Professional Consultations

Offer paid one-on-one or group sessions — online or in person — with built-in scheduling and payments.

Whether you’re a career coach, marketing strategist, financial advisor, fitness trainer, or any other professional with expertise to share, Distancer.ai makes it straightforward to offer paid consultations. Set your rates, define your availability, and let clients book and pay through your professional page.

How It Works

1. Create a Consultation Offer Describe your expertise and what clients can expect. Set your hourly rate (or per-session pricing) and define session durations. Distancer AI can help you write compelling descriptions and suggest competitive pricing.

2. Set Your Availability Define available time slots in your calendar. Clients can browse your openings and request bookings for the duration they need — for example, booking 2:00–3:30 PM within a 1:00–4:00 PM availability window.

3. Accept Bookings Clients request sessions and pay upfront based on your rates. You review and approve each booking. The platform sends automated reminders to both parties.

4. Conduct the Session Use the built-in video conferencing tool with screen sharing and chat, compatible with all devices. For in-person consultations, the platform manages the booking and payment — you handle the delivery.

5. Follow Up After the session, the platform processes final payments, handles any time-based billing adjustments, and makes funds available for payout.
