Experty.io - How To Make Money Picking Up The Phone?

You can make money by picking up the phone. And no, I am not referring to you working in the call center. You just need to share your passion and knowledge with people who needs advice from an expert like yourself. 

You could be a successful youtuber, doctor, lawyer, business strategist, marketing maverick or writer. At this moment, there is someone or some startups or some big corporations in the world that needs to ask an expert in your industry how to becoming successful in what you do. Or they could be just asking for a tip or insight into a problem that they are now facing. 

Do you think they would be willing to pay up to $20 per min to talk to an expert such as yourself?

There is already a burgeoning consulting industry which is worth more than $250 bil USD annually and this is set to increase year on year.

Majority of the consulting provided in the current consulting industry is through a more longer term arrangement where a consultant provide advice and helps to formulate strategies with the clients over a period of time. 

However there is a need for short or ad hoc consulting where a client may want to speak over the phone to a consultant over a issue the client or the client’s firm is facing. Such ad hoc phone consultation calls can generate significant revenue for the consultant as well.

At the moment, such ad hoc consultation presents challenges for the consultant to be able to process payments. The consultant can either process invoices and collect payments on his own or he can rely on a third party who acts as an agent or middleman to represent his interest. 

Such middlemen services can take 15-25% of your consulting revenue as fees. 

Experty intends to provide a platform, enabled by a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain, that will process the payment from the client to the consultants for such short or ad hoc phone consultations. 

The Experty platform will allow both voice and video consultation and using their native EXY token, clients can pay consultants immediately after the call via the smart contract. The EXY tokens in the clients wallet would have been locked before the call. This is the magic of smart contracts. 

You can now just pick up a call on the Experty app and know that each min you are talking or sharing your insights, you are generating revenue for yourself. 

By the way, Experty do not take a cent from you if you use EXY tokens as the payment currency. Yes, their platform will be free for you as an consultant unless you want to pay for additional premium services or use other currencies for accepting payment. You do not need to give up 25% of your revenue to a third party anymore.

As a consultant, you can focus on providing advice to your clients. 

“But my clients do not understand cryptocurrencies and will not know how to purchase EXY tokens to use the Experty app to call me.” That is probably the first concern on your mind now, but the Experty team is also working on a fiat gateway that will allow your clients to use Fiat currencies. 

“So where do I advertise my Experty profile?” You do not need to create a profile on the Experty marketplace of Experts for clients to find you. Experty is not a marketplace or classified ads site, it is a platform to enable voice and video consultations and process payments.

You can place your Experty link on your social media profile or business profile in your current networks so that existing clients can click and use the Experty app to call you. This solves the problem of having to redirect your existing client base to another site which may list hundreds of competing consultants. You just want your clients to use the app to call and pay you; just you.
