The Idea:
Tell people's fortunes for fun and profit.
How it Works:
Palm reading doesn't require a lot of money to get started, simply a little time to learn the basics of interpreting the lines and squiggles of a person's hand, a bit of theatrical ability and the belief in spiritual or paranormal abilities. You can set up a booth at a fair, in the local market or even a room in your own home to dedicate to your business. Some professional palm readers visit their client's homes, while others promote themselves as a fun party activity, especially during Halloween season.
How Much Can You Make:
Palm reading isn't an extremely high-income gig, but it can definitely be a path to some extra spending cash. Depending on your reputation and location, you can charge $5 to $100 per reading.
