How much should I charge callers?
Your ideal rate depends on your experience, expertise, and the value of your time — there’s no single “right” number. PaidLine gives you full flexibility to set and adjust your per-minute rate anytime, so you can experiment and find your sweet spot.
A good starting point is to work backward from your target hourly rate. For example, if you’d normally charge $300 per hour for your advice, that’s roughly $5 per minute on PaidLine. If you’re newer to your field or building your audience, you might start lower (for instance, $1–$2 per minute) to attract more first-time callers and build trust.
Another creative way to think about it: divide your estimated net worth or lifetime career earnings by the total hours you’ve been alive. This gives you a tangible sense of your real per-hour value — often higher than you realize — and can help guide your pricing confidence.
If you provide niche or high-impact expertise (e.g., legal, medical, financial, or creative consulting), don’t hesitate to charge more — many seasoned professionals successfully price between $5–$20 per minute or more, depending on demand and scarcity – especially for on-demand availability and direct access.
You can update your rate anytime from your Dashboard → Your Rate or your Number Settings → Call Rate, and the new rate takes effect instantly for future calls.
Pro Tip: Start with a rate that you feel comfortable with — that reflects your true value (factoring on-demand availability and direct access). Adjust over time based on demand, feedback, and your evolving expertise.
