How to generate income while job searching
Short answer: This isn't about becoming a full-time consultant. It's about charging for one-off sessions while you search for your next role. Your network (colleagues, past clients, professional contacts) already values your judgment. With a profile like kreer.app/your-name, you have a place to charge them, with no audience needed and no permanent commitment.
Your professional network is already worth more than you think
When you lose your job or you're between roles, you gain something you didn't have last week: time. And you still have what you already had: years of judgment that colleagues, past clients, and professional contacts have asked you for free, over DM or as a favor, for years.
That's exactly the moment it's most worth charging for that judgment. Not as a career change, but as bridge income while you find your next role.
You don't need an audience: you need a page
Most people assume monetizing experience requires thousands of followers or a content business. It doesn't. What's almost always actually missing is a place where the people who already know you can pay and book without friction.
- Your network already exists: colleagues, past clients, people who've messaged you for advice before
- What's missing is the destination: a URL with your price visible, instead of "here's my account" or coordinating over text
- Payment built in: payment gateway on the same page, no transfers to chase
With kreer.app/your-name, the next time someone from your network asks for help, you have a place to send them: price, calendar, and payment already handled.
How much you can generate while job searching
The real math: on Kreer, Kreer charges a 14% commission plus standard payment processor fees (~2.9% + $0.30). On a $200 session, you receive approximately $166.71. If you do 4 sessions a month with your current network (perfectly compatible with interviews and active processes), that's roughly $666.85 extra, with no commitment and no contract to sign.

While you search, you can also get real help
A career transition moves faster when someone who's already been through it tells you what to do differently: how to negotiate the offer, how to position yourself for an industry change, what to ask in your first interview for a leadership role. That's exactly what a 1-on-1 session with a verified career coach on kreer.app offers: visible pricing, certified results, no back-and-forth over chat. If you're not sure where to start, see how to get real career advice and what to ask in a session with a hiring manager.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get real advice during a career transition?
Book a 1-on-1 session with someone who's already been through a similar transition. On Kreer every expert shows certified results, visible pricing, and open availability.
How much does a career coaching session cost?
Each expert sets their own price, visible on their profile before you book. Typical sessions range from $97 to $500 USD depending on the expert.
Does this interfere with actively job searching?
No. You book according to the availability the expert has set, so it fits around interviews without conflict.

No. One session with the right person can save you weeks of trial and error, no matter how big your network is.
