Why I Charge For Readings

I don’t think a day goes by where someone doesn’t ask me for a free reading. When I say I don’t give free readings, they ask why I charge for my grift. If it’s a gift, I should share it for free. So I’m going to try to be as polite as I can muster and explain why I charge for my readings.

While some may call it a gift, I instead look at it as an abilitry. Even if I were to refer to it as a gift, I would still charge. Surgeons, musicians, artists and most talented people are said to be given a gift. Do you question them why they charge for their surgeries, music or paintings? I really doubt most would even bring up the subject. Yet I and others with the same types of abilities are constantly asked. We are professionals and take our work seriously.

Doing readings is how I earn my living. While it’s great to work from home, it’s not as great as you may think. I live on the west coast, with many of my clients on the east coast. Since this is a three hour time difference, I may have to get up between 4am and 5am so they can have their reading before they start their day. I also have clients on the other side of the world, different time zones, sometimes different days, and I may have to stay up till 2am or 3am because that’s the time they are usually on the computer and asking for a reading. If I have a lot of readings to do, I may only get 2 to 3 hours off to eat, sleep and hopefully take a shower. Many of my email readings can take as long as an hour or more to perpare.

When I do readings from the http://liveperson.com/ms-yvonne website, I have to pay to use their platform. I’m charged a commission for each and every reading I perform, rather it be live chat or eamil. I have to pay to host my own web site, http://www.readingsbymsyvonne.com/. I have to spend a lot of my time and sometimes my money to promote my business. If I didn’t charge you, I would have to pay to give my readings.

I have bills just like everyone else, so yes, I have to charge for my readings if I want to have a roofe over my head and food on the table. This is my job and just like you, I don’t like working for free.

When you need a reading, whether it be from me or someone else, remember they are trying to make a living just like you, so please don’t expect them to do it for free.
