How payment works
You set your rate. You keep the majority. Payouts go straight to your bank.
You set your price
Charge whatever reflects your expertise — no minimums or maximums. You can also create custom tiers (e.g. Quick Answer vs. Deep Dive) so users self-select and you price accordingly.
Fast payouts via Stripe
Users pay at checkout. Once a session is complete, your earnings are paid out directly to your connected bank account. No invoicing, no chasing.
Small platform fee
MinuteMentor takes 15% of each session (minimum $5) to cover payment processing, platform costs, and support. You keep everything else.
