Free Phone Consultations

We are committed to keeping our 15 minute phone consults free at the point of access for everyone. However, if you find this service valuable and would like to donate as a way to continue to fund the time we put into these we have decided to provide an option to donate via PayPal (PayPal.me/itsaslingthing).

We currently pay ourselves less than minimum wage and this is the way we support our families. There’s no obligation to pay. We will never hassle you for money. We have simply decided to offer you the option to donate. If you cannot donate but valued the service you received you can support us in other ways. Tell people about our service – word of mouth is by far the most trusted way of finding a service – by leave us a Facebook review, or just continue to use our service when you need us!

Hiring or buying from a small business makes a big difference to the survival of small companies like ours, and means we can carry on doing what we’re doing. Amazon cannot offer the personalised service, the information, or the specialised technical support that we offer!
