Getting approved as a Revquix Professional Mentor is the easy part. The part that actually determines whether you earn anything is what happens after: opening slots, setting a price that reflects your seniority, adding a payout account, and deciding how much of your week you actually want to give to this. None of it is complicated, but nobody explains it end-to-end in one place - so here it is.
This guide assumes you're already approved. If you haven't applied yet, start with the full application walkthrough - link at the end of this article.
First: nothing goes live until you turn it on
This is the most important thing to understand before touching anything else. After approval, your mentor profile has three independent switches, and every one of them defaults to something that protects your time, not something that rushes you into bookings:
|
Switch |
What it controls |
Default after approval |
|---|---|---|
|
Go live / Go offline |
The master switch - whether mentees can discover and book you at all |
ON |
|
Accept Mock Interviews |
Whether the Mock Interview service specifically is bookable |
ON if pricing added |
|
Accept Hourly Sessions |
Whether the Hourly Session service specifically is bookable |
ON if pricing added |
All three live on your Manage Profile page in the dashboard. You can turn the master switch off at any time - instantly hiding your profile from every mentee search and booking flow - without touching your price, your slots, or anything else you've set up. Turning it back on brings everything back exactly as you left it.
Going on a work trip, mid-deadline crunch, or just want a week off from bookings? Flip the master switch off. It's faster than cancelling individual slots one by one, and mentees simply won't see you until you flip it back.
Staying off — or on but with zero open slots — has a real visibility cost, not just a booking one: the /mentors marketplace only ever shows mentors who are active, have at least one service switched on, and are accepting bookings. If a mentee filters by a skill you actually have, you won't appear in those results at all while you're offline or closed. Keeping at least a few slots open isn't just about earning from that specific slot — it's what keeps your profile listed and findable in skill searches in the first place.
Setting your price for each service
Mock Interviews and Hourly Sessions are priced completely independently — you can charge different amounts for each, and you don't have to offer both. Pricing lives on the same Manage Profile page, right above the availability switches:
-
Enter a price in INR for whichever service(s) you want to offer.
-
The page validates your price live against the platform's minimum and maximum for that service - if you type something outside the allowed band, you'll see exactly what range is acceptable before you can save.
-
Save - the new price applies immediately to every slot that hasn't been booked yet. Anyone who already booked at your old price keeps that price; it's never retroactively changed.
The same page shows you a live preview of your public mentor card - the exact card mentees see on /mentors - so you can check how your price, headline, and skills actually look before anyone else does
There's no "recommended price" auto-suggestion - you're expected to price based on your own seniority, domain, and what similar mentors on /mentors are charging. See the companion "How Much Can You Actually Earn" article for the real platform-wide minimum and maximum figures.
Opening slots — this is what actually makes you bookable
A price with no open slots is invisible to mentees — slots are the actual bookable inventory. Slot management lives on its own dashboard page, separate from pricing, with four stat tiles at the top (Total Opened, Booked, Available, Cancelled) so you always know your current standing at a glance.
-
Click Open Slots and choose a start date, an optional end date, a start time, and an end time - this is the daily working window you want to be bookable in.
-
Click Create to see a preview first - a real dry run showing every individual slot that would be opened, grouped by date, with any already-open slots clearly marked so you don't accidentally duplicate them.
-
Review the preview, then confirm - only then are the slots actually created. Nothing is opened without this explicit confirm step.
Slots aren't tied to a specific service - the same open slot can be booked for either Mock Interview or Hourly Session, priced live from whichever service the mentee is booking, at the moment they book. You don't manage separate slot calendars for each service.
Changed your mind about a slot? Cancelling is built in
Any slot that isn't booked yet can be cancelled individually with one click from your slot list, right up until it starts. Need to clear a whole stretch of time at once — say, you're travelling for a week? Bulk Cancel lets you pick a from/to date-time range and cancels every unbooked slot inside it in one action. Booked slots are untouched by bulk cancel; you'd need to handle an already-booked session through the normal reschedule/dispute process instead of just deleting it.
