Schedule 2 separate calls.
The person books a call using the promotion link (or just set your hourly rate to 0), then, change the rate, and have them book another call for a time which is directly after the first one.
Alternatively, let them book a paid 30 min call (at half your usual rate) and then talk for 60 minutes - so they’ll only be paying for 30min I’m actual fact.
Good luck

For a small business (about 12 physical products), how much should I charge for implementing an online selling platform?
Hi there, I wish I could give you an exact amount — or even a decent range. But, in reality, the answer is it depends. There are a number of factors I would use to quote this. Some of those factors include: - How much content, and what kind, is being created? - How much time are you expected to put into strategy, planning, and vision casting? - How well do you know the company culture that you are managing for? Will you be responsible for sourcing the answer to questions? What does that process look like? - Are you expected to manage the ecommerce store on an ongoing basis? Maintenance? - Are you coding this from scratch? Building out a Shopify or Woocommerce solution? - Are you training them on how to use the product? - Are you responsible for project management? Copywriting? Product photography? As you can see, there are many factors to building out an ecommerce solution. Your original question, how much to charge, is dependant on how you answer these questions, your skill set, and how you value your time. If you’d like more information, or would like to create a marketing strategy, I am happy to help. Just reach out and shoot me a note. All the best,SN

What tools must I have in order to create, market, and sell an online course?
I've set up a number of online courses, and also supported other business owners in their online course creation and hosting. This is a huge topic with a number of variables. You may decide to host your course on your own Wordpress platform, in which case you'll need: - a website (if you don't already have one) - a member plugin - e-commerce plugin or means to accept payment There are lots of options within each of these, so a lot of decision-making to do! What's often considered simpler and easier is to use an online training platform. Again, there is a huge range of options and the choice will partly depend on your budget and the features you're after. There are a number of online articles that compare and contrast the features, but I've found the reviewer usually recommends the product they're affiliated with - or the one that suits them best. That doesn't mean their preference is best for you, it depends on your needs and resources. One product that seems very popular at the moment is Teachable. Prices range from a free plan to $39-$299 a month depending on the volume and features. Teachable has a stunning builder, a huge range of features and powerful marketing and analytics. It also integrates with MailChimp, Ontraport and a range of others. You'll need either a Stripe or a Paypal account to accept payments. If you want to give me a call I'd be happy to discuss your specific requirements further so you can have a clearer idea of the best course of action for you. I hope that helps. :-)CS

How can I start an online business?
It depends on what type of online business you want to run. For selling online (physical or digital products), you need to figure out your audience first, and then find or create products, that will sell. Also consider how you will get paid - living in Egypt may put restrictions on money transfers (for example - does PayPal operate in Egypt). You can also do freelance work online. Bottom line - starting an online business is easy. Getting clients and getting paid is more complicated. Good luckLB
