Monetising Mentorship 1:1

I’m divided on this , Mentorship should be free but yeah mentor’s time is precious too. So maybe don’t charge too much . I haven’t tried these platforms though but yes mentorship can be helpful if mentor-mentee relationship is compatible .

Paid mentorship is non sense. It like hiring a prostitute to experience married life. Mentorship works best when there is mutual benefit. You help your potential "mentor" first. That "mentor" is happy with you and rewards you with his "mentoring", in turn you help in more. Its best when there is a quid pro quo. A good example is visiting a doctor, if you do not know him and you consulting is thru the "fees" paid. He will treat he symptoms and that's it. Whereas if you are a friend for him, where you can meet him/her at any time/ any place , and The doctor talks to you without expecting fees from you, that treatment will be different. The doctor will look beyond your symptoms, he will really think on figuring out what is ailing you.

These mentors in Topmate as the mentioning equivalent of Fin- influencers. Rembemer that Guy who come when you are watching youtube? he will each you how to make 1cr a year, help you buy your Ferrari? Its him equivalent.

From topmate? No!

Have I paid for community that gives really good insights? Yes! A lot of money!

Bad idea. The essential idea behind mentorship is to give back and people who are primarily in it for making money end up harming the ecosystem as they try to become much more visible. How do Ankur Warikko and Dev Gadhvi appear on YouTube ?

There are multiple problems with stuff like this. There's no market rate or standard, people don't know if what they're going for is even worth it.

Seemed like a decent idea initially but I don't see it working out much long term. Plus people will just approach the person directly and ask to pay instead of going through platform if they even need regular bookings.

Nobody will work for you at this rate unless untill you have substandard life coaches and expectation is bare minimum. In era of Google search and chat gpt generic coaching won't work

500-1000 won't make it scalable. Need a minimum of 5000 bucks to make it work. It has to be luxury product or service.
