They stay "connected" with the New Age shops, businesses, bookstores, etc.
Yes, some people really believe. Some of them are the real deal, others are just out to take your money. The real deals have good intentions & can sometimes offer good advice or intuition.
Some people are just looking for a voice of reassurance... which they can offer. Is that so wrong?

Stop and think about what you're asking. It's the same thing as going to church and putting money in the tray. Look how many people do that - millions! So the answer to your question is - there are a lot of gullible and wishful people out there eager to part with their money. That is how they stay in business.
And what a lucrative business it is!

They often use the disclaimer that it is "for entertainment purposes only." For some clients, it's just fun and entertaining, but some people take their work very seriously and their clients do as well. However, people I know that use readings for real only do so for their personal use or for people they know very well. It seems that predictions are more accurate when the reader knows the readee, but it could just be coincidence or the reader can "read' the readee very well and know what to say.

Its called "Cold reading." They look at the person, and how the person responds to vague answers. They then tell the person what they want to hear.
"You've suffered recently...I see you upset over something...who wronged you?"
This type of crap will cause the sucker to remember how the phony KNEW all about how her boyfriend had stolen her car.
Bottom line, some folks are gullible and will be cheated by those without morals...psychics

Bcoz 6 out of 10 persons in this world lack self confidence and courage to face challenges, therefore they are in business

Unfortunately, they do. People of little, or no, faith are always seeking some type of assurance. The Bible is the best, but many refuse to believe, as is evidenced on this page time after time. Merry Christmas.
