I had rented a space at an art festival that made a business of selling art, and while people upstairs were bidding on the artwork entered, people downstairs had booths selling their hand made crafts. I was doing caricatures for $10.00 each. I'm not as fast as most caricature artists and it is sometimes grueling work. At the end of the weekend, on the last day people were packing up stuff to leave and I took out my tarot cards and set up a sign for readings, $1.00 per card, three card readings.
My customers were young teens. The readings were fast. They kept coming back, bringing their friends, asking new questions. They loved it, they had a ball, they had money to spend.
In thirty minutes I made $60.00. It had been taking me an hour to make $30.00 doing the caricatures because I could not draw them fast enough. I decided to either change over to doing readings or start charging more for my caricatures. But I like doing the readings much better. It is easy and so much fun.
