Estimates for a small start in Canada, not guarantees.
What it is
Remote consultations where clients send photos, videos and floor plans, then you review them on a video call and send a written summary of suggestions.
Your first three steps
- Write a simple guide that tells clients how to photograph rooms and draw a floor plan, plus a report template
- Set up a booking page with online payment and a short profile or website
- Offer a few discounted first sessions to people in your network and ask for reviews you can share
Who pays
Homeowners, renters and small business owners who prefer a lower-cost or more flexible option, or who live far from a local consultant.
How it makes money
A fixed fee per video session or per floor plan review, plus optional packages such as a room-by-room guide or a follow-up call.
Skills that help
- Training or solid knowledge of feng shui principles
- Comfortable on video calls
- Clear written explanations
- Basic online marketing
Watch out for
- Advice from photos can miss details, so state clearly what your remote review does and does not cover
- Check whether you need professional liability insurance for written advice
- Avoid guaranteeing outcomes such as luck, health or wealth
- Register for GST/HST when you pass the small supplier threshold, and check rules if selling to clients outside Canada
- In Quebec, check French-language rules for your marketing and client documents
