Problem01

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.

Process02

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.).

Freedom03

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 pointing out critical changes.

Average Charge₹500–₹2,000

Portfolio Review

Designers, developers, and writers submit their work portfolio. You review, annotate, and give constructive critiques.

Average Charge₹2,000–₹10,000

Quick Consulting

Client asks a highly specific business or technical question. You provide a detailed, actionable written response.

Average Charge₹1,000–₹5,000

Content Feedback

Review a client's blog post draft, LinkedIn content plan, copywriting sample, or startup pitch deck.

Average Charge₹1,000–₹3,000

How Priority DM Works

From payment to response, here's how it works.

01

Set your price

Decide what you charge per query. Set a response time (e.g., 48 hours).

02

Client pays & submits

Client checks out, adds their question, and uploads any files (CV, portfolio, etc.).

03

Respond on your timeline

Reply in text, attach a document, record a Loom, or write a summary response.

04

Client gets notified

Client gets notified by email & WhatsApp. The response is saved in their dashboard.

Live vs. Async

Why experts are moving
to Priority DM

1:1 calls are great for depth, but Priority DM is built for scale. No more calendar management or video fatigue.

The Scale Advantage

A typical creator can handle 5–8 calls a week before burnout. With Priority DM, you can respond to 50+ queries in the same time, without ever opening Zoom.

Proven Results

Creators already
answering at scale

I get 200+ LinkedIn DMs a week asking for career advice. I enabled Priority DM at ₹999. Now I earn ₹40,000–₹60,000 a month just answering questions I was already answering for free.

Neha S.Senior PM at a top startup

I'm a designer with 80K Instagram followers. Portfolio review requests were overwhelming me. Now they pay ₹3,000 first. Volume dropped from 50 per week to 12 — the ones who actually value my time.

Alok M.UX/UI Designer

I use Priority DM for quick strategy calls without the calendar. Clients pay ₹2,000, send their context, and I reply with a Loom or written plan within 48 hours. It's become 30% of my consulting revenue.
