Question You Get
The Inbound Problem
Experts often receive high volumes of inbound requests in their DMs—career advice, portfolio reviews, or quick consulting. Most of these go unanswered or consume hours of your time for free.
The Async Solution
Priority DM lets you charge for this written advice. Instead of scheduling a call, your client pays a set fee and submits their question or files (résumé, portfolio, code, etc.).
Respond on Your Schedule
You respond in text, audio, or video — on your own schedule. No video call. No calendar. No Zoom link. Just a question, a payment, and your expert response.
What creators charge for async advice
Set your price per query and respond when you have the focus.
Résumé Review
Client submits their CV. You provide written or recorded feedback.
Portfolio Review
Designers, developers, and writers submit work. You review and annotate.
Quick Consulting
Specific business or technical question. Detailed written answer.
Content Feedback
Review a blog post, LinkedIn strategy, or pitch deck.
