Running a Micro-Consulting Business on Autopilot
Jul 17, 2025 11:31 am
Hey !
Micro-consulting—offering short, focused advice for a fixed fee—is an underrated revenue stream. It's efficient, scalable, and perfect for those who don't want to commit to long-term projects.
The key is productizing your expertise into bite-sized offers.
One Thought Today
To automate a micro-consulting service you need to build a clear booking + payment + delivery system.
Think Calendly for scheduling, Stripe or Gumroad for payments, and Notion/Google Docs for deliverables.
Personal Insights
My 45-minute strategy calls became a consistent revenue stream when I packaged them properly. Clients loved the clarity, and I loved the focus. No scope creep. Just value.
Things to Consider
- Define a clear offer (e.g., “45-minute content strategy session”).
 - Establish clear, fixed pricing and corresponding expectations.
 - Use automation for booking, payment, and follow-up.
 - Offer replays or notes to increase perceived value.
 - Encourage customers to upgrade to premium services or products for enhanced value and benefits.
 
Tools & Resources
- Calendly: Schedule calls
 - TidyCal: Affordable booking.
 - Stripe: Accept payments.
 - Notion: Store session notes.
 - Zoom: Video calls

Next Steps
Package one of your services as a 30–60 minute micro-consulting offer and build the booking flow.
