Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Since you are making a physical effort and spending money in rendering this service, in addition to using your status in doing so, it is permissible for you to take a fixed commission for that according to the most preponderant opinion of the scholars 
.
However, it is not permissible to get paid for using one’s status only according to the opinion which we believe to be the preponderant opinion of the scholars regarding taking a price for using one’s status.
Allaah Knows best.
