Wite Collar

Become a mentor and get paid for what you know

Wite Collar is a mentorship app where experienced people mentor one on one over video, on their own schedule, and earn from it.

To become a mentor on Wite Collar, download the app, build a profile with a short intro video, list the skills you can teach and open times in your schedule. Mentees who match your skills send connection requests, you accept the ones you want, and you are paid for each one-hour video session you run in the app.

Wite Collar calls its mentors Skills Builders, because the point is practical: someone leaves each hour able to do something they could not do before. Mentors come from any field, from software to sales to running a business.

Why mentor on Wite Collar

  • You get paid for experience you already have. Mentoring turns a skill set into income without building a course or an audience first.
  • You keep your schedule. You open the hours that work around your job, and every session is one hour.
  • Mentees come to you. The app matches mentees to your skills, location and teaching style, so you do not have to market yourself.
  • You build a track record. Mentees endorse the mentors who helped them, and those endorsements show on your profile.

Price your time like it is worth something

"It is tempting as a mentor, when you are not reaching your financial goals, to start lowering your price."

What makes a good mentor profile

  1. An intro video that sounds like you. Mentees watch it before they send a request, so say who you help and what they will be able to do afterward.
  2. Specific skills. "Negotiating a raise" or "bookkeeping for a new LLC" is easier to choose than "business".
  3. Open times you will keep. A few reliable slots a week beat a full calendar you cancel.

Questions
