For decades, the standard way to monetize specialized knowledge was through retainers, hourly minimums, or lengthy scope-of-work agreements. But for most everyday questions—whether reviewing an employment contract, discussing a financial strategy, or getting fitness advice—clients don’t need a monthly contract. They need 15 minutes with someone who knows the answers.
Meanwhile, experts find their direct messages flooded with “quick questions” that eat into their day with zero financial compensation.
The Problem With Traditional Billing
- Unpaid Administrative Overhead: Drafting contracts, issuing invoices, and following up on unpaid bills takes more time than the actual advisory conversation.
- High Friction for Clients: A client who needs urgent advice often walks away when faced with a hefty minimum consultation fee or lengthy onboarding.
- Ghosting & Scope Creep: “Just one quick question” on WhatsApp or LinkedIn invariably leads to follow-ups that turn into uncompensated work.

With myt, the equation changes:
- Transparent rates: Your per-minute prices for audio, video, or chat are displayed on your profile before clients connect.
- On-platform billing: Clients recharge Service Credits in the app; sessions debit per minute while connected.
- No invoice chasing: Clients pay through the wallet — you focus on live guidance, not payment follow-ups.
By turning your social media links into direct, paid consultation channels, you can monetize your existing audience without the friction of invoicing.
