A new trend in real estate is real estate consultancy. Although the idea is not new, the concept of an hourly real estate consultant is slowly taking over the one-time transaction-based commission structure. Fee structures for a consultant vary from office to office, but one thing is for sure…
They understand the value of their time.
Get Paid per Phone Call
This post is not meant to introduce you to real estate consultancy. Rather, my intention is to show you a way that you can actually get paid to answer your phone. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that you’ve already been paid everytime you answer an incoming call?
Ether is just the service that can enable you to get paid.
How Ether Works
Real estate consultants get paid for what they do. So Ether makes this easy. …I just realized probably have people finding this site wondering about the chemical. Yikes! Oh well… So how Ether works. Your visitors (or email readers) click a call button or call your 800-Ether number. They prepay your fee via credit card. You answer the phone knowing that you’re getting paid. It’s pretty simple.
There are no ongoing monthly fees or setup fees. All you pay is a 15% cut to Ether. So if you’re fee is $100 for every half an hour, Ether gets $15. The nice thing about this service is that you don’t pay up front for anything. This means you can try out their service and see how it works before making it a major part of your real estate business (or whatever business you have).
I figure everyone would like to get paid to answer their phone, but I could be wrong. Let me know what you think! (And be on the lookout for my Ether button!)
