Charge for Your Time. Get Paid Before You Reply.
Lawyers charge by the hour. Consultants charge by the project. Doctors don't take walk-ins for free. But online, experts answer messages for nothing — every day, endlessly. FastPass changes that.
Average rate: $27/message
Your time has a price. Does your inbox know that?
The 5-minute reply trap
A quick question here, a short reply there. None of it paid. All of it valuable. Most experts lose 3–5 hours a week to uncompensated advice without realising it.
The free strategy session
What starts as a "quick call" becomes 45 minutes of free consulting. FastPass puts a price on inbox access before any of that time is spent.
The "pick your brain" ask
Coffee chats, DMs, emails — everyone wants your expertise for free. FastPass charges for the access that used to cost you nothing but took everything.

The real reason experts don't charge for their time — and why that's changing
Most experts know they should charge for their time online. They know their inbox is costing them hours every week. And yet they don't — because the mechanism doesn't exist, or because asking for money mid-conversation feels awkward.
FastPass removes both obstacles. The mechanism is a single link. The ask is automatic — the price is displayed upfront before anyone types a single word. You never have to say "I charge for this." Your FastPass link says it for you, professionally and without apology.
The shift in perception that follows is immediate. When you charge for your time, you signal that your time has value. Questions become more considered. Pitches become more specific. The people who reach you have already decided you're worth paying for — which makes every conversation start from mutual respect rather than extraction. The experts who charge for their time online aren't being difficult. They're being honest about what their knowledge is worth.
Frequently asked questions
Can I set different rates for different types of questions?
Currently FastPass uses one rate per profile. We recommend setting it at the level of your most valuable inquiry type — the price that filters out low-effort requests while welcoming serious ones.
What happens if I don't reply within the sender's chosen window?
Senders choose a response window when paying — 24h, 48h, or 72h. If you don't respond within that window, they get a full automatic refund. No penalties for you — FastPass is designed to be completely pressure-free.
Do I need a large audience to make this work?
No. Even with a small, engaged audience, charging $50–$100 per message for 5 replies a month adds $250–$500 in passive income. The key is intent — a small audience that values your expertise pays more than a large one that doesn't.
How does the fee structure work?
FastPass takes a 25% platform fee — you keep 75% of every message. Refer 3 creators to FastPass and your fee drops to 15%, meaning you keep 85%. The more you grow the community, the more you earn per reply.
Is there a cap on how many messages I receive?
Yes — FastPass currently limits incoming paid messages to 5 per day. This keeps your workload manageable, your response quality high, and your access genuinely exclusive for the people who pay to reach you.
