Become an expert · hourly bookings

Teach what you've already done,by the hour, to people who need it

If you've shipped AI implementations, given AI advice, trained teams, or mentored and interviewed people in IT, you can take hourly bookings at JR Academy. You set the rate and the slots; learners arrive with their problem already written down.

Why take bookings here

You only need to make the hour count

Learners arrive with the problem

AI orders include the learner's description and AI diagnosis: steps, estimated hours, where they're stuck.

You set rate and slots

Open availability as time ranges; they are split into 30-minute slots, so new clients can start with half an hour or book several in a row.

Every order is itemised

Paid orders go into your ledger; a monthly statement moves from pending → confirmed → paid.

Learners come from the site

Your profile appears in the expert list and AI diagnosis recommendations. No booking volume is promised.

Money

What learners pay and what you keep

Order amount = booked duration × your hourly rate. The platform deducts a service fee and payment fee per order; the rest is yours. The calculator below uses the same rules as the back office.

Estimate your take-home from your own numbers

Learners pay
A$1,200.00
Payment fee (1.85% + A$0.30 per order)
− A$25.20
Platform fee (20%)
− A$240.00
You receive
A$934.80

Payment fees estimated as 10 orders of about 1 hour each.
A statement for the previous month is generated on day 1 of each month and paid after confirmation.
This only applies the current fee rules to the numbers you entered. It does not predict how many bookings you will get.

Vetting, cancellation and refund rulesHow experts are vetted and how learner cancellations and refunds work

How experts are vetted

  • Our team reviews each application by hand, looking at real projects delivered rather than titles
  • AI experts must provide at least one implementation case study (anonymised is fine)
  • After each session learners can rate and review it; reviews appear on the expert's page

Bookings and refunds

  • Billed by the slot you choose: a 30-minute slot is 0.5 hours, 1.5 hours is 1.5 × the hourly rate
  • More than 1 hour before the session you can request cancellation in My bookings; it then goes to refund processing pending the expert's confirmation
  • If the expert doesn't show up at the agreed time or the session clearly doesn't match, contact support; refunds are issued after we verify
  • AI consulting, implementation and team training currently don't stack membership discounts

Expert FAQ

How much does the platform take?

Each order has a platform service fee and payment fee deducted; the current rates are shown in the expert dashboard and the calculator on this page. Membership discounts don't apply to AI services, so learners pay your listed rate.

When do I get paid?

Paid orders enter your earnings ledger. A statement for the previous month is generated monthly and paid after you confirm it.

What if a learner cancels?

Learners can request cancellation more than 1 hour before the session; it goes to refund processing after your confirmation. Self-service cancellation isn't available within 1 hour of the start.

I don't have an ABN / GST registration. Can I apply?

Yes, apply first. Learners pay exactly your listed hourly rate and the platform adds no tax on top. Add your ABN and whether you are registered for GST in your profile; the monthly statement shows gross earnings, platform fee, payment fee, net payout and those two details. Your own GST reporting stays with you.

Can I take only AI or only career bookings?

Yes. Just create services for the areas you want.

Can the platform guarantee bookings?

No. The platform shows your profile to learners who need it and handles payment and settlement; booking volume depends on your focus, rate, availability and reviews.

Apply when you're ready

Write up 1–2 projects you've delivered. Once approved you can create services, open slots and start taking bookings.
