Two viewers want to pay me for my time and I don't know what to say
I put out six short videos on how a small service business around real estate actually gets its first ten clients. Nothing fancy, phone camera, maybe 300 views total. Two people emailed asking if they can pay me for an hour to go through their own situation.
I have no price, no idea what an hour should even contain, and no idea what I'm allowed to promise. My gut says $100 because that feels like a number nobody argues with. My worry is I sit down for an hour, ramble, and they leave with nothing, which would be worse than saying no.
How do people structure a first paid hour so it's actually worth the money? And do you take payment before or after?
