Office hours
The questions you answer for free, answered once a week, for a fee.
You already give advice in DMs, over coffee and after talks. Gather the people who ask into a Community Hub with a price to join, hold one group call a week in its channel, and offer a paid one-to-one to whoever needs more. Every payment goes to your own Stripe.
For coaches, consultants and fractional leaders
Step 1 · Open the door, with a price
One Community Hub for the people who keep asking.
Open a Community Hub with a general channel and a Q&A channel, write a short page on how it works, and set a price to join. Maya charges $30 for her New Leaders Circle. The people who asked her for “a quick call” now have a place to ask, and a reason to.

One payment today; monthly dues are coming
Paid to your own Stripe, 0% to SoloBase
Step 2 · Hold the hour in the channel
Thursday at four, where the questions already are.
Members post their questions in the channel during the week. On Thursday someone from your team says the call is open, and members join from the conversation with one tap. The questions are on the screen beside the call, so nobody has to repeat them.
Group calls in a channel, up to 25 people
Screen sharing; calls are not recorded
Counted in participant-hours by plan
Step 3 · Keep the answer
Answer once. The next member finds it.
After the call, turn the best answer into a note or an accepted answer in the Q&A channel. Next month, a new member reads it before asking. Your hour keeps working after it ends.
Accepted answers stay found
Notes beside the channels
Your Community Hub’s Home shows money in and who joined
Step 4 · Offer more to who needs it
A paid one-to-one, then the real project.
Some members need more than a group hour. List a one-to-one session with its price in your Store Hub; they book a time you are open and pay before it. If the session shows real work to do, it becomes a Client Hub with a proposal and a deposit.

Forty-eight people asked Maya for a quick call.Now they meet her on Thursdays, and three became clients.
The New Leaders Circle: $30 to join, a weekly call, a $350 review for whoever needs more. Illustrative figures: Maya and her members are not customers.
Asked about office hours.
What should I charge?
Less than one hour of your one-to-one rate, so joining feels easy, and enough that people come with real questions. Start with a price you can say without flinching, and adjust after the first month.
Can members pay monthly?
Not yet. A price to join is one payment today. Monthly dues are being built and will be labelled when they are live.
Are the calls recorded?
No. Keep what matters as a note or an accepted answer after the call, where every member can read it.
How much call time do I get?
Calls are counted in participant-hours: a one-hour call with ten people is ten. Free includes 10 once, Pro 72 a month, Studio 197 a month.
Also on one Studio
Run more than one of these.
