The platform has made every intern a Leadership coach; charging ₹2999/- for each session.
The platform should have at least some decency to verify who is trying to become a mentor.
We are trying to solve this with Pearmock.com
What is your business model? How does a mentor earns?
We have 5 levels. At each level, you unlock some incentives on the platform. 4th level is where the user gets to monetise their profile.
...we are building a product management city! ...with it's own economy! The best game out there for product managers to learn, grow, find opportunities and earn!
Sadly this platform doesn't allow me to post images in comments, else I would have shown you what's cooking.
Would like to know more about why you hate topmate? Can I book a topmate meeting to discuss?

What can be sold, will be sold.
It’s surprising that any person would pay 3k for a mentorship session without even checking the credentials and proof of work.

Y do people go there when there is adplist
You can’t monetise ADPlist!
What are your views in products like topmate, mentorly etc.
See a number of people putting links for 1:1 consultation through topmate where mentor gets paid for thier 'knowledge'.
Has anyone signed up as a mentor or taken anything thro...
Hi folks, I'm doing a product teardown on Topmate.io and wanted to understand some things from someone who is either a creator there or has taken a session there.
Which one matters: Skills or Experience?
Experience, and further the insights comes with multiple 'years of experience' only. On the other hand, 'skills' can be learnt.
Who would you give preference to? I've been naive enough to think...
I see so many LinkedIn Tech influencers selling mentorships on topmate. While this is certainly not wrong. But some are charging 6k for 30 min or so, which is insane. Usually people under 2 years of exp are falling for this. Funny thing ...
So, just to be clear, I have no grudges against the people, but basically I don't like the core idea of doing a paid "guidance or mentorship" session. Examples being career guidance or famous resume reviews on Topmate
