Tarot for the 21st Century!
Once you have been endorsed, you are welcome to join our Tarot Guild Endorsed Readers Keen Group. We have teamed up with Keen to give our Endorsed Readers (ERs) additional opportunities to serve clients and make money.
Each ER gets their own Group & Forum and can promote their services and products there. Readings are booked on a per session basis and delivered either through email, chat, Skype, phone or in person.
Through our Keen group, ERs can also promote their readings on a per minute basis and clients can get readings immediately without having to book in advance.
Where as readings booked through your group/forum are paid directly to your PayPal often immediately or within 24 hours, payments for readings through our Keen group are paid to the ERs directly through Keen.
You must join Keen first as an Advisor. It is a fairly easy process and requires no "testing" to sign up. In fact, members of our group on Keen are the only Advisors on Keen that actually go through a process (the Guild's ERP) before they can join our group.
Visit here to sign up: www.keen.com/give/advice.asp ...Click on the orange "Get Started Now" button. Follow the instructions to sign up and create a "listing" on Keen. Your listing must first be "approved" by Keen.
They aren't "testing" you but rather looking for violations of their terms of service, spam, profanity, etc. They state it usually takes two business days to get "approved". I have seen it take as little as a day, but I have also seen it take as long as a week.
As soon as your listing is approved, you can request to join the Guild's ER Keen Group. Simply go to our Keen group on this page: www.Readings.TarotGuild.com and click on the "Join This Group" link ....or click on this link: www.keen.com/groups/join.asp?gid=13668
That's all there is to it! You set your pricing, work schedule, etc.
Keen also give you additional opportunities to get promoted and make money. In addition to appearing on our group here on the TG website, you will be listed on Keen as well. When you are signed in to take calls, you will be listed on their site, but probably find yourself on page ten or so on there. That's the reason for our group!
As a member of the Guild's Keen Group, you will be at the top of the list, page one when you are signed in to take calls or arrange calls (It automatically bumps your up on the list). We then promote the Keen group through our radio shows, the website, social media and cross promote (see our new cross promotion group post here in the Forum), etc... Obviously, it's a smart idea to sign in to take calls while our radio shows are live on air!
It's well worth looking through Keen's website. All the information is provided, explaining how their system works. There is additional information on building your business and other opportunities to get promoted and to make money. For instance, they have a $50 referral program, affiliate program and more.
As a Guild ER and one of our Advisors, it's well worth joining the Keen group. This is because, in all our promotions, we send clients to the Guild's reading page, which has the Keen group on it. If a client wants a reading right now, they may go with one of our Advisors that is there on the Keen group - but there is a link to the list of Endorsed Readers and their pages also on the readings page.
Depending on the pricing you set, you will potentially make more money, per reading, from booked readings here on the TG site than Keen. That's because our readers get 80% of the revenues. On Keen, they get a percentage, plus there is a connection fee and the Guild gets 10%.
The Guild gets 10% however only from readings with any new clients you acquire through the group, and only for six months. After that, you will get the Guild's 10% as well. Any clients you acquire directly from Keen or your listing, links, etc won't be part of the Guild's Keen group revenues. I believe currently Keen's percentage is 30%.
Remember, all our ERs/Advisors are independent business persons. Just signing in to receive calls doesn't guarantee the phone will ring. You have to build your business, promote yourself and the Guild's Keen group both online and off. This is the reason for our ER Master Mind and Social Media Cross-Promotion groups.
Together we can share ideas, resources, plan strategically as well as cross-promote each other - more on this in the posts here on this Forum about promoting, the Master Mind group, cross-promotion group, etc. Plus be sure to attend our classes for professionals and "tune in" to Clicks N Mortar Radio each Wednesday with Deb Frueh & myself or listen to the shows on demand int he archive or through iTunes....
