Design predefined packages based on your experience and charge fixed amounts per project, and sell additional hours for a known cost too. However, I've seen some well established consultation companies use freelancers platforms to market their services and get paid, so it might be worth trying.

This is a local services marketplace, not software, but it has good marketing.

Sorry for that. I've hired couple of consultation companies on freelancers or elance (can't remember which for sure), it think it was working quite well for them.
