Guidelines on how much and where to set your hourly rate for OnFrontiers consultations
A typical OnFrontiers consultation is completed virtually through our platform or over the phone and it usually lasts from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
The experts may also receive a request to deliver the response in writing, for which they will have agreed to level of effort and compensation with the client before coming to the assignment.
OnFrontiers will not compensate Experts for: (a) time spent by Expert on a Consultation outside the OnFrontiers Platform; or (b) any preparatory work Expert may choose to perform for a Consultation, unless otherwise expressly agreed between Expert and OnFrontiers in writing.
Experts will get paid for the time spent on the consultation as set on their hourly rate: https://onfrontiers.com/settings/rate
Average hourly rates tend to be at $100, $160, $250 / hour, depending on years of industry experience and seniority. Your hourly rate affects how many requests you get. But at the end of the day, you get to set whatever you feel is fair compensation for your time.
An example for calculating payout: if you set up your hourly rate as $150/hr, and the consultation lasted for 40 minutes, you will get paid for (40/60)*$150=$100.
Important: note that if you are consulting on behalf of your company, as part of a partnership between your company and OnFrontiers, OnFrontiers will not be responsible for your payment. Please check with your company for the compensation rules applied.
