If you’ve spent years deep in an industry, there is demand for your insight. GLG Research connects subject-matter experts with investors, corporate strategy teams, and nonprofits that need real-world context—not generic reports.
“We bring the world’s insight network to every leader who needs to make a smarter decision.
My first GLG engagement came when a product team wanted to understand how mid-sized SaaS companies buy analytics tools. One hour of candid conversation translated into a consulting fee that would have taken several days of freelance work to earn. That is the kind of leverage Simplify My Life is all about: use the knowledge you already hold to buy back time without spinning up new hustles.
It fits the blog because GLG turns expertise into a calm, repeatable income stream. There is no rush to chase dozens of gigs; you set availability, vet requests, and step in only when the topic lights you up.

Why professionals join GLG
Concierge-matched projects with serious clients
GLG curates engagements so you spend more time sharing insight and less time pitching yourself.
Institutional demand
Work with investment firms, Fortune 500 teams, and NGOs that budget properly for specialized knowledge.
Concierge scheduling
A dedicated associate coordinates time zones, NDAs, and prep questions so you can focus on the discussion.
Ethics built-in
GLG’s compliance team guides every call so you stay within company policies and industry regulations.
How to stand out in the network
Be specific in your profile—list revenue ranges, software stacks, or regulatory frameworks you work with daily. That context helps GLG’s team match you to projects instantly. I also keep a short case-study paragraph ready to paste into pitch notes so clients see concrete wins.
Payment cadence you can plan around
GLG reviews each session recording to ensure compliance, then processes payments in batches. Expect funds within two weeks, often sooner. The portal tracks invoices automatically, which means no spreadsheets on your end.
Confirm your GLG availability
Set office hours, update your hourly rate, and let the concierge team know which industries excite you right now.
Watch for calendar invites—GLG sends prep materials and dial-in details as soon as a client confirms.
Final thought
GLG is ideal if you enjoy strategic conversations and have hard-won experience to share. Instead of squeezing side gigs between commitments, you can take a single call that pays like a full project and still log off on time.
