The model
Real work from someone who does it for a living.
What it is
- A few hours a month from people who do this for a living
- The same work they are paid for, at the same standard
- An amount you decide after the session, never before it
- One charity per professional, named before you book
What people mistake it for
- A cheaper way to hire someone
- A lead magnet with a pitch at minute twenty-five
- A gig site with a commission
- A subscription or a retainer
Find someone who already does the thing you need, and check their work before you decide anything.
Every profile links out to work you can open and judge yourself. There are no ratings to take on trust.
Choose an open time, answer one preparation question, and verify your email. The booking is confirmed immediately.
When the hours are gone you can ask to hear when the next ones open. Nobody adds extra slots.
The same work they are paid for, at the same standard, for as long as they said. Where the money goes afterwards changes nothing about the session itself.
No pitch at the end. There is nothing else to sell you.
Afterwards you set the amount. Their profile says what their hour normally costs, the field opens empty, there is no minimum, and you pay their charity on the charity's own page.
Zero is a legitimate answer, and nobody chases it.
The half hour
What a session actually is.
The shape is the same for everyone, so nobody spends the first ten minutes working out how this goes.
- Context
- You describe the problem. They ask the two questions that narrow it.
- The work
- The actual thing: the critique, the plan, the rewrite, the shoot.
- Next
- What to do on Monday, and what to ignore.

Then how do you know the money arrived?
You pay the charity yourself, so the receipt comes from them rather than from us. Nothing counts towards the public total until the charity says it arrived. The money page walks through one session, in order, with the real numbers.

- 01
Proof before trust
Real portfolios, real clients, links you can open. You do not have to take our word for any of it.
- 02
The rate is visible
You see what the hour normally costs before you book, so you have something real to judge against when you decide afterwards.
- 03
Hours are finite
One hour a month is the whole commitment, which is why a busy person can say yes to it at all.
- 04
Nobody is upsold
No retainer at the end and no funnel. The session is the entire product.
If you work at one of these charities
Confirming costs you one click.
There is no integration to build, no account to open, no fee, and nothing of yours for us to hold, because the money never comes through us. You sign in with a link sent to your own address, and click once against a payment to say it arrived. That click is the only thing the public ledger accepts as arrived, and it is also how you have your name taken off if you would rather not be here at all.
The charity sideFor everybody else, the part people check next is usually the money.
