Do Really Good Psychics Work on the Phone Lines or on Internet Sites?

Can really good psychics be found working on the phone lines or on internet sites?

I've been a psychic all of my life. I was born into it. My mother, her mother, her mother and way on down the line were all psychics. And all of my sisters are too. And my daughter - and her daughter.

I can give you just about any type of reading you care to mention or choose. It all came to me 'naturally', I was born 'with the gift' - I never had to study or learn anything.
For a couple of decades I was a very busy psychic doing readings mostly from my own home or from a central location when I visited other towns.
However I one day found myself needing a change and went back to being a schoolteacher and started doing very few readings. I took about a 5 year break.

When I decided to get back into it I found that things had changed; quite drastically in fact. For many decades psychics the likes of me, my sisters, my mother and only a very small number of other psychic families basically had the 'run of the city'. And we all managed to make a reasonable living using our inherited gifts.

What had happened during my 'break' was that all of a sudden thousands of 'everyday' people had started studying tarot cards and a whole other gamut of psychic and spiritual paraphernalia. And many of them had started doing readings. They often made claims about their lineage too - though from knowing the whereabouts of any psychic families none of us had ever before heard of these people. And because most of them were honing and developing their skill they charged very cheap rates. In effect the explosion of all these 'weekend psychics' 'cheapened' the whole profession and an atmosphere of experimentation filled the psychic airways.

I had meanwhile lost touch with many of my clientele.
I found it remarkably difficult in this new environment to make a decent living so I remained, primarily ensconced in my new occupation. Through being a single mother I only took on short contracts and there were often those in-between times where a supplemental income can be useful.
So I decided to try the psychic phone lines and soon after that I discovered the life of being an internet psychic.

So - do really good psychics work on the phone lines and on the internet psychic sites?
Well - my answer re the phone lines is, "yes - good psychics do work the phone lines - but not for long".

And also many psychics who I would once have not considered to be good work on them too. I reckon if you ring the average psychic phone line you might fluke it and score a really good one but the chances are high that the next time you want a reading they've gone.

You might ask why this is so.
The first reason is that the pay is usually pretty damn lousy.
Why, you might ask, is this so being that these phone services do tend to charge their clients an arm and a leg? And then maybe they might also charge you your solar plexus as well.

Capitalism has taken over. I think it's also called business enterprise.
Being a psychic has become too difficult and expensive for those really good psychics of yesteryear. Now psychics find it hard to make a decent living and instead who now makes a lot of money from innocent clients seeking genuine and good psychics is a large variety of 'middlemen' and 'scam psychics'.

The psychics on the phone lines may be lucky to get around 60 cents a minute when the client is paying $5.95 a min.
The phone service provider usually takes 33%, then the service provider who programs and maintains machinery takes another 33%, then there's the actual psychic business itself along with its admin, advertising and staff costs etc - leaving around 9% left to pay the actual psychics with. And 9% of the fee is not much for the actual psychic who's doing the real work.
And these companies tend to like a good and large range and choice of readers to offer clients so this greatly diminishes your minutes per hour averages. An average might be only 8 minutes an hour. You do the math. And you sit around playing solitaire or FreeCell for most the time.
Many of these phone psychic companies can have high advertising budgets (cos advertising does cost an arm and a leg) and they often tend to have the worst psychics. Good psychics rarely stay. Some unethical companies even provide scripts that non psychics can use.

And the internet sites are not much better where many of the same principles seem to apply. Though internet sites can treat the psychic even worse - as they are more distant in the sense they don't have to actually talk to you regularly except thru the distancing that emails can provide.
I dislike being an internet psychic more than I dislike being a phone psychic. Between my sessional jobs my poverty drives me to the internet as an earning medium sometimes. No pun intended but I do try to avoid the internet psychic sites. And they tend to carve away around half of your earned fees.

People may balk when they see the fees charged by internet psychics. But - many free minutes are spent chatting to regular or potential clients and you are lucky if you can score a couple of decent readings per day.
Why do you think that it is that the same internet psychics pop up at different sites all over the internet? It is because it is actually very difficult to make a decent living being an internet psychic. Only a handful or two succeed.
Several sites say they test their psychics - but it is well known to be bullshit amongst us in the know. And if you punch the word 'psychic' into a search engine it is highly unlikely that you will find one who has been working in the trade for more than 2 decades.

Something else has occurred as a consequence of the proliferation of phone and internet psychics. As these places charge by the minute people no longer tend to book in for what I would consider to be a 'regular reading'.
A regular reading is the type where you sit down with the psychic sharing a cuppa and a biscuit for a decent length of time and discuss many aspects of your life and the inter-relationship between different events occurring in your life is delved into in some depth.

These days clients want to talk to their psychic for only a couple of minutes or so and are often anxious that the psychic fit as much info as possible into the shortest amount of time. This pressured atmosphere is not conducive to good psychic conduct nor for having a decent reading. I'm sure there are many people who these days do not know what a good reading is anymore.
Most clients who visit phone and internet psychics generally don't want to know much at all. Most usually they want to know if their lover loves them, how that lover really feesl about them and when is their lover going to call them next.
Most of the work of an internet psychic tends to revolve around this central theme.
And mostly the truth is that if you are concerned and insecure about such things there is most likely something seriously amiss in your relationship.
Hence much of the work of a phone or internet psychic is centered on providing answers to these alarming and desperate questions. Not really the way I like to make an honest living. Such clients rarely want to hear the truth and helping them to face such truth involves the delicate skills that are most often not of a psychic nature.

If you punch the word 'psychic' into a search engine it is highly unlikely you will find the type of psychic who does non-timed, holistic readings that can provide deep insight into your life and it's direction.
The sites that will come up are ones working on those sites that have and need a high-advertising- budget where scam artists may well exist.
A lot of good psychics have WebPages but it is hard, if not impossible to find them. That is unless you want to wade through the results down to about page 100. This is an unfortunate symptom of the way the internet works. The internet is primarily governed by the principles of big business.

So back to the original question, "Do really good psychics work on the phone lines or on internet sites"?
I reckon the answer is, "Yes, occasionally they do".

    I don't know. I just really need to contact someone with psychic ability to help me out with something my dad is upset about. He had a 62 409 chevrolet air cleaner. He put it in the attic..and now it's suddenly gone! He's very upset about it becuase they usually go for 700.00 bucks! I just really want to help him find out what happened to it so he can be at ease instead of wondering and wondering. But, I do think it's stupid that the fee is 5.99 a minute. Ughh..

    What a great article Jaahda! Many people don't understand that it's a Gift and cannot be taught. So many ordinary, but desperate people who look for guidance in their lives end up with these "weekend-psychics"; paying $$ for nothing. If people want real advice, they should ask you; I did and every single thing came out. Thanks Jaahda:)

    I just googled, "psychics" - 3,600,000 results came up. How many of those are legitimate? Too bad you can't start your own web site with skype capability and handle the fees yourself!
