How are you gonna do it now? I have a friend who I help but I really don't have time.
Also, why did you do it for free? I've found when I help somebody for 10 mins or so it usually gets me in the mood of programming my own stuff.

I'm not sure.
Ideally I'd have a site where I can put my email and encourage folks to write me. This has worked better than video chat for me, since:
1) folks rubber duck [1] themselves while writing, so they ask better questions.
2) it's asynchronous, so we don't have to find a matching slot in our schedules (and don't commit to an amount of time beforehand)
I've redirected all my Helpouts schedule requests to email recently and it's worked well.

I just never considered charging. I don't think I could do so and feel good about it with the amount of free help I've received (irc, SO, hacker school, college...).
