How to Make Dollars for Your Sense Through a Consulting Business

***Read More Wisdom Here***

As always, thanks for watching! Consulting is providing advice in a particular area of expertise. While it is okay to give some information for FREE, remember that information that leads to a PROFIT is considered Consulting. Do not be afraid to put a value on YOUR worth! Refuse to subscribe to the prescription that the world is broke. People pay for what they value.

I received the following question today and thought I would share. (Some details changed to conceal writer's identity.)

Q:I have received a few emails asking me if I would critique papers. It just dawned on me that this creates a "consultant" type of relationship.I am willing, however, I feel I should be compensated somehow for my time if I am receiving all of these inquiries.How should I go about asking for this?

My response:
I would set a baseline price and charge money:) Create a one page site using weebly or wix. You can charge per hour it takes to review or per 30 minutes. I believe that you should charge (at a minimum) per hour what your employer pays you. Personally, I charge for all advice that leads to profit.

Please leave your questions/comments below. Thank you!

Great Advise! Unfortunately. I'm the web designer and I look forward to people needing me for those websites :-( I'm a consultant as well and I'm a black natural too! :-)

[SPARKWISDOM]

@MsParadiseWaters LOL! Well you and I know that weebly and wix are for the beginners'. Once the money flows, we want YOU! Your expertise I"m certain is merited!

Excellent video! I totally agree with you about being compensated for your advice and skills.

[SPARKWISDOM]

@thecreativelady That's because YOU are the "creative lady." *smiling*

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been struggling with knowing that I should be getting paid for my services but not actually getting paid. My issue is different and a little sensitive because I train praise dancers, mimes and Dance at events and never ask I have got to figure a way to present this as a consultation. recieved the Spark now I have to use wisdom to do this properly.

[SPARKWISDOM]

@Joyfullexpressions Send me an email :) I don't see why this would be any different than the musicians, the security, those that are the videographers, etc. getting paid. You are providing a service that is as unto the Lord:)

Def. agree but I think it's best not to go overboard meaning everything that comes out of your mouth has a price tag. Giving is still the best return on your value. I have a business and starting out I obtained a lot of info from kind people who wanted to help someone else succeed. I do the same. It's key to find a balance between earning money and true treasures.

Really a great video! I am a Relocation Home Locator. If I have my own listing I do show my own properties. But if they don't like it, some ask me if I can show them other houses. When I have said I can but first I need to pull your credit, verify employment, etc so that I know which properties will work for you and there is an application/processing fee of $65. most say NO way will ! pay you when I can get another agent to do it for free. One I said you can pay me later. Then refused to pay me.

Hi! I have definitely been caught up providing free services to family members for years. I struggled to stop providing one type of service and ended up providing a different type of service, which I'm not struggling to stop providing. If I ever decide to provided these services for non family members, I'll certainly charge money, so thanx for the encouragement!

Hey Tina! Welcome back... I was watching one of your videos and I see you have moved to GA. How are you liking it? Are the kids adjusting well?? Btw, another great video! I have also been attempting to do Consulting and I too beleive it is difficult to begin asking others to pay for advice/help you have been giving for free.
