Would it make you call a psychic line?

The spiritual and psychic world can be extremely confusing, there are countless online psychic lines popping up with people claiming they have a plethora of psychic abilities. A lot of the psychic lines are owned by large corporations that also run dating sites and advertise for psychics to work on their psychic reading lines.

When they hire staff to work on their psychic lines their main criteria is getting the unsuspecting callers on the line. Some of these psychic organisations have staff screening psychics without having first hand knowledge of what it means to be psychic. How then are they equipped to hire a psychic? These psychic sites market their psychic lines by offering free 3 minute readings and mass produce psychic advertising in nearly every published magazine in your country.

Do an experiment and check your weekly magazine and see if there are 4 or 6 advertisements that have the same provider on the ads. You will find their details in small print on the bottom of the advertisement. This is an example of a mass produced psychic line advertisement.

Another way these large organisations might advertise is to create psychic personas for the psychic lines you are calling. For example: Gypsy Psychic, or Archangel Michael. They will place a photo of a woman in a headscarf professing to be psychic - when in fact you are calling psychics that have been hired by multinational organisations.

They might also have photographs of a diverse range of demographics. There will be a photo of a couple walking hand in hand to attract relationship readings, an older woman to show she has lived life and knows everything you might want to share with her, she would be the one you would call if you’re having family issues. These marketing organisations will attempt to create advertisement scenes that make you think the psychic you are calling will know how to handle your situation.

Advertising is not cheap; some of these organisations will be outlaying thousands of dollars a week in magazine and internet advertising to get higher psychic exposure.

The true psychics and mediums are not able to compete with this type of advertising and when callers call these mass produced psychic lines and find the psychic reading to be nothing more then a counseling session, or a chat room they leave with the impression that all psychic, clairvoyant readings are the same. Spiritually it taints genuine, real psychics and mediums.

When you call a psychic line you want to know the person on the other line is all they claim to be. This is why it is important to be discerning and to source information from the organisations website and to identify if they also have mass produced advertising in your weekly, monthly magazines.

Also follow my psychic guidelines on finding the right psychic. I recommend that you go through a checklist to see if the psychic reader meets your criteria. Rule of thumb: never provide personal information to a customer service staff member. If they say they need to know who is the best psychic to help you and that’s the reason why they’re asking this information – hang up the phone. A real psychic begins the call by tuning in and giving you information about your circumstances and the psychic reading progresses from there. A customer service adviser will screen your reasons for calling and pass on this information to the psychic who will contact you. There are a lot of genuine, accurate psychics operating in Australia, the United Kingdom and the USA, you just need to wade your way through all the mass produced psychic lines to find the right psychic for you.
