Bob,I think this would be fair; you are providing a service that is helpful to many.
What are you thinking - ballpark number now - in terms of a fee?
Or should we discuss what we think would be fair? I don't have anything to compare with the kind of service this is, except maybe group therapy, and that was $10 a week. Probably too much to ask of people here, but I believe Babble is at least as helpful to some people as one session a week of group therapy.
However, if you "sell" it as that, there is some sort of liability issue for you, I'm sure, because you are not the traditional "therapist" or group leader, in that you do not get involved in dispensing advice. So it's a unique situation...
Just some thoughts,
Wendy
