01
Open your hours
A simple grid. Open slots only. No app store. No extra software.
For anyone a no-show hurts
Hold the hour so a no-show cannot take it.
They pick a slot, pay a small hold, you get the book by email. You still do the work. We do not find clients. We hold the hour.

The hour is already paid for in your head. Make it paid on the book.

Coach / consultant
You blocked the hour. They should too.
Photographer
Light, location, kit. The slot is the scarce thing.
