'Freelance' Powerleveling - worth doing?

[Leonardleopard24]

So I've a lot of time on my hands, and I'd like to get involved in powerleveling for others, bot-free. Obviously I'm new, so I need to build up rep and trust first, maybe offer free short-term powerleveling, etc, before I can even consider charging for my services. But before I even consider that I have a few important questions about powerleveling.

How much demand is there for powerleveling now, really? With the huge changes to leveling in Cataclysm, I'd think there'd be a lot less?
Am I likely to get regular offers even if I was/am a verified, high-rep member?
What is the average expected time frame for powerleveling 1 to 85 now? Smaller brackets like 1 to 60?
Are people really tight about 'you MUST be done by x # of days', or is it just a matter of getting it done without taking forever?
Whats' the average paying rate as well? Is it so little that I could hardly even consider it a 'part-time' gig?
What are the usual expected 'bonuses' to a powerleveled character? Full professions, master riding? Set amount of JP, full gear?
I realize this is one of the riskier choices for buyers of MMO 'gray market' stuff, so what can I do to insure people while I lvl their toons?

Appreciate any and all input from you guys. I realize these questions make me look like a noob, but I'd rather be wiser than try shit without considering everything. Thanks.

Look at the powerleveling threads in the member powerleveling section, you may have to donate to see it, there you can see rough estimate of prices, time, and packages ect. Being a donator and ID Verified would make people trust you more than just being some random 1 rep user with 1 post that joined this month. I am also trying to do pl but bot leveling to make some money, however there are not many buying powerleveling, or gold anymore in wow.

Thanks I will definitely take a look at that section.

I agree, getting verified before I start is an important first step, but I was also curious if there are any common 'failsafe' or 'insurance' given to buyers so they can feel secure on an individual account basis. The sellers have nothing to lose in this case, after all. Is it simply doing account recall with secret blizz questions and stuff?

Lack of demand for powerleveling is my main concern, I would rather not bother getting involved if I will be making peanuts in the long run. I'd want to go a few weeks of giving free levels at first just to prove myself, but later on? If I can make more doing a really low income part-time job... I don't see the point, for me...

... except for the fact that I'm unemployed. >_>
And freelance work of any kind is pretty appealing.