Getting paid: payout accounts and your wallet
Before any money can reach you, you need at least one payout account on file. This lives on a dedicated Payout Accounts page in your dashboard, completely separate from your session/slot tools:
-
Bank Account - account holder name, bank name, account number, IFSC code, and whether it's a Savings or Current account.
-
UPI — just your UPI ID (e.g.
name@upi).
You can add multiple accounts of either type and mark one as Primary - that's the account every automatic payout goes to. Every new account, of either type, needs to clear admin verification before it can actually receive a payout; until then it shows a "Pending verification" badge rather than blocking you from adding it.
Add and verify a payout account before you expect your first payout, not after. Verification isn't instant, and a session you've already completed will still show its payout as pending until a verified primary account exists to send it to.
Once money starts moving, your Payout History page gives you the full picture: total earned lifetime, total paid out, amount pending/processing, and amount on hold - each with its own stat card - plus a filterable list of every individual payout with its status (Pending → Processing → Completed, or Failed/On Hold if something needs attention), the commission percentage actually applied, and a reference number. You can export any filtered view straight to CSV for your own records.
Running your own promotions: mentor coupons
If you want to offer a discount - for a first-time mentee, a referral, or just to build early reviews - you can create your own coupon codes, scoped only to bookings on your own profile. Set a percentage or flat discount, a validity window, and a usage limit, and share the code however you like. This is entirely mentor-controlled; Revquix doesn't create or approve individual mentor coupons.
Putting your mentor card anywhere else on the internet
Your Services & Pricing page also includes an Embed Your Profile widget — the same feature covered in the dashboard guide, but worth calling out here specifically because as a mentor, what you're embedding is your live, bookable mentor card: your ratings, your price, and a working "Book" button, not just a static bio. Pick a size (Compact / Standard / Wide) and a theme (Dark / Light / Auto), copy the generated <iframe> code, and drop it into a personal site, a LinkedIn article, or anywhere else that accepts embedded HTML — it's a genuinely useful way to route your own audience straight into a booking, without needing them to search for you on /mentors first.
So — is this moonlighting ?
This is worth answering directly rather than avoiding it, because it's the real hesitation behind this whole topic. Here's what's actually true, and what isn't ours to promise:
-
What's true and verifiable: mentoring on Revquix has no fixed schedule, no manager, no team, and no obligation to take a single booking — the global switch, the per-service switches, and the fact that slots are entirely self-opened mean you decide every hour of exposure, not the platform.
-
What's also true: sessions happen on video calls you schedule yourself, outside any employer's systems, and payouts go to a bank account or UPI ID you control — Revquix has no visibility into, and makes no report to, your employer.
What Revquix's product does make genuinely easy is keeping this boundaried and low-key if that's what you want: no public "employee of X mentors on Revquix" branding is forced onto your profile, no calendar sync exposes your slots to a work calendar unless you connect one yourself, and the master switch means you're never visibly "on" the platform for longer than you choose to be.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to keep both Mock Interview and Hourly Session switched on?
No — each service has its own switch, independent of the other and independent of the master "Go live" switch. Run just one, both, or neither, and change your mind anytime.
What happens to my price if I raise it after slots are already open?
The new price applies instantly to every open, unbooked slot. Anyone who booked before your change keeps the price they actually paid.
How long does payout account verification take?
The dashboard doesn't display a fixed SLA - treat it as a step to complete well before you expect your first payout, not something to do reactively.
Can I create a discount just for one specific mentee?
Coupons are code-based and shareable, not targeted to a specific user - set a usage limit of 1 if you want to effectively restrict it to a single redemption.
Does opening slots commit me to being available at those times?
A slot only becomes a real commitment once someone books it. Unbooked slots can be cancelled individually or in bulk at any time before they start.
