Man in a video conference

If you have experience in a specific area such as business, technology, design, marketing, finance, health, education, or any other field, there is a very high chance that someone is willing to pay for your knowledge.

The challenge is not whether you can do it, but how to sell online consulting in a clear, trustworthy way without complicated processes. In this guide, we explain how to monetize your knowledge, create online consulting services, and turn your experience into paid mentoring.

1. Identify which part of your knowledge has immediate value

One of the most common mistakes is thinking that you need to know “everything.” In reality, people pay to:

  • Solve a specific problem
  • Avoid costly mistakes
  • Save time
  • Make better decisions

Ask yourself:

  • What questions do people ask you frequently?
  • Which topics do you help others with easily?
  • What problem do you solve better than most people?

This is your first opportunity to offer online consulting.

2. Define your consulting offer (without overcomplicating it)

You don’t need a complex program to get started. A good initial offer is simple and clear.

Examples:

  • One-on-one strategic consulting
  • Review and feedback session
  • Targeted mentoring for decision-making
  • Consulting to solve a specific question

When you clearly explain what you help solve, it becomes much easier to monetize your knowledge.

3. Choose how to charge for your time and expertise

One of the biggest benefits of online consulting is flexibility. Today, you can offer:

  • Pay per message, ideal for quick questions
  • Pay per minute, perfect for short consultations
  • Pay per session, recommended for in-depth consulting or paid mentoring

Platforms like WhizPro allow you to choose the model that best fits your way of working and your type of client, without friction or complex technical processes.

4. Create a profile that clearly explains your value

Your profile is your main sales tool. To sell online consulting, make sure it includes:

  • What you do and what you are an expert in
  • Who you help
  • What types of problems you solve
  • How your consulting works

Avoid generic descriptions. The clearer you are, the easier it will be for someone to trust you.

5. Start with clear and realistic pricing

You don’t need to start charging high prices. What matters is:

  • Setting a fair price for you and the market
  • Adjusting based on demand and reviews
  • Testing different formats (message, minute, or session)

As you gain experience and reputation, you will be able to scale your rates naturally.

6. Build trust from the first consultation

Trust is key for turning online consultations into recurring paid mentoring.

To achieve this:

  • Listen actively
  • Ask clear questions
  • Provide actionable recommendations
  • End each session with next steps

A great experience generates positive reviews and new clients with no extra effort.
