You can build your own Ask & Pay shop where people can ask you questions at price you set and you can answer them via text/voice/video of your choice
How does ‘selling expertise’ work?
: Sellers can get paid by providing low-effort simple text answers or providing deeper consultations via voice/video call. How it works is that you share your 20min profile link on your social media such as Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube, TikTok, Blogs, or just any relevant online communities where your potential customers might be just as you would share any other link-in-bio on your SNS or online communities.
How does earning happen?

Both payment and payout work on Stripe. You keep 92% of your earnings. We only take 8%. No setup fee, no credit card required. Totally free to start.

Congratulations on the launch! Just 2 cents on the onboarding process from my end:
Asking the user to add "product description"
- Not sure if the term is intuitive enough. When I first read it, I thought to myself, "I'm not selling any product here? What should I put here?" -> Maybe something along the lines of "in which areas can you help your clients?" "What is your expertise?" "How have you helped your clients in the past?"
- For now, it's plain text input made by the user. Really have no idea where to start -> Adding a template or how others wrote it would help tremendously.
@joshjslee Thank you for your suggestions on product desc. and example writings Joshua! Will think hard to improve on those. I highly appreciate your feedback :)

Isn't this just another way for influencers to cash in? Maybe it works for them, but I'm skeptical if regular folks will find much value, feels a bit gimmicky tbh
Our next milestone is to open a marketplace where customers who want advice can discover experts easily on our platform. To reach that, we need to collect a critical mass number of sellers per each category. So as of now in our MVP, you have a point that it may not be easy for people without audience base to attract customers. But we hope to get to the marketplace phase soon so that a field of consultation can be more casual, cheaper and diverse, just as AirBnB made staying experience more casual, cheaper, and diverse by letting in normal people into what was once license-only market before :)
This is a really interesting approach to inbound sales. With just a small amount of information & AI, you could answer any questions customers have at scale. In my experience, a personalized response dramatically increases sales. PS: we also launch on product hunt today, check us out (Lancey).
Hey @peu_a_peu this is a game changer because of its simplicity and easy setup. Instead of worrying about setting up a landing page with different CTA's on your own, you can just integrate it in 20 minutes. Absolutely love the concept 👏🏻👏🏻
Congrats on the launch 🚀
@crebuh Thank you for your comment Christofer! Hope we really become the changer of the game hehe. Would like to hear from you how the product experience was too :)
Hey Yoon,
This is an interesting concept for monetizing expertise.How do you ensure quality and prevent potential scams or misleading advice?
Have you considered adding any kind of rating/review system for users to provide feedback on their experiences?
Congrats on the launch!
