The Sign Show Blog Business Model

I am looking for feedback on the following astrology business idea.

If you are astrologer that wants to get involved in following opportunity, please contact me at signshow@gmail.com.

Sign Show Gifts (new) –

A personal horoscope would be a great gift for almost any major life event (birthday, wedding, new baby, graduation)!

I believe the majority of women in the United States have an interest in astrology! While, I don’t have formal statistics, I do know that astrology websites do over 500,000,000 pageviews per month! If there is one person behind reading every 10 pages of content – that is 50 million people interested in astrology. However, only a very, very small portion of those interested – my guess is far less than 1%- get readings by astrologers.

The natural question is why?

1) Cost

With an individual astrology session being priced between $60 to $250, I am sure that sticker shock prevents many people from the first visit.

2) Trust

Do I really want to trust someone that I don’t know with my most personal thoughts? How do I know the person is a quality astrologer? In-person or over the phone readings may seem to intimate at first.

3) Packaging

In gift giving, packaging is important. If the packaging is not nice, no matter how nice the gift – most peoples will not buy the gift for a friend. Right now, astrology readings are not packaged in a way that makes them presentable for gifts.

To overcome these obstacles, I am launching “Sign Show Gifts”

What is a “Sign Show Gift”? Its an eight minute personalized video horoscope. The client can provide information about the receiver – date of birthday, names of family members/pets, interests. This information can be woven into the reading.

What is the cost? The cost is $36 for a video or $100 for a video and follow-up phone session with the astrologer. The astrologer receives 1/3 of the price. However, the receiver and the giver will be provided with the astrologer’s contact information. The astrologer does not have to pay any referral fees for any subsequent business. For the astrologer, the reason to do video horoscopes is a source of highly qualified exposure.

What is involved for the astrologer? For astrologers in NY area, you just need to prepare for the reading and go on camera. We will tape it, edit and handle all of the logistics. If you are outside of New York, you may have tape the videos on your own.

Barbara Goldsmith – 2009 Horoscope Review By Amber Gooding

Amber Gooding

Sign Show would like to thank Amber Gooding for writing the following review. Amber is the creator of the Facebook Group “Proud To Be A Scorpio”.

Video Review: Barbara Goldsmith

Barbara was very knowledgable about predictions, and she explained everything very well. The sound quality wasn’t so good, but I kept watching because I was drawn to her words and her confidence. It was slightly distracting that there was so much space above her head in the video, but at least the background looks nice and comfortable.

I also thought it was wonderful how energetic she was about Scorpio predictions. It made me smile. She touched so many areas of 2009 that I feel confident in her words, and wouldn’t mind watching her forecasts again.

KT The Astrologer – Horoscopes Review

Video Horoscopes Review By Stacy Miccaela Bent: KT The Astrologer

KT the Astrologer has a lovely Australian accent that just brightens the day. I enjoyed this video channel because she is not like any other astrologer; her horoscope is currently annual instead of monthly or weekly. I would recommend this video channel because she gives wonderful insight on relationships and shes on the money for 2009. The background is intriging, which kept your eyes focused on what she is discussing about astrology.

2009 Video Horoscope Review Of Terence Guardino

Amber Gooding

This video was pretty good. I liked how Terence focused a little on the backround of Scorpios. This backround knowledge helped me understand a little more about how I will be reacting this year, and what I should expect. His knowledge of planets changing in the zodiac is amazing, and his calm collected tone wasn’t boring, but comforting in the sense that he knew much about Scorpio’s and that we are not all the same.

I also enjoyed that he brought current issues to attention and predicted improvements in those areas, giving hope. It was also great that he touched on other signs and how they were effecting Scopios and the outcome of those situations. The end of the video stopped quite abbruptly, but I liked that he didn’t give much information about himself, therefore if I was interested in him, I wouldn’t mind doing some research.

He spoke well and was very knowledgable about Scorpio’s and the planet’s alignment, but he seemed to get a little antsy at the end. Overall a wonderful video.

Gemini 2009 Video Horoscope by David Cammegh

2009 Gemini “Stars & Cards” Horoscope Video (David Cammegh)

David Cammegh has great energy. He combines astrology with a card reading. I know enough about tarot cards to tell you that he is is not using a traditional deck.

If you love accents, which I do, you will enjoy David’s deep voice and wonderful accent.
