As a consultant, you set your own rates:
- Phone and chat consultations: €0.50 – €5.00 per minute
- Text consultations: €0.50 – €25.00 per message
Choosing the right rate is an important factor in your success on the platform. Your pricing affects how quickly clients start a consultation, how visible you are, and how your profile develops over time.
Start with an Accessible Rate #
If you are new as a consultant, it is advisable to begin with a slightly lower rate. An accessible entry price lowers the threshold for clients to book their first consultation. This helps you gain conversations more quickly, improves your visibility, and increases the chance of attracting returning clients. As your profile grows, you can gradually adjust your rate.
Let Your Rate Grow with Your Experience #
Once you have completed multiple consultations and received positive feedback, it is a good time to gradually increase your rate. Reviews and experience build client trust and make a higher price understandable and acceptable.
Difference Between Phone and Chat Consultations #
Phone consultations often require more direct focus and energy than chat consultations. For this reason, you may consider setting a slightly lower rate for chat. This makes chat more accessible for clients and can encourage them to move on to a phone consultation later.
Pricing for Text Consultations #
For text consultations, you set your own price per message, within a range of €0.50 to €25.00. Because this consultation format is written, you can carefully structure your response and tailor it to the client’s question.
In-Depth Text Consultation #
In an in-depth text consultation, clients submit a detailed question and may include photos or attachments. You provide a personalized and well-considered response within 24 hours.
This type of consultation requires more preparation and depth and is therefore usually priced higher, for example between €10 and €25 per message, depending on your expertise.
Short Question & Answer #
In this format, consultants use text consultations for short, focused questions. This is especially useful when you are not immediately available.
Since the time investment is lower, the rate is typically lower as well, for example between €1 and €7 per message.
Test, Evaluate, and Optimize #
The ideal rate differs for each consultant and audience. Feel free to experiment with your pricing to discover what works best for you. For example, you might offer a temporary introductory rate or run promotions to attract new clients.
Conclusion #
A well-chosen rate helps you attract clients more quickly, remain visible, and build a loyal client base. By starting strategically and allowing your pricing to grow along with your experience, you create a strong foundation for long-term success on the platform.
