One of the more
frequent questions I'm asked about doing handwriting analysis is, "What
got you into this?"
The first emotion
was just pure CURIOSITY about myself and how I can change my life. But
the thing that turned it from a hobby into a passion was the money.
The (shallow) truth is, I started seriously studying the science when
I realized I could earn $100 an hour - or more.
Now, I'm sure there
are lots of other jobs that pay as well. Brain surgeons, for example,
make some pretty good dough. But I eliminated that from my job prospects
long ago. It is very gratifying to be a handwriting expert: the insight
into people, the thrill of successfully entertaining, clients' amazement
at results, and the joy of helping others improve their lives.
But better yet,
I make GREAT money doing it. It's not just me - all of our students
have the same opportunity to earn money - and they are!
If you are a graduate
of Handwriting University, congratulations.
You now have the opportunity
to work for yourself earning a great living doing work that is fascinating
and fun.
If you are considering
taking the certification course, but haven't quite made the commitment,
here are a few good reasons why it is well worth the investment.
There are several
areas in which you can apply your knowledge as a Certified Handwriting
Analyst.
These include:
DOCUMENT
EXAMINING: Examine documents (contracts, checks, etc) to detect forgery.
ENTERTAINMENT: Handwriting
analysis is great as "intellectual entertainment" for parties, special
events, corporate meetings, and trade shows.
EMPLOYEE SCREENING:
Evaluate job applicants, to determine the right fit for the position
- and weed out the whacko!
JURY SELECTION:
More and more, attorneys are utilizing handwriting analysts to pick
the members of a jury.
PERSONALITY EVALUATION:
Useful for single people in choosing compatible partners, and couples
for improving communication.
GRAPHO-THERAPY:
Help people improve their understanding of themselves, change bad habits,
or strengthen positive ones.

================================
In this
edition of Weekly Strokes, the first issue in a 3-part series,
we'll take a look at the ENTERTAINMENT aspects of handwriting analysis.
================================
Sylvia
Tooker was one of the first graduates of Handwriting University, in
1995. She charges $100 an hour to do handwriting analysis at parties,
corporate events, etc. and her clients include Fortune 500 companies
such as Frito-Lay and Sprint.
She began
marketing herself by simply looking through the Yellow Pages, and contacting
event planners. Sending flyers and brochures wasn't effective, so instead
she began contacting them directly: she'd make an appointment, go to
the office, and analyze their handwriting. "It totally amazed them,
and they couldn't wait to throw it into their parties."
Sylvia
is one of our most successful graduates in the circuit of doing live
analysis for entertainment.
Follow-through is also important, in establishing an ongoing relationship
with event planners. "Every year, I touch base, if I haven't heard from
them in awhile. Keeping your name in front of people is necessary, and
giving them ideas they might not have thought of before."
She finds
that the work is seasonal: the Christmas holidays are always a busy
time, and she also sees a jump around prom time, when she's booked for
after-prom parties.
Sylvia
has done handwriting analysis for events ranging from 10 people at a
family gathering, to big corporate events. She also volunteered her
time at charity fund-raisers, which brought her referrals for larger
venues - including a trade show where Sprint was promoting its new teleconference
system.
While
she sat in the main Sprint office in Dallas, customers in the trade
show booth had their handwriting analyzed via teleconference, with 2-way
picture enabling them to see each other. Handwriting Analysis isn't
Sylvia's main career; it "began as a hobby, and then I decided to use
it to make some money." For her, it is "additional income without too
much effort."
She adds
that there is tremendous income potential, "If people really get out
there and market."
