2 min read · Updated October 2026
Short answer: list a call as a product with a duration, a price and a set of times. Fans pick a slot, pay and get a reminder and a private join link. You show up, and if you cannot, the fan is refunded.
Who pays for calls?
- Learners who want feedback: portfolio, resume, code, channel or plan reviews.
- Beginners who want a shortcut: a trip plan, a study plan, a diet check.
- Fans who want time with you.

How to price a call
- Start from the value of the result, not your hourly rate.
- Offer a shorter, cheaper call as an entry point.
- Use group sessions for lower prices and larger reach.
Reduce no-shows and refunds
- Ask a question at booking so you can prepare.
- Use a minimum notice so you are not booked at the last minute.
- Use buffer time between calls.
- Only list times you can attend.
