If this is B1 visa you are talking about, then it does not allow you to exchange your services for compensation. The only B1 traveling purpose that might fit you, in theory, is "training" where you are reimbursed for your living expenses, so you might look into that.

How about consultancy work? That's what I did in US with B-1, and specificially I talked to border officer about this being legal.
IANAL but I think that depends on whether or not a US entity pays for the actual consulting.
