How much should I charge for my time?
Once you have 3 reviews, you can charge for your time. Over $100/hour requires 10 reviews — see why.
Your rate is completely up to you! Some things to consider when deciding your rate:
- How much your time is worth to you?
- Think about the budget of the person you would like to help (can a bootstrapped founder afford $100 an hour?)
- How much are other mentors charging?
- How much benefit are your sessions bringing to a mentee?
Supply and demand
We encourage you to play around with your rates and availability to find that sweet spot.
If you are busy, limit your availability and raise your price.
In between jobs? Open up your calendar and lower your rate.
Change your rates and adjust them based on your availability and willingness to do sessions.
