Are you an expert?

Hi, I am launching a sophisticated phonesite generator that allows professionals to charge for telephone consultations on a per-minute basis.

Are their any experts here that would be interested in offering such a service?

What sort of professionals do you need? Why would they ring your service and not just go on the internet and look it up for themselves?

Anyone that can add-value to a telephone call. They would not ring our service, rather they would use our (free) platform to create their own pay-per-minute 'hotline'.

Well I am not keen on the label expert but I am interested.

So what do you make out of it? Where are you going to advertise this service? And why wouldnt the person just go online and find the information?

Or are we talking about a different pay-per-minute phonecall?

I see you are a legal expert Bill

Last year, I needed the services of a family lawyer. I ended up going to one, but I remember thinking at the time that I would have happily paid per minute for a instant consultation if such a service existed.

From what I understand, selling legal expertise this way is ok as a 'legal expert' but not as a solicitor, can you confirm?

 

[Bill Ryan]

I can't help you with that question as i am not a solicitor. I am currently a non-practicing barrister.

 

Not sure what sort of rates you were thinking of.

But in the world of SEO experts this may be a guide:

Hi Gemma,

Callers do not dial a premium rate number. Rather, they prepay minutes using their credit or debit card. Of this, 70% is paid to the expert, who pays nothing.

Sure, people can always go online to find information, but the telephone still delivers a more intimate and direct form of communication, away from all that internet clutter imo

Each phonesite that is created will be added to a consumer facing portal, and a dynamic call button can be added to any site.

Busy people that are in demand can then pre-announce on their sites and via social media that they are available for a phone consultation at a time in the future so that their phone rings when the time arrives.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for that Earl, interesting. In order for Jill to make the same kind of money with MPS, she would need to charge around $14/Min.
