Selling paid Consultations

Offer scheduled, paid video calls so buyers can book your expertise by the session — not just deliverables.

4 min read

Some of your value isn't a file — it's your advice. Consultations let buyers pay to book a scheduled video call and tap your expertise directly.

With Consultations you sell your time by the session. A buyer books a slot, you meet over video, and you get paid for the conversation — perfect for the strategy and guidance that doesn't fit a standard deliverable.

What consultations are great for

Strategy sessions

Help a buyer plan a project or campaign before any work begins.

Audits & reviews

Walk through their site, brand, or assets live and point out what to fix.

Coaching

Mentor a buyer building a skill, with a focused one-on-one session.

Booking and scheduling

  1. 1

    Set your session

    Define the length, the price, and what the buyer walks away with.

  2. 2

    Buyers book a slot

    A buyer reserves a time directly, and the scheduled video call is locked in for both of you.

  3. 3

    Meet and deliver

    Hop on the call at the agreed time, give your best advice, and wrap with clear next steps.

Pricing your time

Price a consultation for the expertise in the room, not the minutes. A focused 30-minute audit from a specialist can be worth more than hours of generic work. Set a rate that reflects the outcome the buyer gets, and keep sessions tight so your advice stays sharp.

Turn a consult into a bigger order

A consultation is often the start of a relationship. When the call surfaces real work, follow up with a custom offer — or a subscription for ongoing help, or milestones for a large staged project.
