What it is

You visit a client's home, shop or office, look at the layout, entrances, furniture and colours, then give practical advice based on feng shui principles. You usually follow up with a short written summary.

Your first three steps

  1. Complete a recognised feng shui course and practise on friends' and family's homes to build a portfolio
  2. Set up a simple consultation package with fixed prices and a sample report, then get an ABN
  3. Connect with local real estate agents, interior stylists and removalists, and offer a discounted first consultation for reviews
Who pays

Home buyers and movers, renovators, small business owners opening a new space, and people who simply want to refresh their surroundings.

How it makes money

A fixed fee per visit or per property size, plus extras such as a written report, a follow-up visit or a pre-purchase property review.
