Step 2: Build Your Expert Profile (2 minutes)

In The Proving Ground, your reputation is the learner’s guarantee. Make your profile reflect your actual industry standing.

Profile Setup

• Headline: Direct and specific (e.g., “12+ Years Product Design | Ex-Google | Design System Expert”).
• Bio: No-hype. State your experience, your areas of expertise, and your mentoring style.
• The Arsenal (Skills): List the skills you can verify. Only list what you can rigorously review.
• Photo: Use a professional, high-quality headshot.

Step 3: Set Your Availability (1 minute)

Maintain control over your schedule via the Mentor Command Centre.

Configuration

1. Navigate to Availability Settings.
2. Weekly Schedule: Define the specific hours you are available for one-on-one sessions or deliverable reviews.
3. Buffer Time: Add mandatory buffers (e.g., 15 minutes) between sessions to ensure quality.
4. Minimum Notice: We recommend requiring at least 24 hours notice for bookings.

Step 4: Create Your Services (1 minute)

Packages define how you share your expertise and how you are compensated.

Package Creation

• Single Session: One-off technical guidance or code reviews.
• Monthly Subscription: Ongoing support for learners tackling complex Live Ops.
• Pricing: Set your professional hourly rate. FursaFlow handles the escrow and release of funds (minus the platform fee).

Start Fair

If you are new to the platform, consider a slightly lower introductory rate to build your first set of reviews. Once your verification record is established, adjust your rates accordingly.

Step 5: Review & Verify (Ongoing)

The core of the mentor role is the Submission Review Terminal.

Your Responsibility

• Submission Review: When a learner completes a milestone in a Live Op, you may be called upon to review their output.
• Direct Feedback: Provide rigorous, professional critique. Directness is more valuable than vague praise.
• Sign Off: Your approval “signs off” on the milestone, adding a verified entry to the learner’s Log.

Common Questions

How much can I earn?

Your earning potential depends on your expertise and availability. High-demand technical skills (e.g., Cloud Architecture, Data Science) often command premium rates.

How do I get paid?

FursaFlow holds funds in escrow. Once a session is completed or a deliverable is verified, funds are released to your account and processed via your chosen payout method.

What if I need to cancel a session?

Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Repeated late cancellations or no-shows will impact your professional standing on the platform.
