FAQ
Questions, answered straight
Lead with quality. Charity is the differentiator. No startup theater.
What is Worthly?
A curated collective of in-demand professionals who give a bounded amount of premium-quality time. You get the same work they charge for. After the session, you pay what's fair. 100% goes to their chosen charity.
Is this discounted freelance work?
No. Quality stays the same. The difference is purpose: they are giving finite hours because they want to, not because they need the booking. Charity is the destination for payment, not a discount sticker.
How does booking work right now?
Browse people at /people, open a profile, and request a session on the calendar. Pick a date with open slots, choose a time, leave your details. Slots are limited because each person only commits a fixed number of hours per campaign. Live slot locking comes next.
How much should I pay?
You decide after the session. Use their normal rate as an anchor. Some people pay less, many pay more than a token amount when the work was excellent. Pay what the session was worth to you.
Where does the money go?
100% to the professional's chosen charity. Worthly is not taking a cut of session contributions in this model. You'll get a receipt when payment opens; until then the path stays public and honest.
Who can join as a professional?
Invite and nomination only. Nominate someone at /nominate, or apply at /apply if you already have proof of work and demand for your time. Not an open marketplace signup.
Why do profiles stay visible when full?
Sold-out profiles prove demand. You can join a waitlist for the next opening in the campaign.
How should I share Worthly?
After you book, use the LinkedIn share on the confirmation page. Campaign posts should link to /impact. Nominations go to /nominate. Visible sessions fill the next campaign.
What if the session wasn't useful?
Pay-what-you-want means the risk sits mostly with us. If you got little value, pay little. Session reviews will land with payments so quality stays visible over time.
