I had an idea to do something frustratingly similar to this. Not the $wage++ aspect, but to offer discounted rates for 1-2 hours in order to build up interesting business contacts. "Micro-consulting". Well done. 10% of these business contacts will likely want to hire this guy back at some three-figure number, and he will be able to choose the ones he wants to work with in the future.
