I look forward to helping you with your many problems….

Media Consultant
So, after decades of doling out free advice to anyone who asks, I’m hanging up a shingle and starting to charge. I have to do this, I don’t have time to answer all the “help me with my project!” e-mails AND have a life AND make a living.
My rates are reasonable, and negotiable. Sliding scale. Info here:

“I want to make six figures a year in podcasting, but I don’t own any audio equipment or software, and I have no idea how to create and/or promote my content. I don’t even know what my content is going to be…”

There’s a few people I”ll answer questions for for free, you’re one of them Shawn. But until I can make six figures a year, I can’t tell anyone how to do it!
Besides, I know you DO have audio equipment and know how to use it. I think you’re just anticipating the kinds of questions I’ll be asked. lol….

I think my advice on that question would be “sell drugs instead. or guns. You’ll have a better chance of making six figures”.

What if the help they need is figuring out how to use the internet/paypal?!

I can’t believe it took you so long to start charging. In my “day job” I get a lot of calls and emails for consulting and when it reached a point that I could not handle I just started ignoring them. You post has me thinking that I should start charging. Thanks for turning some mental gears for me.
