Online feng shui consultations from home

People who live far from a consultant, renters and apartment dwellers wanting simple fixes, and small online or home-based business owners.

A fixed fee per consultation or floor plan review, with optional add-ons such as a written report, a follow-up call or a room-by-room checklist.

• Solid training in a feng shui tradition
• Clear writing and video call confidence
• Reading floor plans and photos

• Professional indemnity and public liability insurance, check what an insurer covers for remote advice
• Avoid guaranteed outcomes or health claims, check Australian Consumer Law rules on misleading claims
• Advice from photos and plans is less thorough than a visit, so be clear about what you can and can't assess
• Check whether you need an ABN and GST registration as turnover grows

Startup costs are typically around $200 to $1,000, depending on your training, software and insurance choices. Because you work by video call and floor plan review, you don't need premises, which keeps the estimate low.

Monthly revenue is typically around $400 to $2,000, depending on how many clients you book and what you charge. The estimate starts from about 5 hours a week, so your results will depend on the time you put in.

Check what professional indemnity and public liability insurance covers for remote advice. Avoid guaranteed outcomes or health claims, and check Australian Consumer Law rules on misleading claims. Also check whether you need an ABN and GST registration as turnover grows.
