Designing your own oracle deck can be a deeply rewarding experience at a creative and personal level; and you can professionally print and self-publish your deck, too, to add a new income stream and share your work with the world
Creating your own oracle deck is a great way to express your creativity and the beauty of self-development and insight into life’s decisions. From tarot cards to angel cards, the use of oracle cards is a popular form of divination and guidance. With a little bit of effort and some creative flair, you can design and self-publish your own oracle deck to sell.
Introduction to oracle cards
Oracle cards are believed to provide psycho-emotional and practical guidance. They can be used for meditation, fortune-telling, and self-exploration. Oracle cards come in many different forms, such as tarot cards, angel cards, wisdom cards, and rune cards. Oracle decks are often used to help the user connect with their intuition, gain insight into their lives, and better understand their inner journey.
The use of oracle cards has been around for centuries. They can be used in different ways, such as card readings, personal meditations, and journaling. Oracle cards have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their ease of use, affordability, and accessibility coupled with a growing interest in finding greater depth and meaning in life.
Benefits of creating your own oracle deck
Creating your own oracle deck can be a rewarding and empowering experience. Not only will you be able to express your creativity, but you’ll also be able to share your own insights and guidance with others. Additionally, you’ll be able to customize your oracle deck to meet your individual beliefs, experiences, and approach, making it easier for your customers to connect with the cards and receive the most accurate readings and inspiration.
Furthermore, creating your own oracle deck can be a great way to make money. If you create a unique and beautiful oracle deck, you can self-publish it and sell it to others. This can generate passive income and help you to spread your message to others or promote your artwork to a wider audience.
Oracle card template and size
Once you’ve decided to create your own oracle deck, you’ll need to decide on a card template and size. There are various card templates available, such as tarot cards, angel cards, oracle cards, and rune cards. You can also choose to create your own unique card template. You’ll need to create the artwork, choose the right kind of paper stock, surface finishes and more. But if there’s any aspect that you’re uncertain about, just get in touch. We’ll be delighted to help you choose the best materials and designs for your needs and your budget.
The size of the cards is also important. The most common card size is 2.75″ x 4.75″. This size is easy to handle and makes the cards easy to shuffle. You can also choose to create smaller cards or larger cards depending on your preference. It’s increasing popular to print circular oracle cards, too.
Designing your oracle cards
Once you’ve chosen the card template and size, you can begin designing your oracle cards. You can use various tools and materials, such as paints, markers, and paper, to create your cards physically and then make high-resolution scans to send for printing. You can also use digital tools, such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, to create your cards.
When designing your cards, you’ll want to make sure that they are aesthetically pleasing and capture the message that you are trying to convey. You can also add your own personal touches, such as symbols, quotes, and logos, to make your cards unique. We can also include a booklet with instructions on how to use the cards, interpretations for different layouts, and the story behind how you created them, for example. Together with your cards, you’ll need to design and print a box to package them in. Ask us for a free template if that would help, and we’ll be happy to create one for you.
Oracle card ideas
When creating your oracle deck, you’ll need to come up with ideas for the cards. You can use various sources of inspiration, such as books, quotes, and artwork, to come up with ideas. Additionally, you can use your own intuition and guidance to come up with ideas. When coming up with ideas for your cards, you’ll want to make sure that your cards are meaningful and helpful for your readers. You’ll also want to make sure that your cards are easy to understand and provide helpful information and inspiration. If you’re not sure where to start, take a good look at a dozen or so of the most popular decks, and the ones which especially appeal to you, and draw inspiration from them.
How to prepare your oracle cards to sell
Once you’ve had your oracle cards and accompanying guidebook and box printed and manufactured, you’ll need to make your cards available for sale. You can choose to self-publish your deck and sell it on your own website, or you can choose to have it professionally printed and sold in stores. When self-publishing your deck, you’ll need to ensure that your cards and guidebook are of high quality. You’ll also need to create a website to promote your deck and make it available for purchase. Additionally, you’ll need to create marketing materials, such as flyers and brochures, to promote your deck. You can also sell your decks at fairs and events, or via online stores such as Amazon, eBay, and Etsy. Additionally, you’ll need to make sure that your pricing is competitive. So, check out other oracle card sellers and create a price point which is within that range.
Tips for promoting your oracle deck
Once your oracle deck is available for sale, you’ll need to promote it and make sure that it reaches its target audience. You can use various marketing strategies, such as social media marketing, email marketing, and content marketing, to promote your deck. Additionally, you can use influencers and affiliates to help spread the word about your deck by contacting them on social media or via their own websites and other channels. You’ll also want to create a great customer experience for your customers. This includes providing excellent customer service, offering discounts, and providing helpful resources. You can use customer feedback to make improvements to your deck and ensure that your customers are satisfied with your products.
