re competing with hundreds of other readers.

It can still be worth it, especially for beginners who need exposure. But if you want to build a real income and keep more of what you earn, you’ll probably need other options too.

Option 2: Building Your Own Website and Brand

The opposite approach is to skip platforms altogether and build your own presence. That means setting up a personal website, maybe adding booking software, and using social media (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) to attract an audience.

This route gives you total freedom. You set your prices, your style, your terms. No commission cuts. But here’s the catch: you also have to do all the marketing yourself. That means creating content, running ads (if you can afford them), and slowly building trust with strangers on the internet.

I know a tarot reader who built her client list this way. She started on Instagram, posting a card pull every morning. Over time, her followers grew. Eventually, people began asking her for personal readings. Now she works full-time, entirely from her own website. But it took her nearly three years to get there.

So it’s possible. Just be prepared for the long game.

Option 3: Hybrid Platforms for Specialists

This is a newer option, and it sits somewhere between the big psychic networks and building your own site. There are now platforms designed for independent professionals—psychologists, coaches, tutors, and yes, psychics—that handle the tech side for you.

Book&Connect is one example. Instead of being a “psychic directory” where clients browse hundreds of profiles, it’s a platform where you bring your own clients but get tools that make your work smoother: scheduling, payments, and even pay-per-minute billing.

That last feature is important. If you’ve ever used Zoom or Google Meet for readings, you know how awkward it gets when the hour is up but the client wants “just five more minutes.” You either cut them off abruptly or you give away extra time for free. With a platform like this, the clock and billing handle it for you automatically.

The other benefit is international reach. You’re not limited to clients in your city or country. Anyone can book you, and the system manages currency and payments.

It’s not a magic fix—you still need to attract people to your profile—but once they’re there, the process is seamless.

Pricing and Income Expectations

No matter which path you take, the big question comes up: how much can you actually earn?

Rates vary widely. Some beginners charge $20 for a half-hour reading. Others ask $100+ for the same time. On pay-per-minute models, you’ll see anywhere from $1 to $5 per minute. The sweet spot usually depends on your experience and the trust you’ve built with clients.

One mistake I’ve seen new psychics make is setting prices too low, thinking it will attract more people. Sometimes it works, but often it just makes clients think you’re inexperienced. A better approach is to start at a fair mid-range and raise your rates gradually as you gain reviews and confidence.

Tips for Attracting Clients

Work doesn’t come just from being available online. You need to be seen. A few things help:

1. Consistency matters. Whether you’re on Instagram or TikTok, posting regularly builds trust.

2. Referrals are gold. Ask happy clients to recommend you. Word of mouth still works, even online.

3. Specialize. Instead of offering “all psychic services,” focus on tarot for relationships or astrology for career guidance. Niches stand out.

4. Offer short sessions. A 10-minute quick reading can convert a hesitant first-timer into a loyal client.

5. Be responsive. People who reach out don’t want to wait three days for a reply. Speed wins.

   
   

A Personal Note

I’ll admit, I’ve spoken with psychics who felt stuck—working late nights, giving away extra time for free, never sure if clients would return. And then, after switching to a proper system that handled scheduling and payments, the whole tone of their work changed. They felt more professional, and clients respected their time more.

It’s a small shift, but it makes a difference.

The Path Forward

So, how do you find work as a psychic online?

• Skip the traditional job boards. They won’t help.

• Consider psychic networks if you want quick exposure (but be ready for high commissions).

• Build your own website and brand if you’re patient and willing to market yourself.

• Or use hybrid platforms that give you professional tools without locking you into a directory.

The best choice depends on your goals. If you want freedom and are ready to hustle, build your own brand. If you want stability and ready-made clients, join a network. And if you want flexibility with fair tools, something like Book&Connect might be worth a look.

Finding work as a psychic online isn’t impossible. It just doesn’t follow the same path as other careers. You don’t need a job posting—you need clients, trust, and a system that respects your time.

And maybe a little patience.
